Lots of rumours floating around that Amber Aviation are about to lose their lease for Tooradin, hopefully the new lessee is a bit more friendly and accommodating to visiting pilots. Yarram Aero Club are currently fighting the local council (Wellington Shire) regarding landing fees https://yarramaeroclub.com.au/landing-fees/

Have you identified any issues caused by the overheating? Is the motor complete with ancillaries? What is your location? Thanks

Do a great job. You could also try a cup of concrete 😉

I've been planning to install seat heaters in my next build. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004981517799.html?src=google&pdp_npi=4%40dis!AUD!24.75!19.79!!!!!%40!12000031230573150!ppc!!!&src=google&albch=shopping&acnt=742-864-1166&isdl=y&slnk=&plac=&mtctp=&albbt=Google_7_shopping&aff_platform=google&aff_short_key=UneMJZVf&gclsrc=aw.ds&&albagn=888888&&ds_e_adid=&ds_e_matchtype=&ds_e_device=c&ds_e_network=x&ds_e_product_group_id=&ds_e_product_id=en1005004981517799&ds_e_product_merchant_id=107747560&ds_e_product_country=AU&ds_e_product_language=en&ds_e_product_channel=online&ds_e_product_store_id=&ds_url_v=2&albcp=21819463808&albag=&isSmbAutoCall=false&needSmbHouyi=false&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21819486122&gbraid=0AAAAA99aYpft7EHYrVvAiOBPb8L5mgJa2&gclid=Cj0KCQjw64jDBhDXARIsABkk8J7dA5vgSkLeNIzTvswhJ_H-TH0CaGYk2KQmiRQh5DtSpto1yLdtNqYaAp29EALw_wcB

I live on steep land, steep enough that a car can slide down the hill with the handbrake on and most 4wd's will not make it to the top of the back paddock if it is wet. My cows on the other hand have no problem with it

Unfortunately there is no provision for ICUS under RAAus. Seems to be a shortcoming in their regulations

A 2db change is typically barely noticeable but it comes down to the individual.

Under RAAus that the instructor is the PIC so therefore they are responsible, there isn't even the availability for ICUS for students that have done their solo but want to fly with their instructor. Unless the student has signed a rental or training contract that specifically states they are liable for the excess in case of damage to the aircraft I would be telling the flight school the liability lies with them

In preparing to reassemble my Supa Pup I was doing a thorough inspection of the wing struts and found a crack in one and a decent wear mark in another. Not having much luck finding a supplier for some replacements, anyone have any leads? Dimensions are 20mm x 47mm for the rear strut and 22mm x 50mm for the front one, both 2mm wall thickness. Cheers

It tells you the RRP and the discounted prices in the images in the first post

Does anyone know what the going hourly rate is for a RAAus flight instructor?

This seems to be a big problem from what I am hearing. Lots of older instructors retiring and no new blood filling the vacancy combined with the hour builders who have no interest in instructing apart from the ability to build hours quickly
