    I'm a big fan of the RV15 from what I have seen so far. I wouldn't order a kit until they are completely available though, would suck to have the wing kit and then have Vans fold

    There was enough freedom in the survey to be able to make comment on the content, not just the delivery

    Latest issue of Sport Pilot has a QR code linking to a Survey as to what should be done with Sport Pilot moving forward. As someone who rarely finds more than one article worth reading per issue it was good to be able to give some feedback

    Exercise Talisman Sabre is on at the moment so there are a few more American Military aircraft around at the moment

    You can always use the "Ignore function" for posters like facthunter It would be a pity for you to stop posting. There will always be the comments from the peanut gallery, usually made evident by asserting a fact and failing to back it up with any evidence whilst telling you to research it yourself. Best just to ignore them and move on

    There will always be people who make claims with out the evidence to back them up. The people who have the failures tell anyone who will listen, the people with no issues rarely tell anyone. Majority of the failures are typically linked to poor maintenance. I always ran 2-5% Motul 2 stroke oil as premix in my oil injected 2 strokes, give you a little bit of safety margin if the oil injection system fails

    I have a Nostalgair Supa Pup and have the manuals for it, not sure it is the same as a Mk4 Supapup though

    I did the 2 day practical L1 course at Wings out West in Dubbo. Was a great experience even if I had done most of the practical component previously. Was run by Darren Barnfield from RAAus and Dan from Wings out West.

    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?
  23. T510
    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

    Given the tyres are flat I wouldn't think there would be too much risk of that plane flying anytime soon

    Tooradin was bought by Amber Airports a few years ago, haven't heard anything good about Tooradin since then. I think they thought they could make plenty of money out of it.
