  1. I have a Nostalgair Supa Pup and have the manuals for it, not sure it is the same as a Mk4 Supapup though
  2. 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.
  3. 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/
  4. Have you identified any issues caused by the overheating? Is the motor complete with ancillaries? What is your location? Thanks
  5. https://www.bigw.com.au/product/30-pairs-60pcs-foot-warmers-adhesive-heating-pads-shoes-feet-for-ski-snow-winter/p/9900045151?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20845796614&gbraid=0AAAAADkZkLhKgcVE0i38SsaDISHIbul1Q&gclid=Cj0KCQjw64jDBhDXARIsABkk8J7lM49HcZQfdyCW2MvZkccEEY4OQNz1rzgivKABlYfxBBqq_jO7rJEaAoiQEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds I have used similar to these working in the arctic circle. Do a great job. You could also try a cup of concrete 😉
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. Unfortunately there is no provision for ICUS under RAAus. Seems to be a shortcoming in their regulations
  9. A 2db change is typically barely noticeable but it comes down to the individual.
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. It tells you the RRP and the discounted prices in the images in the first post
  13. Does anyone know what the going hourly rate is for a RAAus flight instructor?
  14. 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
  15. Given the tyres are flat I wouldn't think there would be too much risk of that plane flying anytime soon
  16. 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.
  17. I have noticed I'm getting Maurice Blackburn ads about the Matt Farrell case on social media. Seems like the ambulance chasing lawyers have aviation in their sights
  18. I always lusted after a BD5 as a kid, as a 6"2 adult there is no way I could fit in one
  19. I don't have ADSB, don't even have a battery, charging system or a starter for that matter
  20. CASA can't update their drone regulations quickly enough to keep up with the advances in technology as it is,
  21. Thanks Neil, I find talking to people who are actually using them is a big help rather than relying on online reviews. I'm based in Gippsland.
  22. Thanks, I will continue to read up on the various options. Unfortunately at this stage it isn't a Cub, that is what I learnt to fly in and is definitely the end goal though.
