Easy to Google both these Gates hoses to see they are 17mm ID.

17mm ID

I took Skippy's advice and went for Gates hose but I just searched automotive catalogues for the best shape. I bought a few different ones because none of mine are straight. Every hose just had to have something cut off for a perfect fit.

A derogatory term for a LAME I believe 😄 In some slang contexts, "laim" can be an offensive term, often used to describe something as dull, uninteresting, or awkward, according to Dictionary.com. This is often a shortened and potentially derogatory form of the word "lame".

Yeah ok Shippy, I'll accept that. I don't mind if it's deleted but I'm sure my train of thought extended from somewhere related 😇

James Fisher did respond on Thursday with quite a long voice mail. He's able to supply a pretty good package including the iLevel AP for autopilot and ADSB-IN and then a Trig transponder for ADSB-OUT. I'm not too sure how they work the government rebate. It's available for both ADSB-IN and ADSB-OUT however I don't know if you can get both, if so then I need to purchase these items separately (two invoices). There's a $5000 limit but is that per invoice/ADSB? I just paid something over $800 for instrument calibration and that would have to be done again. I was counting on filling that spare 90mm hole in the dash however neither one of these comes with and attitude indicator and artificial horizon. I was mistaken in thinking the iLevel came with this. It's the Super ECO autopilot that will work with the iLevel but seems like a double up and another $4000 and not eligible for the rebate.

I like the price however you'd have international freight to add to that.

Some companies seem to ignore requests made on their website. Last week I saw that Level Aviation had a Oshkosh special running on the Level Autopilot (includes ADSB) so I looked up the Australian agent Swish Projects in Victoria. I sent them an onsite request for the basic unit plus some accessories. It's now Wednesday with no sign of a response.

I think this is a very big video. I left the site but the video eventually fired up in the background. If you need to upload a big video it can be easily resized in the free app Handbrake. I can alter a GB to a few hundred MB's in minutes without losing any noticeable quality.

Very interesting Skippy. I was sitting in bed last night preparing a route from Cue to Northam. I can't fly it but I will drive it and do various calculations as I travel just as an effort to further understand OzRunways. While I was at it I turned on traffic and saw none. It was the middle of the night so I thought it may be possible but then I went to Flightradar at there they were. Right now I only have five aircraft in all of Australia.

How about that couple sitting at the caravan park in Emerald dreaming of seeing the Carnarvon National Park from the air but all they have is a 4WD?

Yes OzRunways says 250km drive but the Emerald is the closest place to hire a car. We've been there but it was a 4500km drive. I'm getting ready to head down to Northam to visit my plane. I'm digging through the shed to see if I can find a 12v solar panel to look after the battery. I intend to start it and do a few laps back and forth just to keep everything working. I can't fly because I haven't found a trainer with the time to take me onboard.

Just as well they had a spare 11,000 ft to sort it out. Even though they had plenty of elevation they exceeded the maximum speed and load on the aircraft while in a vertical dive.

I think a partly built kit like this is a great way to go but if I was to take on a project like this I'd need to have a time slot to knock it off real quick. Too many things like this never get completed in time to enjoy them.
