They are pretty big.

The one that hit me was in attack mode. Hit the wing near the fuselage. Wakes you up. Pushed the leading edge back quite a way.

Happened to me a couple of months ago in the middle of the Nullabor ! Lots of damage

Hi Nev, are you still riding ? Veterans down your way in October

I plan on being there - although my aircraft may not be as its in maintenance. Was well attended last year. Hopefully the weather is OK

I use a PingUSB - it does use USB for power only and connects to ipad via Wifi. It would not be suitable if you dont have a sim in the ipad and expect to use Wifi to connect to phone hotspot. I love it but sometimes its a little sensitive to position in the aircraft relative to the ipad. We flew about 12 hours on a trip last weekend with no issues.

The amount of information we get from EFBs these days is amazing. We did what we had to before them but I think its much safer now.

I have not tried SWS yet on my recently acquired Cherokee C 180. Will be interested to see what you come up with.

When I had my new aircraft in for avionics work I kept the ADF - its a very classic one - for the look ! However it does still work. Flew over Wagga a couple of weeks ago and tried it out for old times sake.

You are absolutely correct Nev !! About 50 aircraft out in the parking area plus a lot of hangars open. For some reason I can't edit that post to currect

It was a lovely day with quite a nood northout

Yes exactly - I have out on the aircraft already so the skyecho is overkill. They do look like a good thing though.

I now have ADSB out on my aircraft. Have just purchased a uavionix PING ADSB receiver to display ADSB traffic on OzRunways. Have not tried it yet but should give similar input to the Skyecho at a fraction of the price.

I enjoy the Foxbat. Not particularly fast but otherwise a nice aircraft. And its comfortable for my 6'2". I must get back in one - have not flown one for almost a year.
