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.

Are some people confusing QNH and QFE in this discussion ?

ECHUCA (YECH) C3/24 RWY 17/35 CLOSED DUE WIP SOUTHERN GRAVEL TWY AND CENTRAL TWY CLOSED DUE WIP FROM 03 032000 TO 05 310000 EST

I love OzEunways, have used it almost from its inception, and have no intention of stopping just because of an ownership change. Maybe in the future if all the dire predictions in this post come true I will change my mind but not until it actually happens.
