Well done Louis nice pictures. Late afternoon flights are a great way to end the day.

My condolences to Davids family & friends. Such very sad news.

Xair Hanuman with folding wing.

The hanuman does have folding wings it is part of the kit it is actually allready installed in the main structure. I dont fold my wings & never have as I have no need to it is in a hanger.

I was at Wings over Illawarra at the weekend & one thing I did notice was the amount of expired ASIC cards Pilots had hanging around their necks. The only thing this card is good for is ripping $$$ out of our pockets????

Thats what I was thinking!

Motz does this engine have less than 500 hours TTIS or more than 200 hours TSO. Did it have the newer style nuts fitted? Good to hear all are ok

Motz did this engine have the new 12 point nuts fitted? How many hours total time in service did the engine have? Glad pilot & Pax were not hurt.

Spot on!

Hi I do have the Horizon XL & Stratomaster velocity single. Great equipment & a excellent form on the MGL site. Cheers

There is a fly in at Mittagong YMIG on Sunday 29th April all types of aircraft welcome. A BBQ will be run by the Southern Highlands Air League Squadron. Airfield information is all in the ERSA or at www.bdac.org.au Hopefuly the weather will be good to us.

I think you also need to look at the maintenance log books (which all aircraft should have & kept up to date) & the blokes that just have to tinker & fiddle with the engine. I think that is half the problem. (IMHO), you only have to get on the forms & read some of the hair brain ideas that some come up with. For the record I have a had 2 Jab engines in 2 different aircraft have no problems do the prescribed maintenance as the manufacture requirements. I would also buy a Rotax if it was going to be appropriate for my next Build . Horses for courses!

What about Jabirus not only flying in Australia but world wide? Its like ford or Holden I use to repair more Holdens than Fords when I had my workshop. Some would say Fords are better others say Holdens. Me personaly I think all cars are heaps of S#@t thats why I sold my workshop & started repairing aircraft.

Excellent photos Guys looked like it was a great adventure for you. Cheers Tony

Great video love the smile on all the kids faces that to me is what Aviation is all about. Cheers Tony

Yeah I know that.

Thanks Mal. Why VH I hold a PPL & at the time of registering it RAA were in discussion with CASA to get a height increase & not sure if that was going to get passed. My personal opinnion is that SAAA are better orgainised than RAA. Benefits Rego is a one off payment not annual, I can fly in to controlled airspace. Downside getting the C of A was lot of extra work especially with weight & balance charts Xair manufacture is really limted they have a Excell programe where you in put the weights from your aircraft press enter & if the number comes up in the green she's in balance, CASA wants a little more than that so we had a bit of work to do on that. Cheers

Thanks that would be great.

Thanks. I had seen yours at Natfly Temora last year on the Xair display stand ,what propeller pitch are you runing on yours?

Was at Natfly yesterday the forms I attended were well attended & presented. Plenty of aircraft not a lot of rag & tube, The trade sites were lacking some regulars that are normally attend but were not here this year(not sure why).There was a lot of Gyro's on display this which is good to see. Congratulations to the orgainisers & volunteers a job well down. Attached are some pictures

t Thanks Phil its very satisfying I still haven't come down. Unfortantly I wont be flying it to Natfly this year, Im flying a RV 7A in on Friday.

It sure does Pud!
