  1. This is what it used to look like, https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:cfPcgQf2n-wJ:https://www.aircraftpilots.com/tutorials/navigation/safety.html+&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=au Anyone know where the rest of it is?
  2. I really like the sound of Moree. :D Thanks again, such a wealth of info. Awesome! What a life! How wonderful is that! What an era we live in. Holiday in Qld, that's awesome! :D
  3. Yes, that's just the *new* manual, I'll be planning on the usual 105 knots that the old P92 echo super gave us. The Jabiru 160's and 170's I usually fly I always plans nav's at 90knots cruise. It's a matter of having a rough guide, see how we feel on the day, weather etc. See how long it takes to get to our first waypoint and we'll get a better idea of actual aircraft speed. Each aircraft is always that little bit different! That and we'll be taking off with full fuel (or as near as practicable to MTOW after weight/balance), 2POB, water back packs and two overnight bags.
  4. Thanks so much. nickduncs84, according to the new POH/AFM, 116knots cruise speed. A bit less than the 130-135odd knots of the bearhawke, but not too shabby! We'll likely take 2-3 days. Cheers for the ideas. Jabiru Phil, thanks so much for your detailed run down. $100 call out? That's a bit steep, but they are providing a service... so yes. Moree, yes, I've heard that town mentioned numerous times now. Looks very promising. What aircraft are you using for the extensive Caloundra return trip? For Work? Or is it in your 230? I've heard people also half follow the Darling River down also!
  5. Hi Everyone, How are you all? We're planning on flying a Tecnam Eaglet home from Runaway Bay QLD to Gawler SA in the near future. We have a few days at our disposal to bring her home at a somewhat leisurely pace. 1) Has anyone completed a similar such trip? 2) Any inside knowledge on good pilot welcoming places to stay overnight? As in, accom is at the airfield/nearby? 3) Any aerial views that we can't miss en route? 4) Any tips or tricks or suggestions? Thanking you kindly in advance. :-)
  6. For interests sake, I always show students this video, it details exactly which part of the wing stalls first. The slow motion part is very useful also. It really shows the wing washout effect (how the wing is aerodynamically engineered to stall the wing root (closest to the fuselage) first then out towards the wing tip): - How it reduces the angle of incidence on wing tip compared to wing root, - How the wing tip reaches critical angle later, - How the wing is engineered to ensure the wing root stalls first, thus providing control buffet and a more stable stall.
  7. Haha... Now I'm back on here too :P
  8. Fly early morning or late afternoon to avoid these dreaded "bumps" :-)

    Jabiru Rumour...

    A one seater Jabiru?? Now that would really climb well! :P
  10. G'day all! The names Catsy (online) Chantal (in life)! I'm a recreational pilot (RAAus) who has just hit her 100 hour total aviation experience mark! and Loving every minute of it! I fly mainly Jabiru's and the occassional Tecnam and the occassional glider from the Gawler Airfield just an hours drive North of Adelaide, South Australia! If you leave your passenger door open, you'll find you have additional cargo! I'm eager to fly in anycraft and love being up in the skies every opportunity I get... restricted only by my hip pocket :-( Wonder if there are any other pilots here from Gawler, or from SA even?? Cheers, Catsy! :-)
