    Dead set.........a jab........( which BTW, account for 30+% of all rec craft in Oz ).......and we read this header here....."another jab goes down " this "tone" that gets bandied about every single time..............i'm puckin over the rubbish. Thankyou to jabiru, for designing a damn fine flying machine, at an affordable price........after sales service 2nd to none. The tenacity of jab to continue and improve their product, while constantly getting garbage emotive rubbish as shown here.......and elsewhere. the pathetic rubbish that gets said re jabs, bewilds me. Ask any of the non jab owners to accompany you in "their" aircraft, and you in your jab jab, on a seriously extended fly around......the pathetics will come up with excuses why they can't. These folks do the 100 mile stuff from departure point.......then have the gonades to say they fly xcountry..........wana bees. I will be bold enough to say.......if it wasn't for jabs, rec aviation would still be tube and fabric, and pilot numbers would be a fraction of what they are now...... so get that into ya................Grrrrrrrr

    Ok.......you're heading off on a long jaunt, why power your way to cruise height ???.....setup cruise revs, set up gentle climb rate 150....250ftpm max, and sit back........you'll get to height with no engine stress / high fuel burn, happining. works for me.......

    Ever discussed a matter, get advice etc, then later find that advice was wrong. Call back company, whatever, and being fobbed off. Ok.....I have, so......how does one record ph conversation on iPhone when a circumstance might require it. ( do as many companies now do......sir your call is important, and we are recording this conversation for training etc etc etc, if you do not wish for this to be recorded please advise consultant....bla bla bla ) Asked for a confirmation email once, as I knew the info was suss......never arrived.

They more often than not, get back "on topic"..........as to politics/religion etc etc.....what the hec, it all adds to the "mix".............of interaction. Aviation site...yes it is...........bring on diverse matters from time to time...........others "ideas" etc etc......can be food for thought for me/you. just sayin.........

    Thanks HIC.........i've had several runs out to the coast from kununarra, ( victoria river mouth etc ), stayed bullo river as well, the "top end" is to see to believe. Jab on floats............what a combination. Sat ph...have one, carry it always. first aide kit....carry one carry a "survival rifle", it's a combo.....210, and 22mag ( 2 barrels ) folding 2 piece rifle, really small. space blankets,light weight tent,water,cig lighter,flares etc etc........carry, but intend to put together a more comprehensive pack.....thanks for your extra tips Have actually received a mail from interested member here to maybe join in.........that'd be great. And yes.....as you said, be able to park up for ?? days, if weather comes in. We've planned 5....6 weeks, that should be perfect time span. One concern.....but small, wife is the camera operator, and she sits RHS.......coast is LHS. ( spoze she could poke the camera out on a selfie stick )...or...fly west to east ??

    He lied, that party lied...bla bla bla............Sorry, the lot of em lie. Generally........they take up the political baton to achieve ??? shortly thereafter, it's all about themselves, it grooms their egoes, it funds a great lifestyle, hrs are rough at times......but hey. Corner a pollie on his own, with hard irrefutable facts he and his party are so so wrong on a particulay point.....the guy will turn to mush, infact he will run. Same guy with colleague will stand together, and together they will defend the indefensible. Pollies, used car sales people......same DNA. ( answer......work your butt off, conceal everything you can, minimise tax, setup "trusts", keep out of the superanuation circus, buy house blocks, and sit on them for 10....20yrs, these alone, will fund you later, fund you real good. ) I'm long over canberra.
