Russ

That'll be the day! Seeing you two agree on anything? Doesn't seem likely does it Russ?

Here was me thinking you two were brothers, but Father and Son......... Jeez it doesn't bear thinking about

until I thought about coming home and realised it'd likely be GS 60......just faster than a car but with no mandatory corners.....

Mth or 2 back, me n her heading off somewhere, IAS 97........GPS ground speed 134kts...........i was beeming so hard, me face hurt.

Leave elctric pump on all the time helps prevent uneven tanks for some reson

Old chinese proverb........it's better to be down here, and wishing you were up there.....rather than up there, and wishing you was down here.

get some hrs up........then re engage instructor to skill you up with side slipping and serious Xwind landing teckneeks ( wrong spelling )

After market.......outcome ??? ( yet to hear ).......poss prob tho, it was purchased some time ago at beginning of build.

Forgot............another flyer recently fitted a brand spanker 3.3 engine, first real flight all's good, then oil spewing up windscreen, along side windows etc........shyte, managed a landing, engine now stuffed. Problem traced to oil hose to cooler split open near barb. Hoses supplied with cooler, cooler yank, hoses CHINESE stamped on them.

$10 hose, costs $$$$$ engine rebuild.

Was lead to believe that wet wing jabs flew fine, if one tank ran dry...............ol mate recently proved that wrong, fan stopped, RH tank guage showed zero, LH tank guage showed 1/3rd.

Had plenty of height, knew he did have fuel, so spiralled right to transfer fuel across, hit the go button, all's good.

So there you go...............( fly level on those long legs, or beware )

it's times like this ( weather ) you accumulate brownie points at home, and when that blue stuff arrives...........your gawn.

( mind you, plan B......moan and groan, get under her skin, invade her space etc, she'll be glad to see the back of you )

Both plans work for me.......

I hope I haven't upset him. The basic block is strong. I doubt there is an engine you can strip quicker. Nev

What ever you buy, and when that urge to go serious miles becomes you, the one standout example of others inflicted with the same desire to travel.......is a jabiru.

99.3% of our encounters are jabs.

Comfy / safe / 100+ kts / fuel mizers..( 4 cyl, 100kts...15LPH )

Service them right, control temps.........that's about it. ( 3 about to embark from my way, NQ,.....to top NT areas, and return ).....all jabs.

i understand the legal option to install a rotax into a 24 reg jab has also been closed. I may be corrected here.

I am however extremely perplexed as to why Jabiru would block release of the data.

The sledge hammer was to pain jab bundy, we, owners, were just sandflys in this mix.

What has surprised me tho.......is the lack of "fire" from bundy publically, it's been really weak.

Let's get the whole thing straight.............it's pure unadulterated "personal" .....

Rod......rubs folks ( some folks ).......stubborn, touchy, arrogant, to name a few. He had a dream, jab was born, it's grown to be a world leader for sure, ( just check the numbers )

Here we have casa, probably numerous times dialogued with jab over the yrs, and i bet it caused tensions. So we have departing casa official throwing a had grenade as he departs office.........the rest is history.

just my view.........

Oops.........was about to say, "it's rumours" then these email quotes popped up

Let's say the membership right now is the 10,000 often quoted.How many actually bother to vote, the last figure I saw being about 300?

And where is this mob which rules.? How many of this 10,000 are in your accused list?

 

The actual problem is that way too many people who do have a financial interest in the sport surviving and prospering are just too lazy, and couldn't care less what happens.

My money is on this scinareo..

I've been adding Shell 2T (locally available) to my AvGas and have just obtained a bottle of Moreys UCL.Why not use both, in small concentrations? Are the two compatible?

The " marine" oil sounds interesting ....will have to get onto me mate and ask.

it's only a matter of when................FORD......holden recovery vehicles.

Bull ol son.........issues / topic, that's ok. But mate.........not attack the man "personally". You won't get brownie points.......from any here.

forward.......aft

i heard somewhere ???.....that the axle centre was more aft on the 4 seaters. ( more weight there, extra 2 persons etc ) this may be incorrect, i don't know. Hence this question..........just what is the differences between the 2 models.

Ok.....zulu for all "controlled" areas, no problems there ( locals and internationals meeting )........but 97.8% of us, only putt putt out of that zone, so why zulu. ( 10hr + - ) know all that......can't see the need tho.

Camerons corner.........i'm not driven to lap around there, to engage in 2 or more time zones.......there's only 1, Qld time.

petro guy here, ( forum ) recommends castrol activ 2T. He's jab flyer as well.

mixing 2 stroke oil into avgas / mogas would have to increase rust protection in the short term . ( 20...30ml oil, per 20L fuel ) Many craft parked up for some weeks at a time, some based coastal areas.

i'm no turkey..........galah....maybe:cheezy grin:
