  1. Flat / punctured tyre out the back of woop woop. Consider the situation, you are miles from home, she's as flat as.......... This did happen to me yrs back, and it was a MAJOR problem. I suggest you all put in place your "plan" to remedy the situation. "My" situation was a list of "murphy law" components no suitable ???? to raise, and then chockup the plane ONCE that was achieved, remove the rim Ok...........now try breaking the tyre/rim bead....near on impossible. The "spare" tube was aged cracking, as it had been folded up for so long. Anyway, after some hrs i was now back in the air heading home vowing to never again to get caught out. I now carry a can of that gooey presurised stuff, several types avail, yet to use one, so if someone out there has a tried and proven "fix"............do tell
  2. Previously I,ve used a 2 pack silicon, made by 3m, works a treat. Will chase up the tubes and get that info
  3. That,s right, round gauge with elec wires attached. One each wing root. Anyway, sourced the prob, a gentle tap on the underside of the wing root....bingo the gauge needle moves to the correct position......FULL, as I knew it was . So "sticky" needle it was.
  4. ok, 1st query... Both wing tanks are full, to the top......left sight gauge reads full, but right sight gauge reads about half a tank, so what,s the go BTW.....I like this 160 very much, 95+ kts, 15 L per hr....I,m happy
  5. Ok.....speaking with the lads at ozrunways , please contact them with your glitches on this new iso7 thingo, the more feedback the better, their desire to again get this a top must have app is very apparent...........excellent help/service.
  6. Update your iPad to the just released iPad app, ( ios7 ) ."..I think that,s the number..."...then your ozrunways is stuffed. rang apple all I got was a sorry, but that,s not their problem, reversing the app ( deleting it, back to previous ) not possible.....so now I,m stuffed
  7. After 35 plus yrs owning flying gyros, it's now time to cross to the dark side. I'm now a F /Winger The jab 160 arrives next week, really looking forward to this next chapter. So.........i,m opologising in advance here, as i'll be seeking your wealth of knowledge from time to time as i settle in. Craft was sourced from Mildura area, done 300+ hrs, am told it's a ripper.
  8. Scrap ASIC cards for a starter, 2ndly......have "local" get togethers, chaired by RAA, keeping folks abreast of matters, listening to folks etc, love a good sausage sizzle. 2 per yr each state....ie, NQ...then SQ area, same for every state, cost to Raa would be bugger all. I,ll get back down me burrow now.....
  9. 33761...I voted for some dude called millard, he,s ok, from what I,m hearing.
  10. My attached form, just said to write member number on back of envelope, have done that and posted it back, so now I,m .......invalid....because I did not write this other bit ???
  11. Doug.......that,s exactly word for word, the same as my buyer mailed me, also, same name....... So there you go....it,s a SCAM
  12. Numerous times over the yrs, i have given my bank details to a "total stranger" to enable this EFT payment system to me.........and have also payed many other folks doing the exact same thing ( they've given their bank details to me )...........just last week i deposited several thousand $$ to a stranger to purchase this J160, he and previous "strangers" all felt Ok, but this time........it just felt suss. Begs the question...........what is a better way of transferring funds to me..........or to them, without opening up your private details. ( bank )........this EFT method is flawed.
  13. I advertized my unwanted prop ( ivo inflite adj ) in the RAA web site. Week or 2 later i get a texted message from chap wanting to buy it........great, he then wants to prepay me via EFT, and get his "agent" to pick it up. He therefore wants my "bank details" to do this EFT to me.........something just felt suss, it just did, his grammar was ???........so at the risk of losing the sale, i texted him back, inpart saying .....call me, and i will set up another way of him paying me................heard nothing since. Just letting folks know here, that just maybe we have a scammer trolling about our sport, seeking victims. Then again........i could have got this all wrong.....let's see
  14. I,m onto it......thanks...russ
  15. Talk about quick.....paypal have got my refund back already.
  16. Opened a "dispute" via paypal, .....goods not received.....refund should follow. If aero shop can,t supply, or even reply to a mail.........I,m done with them.
  17. Was chasing a Mr funnel from them ( large ).....$50 something $$ plus postage.........( last time )
  18. Having problems getting my purchase, paypal confirmed my payment was credited to them 3 weeks back, a recent followup mail from me to them has been ignored, any one else had bad service from this retailer ?? ( it's my 2nd time delayed supply )
  19. greg......don,t pay attention to graeme........ingham, cousins marry cousins etc etc.......and some of em really have 2 heads, and they rekin the rest of us are "strange" ( and they do have "webbed" feet )

  24. chap has 160 for sale west of rocky, if.............i decide to buy it, then planned on qantas to rocky, taxi to strip nearby, meet 160 owner there, both then fly back west, i drop him off, then i head back north..........that's my thinkings
