  1. At only 132h my genuine Rotax radiator has sprung a small leak. I’m curious to know if anyone has had experience with the aftermarket alternatives that sell online for around AUD$90, or other options?
  2. 20L/h….That’s remarkable. Thanks for the insights Nevan. Safe flight.
  3. Aircam VH-ZEK came across from Perth to attend….A long way to fly at 75kts
  4. Old Station camp RANS birds flocking together in YGLA Returning to YKCY
  5. Why would anyone want to buy an engine that won’t last long 🤔
  6. In my case, it’s access to strips in interesting locations. I associate socially with a bunch of Vans RV owners….3 x RV10, 1 each RV14a, RV8, RV9a and a RV12. When the call went out recently for a jaunt to Orchid Beach on Fraser Island for lunch, only one thought the strip was acceptable….and he took his second aircraft, the red RANS S-21 in the background. 😊
  7. I upgraded a DC H10-13.4 a few years back. It works OK but not as well as my wife’s Lightspeed. My two primary reservations are: It’s still got the David Clamps/Cramps comfort level and it’s a heavy consumer of 9v batteries. But it was a LOT less expensive than a Bose or Lightspeed.
  8. It’s been suggested in the media that The Member for Kennedy may be a king maker in the coming weeks…..He loves an “issue”…..Does anyone here live in Kennedy?
  9. In defence of the Trangia, it comes replete with 2 small saucepans and a mini frypan. Metho is carried in an aluminium water bottle. Complete the kit of essentials with a (pod version) Minipresso and a couple of 200ml UHT milk tetra packs and the world becomes a beautiful place.
  10. I had plans to attend and my S-20 Raven was booked in as a static exhibit….But weather conspired against me. Hoping now that the weather is kind for my plans to attend OZSTOL in Luskintyre in just over a week. There’s 5 or 6 days of wet weather forecast along the track south between now and then.
