    I searched around on the web for a while looking for lycoming and continental engines ambient operating temp limits to compare, but came up empty handed. All that is usually mentioned in the bulletins and manuals I found is that the oil must be suitable for the ambient temperature, and the mixture adjusted in such a way as to make the engine run cooler (ie, richer not leaner) It would be interesting to see a correlation of failure vs. ambient air temp on failed engines. I do realise that the ambient temp on the ground is different than in the air, but not all that different at pattern height. The only conclusion i can come to, (edit: without seeing a failure vs airtemp graph) is if you live in the northern half of Australia, or indeed most of Australia, don't operate a jab after 8am or before 6pm. Any LAMEs or l2-l4s want to comment?

    3g is cellular.. If it has 3g onboard it also has a GPS reciever, although you do not need to use 3g, and you dont need a SIM card installed

    Good it was discovered on the ground motz. I Would really like to see jabiru offer a rotax from factory, and i would love to see them continue on manufacturing airframes, especially as the are an Australian company.

    when you are flying and you press your PTT, do you hear the sidetone in your headset?

    you would be shot for doing that here in the land of the bubblewrapped masses.. I for one believe that if you want to fly (or ride, or drive, or whatever your chosen hobby is) like you mean it, and its not going to hurt anyone but you, go for it

    Does anyone know anything about the ch701 for sale on the RaAus Classifieds Site? I have sent emails to the owner but have had no reply yet. Its listed as having retractable slats, and JG talks about one on his blog which seems to be the same one. Any positives or negatives i'd be happy to hear them.

    would it be that much different to a half empty jerry can in the sun, or even a half empty fuel tank?

    any more positions going?! :P I too have wondered this.. My job as a Fitter/mechanic would be benefited by my having a plane to transport myself to remote locations to work.

  19. Hongie

    Yep c27 is the NATO designation of the g222

    would they be called a fab jab?
  23. Hongie
    I could find this out but I'm tired just did night shift. Is Jamestown ctaf? Just confused as its said the p51 was asking for clearance, whereas the jab basically was basically making a ctaf taxi/entering call. Maybe I'm reading this wrong, as I said, nightshift blues.
