  1. Gday mate, where abouts are you and what are you flying?
  2. I've not looked at the forecasts on there, just the radar. Not sure what the actual delay is, just i'm aware that there is one, and also the fact that the BOM only displays 10min intervals
  3. would need an extra digit in the fuel cost display over here :) And hooooly crap, look at all that airspace!
  4. again, not much i dont think mate, as it only refreshes every half an hour or so i think. Bas may be able to provide some more input here. Just be aware, that this weather is not strictly real time. I would not rely on it to avoid weather. There will be a delay, I'm not sure how long. Even the ADS-B weather that they get in the US is delayed by up to 10 mins I've read.
  5. It will use data russ, but I can't imagine it being more then a few hundred Kb per cycle.
  6. Yes. The b2 bomber used an inertial navigation system before the advent of GPS,to great effect.
  7. My edumacated 'pinion is that he didn't maintain airspeed.. For whatever reason....fuel, carbs or lack thereof, failure of the turbine hot section, after burner failed etc....I'm sure we will learn in due course. Just joking now, don't flame me. Glad everyone got out safe.
  8. Gday Richard, how ya going mate. I'm a mackay lad myself, I've got a ch601 at palmyra dragway, and I also fly a savannah (rented) out of there. Where abouts at kuttabul is your strip? My parents live in Kuttabul and I grew up there. Welcome to the forum.

  10. Mate can you message me a pic of it, and how much you want? Hongie32 at gmail dot com
  11. Welcome mate. Those savannahs sure are everywhere. How do you like you MGL panel? They are made in SA if i'm not mistaken?
  12. Top idea rick. Lot less chance of snapping one of those... I might steal this for my 601 :)
  13. I think this is the one Kaz http://www.airgizmos.com/iPad-mini-Panel-Dock_p_51.html
  14. Could be.. they seem to be simply copies nowadays... and making oddball sizes that still bolt up to a dynafocal mount. Like a o-409. http://www.eci.aero/pages/engine_all.aspx#EngineSpecs I do seem to remember reading about superior and lyc. having a licensing agreement in the eighties and a courtcase surrounding it... anywho... back on topic... sorry lol
  15. If IP is an issue, it will be for the other clone engines. Superior, Titan, ECI etc all make exact clones of lycomings. I'm not sure the legalities of it, but they have been doing it (successfully) for years.
  16. I sincerely hope that we will have a viable Australian built motor available :) and I'm a jab '"hater" so called!
  17. I think I have a few somewhere... Must have a look:)
  18. Possible bad ground plane? I'm not a brain on radio's, send Kyle communications a message on here he is the radio man. Welcome to the site. Where abouts are you based mate?
