Well done Chris to get picked is a great achievement My photo was just a lucky shot :confused:

So who is going to fly in ?I for one will be giving it some thought.

Red Bull

There will be a DVD out soon watch the official site

I own and runa 28 hectare vineyard growing wine grapes red + white so drink up boys+gals or I may not be able to afford to fly. :confused:

Well that is a new view on things Ozzie, I'm not familiar with a Lazair any Chance of a pic of the plane?

The Pink Finger Geoff

Hi Ben, how do you get a copy of that Video?

Christhe only reference to stopping the motor in flight is on 3.04-3

Way to go pylon, Last Sunday a very good day good thermals did 200n miles on 9lt

Clem the book states "in training" I do not believe it is against the regsto stop the motor as I am not" In Training" Nor is it against the reg to practice stalls. Geoff

Yer Pete Cliff has a habit of doing that. If is a good day he makes me thermal back to the strip and land, and then goes crook that we have to start the motor to taxi back to the hanger

Hi Ross I am sorry to hear the news about your mother.My deepest sympathy to you and Don and the rest of the family.

Well I've been through theOps manualbook two times and the only reference to stopping the motor in flight is on 3.04-3[ Note Flight Training with the engine stopped may only be conduced with a CFI or their delegate in controlled situations in suitable flying conditions]Now to me this means "while training", so as I'm not training I can turn my plane into a glider any time I think it is safe to do so. I do hope that I am not breaking any regs? I also was a Gliding Instructor for 6 years.

Good one turtle

No Chris the motor in the jab will not windmill and you can not restart by air alone need the stater as the jab has to spin at 300 rpm for the to got spark not likeimpulse mags.The only prob with cooling is you need to re warm the motor again before applying full revs. And yes we have a motor glider reg RAA in our club.

? Geoff

I have not been able to find anything in the ops manual (dosn.t mean its not there) about shutting down the engine and going gliding. Has anyone any knowledge on this.

Try starting the 912 on one mag only, had the same trouble as you and this was the fix.

Pete Find some one with a old on car wheel balancer it has a flashing light they spin the wheel with a electric motor, can do any wheels

Had to put the sunnys on for that Drifter.

Machee 500, Yamy 250,Kawck 350 2wee,KL2504/st,KLX600 750 shaft,1100, Then the boys in Blue suggested I get wings, so I did, haven't been booked since.

I did a flight in the mig 15 in Rocky last year, seats were disabled had a very long briefing, but the outcome was unless you were 5 foot tall and under 50 kg25 yr old and fit which I'm not you might as well leave theparachute home. But Worth the $$$ any way

Hay Pete wot is the difference between J160 and J160C ??
