So - would you prefer/recomend the self inflate? What of the K mart offering https://www.kmart.com.au/product/single-self-inflating-mattress-42498575/ worth a punt?😈

Hi Blue - Getting confused - Whats the diff between a pump up air matt and a self inflating sleeping mat?😈 https://www.kmart.com.au/product/single-self-inflating-mattress-42498575/

Hi Blue, Care to recomend any particular brands of sleeping bag & "self inflating mattresses" ?😈

Turbs me old mate - You send me a link with possibly thousands of references within (all Sates, Islands, even NZ) - There is no way I will plough through it, to help you make your mythical point - Narrow the reference😈

ADAHRS out again - same symptoms as before - worked perfectly on last flight, turn system on, screen comes up normally for about 30 seconds , red cross comes up, ADAHRS sensors failed.. This time did a "forced load" - ADAHRS back as if nothing had happened??????? Have written to Dynon/Horsham - won't hear back until Monday Any of the electronics "wiss kids" got any suggestions/answers😈

Yes, The Sonex Legacy is what I would call a 1+1 crew, that is, its really a single seater with a very intimate space for a second person. Being on the slight side of human shapes/weight, my wife & I fit okay. With full fuel and one up, I have about 60 -70 kg of usable weight (balance will also be a factor) and a very small baggage compartment.😈

Has a similar "look" to the Cloud-up 2 Pro https://www.naturexplore.com.au/products/naturehike-cloud-up-2-pro-tent

Great concept BUT the large smoky flame, in the video, would not go well if I wanted to use it in the tent "vestibule"😈

Dimensions; 2.9 x 1.3 x 1.05 - not sure if this is external (inc flysheet) or internal. Either way I am 1.7 (without heels🤣) so should fit with plenty of room to spare for other "stuff"😈

To digress a little; Looking at the Naturehike Cloud-up Pro 2 man tent - pops up quite a bit in reviews (all good). A but vague on weight however about 1.8 kg and 4000 mm rain resistant. Thinking of buying their sleeping mat . 54 kg & bag .54 kg Total 2.88kg 😈

I have no stake in this debate but object to the misuse of the word FACT in the above statement. A Coroner's Findings may containe many facts & opinions but in the end, the report is an opinion derived from the Coroners understanding of the facts & opinions submitted ie not a fact in itself. If a Coroners Findings were fact, they could not be legitimately challenged. Coroners Findings are often challenged - sometimes there is error, sometimes untrooth and other times lack of evidence 😈

My problem??? You jest. Your problem, friend, is introducing, 1. the unlikly jurisdiction of a State and 2. the following that up with a vague statement to do with use of property, when this thread is about the air above😈

So the Jetboil uses a compressed gas & the Trangia flammable liquid. Are there any safety considerations in taking these to 10,000ft?😈

Some very attractive sounding fly-ins coming up. In at least one case, considering 3-4 nights away . Once at an event can probably rely on sufficient food being available but what of the camping on way & back? I like to make a nice cup of tea/coffee as the mood takes me, so just wondering what are peoples thoughts about carrying a small lightweight camping stove? Gas Liquid Neither 😈

Aviation is a Federal matter. I doubt that State law, has jurisdiction at an "level" when it comes to air navigation & the authority of the PIC . Australian Air law (CASA) is a combination of Federal and International air law, with a strong trend towards International, for the simple very common sense aim, of standardisation, to facilitate flights between countries.😈

Already covered those in earlier post. Just making the point, no private owner can own/control the airspace above their property😈

Airspace above your property is owned by the landholder, and it can be bought and sold, and property developers are right onto this aspect. With the exception of Take off & Landing (including go round low pass), pilots endorsed in Low Level Flight, we are allowed to descend to 500 ft above the terrain, 1000 ft above built up areas. As I understand it this is THE LAW - private airfield owners would have to overturn this, to enable charging for access to the airspace above.😈

As PIC you make the decision. Back when I trained for my PPL the communication rules were fairly proscribed. Things have changed, as they always will, and now we have virtually no communication system at all - its all up to the PIC to decide when & what to communicate (I amy be ovestating this a little, to make a point). I friend of mine died just a month or so back, when two very experienced pilots did not to communicate (they also died). Perhaps if they monitored The Oaks frequency and or made a call or two, no one would have died that day. I don't fly over hundreds of airfields, if I did I may be a little less enthusiastic about making the calls I do, who knows? For now I feel I am doing my bit to try and keep myself safe and those other pilots out there, who may not have made a call (cause they don't have to). Here is an excellent example of what should happen, from this Forum, Landing Fees, KRviator; "............................ when I went to Broken Hill. "Dubbo Traffic Rex 6866 a Saab Taxiing for Broken Hill runway 05" "Rex 6866 and Dubbo Traffic Alpha Bravo Charlie an RV 30 miles west maintaining 9,500 overhead time 20" "Alpha Bravo Charlie, Rex 6866 we'll maintain 8,000 until we've confirmed we're past you" "Rex 6866 much appreciated sir" Shortly afterwards "Alpha Bravo Charlie, Rex 6866 visual, your 11 o'clock low, 1 mile and we'll start our climb to the flight levels soon as we're past" "Rex 6866, Alpha Bravo Charlie, copy sir, thank you" 😈

Wow! they went out with a bang😈

"And they don't "only charge for landings" - I've been charged for overflying airports at 9,500' - verified by ADS-B - because I put "YGLA" on the flightplan as a turnpoint instead of the aid and made a deconfliction call with a departing RPT on CTAF." I hope you have not paid. Its the PICs prerogative to set whatever flight plan meets his/her cross country needs, subject to airspace classifications and military activity. YGLA circuit height is 1059 ft, overfly 1559 ft . I don't think you can be charged for entering the circuit (without landing), let alone an overfly of any altitude, let alone 9500 ft "...deconfliction call with a departing RPT on CTAF." Care to expand on this statement? .😈
