    Being 19 and your the owner builder and any prop change won't need a MARAP. If you change prop just record the weight of what you take off and put on. The percentage weight change shouldn't require another w&b.

    Solo; meets the home sick angle description. On tarmac for takeoff you need the right amount of rudder in early or else you will be over to the right and on the grass in no time.

    Don’t understand why Lee U would be attending any actual post mortem examination. Provide opinion on injury, marks and the report should be enough.

    Yes, under pax seat. I’m travelling so can’t send image.

    I should have added that it is how I determine the amount of adjustment to get the target rpm S&L Wide open throttle. So I start with a pitch and then adjust. Usually takes three processes. I have found the laser is the way to go for this. To get pitch equal each prop is a method of tightening the prop hob bolts in a certain sequence that you learn after a number of torque sessions and with observation to get the dot on the spot for each blade.

    Yes; just asking measurement from blade (top) to the dot on floor. To make one side of a triangle, I then calculate as a right angle to get an approximate pitch angle. (Nynja is about 1220mm)

    To reduce any possibility of CO and other fumes entering the cabin via the open tubes that the engine mount is attached to I have plugged both tubes with nylon caps.

    Looks good Marty, I’m not sure about the 0.1 degree measurement as I’d expect the distance to be 2 to 3 times the distance (5-6mm) You may have read my posts where I have been doing laser adjusting for about 5 years and is the way to do it. Keen to hear how you find it and learn the adjusting method to align rack blade on the dot. What is the distance between the blade and the dot on floor? About 1100mm?

    It's in RAAus incident summaries; so was RAA, Maybe a lighter model than the current model available.

    Where the about 100kgs were trimmed (if trimming of weight occurred) may possibly be a contributing factor; will be interested in the Coroners findings. Hope its all good and weight correct and just an early lighter version to the current model advertised.

    Aircraft dropped into Boonah on the way to New Caledonia.

    When I did my rudder trim bungee I settled for the KISS manual principle with a sort of jack screw setup. Teleflex cable and a threaded wheel that moves the inner cable in or out with the distance from one turn being the thread pitch. Works a treat for the required movement. Could have fitted a trim servo and switch but settled for the simple and practical manual turn method. The cables come in 1, 2 or 3 inch movement.

    First new GA8 Airvan is off to Noumea today built by GippsAero, and their first export after relaunching their business just over a year ago.

    Maybe ATSB in a way supports complaining that they don't investigate all aircraft accidents as such may in the future lead to more staff for them so they can broaden their investigation ability to include RAA aircraft.

    SAAA membership is $280 (245 for concession holders) Owner maintenance course to do owner maintenance is $550. Just to add info.
  16. Blueadventures
    That data if recoverable will greatly assist the investigation.

    Terrible and sad enough, to loose instructors adds to the sorrow as instructors are in short declining numbers.

    There is no description of the flap your moving. Maybe it’s pressed up hard in its track that then act as a break. You need to provide more info and image of what’s not working.
  20. Blueadventures
    Agree; eg cold seizure, Hot as well.
  21. Blueadventures
    Yes, that’s correct.

    This is how I did my fit-up back in 2014. I could not understand why they used to mount back to back and onto to the lower cowl. Brackets are made from 32 x 3mm flat aluminium bar. Nice that they supply brackets to mount oil cooler high under the propeller shaft / flange.

    Happy New Year for 2025 to all members and enjoy plenty of nice safe flights.

    Nice, Yep Wal is a Legend and has given me great advice over the years, I try to buy parts off him so hopefully he makes a bit out of the purchase.
  25. Blueadventures
    I get advice and parts from both Wal and also Bert Floods. Maybe email Wal. AVTEK 243 Myers Creek Road Healesville Vic 3777 Ph 0402 007 382 ABN 67 665 453 682 E mail : [email protected]
