    Maybe the instructor is a low hours instructor and still improving his delivery.

    At the same airfield I have encountered (several times) other aircraft taxiing towards me on a runway and deciding to keep to their left. Arguing with me on the radio telling me I should keep to the left rather than to the right. I wonder what they were told about the rules of taxiing. Car drivers.

    I was speaking with a flying friend on Friday and he mentioned that he has a new set of hearing aides and his Bose 10 headsets are uncomfortable noise level wise. Are there any head set types that are better or easier to adjust for hearing aides? (I don't have hearing aides so don't know myself.) Any experiences and advice welcomed. I told my friend about this group and suggested he join it and ask the question. I'm just asking in advance for him. Regards Mike

    Which model number is the one you got and have any others been using them. Even an image would be great. Cheers.

    You should verify if the radio works; would not be hard and will assist the advert. I bought a handheld aircraft receiver from the site shop for $64.95 delivered. Will use it as the hangar radio to monitor traffic calls locally. If yours works someone may have a use for it. Cheers

    Price reduced to $1,200.

    I hope CASA's outcome mirrors what the pilot has already decided and done for his airmanship in the future.

    Agree, those onboard persons safety first; discard any commercial pressures; (you may pay a career price later) but yourself and those onboard have been looked after.

    In my area 95 RON has become quite scarce - most servos rationalising their offering to 91 or 98 RON. not in my town Mackay, 90% have 95 even the new ones ( I use Mobil locally and have choice of BP, Caltex, Shell.) After 7pm 5 cents off per litre.

    Like the info about MAP gauge min and max. I’ll mark mine for 95 grade.(I have a fixed pitch E-prop on 912 ULS)

    They are a good handheld; also if buying one at $350 pm Ian as he my be able to match the price for the two day sale and if so supports him.

    Everywhere is nice, we have our good days and plenty of bad days. Cheers.

    Had a nice fly around the block, first fly for a few weeks due to weather and other commitments. Great conditions. Also yesterday received the rear wing tube upgraded bracket so in the wet can fit the 600 kg wing upgrade and in a couple of weeks finish off Ben’s wings. In the parcel were a set of 17mm silicone coolant hoses and clamps for the Rotax 912 ULS that will be fitted in the neat future. IMG_3323.mov

    Thanks I'll pay soon; just getting it for in hangar. I still have the hand held icom I got from you a couple years back, working great. Cheers

    Nice Ian, I just ordered a scanner radio. Will either pay over phone or bsb; how do I get advice it is still in stock before I make payment. Cheers.

    WAG to me 'Wild Arse Guess'.
  17. Blueadventures
    Nice, thanks for additional info; I was becoming concerned a few posts back. Cheers and look forward to hearing the fix and solution.

    Not that one; this one was many years ago at a property on Brandy creek road, Cannon Valley; Ross Millard was with us then and I was assisting him with the dismantle of the aircraft as it hit tall trees on take off and landed nose first on the neighbouring property.

    Years ago when I assisted taking the wings off a Savannah Bingo that hit treetops on take-off and crashed had heaps of plastic 2 litre milk bottles (empty of course) in the wings in case of a water ditching.

    Have you checked in this? Lord Engine mounts Aircraft Spruce.pdf
  21. Blueadventures
    Maybe phone flexible Drive and ask if they have same compond grade in your sizing.
  22. Blueadventures
    Lord Mounts Part No. CB220113 from Flexible Drive are the same size and used over here; I am told by another Skyranger owner in Australia. However I purchase from the manufacturer.
  23. Blueadventures
    These are the Skyranger ones. 13 pound a set at Flylight Airsport UK. (Image apart is the ones I replaced on a Skyranger last year.)

    Hearing that an instructor is involved it's interesting that he has not provided advice and connection to an engine service person. Seems the instructor is leaving it up to the owner to sort the engine issue and is prepared to run a time expired engine with unknown maintenance history. A very good instructor would not do such in my experience as they would ensure the aircraft is airworthy and if asked provide advice on required work before operation of the aircraft.

    Best to phone RAA with aircraft details and they will advise if required for its category and send the documents and the form to be completed by an L2, annual requirement re engine condition report etc. (I have done a couple.)
