    For the tight ones I find I need to be on the numbers on base and keep there through turn onto final etc; comment not to be taken as any form of instruction.

    Money box the inlet to the fuel pump on engine is 8mm (5/16) outlet to carbs 6.3mm ( 1/4 ).

    Just asking if the green wire from the RecReg going to the battery negative; also has a connection to the airframe? Like in the schematic. On my build I has three negative ground posts that all grounds connect to so I'm not relying on the airframe connection to the battery negative for grounding circuit. Cheers.

    And the negative green connects to airframe. As well as battery negative? Agree heat sink / mount does not need to be grounded.

    Very nice; yep its a shame RAA not got their w&b back yet. Looking good and 99% done 45% to go. Cheers and thanks for update. PS my Nynja was an October first flight and was flying the first 25 hours off in some unpleasant air turbulence at the end of the test hours when I knew the aircraft.

    Hi Danny how is your build going? Would like to see a current image. The colour Yellow, White and Black looks nice. Cheers.

    1st option is like for like. Is it a Facet pump? If so buy from a good seller; could be poor knock copies out there. What is in it now?

    Maybe someone gets a commission for using Vero?
  9. Blueadventures
    Yep; that's what I did years ago. Could get it from Melbourne back then. Maybe Ian could get some into the shop at a fair price.

    From Life flight helicopter crew that attended "The Bundaberg-based LifeFlight aeromedical crew airlifted a man to hospital this afternoon, after the plane he was in crashed in the Gympie region. It’s believed the pilot was on a training flight exercise when the aircraft careered off the runway and landed in trees upside down at the end of the strip. The patient, aged in their 20s, was transported to Sunshine Coast University Hospital for further treatment." From my experience flying Gliders at Gympie the terrain is extremely undulating and very wind and low rolling ground rotor effecting landings.

    I have been involved in a discussion about syndicates owning an aircraft (for example a limit of 4 persons involved) How is ownership determined? Like; does a principal person become the primary owner and are the other syndicate persons an owner? I read in CASA documents that a registration holder needs to be nominated and identified. I see AOPA has information on aircraft syndicates. Any comments or pointing in the right direction is appreciated as I would like to get the inquiries started in the right direction. Thanks Mike Registration for partnerships Partnerships are not legal entities and do not meet the definition of an eligible person under CASR 47.010. Therefore, they cannot be registration holders or registered operators. The parties involved in a partnership must nominate one of their group to be the registration holder. The registration holder must then nominate the registered operator.

    Agree; has hit hard. Glad they are ok.

    This maybe why;- Trig specs - 5.6.9 GPS Position Input 22 September 2017 AQ The GPS position input is required to support ADS-B functionality. The GPS position input is an RS232 input to the transponder. The ADS-B features are optional – no GPS is required for normal Mode S Elementary Surveillance. Must be why they sell an external and connected GPS. If RAA get CTA access with RAAus endorsement I'll fit out with the external GPS and have it signed off every two years.
  14. Blueadventures
    Does your set up have an external GPS connected; Trig produce such a certified unit (less than $900AUD). It's required to like guarantee the location of your aircraft. The professional person who signed off setting your HEX code should be able to answer your questions.

    There is a Blue Gazelle for sale on face look market place with 3,901 hours and buyer must do their home work as wing spar tubes (Leading and aft) have a 4,000 hour life so check their hours in service if looking at that one.
  16. Blueadventures
    Thats right Ross; I saw and spoke to them at Oshkosh. Trig are nice kit.

    Update is that I have added a thread extension to my rudder bungee adjuster so I now have 28 mm adjustment travel set at 14mm each way. Will add adjustment of at least more than double the movement from my neutral setting. Hopefully fly this weekend.

    Slime seems to mainly work on tyres in constant revolution like cars, aircraft tyres only rotate on takeoff and landing and the slime will have them out of balance a bit I'm told.

    Agree only had good discussion with the staff and tech; they are on track to have things correct. If I was running the show I'd ask for a copy of log book entry for the most recent annual entry at rego renewal and condition report for change of ownership as that would allow one method of reviewing the aircrafts condition to some positive extent.

    Depending on how RAAus goes I might go the SAAA way; there is a Nynja with them already and have had lengthy positive discussions with one of their top maintenance people about what they can offer now and what's on the horizon maintenance qual wise and its sounds well organised. It's on my list to decide soon about becoming a member and doing some of their courses. I'll retain my RAAus membership either way.
  21. Blueadventures
    I don't know the answer but can the SAAA owner built aircraft fly CTA on class 5 medicals; I guess they are allowed. RAAus should get there sometime with RAA instructor signed off endorsements.
  22. Blueadventures
    The product I mentioned earlier in the thread works a friend has used it twice on his Nynja and he gets those big thorns on the grass strip at his club is SA. So it does work for tubed tyres and I'd expect tubeless as well. I also carry spare tubes and a repair kit but if have hubs apart will always fit a new tube. Mine are split half rims.

    Just don't want any 003 1/2 people (licensed to irritate)[007 licensed to kill]🤠😇🤪🎯

    Maybe worth the effort to become a member, depending on cost. Where I am we have 10 hangars and when for sale the new owner needs a 70% vote in favour by the other owners. It always been the rule and worked to date. Keeps out persons who are annoyance or disrespect-able to others. Sounds like the person who shared the info would be one reference.

    Cork for years on the Rotax cark bowls is too agricultural (rough and ready) for me, they were prone to breaking and falling apart. Best to change to the new black ones. I also carry two spares (in case myself or a flying mate needs one urgently; like on a flying tour.
