  1. What number of hours did they what you to get to? Another 5 or more? Maybe someone at Clifton might have time to fly the hours off for you; maybe even relocate there for a period. The nice flying weather is starting now so the air will be best.
  2. From your image face plane towards the big door. Have prop line just forward of the drain grate line. Chock the wheels good, maybe even level up the lower main wheel. Add a double securing with rope or a strap to a secure point behind the plane so it does not travel forward when engine running. This way you won't pick up any stones or rocks.
  3. No harm in a windsock for spray drift indication, like people have Lighthouses in their front yard and no ship movement there; also windmills and not pumping from bores. Just erect one and have a couple of kites on the wall in your shed. The wind sock will assist in launching the kites.
  4. Also don't go to the movies there wearing a 'T' shirt saying "My name is Dillinger" 🎯
  5. They missed a bit of detail, bit like the current RAAus matter. Things happen, shouldn't but do. Very lucky the 300 didn't have a flight control failure and plough into the spectators.
  6. Seems flight routes and LZ's were high on the contributing factors list considering their low and regular sorties.
  7. Did you change out your engine to a rotax? Post an image of the Sav S. Cheers.
  8. Could be connection / hookup wire between indoor and outdoor ac unit. What I use is 4 core with white as 4th for control signal. Sky blue outer so you know it’s air con not house LV.
  9. Nice they are still around. Dennis dropped in when in Mackay recently I assisted him with the purchase of the big boat he bought up here years ago. your attachment won't open. Cheers
  10. I had a visit from a friend who lives in Maryborough, Queensland and he has Chris Conroys single seat and two west aircraft at his place in a container so they are both still intact which is good news.
  11. And see a crocs tonsils🐊
  12. Not only RAA; SAAA will also recognise and agree with the TAFE course and its recognition as AME.
  13. Agree, the instructor deemed him competent for XC. Yes some schools RAA and GA take much, much longer and we hear stories of stretching out the training to make more money from the student, (don't know could be true; my personal experience is that some instructors stay on the controls for more than 50% of time that you as the student are not learning / gaining experience; I'm talking that they are staying on in control not demonstrating what they want you to do; just showing how good they are, in my opinion. I don't know the instructor but seems he was very experienced and good. Maybe made a slight hours required error or incorrect interpretation of experience required. Hope the investigators look into his images and sms messages to gain what ever info about other power aircraft experience he had performed, as any such would have assisted in his transition ability.
  14. I've got some 4 colour wires in lovely sky blue insulation. Looks very pretty on my split system A/C hookups🙃
  15. So which colour is active in the ditty?
  16. This is the brand I have two of. If on my own just delete this way and storage. They fold before rolling up and fit the orange bag. Very comfortable.
  17. Thats like mine; and as I said buy them when on special can be 50 to 70% off.
  18. Is that the one with and air conditioner and heater?
  19. Probably too bulky, and like onetrack says maybe not lasting quality.
  20. Got them at Annaconda, when on special price the duck down bags are a good price, half of normal. Get the length size to suit. We have two different sizes and also as they are a good quality sleeping bag I get the liner so you just wash the liner after a trip.
  21. I have these self inflating mattresses, they have a layer of foam that insulates against the ground cold coming up through the night. The typical air mattress will have the cold air coming up through the night. The self inflating ones are about 1 kg each and are great. I also have two of the blue yoga type foam mats about 20mm thick that are rolled up and stuffed betwwen the lateral ends of my cargo bin behind the seat and the inside of the fuselage. The two off them are ok on their own as well. And have a small rectangular pillow as a must. Have tried backpack with cloths in as a pillow but pillow is a must, if soft like me🙃. Also a good duck down sleeping bag is a must for the cold. Cheers.
  22. Agree, mine are 3 person for when wife is along on the trip. Be doing more camping rather than a mix of camping and cabin now that my plane is going up to 600kg MTOW.
  23. I found a Rhinoceros Bettle in my boat deck shoe once. My son collected them and had some in his room. One got out and found its way into my deck shoe that I wore at work. I slipped my foot in, beetle clamped onto my big toe. Pulled foot out and could not shake the beetle off; they can hang on. Got it off my toe and all good to go. It's a now a family story that brings plenty of laughs when mentioned.
  24. Footware outside is thongs or crocs. Joggers and socks are inside tent.
  25. Thats the better design. Keep dryer in and out. As I mentioned I put my chair and footware under the outside covered part. Nothing more unpleasant than a wet chair in the cooler mornings. By that one.
