    Your not in the real world. Your next new neighbour could be nutters (like happen in Queensland when a helpful neighbour and police were shoot dead in an ambush situation) Police are sworn in, trained and armed and do their best. In the very very rare situation that an officer did the wrong thing they are investigated and they also wear body worn cameras that assist in investigations. I reckon they don't get enough of the grubs. Its a big decision to shoot and creates post incident trauma, I believe many would rather have not pulled the trigger; however they step up and do the task at hand. There are many grubs that attach and assault Ambos, paramedics, nurses and doctors that need sorting as well.

    Thankyou Brendanai👏

    I read into ians request is for someone to write a nice letter to the magazine editor saying how good this site is at promoting safe aviation and fostering aviation discussions. Could you edit this post and send into the editor of Sport Pilot.
  4. Blueadventures
    I give the editor double thumbs up; its produced on time, promotes aviation and provides content directed at members. I'll provide an article about my upgrade for the Nynja models and its also available for the Swift variants; when I have completed the full process as yet to do a w&b and fly, etc for consideration of inclusion some time.

    Finished the installation of the 600kg upgrade parts yesterday. Set the flap and aileron adjustments. Having a break today then do a recheck and ask a mate to do a double preflight check over. Then perform a new weight and balance. Next fill the tanks and take her up. Need the rain to back off for a short period; looks like the rain has set in for at least another week (it is our wet cyclone season this time of year).

    Got mine today; looks to have some good reads. Liked the Orion Cub article Empty weight is a bit more than J230 but useable for the 600 category; 760 will be better for it. Kit price listed is ok.

    Also get some thin elastic and wear it as a cap:) (Just a mate to mate comment. Cheers)

    I have seen this hose used for Rotax 912 oil lines. Owners said no issues and replaced with same again. An experienced Rotax and aircraft service person used it.

    What's the update, next build task?

    The plastic sheet insert takes the looseness out in that first forward panel of the skin. Got the 0.8mm sheet from office works.
  14. Blueadventures
    Yep, they do a good job, it was gone next day, somewhere else in the hangar. Was not a killer if bitten so a hangar pet. Got one wing finished today. Just need a suitable time next few days to put back on and get the other wing off. Added an update of plastic sheet to fill out the inner section where we get a wrinkle effect, worked well. Fitted new fuel contents tube while had things apart.

    You know the drill, or should. Any concerns about forum users report to admin.
  16. Blueadventures
    Please ignore Skippy's recent post as he often attacks peoples posts. The forum users I am sure in the majority will assist with answers to your question and it is a valid concern. I hope the matter is resolved to yours and your neighbours satisfactions.

    I guarantee that in the Mackay Regional Council area from a private strip you will if complaints are made. One of the strips I mentioned is 100% private and has conditions applied due to complaints. Its location is nowhere near the closeness described in this post. Being 211 meters from end of runway and path directly over a house in not a good situation. I hope the matter can be sorted in the interests of both property owners. I know that at 211 meters from my home airfield I am about 30 meter above ground level. My comments are meant to be helpful. Would be good if willing to see an image of the location in question to see if a slight safe deviation in late final can sort the matter. Image of my home strip for example.

    All good. Where I fly from we adopt fly neighbourly and don't fly over close by houses, we achieve this by a slight turn. and two other strips do similar in my area. All strips have undergone council approvals.
  19. Blueadventures
    Council outcome may place restrictions on aircraft movements at his property eg hours of operation and maybe restrict to only his aircraft. That is what has occurred in the past with the local council. As touched on above to fly neighbourly a pilot flying off their own property should engage with the close by affected properties before the first use of the airstrip.

    about 0.4mm

    Flylight in UK will sell a full 17mm Silicone hose kit with clamps for about $170. Do you still need 200mm of 17mm hose. I could spare that in 4ply 17mm id silicone as I bought an extra meter of the 17mm hose.

    A useful reference to maintenance is on page 91 of the Sport Pilot issue 103. I keep a copy in my maintenance folder saves a lot of time-wasting arguments with knowitalls.
  23. Blueadventures
    Skip; I think you go overboard picking peoples posts apart, specifically my resent one. In my post I generalised that he would be purging the new install of engine, oil cooler and hoses between including the oil can. Therefore 100% relevant to his post considering his build.
  24. Blueadventures
    You'll likely do first change at 25 hours and the purge will use a little oil (I'd don't reuse what is collected during purge. Therefore you will need at least 9 litres first fill, 25 hours change and stock on hand for next 50 hourly. Over to you.

    ELAAA tried some years back but did not get over the line / approved by CASA.
