    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.

    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.

    Agree; eg cold seizure, Hot as well.
  14. 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.

    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.
  18. 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]

    A good bright landing light is a must fit and use (in my opinion and experience), plus its good for taxi just on dawn to light up ground in front while taxing to the runup area. Best for safety to fit one or two landing lights for this reason. (Recent collision at Oaks is an example where maybe a bright landing light may have changed things. I'm not saying either aircraft did not have a landing light lit. Just that they will enhance your visibility in a variety of sky conditions and cloud backgrounds.) I have an Aveo landing light on mine for these reasons. Have a look at some local airfields were RAA aircraft land and see what they have and how they look.) Your choice and Cheers.

    Aircraft Spruce in Melbourne will have it.

    Foxbats can be $240k and $120k second hand, info from Foxbat about 3 weeks ago. I forget the price of a new Jab 230 but over $150k from memory. Factory built Nynja is about $135k (includes freight and duty) Prices are getting up there.

    Should be a cold beer or two in there that you put in fridge and have when the jobs done. Cheers and nice to here its going up for those flying out your way. Hopefully I'll get over that way one day.

    Thanks mate, had been on the to do list for a long time; but inconvenient to remove for a few days so always had been put off until another time. Mainly being slack. Always had a lexan one but it got a crack in it. Glad it's done now. Merry Xmas and enjoy the festive season. Cheers.

    Been doing a bit of mod to the Nynja over Christmas while the rain is on and while helping Ben with his wing tanks and 600 kg upgrade. Just increased the lower cowl lip to create a low pressure area to assist cooling air flow. For a few years had a 30mm lip in lexan and now made a permanent 46mm lip with epoxy and mat. The 30mm was a good improvement in keeping temps down at maximum rpm. (Don't fly max rpm cruise often but will be good for long continuous climbs.) See how this goes and can always trim back to 30mm it needed.

    Only possible if birds were ducks on opening day of the hunting season🙃
