  1. Isn't it commercial opps only ?
  2. Buy way , any bodys welcome to fly in , camp , or visit any time . Good safe runways Pm for details Mike .
  3. True Story : 1993 ide just pick up a new XR6 from ford , and driving it home for the first time , i naturally floored it to see what the note of exhaust sounded like , next thing , flashing blue lights , pulled over , i sat there silent and sweating , and the officer piped up and said ; no worries , just wanted a closer look at those new headlights ! Mike .
  4. Forget about resonance freq. Would it be simpler to weigh the tank , measure the deflection , like the ones used on the "jab fuselage" when doing strain calculations ( or whats it called) thats hooked to a computer ?
  5. Ue yea , I've got my theory.! Don't worry rod ,
  6. Plane driver , yea thats the first one taken over Temora 2011 nat fly , you can see the different turret . The sport pilot mag took the photo for front cover , but was not used due to my lack of advert $$
  7. A close friend of Rods was killed & his passenger 1997 i think , in a LSA 55- At south port air strip ,again CFIT.
  8. I i don't agree Alf . Your entitled to your opinion , i think i speak for most when i say , we've heard it all before and its like that stuck record , just keeps playing the same old line , And as far as cars go , or don't , I drive Å land-rover .
  9. What makes you think he's on this forum ?
  10. The way the rules are evolving it'll be standard equipment soon ! I prefer forward mounted cannons!

  12. DRUIDVALE in the flinders ranges Wilpena pound top left We've been thinking-about-cabins For holiday fly ins , walking distance to camp , Not many facilities , but for those who want piece and quiet . Lots of air traffic fly through the flinders ranges on there cross country epics .
  13. Yep, a good laugh !
  14. E excuse my ignorance , whats a talk penetrations ? Sounds like what happens in the bedroom ?
  15. Yes , the header tank on jabs is full if its been installed properly , vent outlet at the top . Q. How do you seal the tank in the cockpit ? Seems to me that if fuel comes out on roll over , how the hell did you get past the inspection ? Just asking . Mike .
  16. I think his cousin has a book shop : FU- kin - books
  17. I've been discussing this at home and what if ; a strain type of sensor were placed at the bottom of the tank ( out side) that measured the deflection of the tank and could be calibrated to read the weight of the fuel ? Any thoughts ? I would imagine there could be a small section of the tank that deflected slightly . Would work in 1 g ok , would need an accelerometer to adjust for Turbulence ect . These days you can get sensors for just about any thing .
  18. 10/10 for thinking . I was thinking sonar , which is sound , With today's sensor hardware , ,software, that could be worth a look . ?
  19. You could have the filer cap inboard and let the tire down every time you filled or dipped !
  20. There's been a few planes park themselves on the beach there !
  21. Just been checking e bay $ 100 from Dandenong vic looks good ,billet ally .
  22. T that carn't happen on jab wing tanks , the vent from the header vents into the wing tank , then the wing tank vents to out side , except if tanks are brimmed or uneven ground
  23. It it the fact their broke , that causes stress , they smoke to ease the stress
  24. Won't work , dihedral creates air pocket air pockets
  25. You could make something similar to the jab fuel drain and cover it with those fairings I don't think it would be that hard for jabiru to work it out . Unless 6" is the absolute min thickness the probe will work .
