Hey guys, so my kit is finally getting towards the pointy end and I am getting ready to ship the aircraft to Albion park airport to finish of the final touches such as putting the wings on ect. So I was wondering if anyone knew of anyone willing to rent some hangar space to me for a short period of time, I am hoping no more then 2 weeks but worst case scenario 4 weeks. More then happy to pay what ever the going rate these days. It's only a small 2 seat high wing aircraft. Thank you ! ☺

Ah fantastic I'll check it out thanks mate !!

A that sounds fantastic mate !, I'll be sure to give the school a ring tomorrow ! And hopefully organise some training ! Thank you !

Thank You !, have you flown with these guys ?, do you know what they charge an hour because I can't seem to find a price list on the website

Hi Guys I am looking for any recomendations for anyone who can train and give me a floating hull endorsement, whether it be RA-Aus or GA I am not bothered. Thank You :)

Hi just wondering if anyone has decided to use the electric carby heat on the 912 ? if so what does it perform like ? Cheers !

Thanks for your feed back, it's very much appreciated. Do you find the brakes to be sufficient to hold the aircraft on full power ?

Hi Guys just wondering what your opinions are on the black max brakes, i am looking at purchasing the bx1320 kit for a seaplane, what would you think the sealing would be like on the bearings as I am concerned about seizing of the wheel due to corrosion from salt water. Also what is the holding force like for a rotax 912 100hp for full power engine runs Thank You your opinions are appreciated

Hi mate, are you referring to the aero adventure Buccaneer seaplane ?

Sorry for my ignorance but has the notam been removed about the restrictions of the main runway on the weekends?

I did my ra-Aus at Jaspers brush near Nowra in a jabiru which they don't have anymore. Yeah the conversion at Gostner at Camden for a full ppl. They have a vh rego jabiru j-160 which is handy. For the ppl test you have to fly into class c airspace so it was a Nav down to Canberra, so it was a few hours once you go there and back. Hard to say mate about the cost as I haven't added it up full but at a guess well under 5000. But that's including a constant speed and retractable endorsement that I got in that price. Talk to David there very helpful and a very good instructor. Here is his number if you're interested 0414 788 105

I can't recommend Gostner aviation out at Camden enough, I did my ra-Aus to ppl conversion there.

Thanks mate ! Really appreciate it ! :)

Hey guys when submitting a flight notification form on the airservices website, what code do you use for aircraft type ? (ICAO code for jabiru J-160) ? Thanks Guys

I have just started my first year as an apprentice aircraft engineer in GA, this year in tafe at padstow there is 7 first years in the class in which 4 of them just do gas turbine engines, so that leaves 3 of us to become Engine and Airframe engineers, there is also still talk if shutting padstow tafe down and moving the whole operation to tamworth, but there is only one other RTO approved by casa in NSW but they don't train the apprentices, from what I've heard they want to but there is something political in the way. So it seems as every year there is less & less apprentices training to become LAME's
