  1. G100UL high octane unleaded avgas G100UL.COM Find out more about GAMI's G100UL® high octane unleaded aviation gasoline. Website addresses the Cirrus Notification specially...
  2. Takeoff authority was not a problem.. just had to get the tail up early .. I generally did a 'launch off'.. hold it on the line and wind up the 'rubber band' and let it go.. judicious (well practiced) quick stick forward movement to pop the tail up immediately... wheels off in less than 200m .. My landing in Soni was at near to stall, (the really low wing suffer greatly from float if the speed was even a little too high) raise the nose until stall warning just started (it is mounted just behind my ear) plane is the at the right attitude to achieve the 'carrier' landing.. with the mains just above the tail wheel ..At that point you 'followed it to the deck.. hook the tail, mains on, power off, stick into the guts to Pin the steerable tailwheel... because Yes once down the tail was shielded by the turtledeck...and had no authority at all Did 150 hours after I learnt to fly it...with lots of landings .. never did a go around or ground loop (had a few of doosy's, but stuck all regardless) A mod on later builds was a raised tail (generally around 2") to assist in alleviating the shadowing.
  3. I was led to believe , that AS LONG as you did not leave AIRSIDE, you did not need an ASIC... Ie Land.. refuel.. leave (no toilet break etc.) was perfectly acceptable
  4. Correct size for a Standard built Sonerai IIL.. Come in two variations As mine square or Rounded to give a 'traditional' look.. I can assure you .. I did 150 hours in 6 months in it, and lack of authority in flight was never a problem. (Think I have mentioned before... PLEASE put a reference to what you are commenting on) Lyle
  5. But still no information if it didn't...sorta the whole point of it.. The chase plane ..if it was keeping up.. most certainly would have made a 'noise'🤦‍♂️ Look forward to more info after the second flight
  6. My little tail dragger
  7. But did it go Boom.... like is supposed to NOT do when it broke the barrier?
  8. I normally would not comment on Forum Politics but But No comment on the 'pretend' radial???? At least the chopper motor cane from a plane The radial will never come off the stand I would expect all Moderator to be fair and balanced.... and not let personalities play a part of their judgments
  9. You can switch back and forth between the Starlink roaming plan and fixed .. Roaming when out in the Van.. Back to Fixed when at Home... When roaming.. WiFi calling has phone coverage nearly everywhere..
  10. I understood 19-10 didn't have the single restriction?
  11. When I did my training in the LSA55.. the little white Jab was Invisible the bright Western Qld sky... EXCEPT for the Strobe on the tail... Could see that.. and once established identify the plane.. The marker lights are more for aesthetics (on boats🤡...) But a GOOD strobe on the tail is a personal mandatory
  12. All sorts of.....on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@foundandexplained/videos
  13. Makes me wonder 'What are they really looking for' Doing the 'search "no find, no fee" ' they are allowed to search without hindrance or questions... If it went down in the Indian Ocean the JOTA array in WA would have 'seen' it
  14. Just Curiosity of course.... Maybe our southern pilots have never had occasion to battle the northern extreme... would be only 'slightly' different to say Alice Springs in summer🤣
  15. I read the '2'00 as '3'00 which would be closer....🥺
  16. Watching 5th Season of Ice Airport Alaska ....and was wondering if any of the heavy pilots on here have had the "pleasure" of experiencing the airports there?
  17. Shown on Ch7 news .. 182 upside down Does anyone have more details Cairns post has it behind the paywall No Cookies | The Cairns Post WWW.CAIRNSPOST.COM.AU No Cookies | The Cairns Post
  18. When I bought Soni, it came with a 20l 'passenger' that was strapped in on the front seat whenever I was solo.... A jerry can with a quick connect outboard motor fitting in the lid (Extra 50% fuel..) electric pump under the seat to do this transfer to main tank
  19. My AUF Wings circa 2000
  20. The descriptor was used as a reference to How the 'media induced great unwashed' perceive ANYONE who flys a small plane (smaller than a 737??...)
  21. Seems journalistic tendencies extend beyond planes.... How many times have we heard AR-15–style rifle.. regardless of fit, form, or function of the actual device
  22. Now all they need to do is employ Wagners to build it and it should be ready in 18 months ( Wellcamp...)🤣
  23. A few years ago Ford tried to void warranty if you did not use Genuine Ford filters until it was shown the 'genuine' were just repackage Commercially available filters.. Not made specially for Ford as claimed. Manufacturer 'specifications' have MORE to do with Marketing and Brand Share than actual Hard and Fast specification requirements. In this case..(and most others) as long as you are buy from a reputable supplier (ie not Online internet/facebook) the product will match or exceed anything with a pretty label stuck on it by a manufacturer.
  24. I bought a 20ml tube for my (computer repair) shop use 15 years ago..... probably used 1/10th maybe... Never use what the manufacturers supply, preferring to use my own..
