I share a hanger with a nice one in bathurst NSW and I'm sure it's for sale, if anyone is interested in them I could pass on the contact number of the owner

Hi Mark, not sure about the Sav fuel block, but if it is Aluminium with copper washers the electrolysis factor is way high...remember copper clamps on Alu overheads... Just looks that way.. Matt

HiIm the sales pitch guy, just to let you know the cost of a Sparviero has increased since 24-7801 was purchased, henced the increase on new aircraft, also if you would like to know how we work out the final cost of your aircraft arriving and ready to fly just ring me 07 54913977.

This aircraft is carbon fiber composite and to see how it has handled the out side conditions at Caloundra is a credit to the build of the plane, also if you work it out this way - hanger cost $400 per Month =$4800 per year x 4 years = $19200

 

cost to repaint approximatley $4000, cost of covers $1000.

 

Lots of hours on air frame/engine, apparently you never ask the question at Natfly, it had 44 hours on both, now has 60.9, also to let you know we have done a 100hr service on 24-7801 on the return from Natfly.

 

As i have ownly flown a few aircraft, and only a newbe, it was good to fly with Geoffery as he put it through it paces, just to have a look at his log book was a privelege, I also have quite a few hours up on a Texan (also from Italy)

 

We have had a cockpit cover on the Sparviero which was gladly given to me by Geoff Larson from Emerald flying school. Geoff has ask a few times to put the Sparviero into his stable for training, but again we are consicious of running up the hours etc.

 

If you are interested in a trial flight ring me on the number above. See you for breakfast at Gatton weather permitting.

 

PS situation change will miss Gatton breakfast

Wow Aussie, member since 2009 and this is your first post... really getting into the rec flying forum I see... "This and that flying schools want this A/C" but none have taken it up...

Good luck, but the audience is limited and better machines show up daily in this market..

Who is SAA ?

I had a look over the Sparviero recently and sat in it.. yes it was very comfy and ticked a lot of boxes. The thing that annoyed me was the sales pitch - "demonstrator is $90K... expect a bit more for a new one due to the $ exchange" considering $90K is advertised (inc GST ex Brisbane). That to me means the demo was bought at $90K, flown around the place and now the dollar has slid, wants to sell at the same price with lots of hours on airframe/engine...

Annoyed me enough to look elsewhere...

I know... they always have a "get out" clause + options = $$...

Hongie, I wouldn't be happy with a composite under UV all day every day.. asking for trouble if you ask me. I never see gliders pegged down out in the open.

If the Brumby 600 (alloy airframe) was somewhat cheaper then that would be my option, if only to keep the $$ in Aus.... A lot of 30yo cessnas / pipers that have spent their life in the open.

[ATTACH=full]17569[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]17570[/ATTACH] these two aircraft are related the JAB has rum sticker on the tail. And the cessna is a flying smoke packet.

So if you want to go there in discussing issues, the discussion should really be, is too much silicon used?

Then maybe you should take it of from here as well.

Noticed it is for sale on another site...not advertised here?? Link

Good luck...might sell with those new tail colours...lol..

So the white X means - Jabirus with Tomo only????..lol

Same weekend of Childers Wings and Wheels apparently...

And David Hack at Toowoomba

You will need to pull it apart and check inside... my guess is probably a small micro switch that might be sourced from Jaycar or RS Components??

The answers are A, C, C, D, etc... just joking.

Have fun!..lol.., nearly all on the forum have done it... it is BASIC aeronautical knowledge so don't stress..

I did ccts (C172) with F111s when at Amberley. Obviously CTA, I was RH ccts and F111 was LH ccts. Difference mainly was I was doing standard ccts and the F111 was going up to Somerset (~25NM) to do an ILS each time...

Every cleared to land was "caution, wake turbulence".. Now I wish I got some pics.....

I'm pretty sure they could overtake me if they wanted...

This ones mine, I agree I don't use the flight computer much. I find the UTC clock handy and what time it is overseas before I try and call relatives. Eco-drive is good as well..

Deleted - mod,

Appears to be advertising as member also has link in signature...

POB Not required for VFR flights and you don't ask for clearance "inbound" at a reporting point for Class D.

Bankstown Tower, jabiru 7295, prospect, 1500, inbound, with India

maybe VH-EUM???

I have had a look at one at YCDR but not yet had a flight. It ticks most of the boxes for me, but hangerage at YCAB is scarce, and composites shouldn't be stored outside, so I haven't gone any further.

From the outside, build quality seems fairly similar with other composite LSAs but haven't seen it with the cowl off yet.

Head In The Clouds,On a PPL, you can fly any aircraft on which you are endorsed.

If you have enough money, you can always buy an endorsement on an A-380, as, apparently, several pilots ( not in Australia) have so done.

 

Don't confuse the limits on cost sharing on private flights with limitations on a PPL, two different animals.

 

Cheers,

If you have the coin, health, time and willingness then fill your boots...lol

Observation Frank, trees moving, ripples on the water, whitecaps, the wind in your face, that ballon flying by etc... reference the calibrated wind sock is indicating 10knts you now know (or at least are learning) what 10 kts looks and feels like for when there is no wind sock

Basics:- No limit on seats, not limit on MTOW I guess

Thought you didn't need an ASIC if you are stopping to refuel only and not leaving the secured area?

Don't forget these guys are paid to find non-compliance... Just my opinion tho..
