Refer to your own post 40. Certainly reads like you are giving advice.

I canot believe the BS being written here, the aircraft had a major defect and can only be repaired  IAW manufactures procedures .as per usual here everybody has an opinion  about illegal  repairs an then complain about the authorities wanting to inflict  more regulations .l do know the facts because i am the engineer who said the aircraft could not be flown facts which i will not share on a forum with people in whos aircraft i would not fly in if they are maintained by the metods descibed

Give me a call      o four o 9676837

You only need a condition report if the aircraft is being sold. if only an annual inspection and only used for private operations you may do it on your level one authority if you are confident to carry out the maintenance a level 2 is only required if used for hire and reward

Why not just do it as the manufacturer says

not if it is 24/23 registered not difficult to source Bert Flood can supply but will drain your bank account

The jabiru and rotax charging systems are not suitable for liFePo4 batteries  to many spikes as Ralph said the powermate regulator cures the problem ,charge rate must not exceed 14.6 volts 

Mick

both Raaus 19-xxxx and VH experimental may be flown in controlled airspace both must be equipped with approtiate avionics amd instrument inspections  , both need to be issued with CAR 262AP(5) flight over built up area approval

I built the first CX4 to fly in Australia 

Built as per the plans . fitted with a 2ltr limbach  is under Propped at the moment. 3000 rpm 17 inches manifold pressure. Indicating about 90 knots great to fly , not a difficult  tail dragger but like all tail draggers must be respected  feel free to pm me

I agree the pilot stuffed up but **** happens even to the best of us. You still should not have solid stuff in the area that can save a stuff up.Remember we plan airfields to account for safety room, when bad things happen. We all condemned putting shopping malls on the edge of airports, why is a lift machine on the edge of the grass runway OK?

 

"Stupid is as stupid does"- Forrest Gump.

That's a power transistor, part of the PA circuit. Either a driver or final, have not looked up the specs, ( busy at the mo ) to see if it has the capability of delivering 5 watts RF output. . . .I don't normally feck about with circuits / components without a service circuit diagram. Which I lent out ( fatal ) some time ago. . .If you are interested, look up the spec on the device, and see if it delivers 5W at 50% duty cycle, class 'A' or more likely 'AB1' ( more efficiency) on VHF / AM. Midband. ( You already know the frequency area )

Suspect it is semiconductor Q316. Q316 is a. 2SC1947

have used these in alot of applications including sending one to Florida for the prototype Thatcher CX5 cheap and easy starting polnt

That is for GA and SAA aircraftIf in RAA and you build a recognised kit like a Savannah or a Rans etc there is not that requirement. Anything you design and intend to fly then thats a whole different matter

Either Aero Shell Sport 4 or Shell Advance vsx 4?????I've searched the first 15 pages of these threads and I don't think it has been covered....

I got my last half box from Yarrawongga! Ringing Shell was useless. Motorcycle shops don't have the Advance any more....

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated

For example if you are in Canada they can it seems Unique regulations in Canada allow builders to contract for the professional assembly of kit aircraft; the Zenith CH 650B and STOL CH 750

However in Australia can I employ a LAME or similar person for example to build or mostly build an VH Vans RV for example?

 

If not, how would anyone really know?

 

Or how many years am I facing breaking the rules if found out?

Finished the auster yet

Talking with a lame mate today and he reckons we will be looking at compulsory annuals next, anyone think there is any truth in this.

Thanks Mich - where are Phones Paints ?

Mick

We are almost at the stages of starting the repaint on my Auster into its original colour scheme. Our intention was to use dope over the fabric and two pack on the metal surfaces. Unfortunately the paint supplier who we normally use (Pheonix at Bankstown) is in the process of moving and will not be able to mix paints for another couple of monthsAny suggestions on a good supplier I could go to ? We will be getting them to mix based on british standard colours

Phones paints have today shipped fabric cement to me made to order

Product price great frieght great ripoff

Mick

Err, Ruffasguts, what is "optimistic" about my comment?

find whatu are doing interesting god luck with it

Mick

If its VH registered then the CASA dual inspections apply - it its RAAus registered or HGFA registered then the respective tech manuals apply and not the CASA requirements ... they are part of the exemptions.And in saying this I am not trying to play word games to avoid safety related issues but to clarify what the requirements are.
