Have you been to the factory recently , I think their busy enough, I am sure delivery times will improve now that the RAndD is basically finished.

Keith , I would like to be included on communication list of activities as I regularly fly into Echuca from Albury

No time to play with all the toys and some get a greater priority than others

The VH is a OHV and the old VB is a side valve like the M20

I bought at VB Ariel 600cc single in 1970 and still have it, I rode during my apprenticeship years. It is fitted with a dusting side car now and gathers dust in the shed.

Fantastic, I have been flying mine a bit, there is another ignition replacement bulletin on my plane , I do not think they will ever get it right , when you come over are you flying?

Looks great Laurie how does it fly? Steve

LSA move around to much , cessnas are like a limo after flying a LSA

Great effort, I like your videos keep them coming.

Don, bought his Brumby after mine and it's fitted with a o233 lycoming

I live and fly out of Albury . My piont is the radio does not receive down to 115.6 so I am unable to obtain ATIS .

My radio does not recv 115. Which is the ATIS for Albury air space and as such I need to call the tower both departure and inbound to obtain the basic info.

I have a micro air radio fitted.

Thanks I think, I do not know what your talking about.

Are vortex generators worth fitting?

It might interest you to know Stevron that you can't usually carry full passengers and full fuel in a four seater GA aircraft, and you can't usually carry full passengers and full fuel in a six seater GA aircraft.In all cases performance and operations pre flight planning is required.

My car is geared to 305 km/hr, but I can't drive over the 100 km/hr speed limit

 

A sole pilot can use the full endurance of the aircraft with the larger tank, so people who fly alone no doubt want this feature.

 

If the tank was made smaller, the aircraft would save some weight, and you could carry two people and have full tanks; its just an engineering equation, and part of maximising the flexibility of flying

My point is , most things are good about flying an RA aircraft except they are just shy on take off weight and it's not that they can't carry the extra, because if I fit pods I can get an extra 50 and that 50 would make my flying options better

The planes are fast enough for sure but max weight for is too low for 2 passengers and full tanks .

Americans and Australians are not all 60 kg. I guess not every one wants to fly a big fat 2 seater, but allowance should be made for the ones that do, I am not talking 800 or 900 kg just 650 to 700 kg to cater for the bigger people and more people could enjoy flying without the expense of GA. It's funny that they will give more weigh if you fit pods , go figure.

Just think how many more could enjoy what we love to do .

Brumby have just fitted some new composite door trims and a new spinner to my 610, check it out at Temora

I have a set of Bose ANR for sale they are near new

hey stevron will certainly consider a lightwing when the time comes ,do you know any details about it year built ,engine etc i will have to start looking at what you get for the money thanks for letting me know a fellow pilot friend of mine will be buying as well 1 day so i will pass that onto him as well

The fellow I share the hangar with has a light wing with 200 hrs approx he wants around 45000 for his

There's 2 140 pipers in bendigo Victoria , they are complete, phone the recreational flying club they may be able to help. The planes have been there for a couple of years, so they have been removed to the back blocks of field.

I own a 610 lycoming powered , it's photo is featured on the Brumby ad within this forum. You can pm me if you want.

Thanks every one , I manaully updated and it's back , I now have track history

Yes , OzRunways

I am missing my current track history on my ipad and miss it .

I wonder if there's any recognition of courses such as SAAA maintenance course as that was a 2 day course and a exam
