Hi Shane, I sent the new Bank details through this morning (PM). Let me know if you have received them ok. Regards Kev

Great, thanks Shane. Will be in touch tomorrow ....

Thanks, will do. The Bank assures me it will be sorted tomorrow (Monday) and they are going to phone me in the morning to confirm. So, I'll let you know. In the meantime, I can get it posted off to you tomorrow anyway, so will forward the tracking details as soon as I have them. Do I just address it to Shane? Regards Kev

Sorry for the delay, I thought my message had gone through but now I can't find it. I'll send you a PM with Bank Details. Cheers Kev

No problem Shane. If you can send through your address I can get it posted to you tomorrow, or Friday at the latest but will send through tracking details for you. EFT would be ok, I just need to grab the details for you.

Hi, yes it's available. It appears that postage rates have increased since I last posted something, but it should go in a small prepaid satchel which would be $14.40 for Express Post, or $10.90 for normal parcel post. Cheers Kev

Sorry Bill, I sold mine on here just recently. Regards Kev

Thanks, just sent reply

Hi Marty. The end caps on the pliers can be swapped over, if that helps (just held on with small circlips) also it may help to turn the spring clamp round the other way, although I assume you have tried that.

Hi, I used to charge the headsets periodically with the Lynx charger. When I changed helmets, I removed the headband (and batteries) and just connected the ear cups to the click clack system on the Icaro helmet. This just means I can’t talk to the passenger until the radio has been switched on, but with the click clack system this hasn’t been a problem at all. I still have the Lynx battery charger if you’re interested. Kev

Since October 2018 attendees have also had to complete the online course whereas previously RAAus attendees obtained their L1 by forwarding the certificate. If you are in Rockhampton, Steve Bartlett is looking to host a course there and has all the details. Otherwise email me [email protected] and Carole will send details or add you to our waiting list

Unfortunately none that I am aware of (apart from the one mentioned above). Kev

Carole and I have been running our Sport Aviation & Rotax Maintenance course (previously known as the WM/Rotax maintenance course) at various venues in Australia since 2012. This is a two day course with classroom and practical elements which include: wirelocking, filter inspection, conrod bearing testing, carb sync for both 2-stroke and 4-stroke and differential pressure testing. It is the HGFA Airframe and Engine course mentioned in the RAAus Technical Manual. To date, we have completed 44 courses in NSW, VIC, WA, SA and Qld, but are currently ‘on hold’ due to Covid-19 restrictions. Kev

Excellent write up Kasper. I would and will vote for you on this alone. Good luck.

The AirVenture at Oshkosh, WI, USA is having it’s 50th Anniversary this year. We have booked a house which is a 13 minute walk away from the Hilton Garden Inn’s entrance to the venue, where you catch the free ‘internal’ buses. We only need one room, so have two queen bedrooms and a room with two single (bunk beds) available for between 20th – 30th July. AirVenture runs from between Sunday 21st to Sunday 28th July. The cost will be per room and in Australia dollars. Shared kitchen and bathroom but otherwise a private house, near restaurants and shopping. Do your own thing, just need to book your airfares and let us know when you are arriving at the accommodation. The owners can supply up to 3 keys for the property. AirBnB rules apply, i.e. no parties or loud noises to upset neighbours etc. The house has already been paid for, so no refunds. First come, first in. PM me for further details if interested. We have been several times to AirVenture so can help with directions etc. Kev

Larry at Adelaide Airsports has a neat Cygnet for sale

DrZoos The RAAus are recognising the course as an alternative pathway to L1. Everyone who has completed it, (regardless of what they fly, so fixed wing and weightshift alike), have received their L1 rating and therefore do not need to do the on-line test. We supply a list of names to RAAus Technical after each course. The course is referenced in the new RAAus Technical Manual, but unfortunately was not mentioned in the group email sent out recently, or in the Sport Pilot. Kev

Sorry Mark. The Gympie course is full (subject to confirmations). I have sent you a PM
