Sensor for Fuel Tank Level
WayneL replied to skippydiesel's topic in Aircraft Building and Design Discussion
I have used the "Princeton" capacitance type sender with good accuracy on Westach type gauges after doing the calibration setup. They say that different fuel types will alter the reading but I never used a different fuel type so I can't comment on what the gauge reading difference would be. -

Interesting information Kiwi about it possibly being a convert from a 503. Will pass on that info to the owner. Wayne. -

Drifter accident Woodgate Beach 27/11/2021.
WayneL replied to Teckair's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
The owner/pilot main injury was a gash to the right leg from a bracket on the tube. His son escaped injury. Told me he had no response on controls except ailerons straight after a heavy and slightly faster touchdown (touch n go). The Drifter continued to roll to the right straight after liftoff and the starboard wing hit the beach first. Looking at possible failure of fuselage tube before the impact. -
I just fly the aeroplane........it works for me!!!!😁

Lowering Class E between Melbourne and Cairns
WayneL replied to Bosi72's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
Have seen a letter that Dick wrote to the Deputy Prime Minister and Transport Minister. He is on the GA (& Raaus) side. He is asking for them to look at the USA E class airspace more closely, says the proposed change here is unworkable. Waynel -
Airservices is proposing to lower Class E space to 1500 feet from the current 8500 foot segments from Cairns to Melbourne. This has many implementations for all off us recreational pilots and aircraft owners. Please follow this link to read about the proposal and get your comments into airservices as soon as possible. https://engage.airservicesaustralia.com/lower-base-class-e-east-coast

When driving in the car, flat paddocks and open spaces always have me imagineing having an airstrip or flying low there. When on the Newell Hwy around Narribri, Moree plains where the horizon seems so far away...I imagine I am in A P51 Mustang flat out ten feet of the deck! Wayne
