jetjr I emailed Bolly today waiting on reply. Thanks everybody for there response.

seb7701 I was talking to one of the lady's at Jabiru when I enquired about a composite prop and she didn't know if you had to change the spinner and packing plate

Question for Jabiru J 2 & 4 series aircraft owners. I am looking at buying a Jabiru composite prop to suit my J 200. I have read a lot of the old post from previses years and would like to know what they are like now that they have been out for a few years.

G'day Yenn Myself and a mate will be flying down in our Thrusters weather permitting, looking forward to it. We were at the last flyin in 2014 and had a great time. Be good to see more rag and tube aircraft at the flyin

I will be there. I went to the 2014 Thangool flyin and had a great time. Worth the trip.

Hi Sue, this is off topic, the contact details that we have for you don't work and I just want to let you know that we still have the logbooks for your plane. If you can please contact me at Longreach Aircraft Maintenace. Regards Shona Daveson

I will be there weather permitting. SAJ

I am also disappointed with the 4 week turn around on registration, I have been planning on going to Raglan flyin since I saw the add months ago. I received my registration renewal about a month ago and noticed it ran out on the 22/5, Raglan is on the 23 24 25/5, So I faxed my registration renewal back with payment the day after I received it thinking it would be back before the 23/5. I waited for 3 weeks and no rego, a week out from Raglan I rang Ra-Aus and was told there was a 4 week delay and there was 60 other rego's in front of mine, so I asked if it would possible be back before the 23 and was told probably not, so I'am not a happy chappie. SAJ

Me to, what dates are you looking at. SAJ

I brought a VH J400 and had it registered as a RAA J200 and the MTOW went from 700kgs to 544kgs and its in the 19 registration category now. SAJ

I brought a J400 which was VH registered and had a MTOW of 700kg, when I re-registered it as a RAA-AUS J200 my MTOW dropped to 544kg, it all depends on which registration category it is, my J200 is in the 19 category. SAJ

G'day Ian, where's Heathrow SAJ

G 'day Lior, If you get the RA-AUS sport pilot magazine, on the front page of the latest edition SkyShop have collapsible fuel jerry cans, a 7 and a 20 litre. SAJ

Does anyone have or know where I can get a tachometer for a Rotax 532, mine has died and I haven't been able to find another one. SAJ

G'day propfarmer. When I changed my stainless steel brackets on my T500 I had them done through Tony Hayse and I only had to replace the outer brackets. SAJ

Thanks HITC, what Pud said much appreciated, could have made a big mistake. SAJ

G"day fly_tornado, I dont know what you mean by lipo or life battery, the ones Iam looking at they say takes 6 minutes to charge from flat to full. SAJ

G'day Pud. I was looking at 3 Lithium battries that would fit in my battery cradle. LT12B-4, L:150/W:65/H:92/290cca, YT12B4, L:150/W:65/H:92/290cca, YTX12ABS, L:150/W:87/H:105/280cca. Prices range from $140 to $280. If you go into ebay and type in Lithium battery you will find them there. SAJ

I was looking at putting a Lithium Ion battery in my Thruster, I have a Odyssey PC625 battery in my thruster at the moment and it does'nt quit fit properly in the battery cradle. I can get a Lithium battery that will fit perfectly in my battery cradle, and it weight is 1kg and has 290 cold cranking amps. My Odyssey battery weight is 6kg's and 200cca. I would like to know if anyone has used a Lithium battery in there aircraft. SAJ

I would like to know if you need permission to land at Fraser island. SAJ

Right on j230 SAJ

How you going Bob, yes you did meet me, I'd just come back from a fly in my Thruster, how was your trip up north. SAJ

OME how much movment was there, I did a check on my J200 today and found a very small amount of movement. You could'nt see the movement but you could feel it if you put your fingers on the cover strip. SAJ

Pud the brackets were not welded around the seams, but they did have the sharp fold marks. SAJ

Can you still get spare parts for Thrusters, I went and had a look at a T300 for sale for a friend and I noticed it still had the old style strut to leading/trailing edge stainless steel brackets. I know Tony Hayse had S/S brackets made to replace the old style brackets, I got a set for my T500 in 2005. Can anyone help in getting new brackets. SAJ
