  1. Channel 9 just reported a 'glider' crash in WA. The footage of the scene showed a body damaged modern Airborne trike with double surface wing (yellow). They didn't name the pilot but said he was an accomplished musician. Very sad news for his family and friends. Laurie
  2. Aren't Highlander Aircraft (Just Aircraft) factory built? Laurie
  3. Carl from Avplan replied and cleared things up on New Years Day. Excellent service. Laurie
  4. Yes and completed the set up page. When I check‘external devices’ in AvPlan it comes up ‘refused’. Laurie
  5. I have received my Skyecho2 and have the required hex code. I believe I have configured it correctly through the wifi connection and browser. Unfortunately AvPlan is refusing to connect. Also the Skyecho2 is not transmitting- the middle green light flashes slowly. Can anyone tell from my description what I might have missed? Laurie
  6. Setting up my Skyecho 2 - can anyone advise where i can get the ICAO hex code for my RAAUS registered Jabiru? Regards Laurie
  7. Had an absolute ripper of a day on the motor bike then Jabiru and Trike flying on Friday. I used the 'Relive' app which shows your track and photos over Google Earth. -656619737.MP4
  8. Only Kalgoorlie (by a grounds person who didn't even know what an AVID was) and Merimbula where they have a vested interest. They serve absolutely no purpose apart from keeping a few more pen pushers in a job. Laurie
  9. Victoria gave away car registration labels years ago. It is quite risky 'running the gauntlet' because many highway patrol cars are fitted with ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) which alerts the persons in blue in real time of expired registration, disqualified drivers, outstanding warrants etc. Also, SAFA (HGFA) have stopped producing annual registration cards for their aircraft (trikes) and have come up with a sticker with a QR code which if scanned reveals the registration status.
  10. Recent paragliding at Murrells Beach, western Victoria. https://studio.youtube.com/video/b3WrVt8NtbQ/edit
  11. Wheel barrowing is entirely pilot induced. If you do this you have lost all the stability of a tricycle and created a one wheel tail dragger. Differential braking will not help the incompetent pilot.
  12. Thanks FH. I adjusted the throttle, applied carb heat, fuel pump on, confirmed mixture rich and after a minute or so the EGT returned to its normal level. Laurie
