  1. I tried Repco but they no longer allow me to go behind the counter to do my own selection.

    Spent some time over xmas on the GoldCoast,...... SuperCheapAuto in Burliegh(spp) had a wall full of impressive hosing including wire reinforced.

     

    Very impressed with the range and selection , good prices too.

     

     

  2. I am looking for a strip close to Burra South Australia, flying my Savannah S over to visit friends for a few days in the near future. David

    G'day David, Clare Valley , top class about 40 Km from the Burra or north at Jamestown about the same .

     

    There' plenty of farm strips in the area but YCVA is the top choice, excellent facilities , no fees.

  3. Swallows are getting into my Drifter shed, sitting on the landing wires and crapping all over the the top of the wing and they are not welcome!

    Frank.

    Frank ,

     

    get a few "bag-in-a-box" bladders........inflate and hang on string from the flying wires.

     

    They reflect and move in a breeze and the birds don't like it at all .

  5. Just found this little gem in the "rules" for voting......... ( my underline)

     

     

     

    Can I also include any other material in the ballot paper envelope?

     

    No. Ballot paper envelopes will not be opened until 1 September 2016.

     

    If you include any additional material, you run the risk of your membership lapsing or your aircraft losing current registration. Additionally, your vote won't count.

     

     

  6. hiI have a pilot friends ekp 4 here because he has asked me to update his maps on the CF Card.

    What started this quest was when he got a big red cross on his map screen?

    Aye,Aye, the red cross usually means no GPS attached (from a poor memory).

    The maps can be downloaded from the Iti site and the instructions are clearly provided ; involves removal of the 'old' data files and reloading the new onto the CF card (via a CF card reader). Usually a warning message comes up on bootup regarding the date of maps. The Italian people are most helpful via eMail. ( in my experience). The killer is the newer data requires a larger CF card from the original 512 mB.

     

     

  7. 1974.......on base to rwy 17right , Moorabin, SI yells 'MY AIRCRAFT' , proceeds to aim straight at Princess of Tasmania on the near horizon ( Pt Phillip Bay), suddenly making ack, ack ,ack sounds , released about 1000 rounds in about 10 seconds, and then 'Your Aircraft' ............OK , turn final and plant a greaser , thankyou !
