Round Engines

Go to Thevenard Island. Great place, great people. Decent runway too.

I used a circle cutter in a cheap drill press and sprayed lots of WD-40 while cutting. And as old man emu said don't forget the deburring tool. Turned out really neat.

Thanks for the replies fellow aviators ?

Does anyone know if the spacewalker II kits are still available anywhere?

Looks awesome. Great to see some more e-plane activity.

Baron, i have sent you a PM with the details. Cheers, RE

Hi Barron, I haven't built one but have a good mate who did build and test fly his CX4. It is currently for sale. I have attached a link from the CX4 community which shows all the builders and flyers in Oz. Best of luck, they are a great looking aircraft.

Hi all, Is anyone on this forum currently building a Foxcon Terrier or has built one in the past? Just after some info regarding the build process. Thanks, RE

There is a twin jet cri cri that operates out of YSEN. And it sounds awesome! I think it uses engines similar to the ones above.

Just wondering if anyone here has any experience in building an Affordaplane? RE

Go Gear racing in Perth sell rod ends. Have bought a few there myself. Not sure about the nut plates though. RE

Has anyone landed at Laguna Quays Airport?

Yes it is indeed a different engine. Also a bit lighter so will need to be put on the scales again. I didn’t think about the new test period. Thanks for all the replies. RE

I am looking at buying a ‘19’ registered aircraft which currently has an automotive engine in it. I would like to replace the engine with another automotive engine which I rebuilt myself. Would this allow me to carry out my own maintenance? I am a qualified engine rebuilder. RE

Pindan, There is a guy here in Perth that specializes in fiberglass work on aircraft. He did some fantastic work on a mates Glasair. If you want to PM me I will send you his contact details. RE

Hi Greg, Welcome to the forum. Where are you located, north or south. RE

Does anyone on this site have any contact details for Volker Heydecke? After some info on his H 16. RE

There are no landing fees at this particular airport. Maybe he is so used to trying to avoid landing fees elsewhere that it is just a habit.

I was at a country airport not too long ago where an aircraft driver was using his aircraft type as his call sign? I asked him why he was using his aircraft type instead of his rego and he replied that's what we do down here mate.

Hi Flyers, Does anyone have any first hand experience or knowledge for converting a 2 seat Jabiru from tri-gear to a taildragger. Thanks in advance, RE

Hi Flyers, I have a new project in mind and am after a used Jabiru airframe minus the engine. Damaged or undamaged and any model would be suitable. If anyone knows of one please PM me. Thanks, RE.

Hi Martin, Good to see you on the forum. I'm bringing 'Boris' the Yak in to Serps for a 100 hrly next week. Might catch you there. RE
