    I’m guessing it’s the h button

    Below the sliders there is the blue tooth button , then plus and minus buttons that control the music volume, then below them there is another button , is that it, Greg

    Having the same problems, unsure which black button you are talking about

    Paddock is under crop

    I was more concerned with a 230 left here as has two owners , so they they share in all the ongoing costs including insurance and if it was damaged in my paddock whether there would be no issues with a claim , l was told buy a sceptic once that the claims department is made up of a team of barristers that throw every big claim out, Greg

    Sorry skip, it’s now 2 paddocks with a couple of hay sheds we park planes in. Greg

    No problem with the neighbors complaining , same farmer owns land south and north of my strip , and his father flys a jab from his strip due west from mine, mostly dead dairy farms around me so never really a problem. Greg

    Thanks skip , basically that’s all my strip is , got 3 mates that hanger their planes here and have plenty that fly in but know the risks also had the odd plane come in who has contacted me asking to use the strip as the local strip has closed down , Kyabram, l point out the what’s involved and leave it up to them to make that call , maybe l should stick to people l know.

    Been operating for about 15 years with no incidents , have farm public liability insurance to cover anything personnel injury wise ,discussed all the risks with our broker , providing there was no negligence and pilots understood they needed to be competent it was okay, l was more worried about damage to an aircraft and the insurance company reneging on a claim and if that turns out to be the case it’s hardly worth the insurance in the first place, l think the next move will be contacting them and seeing where we stand , thanks everyone for the advice, Greg

    Just after some advice on insurance on our private strip , 800 m long 50 m wide with trees lining both sides , got some mates who hangar their planes here , l don’t charge them , but was just informed by a pilot, that they might not be covered by their comprehensive insurance if they spear off and end up in the shrubbery because the strip doesn’t meet certain standards, or is it a matter of notifying the insurance company of the added risk to see where we stand

    Fuel

    rhtrudder posted a topic in Engines and Props

    We buy bulk 98 fuel , usually 600lts , pumped into a 1200 lt fuel tank that l use compressed air to fill bikes , mowers and my plane, just found out the supplier doesn’t use a dedicated petrol tank on the truck but supposedly drains any previous diesel out and then fills with my 98 , wondering how much diesel would end up in my fuel , been using this fuel for 10 years so l guess it’s okay

    Mates 912 won’t charge his battery, fitted new reg , have no current coming from the charging coils, has anybody come across this , talked to wal and he said it was rare for these to fail, can this been checked with a resistance reading across the coils , maybe a broken wire

    It worked in the plane so all good , just needed to set the phone up
  14. rhtrudder
    I have Zulu 3, iPhone 8, Xcom intercom, have discovered you can set phone to headsets, worked unplugged inside ok ,don’t know if this will make any difference in the plane, l can receive clearly but my transmission is just static,
  15. rhtrudder
    Headsets work good on the intercom, running out of ideas
  16. rhtrudder
    Thanks, figured it out sort of , turned the gain on the headset all the way down , while waiting for the engine to warm up, took a phone call and it worked, went flying, rang home no good , l guess the engine is still drowning my voice, that was through the hardwire so l might try the Bluetooth , l should be able to turn the radio off and it should still work just through the headset l think or unplug it .
  17. rhtrudder
    It would be great if it works, to be able to phone ahead to make arrangements would make life a lot easier
  18. rhtrudder
    Thanks for that, I fly with a few mates and they don’t have the same problem, on the ground it works fine but up at speed hopeless, where is the radio mic input gain and there is a setting on the phone?
  19. rhtrudder
    Yep have tried the Bluetooth, no difference
  20. rhtrudder
    Having trouble transmitting on my phone while airborne at cruise , new Zulu and new iPhone 8 hard wired through the jack , l can hear clear but the other end is just noise ,is the racket coming off the engine , Rotax, playing havoc with the voice activated mic
  21. rhtrudder
    It looks like it’s leaking back out the cap , going to order a new one today
  22. rhtrudder
    Is it possible for the non return in the cap leak , it seems like it doesn’t hold any pressure , l guess that would overfill the bottle and then draw it back , engine ran cold on the 3 hr trip but l did notice the temp gauge varying up and down slightly, can’t see any sign where it leaked but l guess the blast from prop wash would clear that away
  23. rhtrudder
    I think the red nulon is more anti corrosive but not as much anti freeze which l thought was better suited, did use de ionised water, thanks for all the advice and l will have to look a bit harder
  24. rhtrudder
    Thanks for that, l will change over , is it available at most auto shops
  25. rhtrudder
    I don’t think there is any pressure in the bottle
