  1. My Sabre has just clocked over 1500 hrs , can’t fault it, MTOW is now 544,
  2. Might have helped a bit if he had the gear up
  3. Many thanks for your reply, I will pass on your contact no to my mate ,
  4. Picked up in SA , unsure of the previous owner, long story how it happened mostly bad luck.
  5. Mate just bought a genesis and had a tree branch put a six inch hole in the top of the wing , can we patch it with similar covering what sort of glue could be used.
  6. Sorry, bit hard to fly them to the states.
  7. If interested I know of 2 for sale ,low hours ,good build.
  8. Looks like casa has Pauline’s pilot, Ashby, in their sights for flying their j230 around Queensland trying to drum up votes, wondering how this will end up.
  9. What’s a alternator, so I’d say never!
  10. Turned out to be brushes
  11. mate just rang me about his starter failing , solenoid pulls in , good battery, but only small movements of the prop then nothing , any ideas ?
  12. Hi , am keen on finding out about the lightning, could you ring me on 042885573 , thanks
  13. Those stats don’t seem that bad , 180kns vne, tested to 9 g, the airframe seems solid.
  14. Will do
  15. Where
  16. So what didn’t you like about them
  17. Dreaming about buying a lighting, all the numbers look impressive, 150kn cruise on a jabi 6 , anyone with any experience can tell me if these figures are true
  18. Thanks for all your advice, I borrowed a radiator pressure testing outfit from a mate but none of the caps were small enough to fit the Rotax header tank so I figured I could pump some pressure back down the bleed off hose which should open the non return valve in the cap and end up in the system which hopefully might show up any leaks unsure whether this is the right way to go about it
  19. I reckon I am loosing a small amount of coolant out of the expansion bottle , searched ever where but it doesn't show up , is it possible to hand pump some pressure in through the hose that feeds the bottle to check if that shows up anything .
  20. Not worth the trouble, so I think we will give it a miss
  21. I thought you would loose a few with the mickey reference. Lucky some of those redneck pilots from the Birdsville races didn't have a go at riding one
  22. I reckon the hundreds of 4 wheel drive ferals would wreak more damage than a hand full of flying idiots,
  23. I think we are talking about different stories
  24. At least they didn't shoot holes in the tank
  25. I don't think you can compare a few idiots in four wheel drives to most of the decent people that fly, it's a pity we can't land there because it's a great spot, in the middle of no where
