Those stats don’t seem that bad , 180kns vne, tested to 9 g, the airframe seems solid.

Will do

Where

So what didn’t you like about them

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

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

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 .

Not worth the trouble, so I think we will give it a miss

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

I reckon the hundreds of 4 wheel drive ferals would wreak more damage than a hand full of flying idiots,

I think we are talking about different stories

At least they didn't shoot holes in the tank

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

I reckon that's still her, I thought she had maybe moved on, you would think when the Birdsville track gets closed because of the wet weather the pub would benefit from incoming air traffic

Even though I believe the strips are maintained by the road authorities she still won't let anyone use it them, have landed on the access track to the pub but Phil reckons the brush along the edges might not allow us through, may not be worth the risk as would need fuel to continue on.

anyone flown into mungeranie lately, years ago it wasn't a problem using the strip , rang Phil at he pub to book a couple of rooms and he said to get permission from the station shouldn't be a problem female answers the phone only to be told we don't let anyone use our strip, I don't think we have much of a choice to put down any where else so may have to give it a miss.

Count me in , remind me when it gets closer

Read somewhere that moreys foams up which might detract from the way your oil performs, any ideas on this.

How would one of these batteries go with the charging set up on the rotax 914, mine is close to needing replacement

Managed to complete the trip, left on the Tuesday ,fuel at Dubbo big tailwind mostly 150kn just under 5 hours flying time. Wednesday flying via boona then on to Toowoomba , rough over the hills and landed on the disused sealed strip opposite the field days venue , very handy, flew back to heck field and returned home the next day, thanks everyone for your help .

Great advice , thanks

That makes sense, l like to keep well clear of all the red lines where we usually fly, only got to do a bit of homework, thanks

The danger D612B says sfc to 2500 what does that mean, I understand you can fly through D , just wonder why is it designated D,

You can ring me on. 0428585573

if interested I have a mate in kinglake ,vic, who has had a lot of experience with corvair areo conversions
