I have a pair of red Boxer Shorts with that printed on them

Gday Ian, Do you have an ANR version available in the Rec Flying series ?BPN

Now that would be something, a ANR version of red boxer shorts:roflmao:

....latest styles in aviation and what Pilots are wearing this season

-Linda

Leave them the way that they are Ian, Brand recognition goes a long way in a product.

Mine are really good for when I have to use them.

Brian

JWW,

This is the closest picture I have. I can take another one over the weekend if you need a better shot from front on.

Brian

JWW we use a hella marine deck light fitted under the front cowl, it is bright and weather proof and it cost about $180, it would be about the same size as what is shown in the video.

If you got two lights, you could run them through a relay using a flasher can to make them alternate.

Just an idea

Brian

Hmmmm. The only way for the inlet manifold bolts to come out is if they were only finger tight in the first place ( we are talking about the alloy machined part with the six inlet tubes coming out of it aren't we?) And, If I remember, you can't get the centre rear one out without taking off the exhaust muffler cover first. The manifold halves will sit in place together as they have a couple of dowels ( or maybe just one?) to line them up and cannot fall off due to the exhaust cover. IF bolts like that are loctited and done up properly they will NEVER come loose by themselves. Someone just forgot. It can happen. ...........I don't see that taking off the top cover helps much unless you take off the air scoops as well. You can't see much at all. Geoff (L2)

In may 2000, I, with 5 other sport aircraft, had a flying adventure, flying to flooded Lake Ayre, and crossing the Simpson Desert West to east.

Peter.

Hi Peter and welcome.

We did the Simpson desert from West to East aswell after leaving Oodnadatta, on our way to Birdsville.

Absoulutely spectacular.

-Linda

Checking all the manifold bolts for the exhaust and the intake should be part of the normal proceedure during a service as they can sometimes come loose and should be checked, all part of being obsevant and checking over all bolts and fittings, if it is noticed that a bolt or bolts are loosening between services then it can be rectified and problem will be fixed.

Brian

The aircraft was definitely not a Jabiru . Have not positively identified the a/c yet , but the vision clearly showed the burnt remains of a metal framed fuselage .Bob

Use your investigative powers and suss it out for us please would you?

-Linda

the abysmal engine in the front of Jabiru aircraft.Met

*rollseyes*

-Linda

Bob...

So you have got the hang of using it now I guess?

-Linda

What is the Correct orientation of the slide on a Bing 94 ? Cheers

Thruster.

The holes in the slide go to the back closest to the butterfly. You can check to see if it works by using an airblower and blowing through the carby, it should lift the slide.

Brian

Hi Bruce,

When I do the 12 point nuts I always remove the heads as it is not that big of a job and it is a good opportunity to look inside and check how things are travelling, it also does make the job of fitting the nuts easier on the bottom of the barrells.

Brian

I gather it is flying better now Robyn? Bob said at the end it was running a little rough.

-Linda

Great catching up with a good friend.

Next time Echuca!!

-Linda

About roughly 10 mins from airfield to my house. :)

Mardy,

Leukosilk from the chemist. Excellent stuff.

So make sure you check the prop bolt torque (24ft-lbs) and look out for elongation of the prop bolt holes through the propeller hub.OME

Brian

My jabiru has microair radio that seems to work ok, but get static noise through the intercom while transponder is on .

Check your stub antenna. If you can turn it, then it is broken and you will need to replace it.

We had problems with our transponder, took it upto Microair and found the stub antenna was broken. Replaced it and now it works fantastic.

-Linda

Try not to use anything with silicon in it as it can make repairs harder to do at a later time, such as touching up paint etc

Brian

Yenn.

The only place we couldn't use the screw-its was at Oodnadatta, the ground there was as hard as a cats' head. Every where else they have been great.

-Linda

Scott.

I believe most of Shell have been converted over to credit card. BP and Mobil are still a carnet card.

Our Avgas bowser is owned by the flying school, they accept cash or cheque only.

(you can only get it if they are there, as they lock it )

-Linda

We use screw-its and tied down at 4 points.

1 each under the wing, 1 at the rear and 1 off the front nose leg. If there is a parallel cable we use that and still do the front and back tie downs.

After the incident at Avalon a few years back when the mini tornado went through, this is the only way we leave our plane tied.

-Linda

Sorry Linda but you can't go...Brian is taking me...guess you will have to walk...better still, Brian, you start walking and I will go with Linda

When was the last time you flew a plane Ian?

-Linda

*puts hand up*

Providing the weather allows us to get out over the divide.
