Being in the US why not go for a Zenith? They seem to be very impressive to me.

It is all on YouTube, well worth the watch. -
Crash at Boonah Golf Course 14/01/2024

I have found the trim on the Tecnam came sometimes get mistaken for the push to talk button. If you have flown another aircraft with the PTT button in the same place as the Trim button on the Tecnam you can mistakenly press the Trim button thinking you are pressing the PTT button when making a radio call. Especially when new to this type of Trim control, or haven't flown for awhile.When it happens it takes you by suprise and there is the delay for your brain to work it out. By then you have a very nose down attitude and you are fighting with the control column to keep the nose up. Someone with less experience could get into trouble. It is something you will only do once. It gives you a bit of a fright. Have never been a fan of Trim buttons on top of the control column. -
Where abouts is the Corby Starlet?

My spies tell me Jabiru has been sold
RocketShip replied to Kyle Communications's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
Could not agree more, turns you off the forum. -
I already have a Class 2 Medical and needed to get a Medical for an MR Licence. No, the Class 2 won't work, had to get a Drivers Medical. Oh, and I need a DA, Drivers Authority so I can drive people around. I have an ASIC's card, you guessed it, that doesn't work either. So back into the pocket for more money. I'm losing interest fast.

My spies tell me Jabiru has been sold
RocketShip replied to Kyle Communications's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
My thoughts exactly. J230 with the Rotax 912ULS, also as you suggest the 914/915. Would be the best touring aircraft around, for me anyway. -

RocketShip replied to Kyle Communications's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
At the very least, they have to offer a Rotax as an option. -

Yep, fit a Rotax and fine tune the aircraft and they will sell. That's for sure. Have been thinking this for awhile. Someone needs to buy Jabiru and go on with it. I sure hope this is what happens. -
I fly in the area and both are RAA friendly. Gympie does have a Landing Fee, I think $20? Caloundra and Gympie both don't have taxiways. You have to backtrack on the runway centre line. It's never an issue, just wait until you have sufficient time and do a call saying you are backtracking and the runway you will use. Caloundra is close to the town itself and Gympie is a bit south of the town. There are places not far from Gympie if you are after food.

Does anyone have any info for Cambooya Airfield just to the south of Toowoomba? Friend is looking to stop there for work reasons. I have had a good look and can't find to much. Nothing on OR or Queensland Country Airfields.

Also the rear window on the Cessna 140 is different to the Luscombe.

I could be wrong but the Blue one is a Luscombe the other three I think are Cessna 140's.

Victa Airtourer Canopy Sunshade
RocketShip replied to RocketShip's topic in Aircraft General Discussion
Have made a start of the Static Cling that I got from Autobarn. Getting it around the curvature of the Canopy is the difficult part. I have made a template using light cardboard. Will then cut the Static Cling from that. Trying to do it so I don't get any overlap on the curvature. Easier said then done. -

Some of this looks great. I have bought the one from Autobahn. Will see how that works. Did not know this stuff exited. -

skippydiesel thank you. I had heard of someone using this. Just couldn't find out to much about it. I never thought of auto shops. I will give it a go. -

Interesting to read that djpacro. Yes the amended usable fuel is 112 ltrs by the AD I have. I enjoy flying the 115, sure it docile in climb, but lots of fun and easy to fly and land. And you can do aerobatics. -
I did see it noted at 115 knts. I thought hmmm, I wonder what it actually gets? I would be very happy with 110kts.

That is one very nice Vixxen pmccarthy. What cruise speed are you getting from it?

I think Bob is from there? Dylan that is.😁
