    G’day Sierra my memory is not as good as it used to be and this was 10 years ago now (where on earth did that time go!) so my recollection of the repair is basically gone. The repair was done under warranty and I did watch but I can’t remember how it was done. again my memory isn’t the best but I thought they were connected? Basically a through bolt sort of set up.

    I have the Arlo cameras that don’t work off the mobile system and they are an awesome bit of gear. Perfect picture quality and the ability to watch in real time from anywhere with internet is a big plus. their units that are on the mobile system look to be just as good and I intend to get one before too long. I can certainly recommend Arlo as a good quality product.

    I have flown into Coolah a couple of times with our local aero club. I can’t remember what phone service was like on the ground. It is a nice enough strip to land on but is a fair way out of town. I would use it as a break stop but not as much a fuel stop. Depending on which way you were going Gunnedah or Quirindi or Coonabarabran may be better options. i am a local at Quirindi and am more than happy to chat about the different options if you like. My mobile is 0427 eight three six 582 regards Sam

    I hope that isn't ELAAA's information policy in the future Keith!Saying you need to explain yourself and then doing that by saying work it out yourselves seems to be as much double talk as pollies feed us. I can understand there are times there will be no new info and I can understand at times things like websites won't work or get hacked but a simple statement every now and then would go a long way to explain matters. I have said before I am only in RAA to fly BUT I will never look at an alternative that has as much double talk as you put out. Keep it plain, keep it simple and you become a viable option.

    Not sure about that Jet, on the rotax I thought rubber hoses got replaced at 5 years?
  6. SDQDI
    Maybe BUT I wonder if you could end up increasing RLOC incidents due to looking at a screen and losing, even if for a second or two, that peripheral view?

    Welcome Breece! I don't know a lot about Tassie but there are some other members on here from there. 1@Marty_d[/uSER] is the main one I can remember, he would be a good place to start to get some local knowledge/contacts. Enjoy the forum.

    I changed over to a helmet from my Zulus and it has much better passive noise reduction than the Zulus but not as good in the ANR side. I think with aircraft noise is always going to be a factor as insulating against it for our size aircraft isn't really viable so a good headset/helmet is a must.

    I never did enjoy English! Always enjoyed reading but it the rest of it. But having said that it seems you were very much hinting at someone maliciously hindering ELAAA you said So what organisation/s are you talking about?You later told Turbs something along the lines of it being fact.

    So are you saying it is RAA's fault that CASA is holding back? Maybe it was their fault that that Chinese satellite came down too? They probably introduced Barnaby to his mistress and no doubt they are sitting on the coordinates of MH370.......... Maybe I just read too much into it. I haven't ever been good at cryptic clues, but it does seem to me that RAA cops a lot of blame for a lot of stuff. And for the record I am in no way affiliated with RAA or the leaders thereof other than being a paid up member so I can fly.
  11. SDQDI
    ?? Please expand Turbs.I am sure you know of grass strips so I am guessing you have a cryptic point to your question?
  12. SDQDI
    Well how close was it to the strip? It is hard to tell from the camera angle I saw.
  13. SDQDI
    My strategy would be 1: find a new instructor/school

    If you seriously think that we, as RAA flyers, are as hard done by as allied POWs or even slightly comparable then I think you are in a different reality to me.
  15. SDQDI
    Well it is a bit late to worry about the pilots feelings it seems he has already taken afence

    Some birds are cluey brutes! Grass seed will be ok BUT we used to have trouble when we were planting corn with cockatoos, we would plant the corn in rows about 2-3inches deep with the seeds around 4 inches apart and the cockies would find a row and then work their way along only digging a hole every four inches, they would dig out that seed and then move on and get the next one. I never really worked out how they knew where the seeds were but it was super frustrating as only a handful of cockies could clear a fair little patch in a short amount of time.

    Also get one rated to take ethanol, even if you never buy anything other than premium or avgas

    Fuel Pressures

    SDQDI replied to Bruce Tuncks's topic in Jabiru

    If you have turned the engine off then I wouldn't worry about the pressure reading. My electric gauges do some weird things when switched off.
  19. SDQDI
    But I guess the 100kgs wouldnt all be in one lump? But still haveing said that a half a kilo lump would still do some damage at that speed.

    Fuel Pressures

    SDQDI replied to Bruce Tuncks's topic in Jabiru

    Is it a mechanical gauge or an electric one Bruce?

    I thought it was just melted away to nothing? I thought a nice adjustable heat protecting capsule could be designed to let the stuff melt but then shield it so it wasn't all burnt up? It could then land with a nice load of ingots ready for their next life.
  22. SDQDI
    Using solar power is silly, why not design a capsule that uses the heat of reentry to smelt it all on the way back? Done and dusted!

    https://www.scienceabc.com/innovation/how-does-turning-on-wifi-improve-the-location-accuracy-of-a-device.html That is well worth a read and explains the wifi helping location phenomenon. In short it has nothing to do with gps, most wifi points have location recorded on a google database and those that don't are automatically recorded if your device sees them and you have clicked I agree at the right time! At no time does your device have to connect to these wifi points to have this all happen. It is amazing and really scary all at the same time!!
  24. SDQDI
    That is interesting as I was under the impression that with wifi off that the iPad only relied on mobile triangulation? But I only assumed that, never checked why that notice came up
  25. SDQDI
    Just remember if you are using ozrunways on your iPad turning off wifi turns off gps so location accuracy can be reduced.
