    Private Explorer. Yes, I think it did fly around the world many years ago.

    Interesting. I got 8 years out of my first battery, always using the solar trickle charger, my mate got just 4 years without one before his battery just gave up. Mine was still going strong at 8 years. Now 7 years out of the current battery, still going strong. Mate uses a trickle now and has probably over 8 years on his battery now, still going great. We use our old batteries to power a cordless drill (yes, with a cord now) and a light.

    The Full River direct replacement may not be quite so direct. I bought one for my PC625 replacement, it was in a tin case which I had to remove to fit the battery tray in my aircraft, (the actual battery is the same size, but there's no mention of it being in a case!) then I realised that the positive and negative terminal where reversed, so I could not use it due to insufficient battery cable reach - in my aircraft installation - setup for, and only for, the battery sitting a certain way with the terminals out in the breeze. I did not have more cable than it needed. Nope, not even another 150mm. Foiled again. I just went and bought a PC625. I put the Full River into a battery box with a solar panel to power an electric fence. Works GREAT. I used a $30 solar car charge panel on it (in the hangar, ambient light) and got 8 years out of the first one before deciding to change it "just because" - it was still starting AOK after 8 years. I think the solar trickle charge just keeps the battery up, not naturally depleting over time.

    Could we see some pictures of the pizzas, might be able to identify them.

    You don't "only" hold an RPL, you hold an RPL, a CASA issued Pilot Licence. It entitles you to operate your aircraft - within the RPL rules and limits of course. Insurers would be (in part) looking at "are you properly qualified?" Yes or no. YES is the answer, you hold a CASA issued Pilot Licence for the aircraft.

    Correct. https://www.warbirdsoverwanaka.com/2020-airshow/news/warbirds-over-wanaka-international-airshow-cancelled/

    Jab engines

    Informative, and from someone who actually has one too. I've said it before, I'll say it again, whenever someone poo-poo's Jabiru to me, I just say: Oh, you own one? (no) Oh, you fly one? (no) Oh, you maintain one? (no)

    I'd think something French homebuilt, oui?

    I'm told the maintenance records are all electronic on a military system, which is not available to Joe Average. I think we'll see some of these fly in civilian hands in short time, unless they all go to Dirkadirkastan.

    CASA has fined pilot(?) Tim French $2730 for three offences, and fisherman Sam Foreman $1050.

    Swamp gas from a weather balloon, trapped in a thermal pocket and refracted by the light from Venus?

    So you can now go in a raffle to buy the aircraft that you might have been in the raffle for to win. Yeah, nah.................

    My question is/are: Is yours the only aircraft in the hangar? Do you have a portable generator or compressor in the hangar - or what other machinery? I sure don't have one on my Jabiru engine. Looks like a part off a thronomister to me.

    GP4. (saw the GP5 racing at Reno in 2012.)

    Bonus points if you can pronounce Whangarei correctly by time you get back here. (I'll be testing ewe.)

    I've owned a Jabiru 2200 since about 2001, and haven't found any magneto's on it. How many hours have your Distributor caps and rotors done?

    1929 Waco by looking at the color (of the N number on the tail...)

    Student Pilot. Could you please post a link to that kitten video.?
  22. 440032
    A LAME telling you it's illegal to have the maintenance logbook on board the aircraft? More aviation folklore/bull$hit.
  23. 440032
    No, they should certainly not be that tight. Something screwy is going on (no pun intended.) I wonder if you have 8-32 nutplates. A 10-32 screw into an 8-32 nutplate would precisely produce the results you are seeing.

    How's the yachting scene at Kyneton Peter?

    Because it is about licences, and licences only Nev, exactly as per the Instrument. Don't read into it what is not there. Afterthought: It actually is giving the sport aviation organisations the power to refuse entry to someone that they might not otherwise have had any capacity at all to refuse. Maybe refuse entry is the wrong term, maybe they could be a member, but not be issued a pilot certificate.
