Oshkosh 2018, B29 and two (I think it was two?) B17's doing laps of the campground at about 500 feet on Friday evening. Cooooooool.

I gather then that you didn't build your Spitfire? You can still do your oil changes and a whole lot more under CASA Schedule 8 pilot permitted maintenance. For me, my CASA medical cost is way wayyyyy cheaper than two years of membership and aircraft registration, so it's VH for me.
-
Out of interest, what would be the main attractions for you K5054 of doing so, if you could? 1. No medical required. (tick). 2. 3. etc

ORATEX http://www.wheelerswings.com.au/ in Melbourne - Brian Gooden. Building a beautiful Wooden Dakota Hawk right now.

Yes, and the Australian one will be even better differences! Why do we have to re-invent the wheel....

Confirmed that CASA Aircraft Register is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy behind in updating their VH register records shown online. I know of a transfer that took place months ago that has not shown up yet. Yes, they confirmed it was received, so nothing they can do about it. -
How many Hours did it take you to complete your RPL?

Talk of Sport Pilot Licence may be confusing to some new readers. There is no such thing, it doesn't exist. Authors are most likely referring to the RAAus Recreational Pilot Certificate - RPC, which is different to the CASA issued Recreational Pilot Licence - RPL used for VH registered aircraft. -
One-off Jabiru 1100 twin 40hp was running at Wagga in 2006. It never flew in the airframe that it was fitted to. (Shook like an angry mother!)

Falco. Next.......

Yes, Kestrel was at Narromine. Said old bloke would have been Peter Hodgens. Usually Lancair IV-P's it into Narromine.

Meanwhile - skip to about 43:30 for John's OAM presentation today in Sydney. https://livestream.com/BLive/InvestitureCeremonySeptember2019/videos/196072148

Aircraft build and registration options
440032 replied to w3stie's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
You need to look at the Australian LSA rules TASMAG. US is a bit different, as is their generic use of "LSA" which can confuse things greatly here. If it's just a kit plane, and I think it is, not an LSA or E-LSA by Australian definition, then you could go RAAus or VH. VH if you want to do aerobatics. What if any licence do you currently have? RA, PPL, or both, or none? That will influence your direction quite a bit. -
Successfully nominated by a NSW Starlet owner, of course!

There is a low winged Jabiru 230 being built somewhere, Victoria I think.... with some fancy auto engine conversion.

Put all the theories aside, here's how you do it properly: https://www.supercub.org/forum/showthread.php?25435-How-To-Groundloop-Your-Taildragger

Some say I’m Very trying....

The N registration is shown in the reflection on the lower wing surface, but I can't read it!☹️

The New Zealand one (that I have right here) is Northstar Explorer F210. The fuel flow sender is a transducer. In the book, it says that they are not suited to EFI engines with a fuel return line to the tank. At the time I bought mine (2010) there was some talk that there was an aviation "special" version for avgas, and the other regular one for boats, cars, whatever. I queried that with the manufacturer. They laughed. "Fuel is fuel is fuel matie! It doesn't know what's going up the pipe!"

No, in that case he must display a VIC (Visitors Card) at all times. Only passengers proceeding to or from an aircraft are ok. The whole thing is a crock. We used to have suits coming through ATC land all the time with no ASIC, even friggen SANTA doing the rounds at Christmas, with no ASIC and in disguise. Out on the fire trucks, up in the tower, out on the tarmac. It's a joke. While that is allowed to continue unchecked, I aint playing. They can Juliet Alpha Mike it.

Aircraft propellers and spares at Moorabbin for aviation cables.
-
The brass look is cadmium plating - on steel. Aviation parts are suitable for aviation uses without question or concern. Marine parts - who knows. Having said that, one would imagine that there are some huge loads and forces on yacht rigging cables made from those marine grade items. Unless you can test load cable assemblies you make to some known figure and be satisfied, you're a test pilot. The dollar is not going to fluctuate enough any time soon to wait, if you need them, order them, and more things in the one box.
