  1. Google up this type of thing... Kincrome Digital Torque Adaptor
  2. The as-per-the plans three bolt tailplane attachment has done the job for well over fifty years Rudi, and thousands of flight hours, and as it was all designed by a qualified aeronautical engineer, don't go messing with it. If it aint broke, don't fix it.
  3. Just how much can a Koala Bear?
  4. Rudi, there is a worldwide Corby Starlet group on yahoogroups you might like to join. I think you have to sign up to yahoogroups (generally) before being able to join any group on yahoogroups. Where are you located Rudi?
  5. Careful with the Full River batteries - they are not necessarily like-for-like with Oddysey. I bought the equivalent for my aircraft, and while it's essentially the same battery, the positive and negative terminals were opposite to my installation, so I couldn't use it. Wasn't going to rewire everything just for that.
  6. Jab twin was 1100cc, in 2006, long after the 1600 engine era. Similarly, the Agusta flat twin aero engine in 1966 vibrated to billeo too.
  7. Pity the Jabiru 1100cc twin didn't happen beyond the prototype. I don't think it ever flew, certainly didn't in the aircraft it was specially made for.
  8. How about some congratulations for JG3 for heading back home rather than press on when a significant part of the flight preparation and plan went down the gurgler. Good decision JG:score 010:. Presson-itis has not gone well for a lot of people. There's always tomorrow to try again.
  9. Getting back to the original question of battery: Yes, readily available. That and many more. Australian Rechargeable Lithium Battery & Lead Acid Batteries
  10. Curiosity got the better of me, I went back in to my A20 to see if I could find that thing. There it was, just inside the back cover, not at all buried deep in the guts of the radio like the button cell is. I have no idea how you even got it out, and you are right, the part number spec is not visible, I was sorta hoping I might be able to see what it was for you. Nope!
  11. I did say the button cell was buried deep in the guts and tricky to get to! CR2032 size cell it was, maybe not that exact number, but that size - ten cent piece but thicker. It's there, and clearly not meant to be a user replace item (being buried so deep and spot welded in - not soldered). Replacing the battery fixed my squelchlessness, I have no idea why, but it did. The radio was useless so I had nothing to lose by taking it apart bit by bit and keep on going til I found that battery. Radio was probably 20 years old before that battery died.
  12. Shouldn't have to put up with this crepe..................
  13. I re-batteried my A20 years ago using ten individual nicad cells bought and wired up into the original battery case. Quite easy really. In the A20 there is also a button cell backup battery buried deep in the guts, spot welded in place, very tricky to get to, but possible. I fitted a new button cell wired in and moved to a more convenient location. When backup battery expired, my squelch stopped squelching. The new battery fixed that.
  14. Benawen, ASIC has got nothing to do with CASA, it's not their baby. Expensive? Yes. useless? Yes. CASA's? No.
  15. Jodel Robin DR400? Gotta be close.....
  16. Fella is not an SAAA member.
  17. SAAA course is not 1500. Have you attended it Jim?
  18. I can't seem to find the interplanetary coverage for my roadside assist plan...
  19. NGK 120 degree spark plug caps me thinks would google better. 45 degree caps would be pointing back at the cyl. Just sayin...
  20. Agree. Time to get off the soap box and pull the plug. I throw in the towel.
  21. Matt Bath?
  22. CASA is aware these things will be appearing sooner or later. Theoretically eligible for an Experimental certificate, but license to fly? None exists, would have to be done individually by exemptions. You have to get the bathtub maintenance manual from Reece Plumbing.
  23. He could rob that convenience store and make a clean getaway.
  24. Corby Kestrel, for those who don't know.
