Went to the local motor bike shop to buy some shell vsx 4t oil for my 912 rotax but was told it is no longer available and the replacement is AX 7 apparently Bert floods say not to use this oil so what is everyone using now I am looking at using shell aerosport plus 4 but dont know who stocks it locally

i dont think they are I believe they are from damaged cars and modified have a look at the honda web site no mention of an aeroplane engine

arent viking engines out of written off honda cars

large brown coal power stations get paid about $20 to $40 per megawatt which is $20 to $40 for a million watts which is 2 to 4 cents per kilowatt so they are only getting less than half of what you are getting the distributors get the rest

the purpose of the 25 mile limit is to allow you to learn how to fly without having to worry about navigation weather etc not to allow you to go touring and sight seeing stay within your 25 mile limit you will understand why when you get your cross country endorsement

how about instead of everyone spreading rumours people should state the facts.If someone says they have emails and letters they should post them or SHUT UP I am sick of this talk about people must resign for raa to survive WHY WHAT HAVE THEY DONE so come on put your pen where your mouth is and tell us what you know or is it all BS and just a personal vendetta ie throw enough mud and some will stick

hi we did the trip to lady baron a few weeks ago in our rv12 had a huge tailwind ( 40 knots + ) so got there from latrobe valley in 70 minutes the return trip had a low cloud cover so could only get to 2000' but the wind had changed directions so we didnt have much of a head wind coming back

next time we will spend a bit of time looking at the islands

thanks for the posts we will get up there sometime went to lethbidge for lunch on sat after flying over cobden where the runway is being redone

ashley

due to lousy weather and no accomadation we didnt end up making the trip but will in the near future

Hi subject to weather etc we hope to fly to warnambool for the weekend can anyone give us any info on hangarage and car hire thanks

ashley

stop mucking around with the site or you will loose members we havent got time to keep learning how to use the site

I have been told only about 3 % of scratch built aeroplanes ever get finished but you have to decide what you really want to do If you just want a project it may be ok but if you want to fly within the next few years build a kit plane still lots of work but achieveable I built an rv12 which took just over 12 months which is long enough to wait when you want to go flying

i have a GME ELB beacon MT400 it is registered for our boat and our aeroplane it doesnt weigh much or take up much room We just move it from plane to boat as needed

I run premium 98 when possible and mogas when it is not this is what rotax recommends

i think i will stick with the rotax and have a tbo of 2000 hours not jabs 500 hours

sorry not bus but train to latrobe valley

sorry no flights into latrobe valley fly to melb bus to southern cross station and bus to latrobe valley

can anyone tell me what connector the external antenna uses and if there is a generic antenna that will fit

thanks

ashley
