OK at least we know its not a hardware issue - I've never had a problem with FlightBook. You must download the latest version (2.5.1 to work with Vista) from the Garmin site http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=35 Make sure you remove the old version and then install the new. Let me know how you go. regards

I too vote for George.

G'day Alan, Can I assume that you have installed the synchronization software to allow the "Palm" side of the 3600a to talk with Outlook and other PC programs. Once this is set up there should be no problems as the GPS side of things uses this "conduit" to pass data to the Mapsource and Flightbook programs. I hope this is of some help to you. regards

Boort it is - last time I looked on Google earth there was water in the lakes. regards

I too will miss you on these forums George - a true gentleman who has given us so much, may your memory live forever in the hearts of friends and loved ones.

The Gyroplane that crashed recently at Echuca had fuel tank seats....... regards

We have some good rainfall in Echuca ;) - around 25 mils in the last two days. My grandson (LittlePete) is not impressed, hasn't been up yet and been here a week today - won't get up today either. :yuk: It's raining NOW - YIPPEE regards

I remember many years ago when atending a promotion course at Balcome Apprentice School - the local fire boys were filling the water tank of the fire engine. ;) They realized that when the tank was only half full that they would miss morning tea at the mess, jumped in the truck and headed off. :;)1: All was fine until they got to the the first corner, a 90 degree decending bend - BANG - one fire truck upside down in an instant - no one badly hurt fortunatley. ;););) The CO was not impressed - regards

After flying for two months with the new jets I'm probably burning 1.5 to 2 extra liters per hour :):) - small price to pay for cooler running and peace of mind. ;);) regards

Yes - We're taking the credit for the rain. ;);) Please send your cheque to: Ian and BigPete's rainmakers extraordinary, at a flyin near you. :big_grin::big_grin::big_grin: - around $50 bucks each should cover it. raingards

Ya gotta luv those Jack Russels's - the only dog that come with a name. regards

Might be cheaper/easier to change girlfriends!! :big_grin::big_grin::big_grin: just kidden', couldn't help myself ;););) regards

Ahhhh - the luxury of the home build - where you can take the time to get it just right. Whereas the factory have to get them out the door to make some money. You're right about the cowls, mine have elongated holes already (260 hrs). I will follow your lead and make the changes before too long. Looks great. regards

Now that's more like it! - looks like we're up and running. ;););) (now we can thaw out all those eggs we had over from last time??):big_grin::big_grin::big_grin: (not to mention the beer :;)4::;)4:) regards

Hello - is anyone there? I said "We will try for the last weekend in February - 23d/24th. (Echuca Fly In - Take Two) WELL? how about it! ;););) (now you get to say yay or nay) please :;)4: :big_grin::big_grin::big_grin::big_grin: (maybe a mobile msg Ian??)

So..... does this mean last leg is - YNRM to YTDN? a fair jump - going via? (waypoints) when do you leave? regards

Where am I? - Somewhere in Victoria! regards

How dry is the drought? Below is a picture of a strip in Vic. The top left hand corner used to be a lake. I'll say no more as this is also in the "Guess the strip" post. Hi Res available - 2592 x 1944 pixels regards

A proposed date for the Echuca Take Two attempt is February 23rd and 24th (last weekend in the month). regards

G'Day Ross - Front UC wheel was 48 kg's - I sometimes wonder why I have a two seat aircraft - my wife prefers to quilt instead of fly so I quite often fly alone (except when my grandson visits on school holidays (soon to be 10), loves to fly, we're going to Narromine next year). regards

Lets get everyone a radio first!!! and make them use it!!!

Thanks Mick. regards

Turn off the motor (and fuel pump/tap) and hit the wires not the posts. (if possible) regards

Me too - well done Mick, gotta be short favourite. ;););) regards

Thanks Geoff - it is a great aircraft. regards
