Reports on social media about an 'ultralight' down near Darwin...

HMM I think you are thinking of the wrong person... that was probably me with a few others and 912 Fisher! This is the aircraft in question

Any idea where he is from Daz?

Exactly M61A1

Someone must know where he is in that distinctive Fisher Mk1 of his?

Just my Hang glider... or whatever I can borrow

Back on topic.... Juliette Lima COPY?

Yes sent PMs... he never posted recklessly, always reasonably and respectfully in any case. If I now his name, having never met, he was never anonymous

Does anyone know "Juliette Lima" on this forum... Mr John Leddy. Trying to track him down. Cheers.

The 'intrepid CFI' has accomplished missions of far greater magnitude, it will be in excellent hands!

Re transferring licences http://www.casa.gov.au/scripts/nc.dll?WCMS:STANDARD::pc=PC_90024 Don't know about the GA Heli licence...

Adverse yaw?

Whatever the cause of the fan stopping, it appears the pilot has done a pretty good job in the circumstances

Hi Seb and All, If Patrick cannot do it for some reason I could probably find the time to fly it up .

2 x fatalities

Russ, You keep pressing the small 'target' looking symbol below the map (the one that centers on your location)... it switches through different options > track up > north up etc

You need to constantly power to your iPhone/device to run this seems more power hungry then other GPS apps: "Glympse" .... a free tracking App

I prefer the tail wheel on first... In fact isn't that the way it should be? Slight tail wheel touch then the mains?

Tinytach are great... But more expensive...Make sure you set the cycle/stroke right.

You can overcharge and damage them but unlikely with the 912 output as with the 582. Look at a Shorai, or Antigravity (16cell) would be my advice.

I do not fear the lithium batteries when used and care for correctly. That battery however does not have the CCA sufficient for a 912. It will turn it over OK for a short period but will discharge very quickly which is where problems will arise. What is its capacity?

The liquid containment bag (empty) could be stowed anywhere you could fit it. If you had a 20l 'jerry' can as we call them... I would look at rigging something up to carry it under the pan like the belly tanks you see on many Drifters.

Beautiful! The plane looks good too:good vs evil:

Less than 40kAUD with a 912 RTF in Australia.... That is some cheap aviation! Wonder how the wing performs, vices etc. Hard to find any recent feedback on that online. Yes I know the Skyradier is 1 + 1: like it... was just just talking about your offering (single seat RTF).

I don't know much about the HKS but I think if you could do it for under 50k AUD with a 912 it would be a very affordable package. Just dreaming.... but a tandem seating option would be good for the odd pax flight but more importantly usable space for kit for going places. I like the look of this plane but wonder how much you would really end up spending adding skins and paint and the rest? at 14k USD + skins, paint gauges, engine, transport and the GST you would not get any change from 65k AUD I reckon. If you could offer something like the Super Skyraider for under 50k AUD RTF I think you would be in a good market. The gas strut shockies design of the Super STOL Highlander would be a great design inclusion.
