I only turn my strobes on when entering or leaving the active runway. Exactly as the Airlines do!

Yes, have a look at Trig. I have a Trig small round Mode S Transponder in my Jab and no probs since installation in 2014. My Microair VHF Com is still working well, but if it gives up, I will buy a Trig VHF Com. As back up, think about a Handheld connected to a Headset

Cant go wrong with Plexus. Expensive but its the best!

Yes i have done that but how do you delete it completely? Does it just stay there forever showing COMPLETED? Thanks again Ross

Ian can you tell me how to delete a classified advert please. Ive searched my ads and cant find a delete or remove tab.

Anyone there? unfortunately due to personal issues, I couldnt make it but would appreciate comments/pics and impressions so far Thanks

Gday again Yenn Not sure why the PM not working but i have an as new Icom A-15 Handheld surplus to my requirements that you can check out in Classifieds.

Yenn i sent you a PM this morning that may interest you but not sure if if it went through properly. Regards Ross

Hi Lozzer Can you PM me? I have a Garmin Aera 500 for sale . Regards Ross

Neither will I!

Dont do it! I had a C152 online at a busy school many years ago, and the maintenance costs well outstripped the revenue. Enjoy it yourself you will be much happier.

Im lucky in that ive had the Microair 760 in my Jabiru last 5 years and no issues so far. There is difficulty however reading the display in bright light. Last Signal check with Centre on a recent cross country was readabilty 5. I understand the Microair Factory at Bundaberg no longer sells or support these Radios so if/when it fails I will probably go for the Trig equivalent.

I’ve also had my D2 for 3 years and had a problem after 1 year where it was very slow finding satellites. Dynon advised this was a problem in Asia and Australia and fixed it with a firmware update. No problems since. You can adjust the screen brightness in the settings and i usually have mine up full!

At Oshkosh this year, Dynon announced a new D3 which comes with synthetic vision and is expected to cost under $1K USD.

Airventure Australia is the Cessnock thing in Sept. Ausfly is the Narromine thing in Oct. Natfly is an obsolete name

What is a BALANCE MASTER?

So this is a completely separate event from AIRVENTURE at Cessnock a month earlier?

And Jabiru offer a Cold Start kit as an option which is a must in cold weather

If I am parked outside for longer than a week, I hook up a 10w Solar charger with voltage reg attached and works fine.

Hi MichaelI’ve been many times and am going again this year. PM me and we can catch up and perhaps meet up

My Microair also has electrical type interference when receiving distant stations however on a recent trip i did a transmit check with Melbourne Centre and they received me 5X5.I find that the display is difficult to read in sunlight, and very difficult to change frequency in any sort of turbulence! I also had problems trying to speak with a tech at Microair, they were not interested in discussing issues a couple of years ago. I will replace mine with a Trig to match my Transponder when the time comes.

Mate I know how you feel!I have one of those Foreign Currency Credit Cards in USD and when I checked the balance recently, all money gone by a number of transactions generated in Hanoi. The Card has been in my Wallet all the time. Ive heard that some Scammers have machines which generate milions of random Card numbers in the hope that eventually, one will come up with a valid number. So now ive had to lodge DISPUTED TRANSACTION forms and will probably have to wait weeks or months before I get a refund, cant do a thing about it.

Yeah it’s great fun fitting it on a windy day by yourself!

A good quality Cabin Cover will help a lot. It’s the delicate Avionics and Instruments that need the protection. I got a Cover from Bruces Custom Covers in the USA, they have a great reputation for quality and they have info on their website about recorded temps in the Cabin with or without Covers. They are expensive but worth it. They make lightweight Travel Covers and all sorts of other stuff for outside protection. Probably too late for your impending trip, but keep in mind for the future.

Also, If you run AvPlan, that’s also in plain English
