I think Geoff means building HOURS in flight, not building the plane.

Recommended pressures on my 170 is 45 for mains and 30 for nose. I seem to get more wear on the LH Main in the middle for some reason?

I think you will find that your plastic turns up next week, and will show your LAST BFR date 2016. Thus your Card will be current and when you do your BFR next June, the RAA records will be updated.

They send out the Card a week after Renewal. They told me that the email certificate is proof of your membership pending arrival of the plastic.

Agree completely, with emphasis on the WISELY USED remark

And in turbulence, in a high workload situation, try tapping the screen to change the map orientation or select a GOTO. Chances are you will accidentally tap the wrong thing, and while staring at the screen trying to rectify it, the airplane will wander off altitude and or heading and make a stressful situation worse. I use Avplan and find it a great BACKUP but where i fly, you MUST look out the window for obvious reasons. Too much reliance on electronics for the average recreational pilot will end badly eventually.

When you buy a new GPS, the first thing the manual says is WARNING - NOT TO BE USED FOR PRIMARY NAVIGATION - USE AS BACKUP AS AN AID TO DEAD RECKONING..... or something very similar. As others have said, why the objection to learning basic navigation?

And Rob, what do you do when the electrics fail in remote country, and your Charts are in the Car?

Ian you are 100% correct and the GPS will only display GPS derived GROUND SPEED not IAS!

I picked up a Lexmar portable pack from Sportys in the USA which has 4 USB Ports and does not interfere with my Radio. Wasn't cheap at $119.95 but the Reviews are good and it does the job. Search Ipad Power and Sportys Pilot shop USA for full details

Plus you could probably sell the Serviceable bits like Radio and instruments from the wreck!

Cut your losses, and buy another one. I noticed a really nice 230 on the Classified section of this Website recently!

Too late i'm afraid..... was looking forward to a relaxed day there friday and leave on Sat before the airshow.

Hi Storchy, how many Aircraft do you reckon have arrived?......Weather in Sydney hopeless!

Their is a very good Review and comparison between Bose and Lightspeed on the Sportys Pilot shop usa website.

Yes i've had mine for 6 weeks and am very happy!

Good point Derek....Pindan,do you carry Hull Insurance ?.......

Yes, be careful, if it's LSA you may void the C of A. I would refer to the Factory for guidance

Why not just ask Jabiru?

A good point. I think a lot of Pilots will wait till the last minute to study the weather and buy tickets on arrival. Would be good if the Airventure Website made it clear on the situation for pre paid tickets unable to be used due to weather.

I agree Frank, that's the numbers I get most of the time!

Ive also asked the same question in the past........no luck Have you asked Jabiru?

Arrival info is now up on the Website.

Has anyone seen arrival info for those coming by aircraft? Last few years the Website had instructions and maps for Parking etc. Less than 2 weeks to go and can't see anything yet.

Where is the info about CASA putting CTA on the back burner? I haven't read anything about this.
