  1. Email from Jabiru states " for the present the Draft Consultative paper is not effective"......or words to that effect.
  2. ThN Thanks for that. Interesting. I think everyone needs to chill out and wait and see. Seems ridiculous that cannot depart Bankstown and not be able to find SOMEWHERE to land!.....
  3. So, in the case of a licensed RAA Pilot Cert Holder, you cannot take a non crew passenger AND you cannot operate from a Capital City GA Airport such ad Bankstown, Archerfield eg . Is t
  4. But doesnt the Proposal affect ALL Jab engined Aircraft, not just RAA registrations?
  5. Life wasnt meant to be easy!.....what sort of complications?
  6. Don hypothetically, if the Jab engine was replaced by a Rotax as you describe above, my Aircraft could still be operated in the 24 Category and problem solved if the proposal came into being??
  7. So, to replace it with a Rotex engine would solve the problem?
  8. I am currenty overseas and just reading all this with limited access to Internet. Has there been any mention of a date that this might come into effect at all?
  9. And what about RAA-Aus Factory built models?
  10. Just read all this and am a bit confused. I bought my new Factory built Jab in March this year. Am I correct in saying that if this Draft Proposal goes through, I cannot take a non pilot passenger with me on any flight?, or is the Propsal only for Amateur built Aircraft. Mine is RA- Aus registered. Appreciate clarification. I operate from Bankstown in Sydney.
  11. Mate i started flying the J170 recently after many years of GA flying in Cessnas and Warriors and yes it is different but very satisfying. The Landing does take some getting used to, and you will find it does float, but ive found if you can nail the speed as per the book, and get the Control inputs right, it will fly itself! Where are you flying from? Regards, Roscoe
  12. yep I am still on iOS6 and leaving it there!
  13. Apparently my iphone4 cannot be updated to ios8 so will leave as is which works fine
  14. Im I am in Paris at the moment and no probs vibering to Sydney, good Wi fi at my Hotel though. But reluctant to update iPhone to ios8
  15. I just upgraded to ios8 on my iPad and wish I hadn't. I used to be able to double click to delete icons running in the background but can't seem to do that anymore. Also the home screen looks different and cheap. I think I will leave my iPhone 4 where it is and can't understand why the iOS 8 upgrade made it all look so different!

    I purchased my J-170 new in March this year andhave had excellent Customer service from Jabiru
  17. Hi all, the problem I was having on transmit was due to poor crimping at antenna connection to radio plus low battery voltage at start up. No probs since both these issues addressed.
  18. Thanks Bruce. Yes gentle application of brakes fixes it
