Jabiru advertised the larger tyres on their website months ago. They sold them to me. They have approved them.

Back to tyres, Jabiru do offer a larger 10 ply tyre which I have purchased but not fitted yet. Will try out at next tyre change.

Maybe, but the reason many went from GA to RAA was due to the onerous expensive medical requirements for GA, and the ageing GAA fleet

Correct, but the problem is, once you get your RAA Cert, you CANT THEN FLY IN controlled airspace unless you have a CASA licence and medical! This topic has been discussed over and over and is why RAA is working on controlled airspace privilages for RAA Cert holders

I am currenly in Oshkosh and saw them demonstrating this item. I believe the $299 is USD!

All my items online cone from the USA. The freight cost is horendous but at least the goods arrive and come with a tracking number.

And sticks to sidewall with velcro. No probs so far

I have one. Got one from Sportys Pilot shop in the USA, They are under ANR Control Holder on their website custom made for the major brands. Works fine but not cheap! $40 USD

My friend sold his aircraft and intended to resume flying when he acquired another so reverted to non flying status

Cheaper rate and continue to receive the news items etc

A friend of mine was in a similar situation with a lapsed BFR. He changed his RAA membership to a NON FLYING member and was able to keep his Pilot Cert. Call RAA to confirm your situation, I am sure they want to keep you on their books.

And thats exactly why i chucked out my Microair 2 years ago and replaced it with a Trig VHF com.

I woukd also recommend the Icom ICA16.

The Website says no prob if no asic! They have made arrangements for those flying in without ASICS

Yeah those local Jabs you refer to are the early smaller models which have smaller tyres and operate mainly from grass. The 160, 170 and 230 Jabs have the larger tyres with higher pressures.

My Jabiru 170D is placarded 45psi for the mains and 30 for the nose. MTOW 600kg

I have the Dynon D2 forerunner to the D3 and it does everything i need. Have no need for AofA indicator. Much cheaper option than built in display and ideal for vfr ops. What additional features do you need or want?

If the Pilot has a PPL or higher and casa Medical and the airplane has radio and transponder then ok CTA experience is assumed.

I saw Ray at Camden airport a few days ago. There is also a Sign on his Hangar WEDGETAIL AIRCRAFT

Buy them from Jabiru, support local Industry. And Jabiru will supply you with an Invoice which is handy and may be useful for a warranty claim. Same day shipping and advice if required.

You will find the vertical Card type much easier to read in any sort if turbulence. Downside is the cost to purchase and install. I have always wanted a vertical card compass but cant justify the cost when thinking about the amount of time actually LOOKING at the compass. My compass is located at the top of the winsdshield and very difficult to read in any sort of glare.

Yes I have a friend who has a 160 and his Punkin Head Cover runs right up to and under the prop and also goes right down under the doors. Cant get out to take a pic due lockdown.

And thats exactly what i do!

Not at present. PM me if you like and happy to discuss.

And the video from my gopro hero4 is excellent!
