When I joined RAA (at Canberra headquarters) :clap:they asked if I wanted to buy a log book at the same time. This made sense.

When I got into the plane to read all my new exciting paperwork I was dissapointed when I saw the log book.thumb_down It's a real crummy cheap layout, especially when I compare it with my old gliding log, which had lots of space for lots of info & notes.

So my question is - can I remove the pages of this log book & paste them into another more substantial one:question:

Thanks

H

Try Googling Manfrotto Clamp

Hey Thomo, the 230 is a bit like a dead duck :yuk: when you forget to get those flaps up, trust me...

Surprised you didn't comment on the extra amount of rudder required on take off compared to the smaller powered Jabs :big_grin:

Love the sound of that 6 cylinder engine though:ecstatic:

A car GPS that does off Road is the Hema one. Basically a Navman with Oziexplorer built into the system.

I would imagine you could load your maps in for flying, easily. Bit expensive I think, so...

I did a Slarti with my Mio. I run it off an SD card so no corruption of the primary Mio software/system. Great as an off road GPS & if I purchased some VNCs, WACs it would work a treat - just got to get flying again to try it.

I booked a site at the Temora Airfeild Tourist Park yesterday. Sites only at this park, seems they are still available for easter. I have camped there overnight before, they have good facilities including a good camp kitchen. Recommended.Bookings can be made by telephoning the caretaker on 02 9878-0255 during business hours or 0418 780 251 after hours

:confused: I tried ringing that number & it just rang out. :idea:Used the mobile & booked in that way but was told the number should read: 02 6978 0255 :thumb_up:

Hope I got it right :big_grin:

Ok here is the Grumman Avenger.

Makes great noises :big_grin:

Cowra Videos

Couple of Videos from Cowra.

First is just a general walk about

When I get time I'll do one of the Avenger flying past making BIG beautiful noises

Cheers

H

Damn! :gaah:Didn't realise there was another thread.

Maybe my post could be moved over:question:

H

Moved - Ian

I enjoyed my time at Cowra.:jump: Weather was good, people very friendly & knowledgable.

Met up with Facthunter & Slarti but no other forum members.

Build quality of the experimental aircraft was beautiful to perfection.:thumb_up:

Brumby factory tour was great. Impressive quality & attitude to their company product. They are building a prototype high wing version.

It uses same rear section of the current Brumby.

Some pictures below:cool_shades:

Brumby High wing prototype

Go to classifieds on left main menu.

You may need to log in.

Then go to the classifieds menu up top under the banner.

New layout is good from there

Hope that helps

Hey JG,

Another fabulous story & adventure. Keep them coming.

You Savvy blokes have all the fun.

I just wish Tatslotto would come my way then I'd be into it to.

Cheers

H

:big_grin: Out of interest I ran the Mio native Navigation & it happily provides correct time once GPS is locked in. (unlike when I go straight to Mio Pocket)

Then I plugged the SD card in & correct time followed through to Mio Pocket system, so started Ozi & all was good.

Still got me baffled though..... .... Seems that Ozi isn't sending correct time to the system?????? Oh well, it's only a minor inconvenience.

H

That sounds like a flat CMOS battery or bad hardware. Try getting on to Mio support.

Ta

H

Cool Mr H.Under File -> Configuration -> General Setting, on the "Other" tab, have you got "Auto Set Time" checked?

Also, in the Mio under windows settings (not in Ozi) make sure the time is right and set to the right time zone.

 

That's all I can think of.

Unfortunately I've done all that but when I switch it off, it loses the plot when switched back on.

No worries, I'll just have to remember to set the time before I open up Oziexplorer.:Disappointed:

Cheers

H

:beg:Gday Slarti,

I've done the deed to my Mio & all is great (Good for 4WD navigating too!)

Only question I have is setting the time.

Once the GPS finds it's location the year & date are good but the time is always wrong :scratch head: & I have to manually set it.

Any clues to get around this?:ne_nau:

Thanks

H

Driving there

I,m planning to drive up.

Anyone from Eastern Melbourne (TDN,LIL,CEM??) or on the route there who are flying up & would like to off load some luggage, PM me to see if it can work out.

Leaving 17th, back either the Sun or Mon.

Cheers

Hi MrH,I was thinking about the gliding bit. At lilydale, at least 20 years ago, the final was pretty long as you had to turn from the power lines to keep the residents happy. i would be surprised if the glide would be possible from that height / distance. I remember dragging VH-BZA (B C D) all the way in, I doubt the 160 would be much better.

I wounder if the local conditions lead to different training practice ie the long final the hills to the west and coldstream airfield to the south east.

 

Given the time from your first post how do you find the training now?

 

Chris

Hi Chird65,

It was 28 years ago when I last did gliding & all of that was at Narromine.

GraemeK has anwered your first question beautifully. :thumb_up: By the way the circuits were R/H to runway 18.

As for my flying... Its been on hold since January :Disappointed: (I wrote the post after that flight).

I'm recovering from an operation & don't yet feel fit enough to fly again:ecstatic:. Hopefully soon & I imagine it will be very much like starting from scratch :DirtDOG:

Cheers H
