We had to pull out unfortunately, weather was too rough on Saturday to fly over from Gawler, we were planning to stay over. Next time!!

If you are interested in catching up my mobile is 0412 221 469. I'll be there on Sunday.

Look for the people in the blue Adelaide Soaring Club caps, that will be us. Assuming we can get there, weather is not looking too good.

Hope to make it, at this stage 4 aircraft are flying in from Gawler.

Very steep, our Foxbat rents for $130 hr wet and the CTLS $140 hr wet..Both are very new aircraft.

Our club is as follows for club members wet hire.

$124 J-170

$124 FK9

$147 J230

WOW - $ 457 per annum sub ................ sounds like a golf clubgympie aero club takes the view that they would rather have the person rather than the money (only $ 60 / annum sub) (the club gets income from hangar fees so the sub is not critical for funds)

What's everyone's thoughts on paying $220/h Private hire for a 1000h+ j230? Bit steep hey!Would $180/h sound closer to the going rate?

Well done, it is a great feeling

Yeah it is good around here only 10 minutes too both

 

Thank you

 

I'm training at gawler at the moment in a Jabiru 170 only 10 hours in but I'm really enjoying it

Just found the updated release here: CASA 65/16 - Conditions and direction concerning certain aircraft fitted with engines manufactured by Jabiru Aircraft Pty Ltd

Valid til june 2019

CASA 65/16 - Conditions and direction concerning certain aircraft fitted with engines manufactured by Jabiru Aircraft Pty Ltd

Anyone know of any updates on this restriction? It is due to expire in 3 weeks. All seems to have gone quiet.

$180 dual. Sticker price was $5k for 30 hours over 1 year to get certificate. It was a bit less with a 0.1 hour discount here and there. Jabiru J120. Tasmania.

 

How much is club membership? The instructor only makes $13 / hour?

We also have a theory instructor who donates his time.

J170 Dual Instruction is $137 and solo is $124 for club members, at Gawler, SA

This will be an interesting discussion. Sure there is many views. Near adelaide, there is many private strips and strips not on the map, in amongst strips on the map using 126.7. So for them to be talking on different frequencies will make it interesting. Let alone more congestion on Adelaide Centre for the incoming flights.

Ok this looks a goer so I will get on to the developer to do it. I am guessing about 4 weeks before a beta but I will keep you all informed.First milestone will be requirements created...Thur 28th April

Can the mobile app link into data on this site? that way it can be updated from the app and on a PC too?

Good spot for clubs to put in fly in details, events, ect.

Like the idea of it. Ozrunways does some of this already, but as you stated, you are after a free service. The trouble would be keeping it updated with relevant information.

A few things to add would be

- airstrips next to towns / very short walk

- Airstrips within xx distance / time from your departure airfield (ie want to go for an hour flight somewhere)

- Type of fuel available

Cheers

I think she may notice it!! But if you can get away with it, why not!!

Sad times indeed Tim, I'll be the same when the Bulldog finally goes. Not planned as yet but I'll see how the Explorer turns out, nothing but awesome I reckon. I remember when I picked up the Bulldog the previous owner couldn't hang around when the container doors were closed and sealed. I feel one gets more attached to an airplane than a car.On a brighter note, 4 - 500 mtr for your new airstrip is cool but couldn't you make it 600 haha! Only joking.

New hanga and airstrip! you have some work ahead of you. Maybe some flyins and working bee's would help.

Sad day tim, but excited to hear about your project in the works. And that is a massive Hanger. How did you get that approved (My finance manager / boss would never approve of that)

Completely co-incidental: ( and I am in NO WAY suggesting that this accident was the result of pilot error in not knowing how to handle spins): the Darling Downs Soaring Club has set up a 'Spin Awareness Clinic for Power Pilots' scheme:http://www.ddsc.org.au/spin-clinics The brochure looks as if it's a pretty good programme.

Having just been on the one at ASC, very much worth it.

I have also enquired about the plane, I am waiting to see a copy of the maintenance logs before I proceed any further.

Worked well for me on the weekend on latest ios 9.3

Change is good, but everyone needs to be open minded to it.

I think if we can do this right, it would bring positive change.

Here's the pictures of the gaps that I have left under the capstrips, top and bottom. Its the best way I could come up with to keep the fabric stitches all uniform.The stitching will be spaced at 80 mm even across the fuel tanks.

I have a few days away again and when back I hope to get into the covering.
