  1. Hi Jg, Is he a Jack Russell? If he is, they make terrible back seat drivers:hittinghead: He looks a bit like my bloke!
  2. I agree with qwerty re the second video. None of the passengers would ever want to fly again, and that is pretty sad!
  3. Hey Tomo, you'll have to cut back on the flying. You're enjoying yourself too much!!! Great photos bloke! Best Regards and Merry Christmas from Bob:clap:
  4. Der Furer got a little bent out of shape....shades of Dr Evil!
  5. They can't do that Bilby. It creates the illusion that they are making Australia a safer place and besides, it's a good money spinner!
  6. Bring back Tex Johnson!
  7. Hi Jim, you will be pretty good on cross wind landings at this rate. :clap:best regards, Bob
  8. Hi Ben, We have a J170 at Caboolture Recreational Aviation. You could book a flight there Thursday to Sunday. The school is closing for a few weeks over Christmas and New Year. Regards, Bob

    Metric Jabiru

    Probably the nuts and bolts on the battery leads. All others appear to be AF although I think there may be a BSW or two as well. Cheers, Bob
  10. Hi Duncan, I live on the northside and it takes about 40 minutes to get to Caboolture. Hangar space may be a bit of a problem close to Brisbane. BTW I think I know what RTFM means. I used to install telephone systems and required company assistance. They replied RTFM! Asking for clarification on that, they replied "Read the Fujitsu Manual" Cheers Bob
  11. You cannot get closer than that and still talk about it!

    J160 oil comsumption

    Hi Rob, Our J160 has about 350 hrs on the engine and would use about the same as yours. Some of the folks who use it, tend to top the oil up to the top mark and some of that finds it way into the overflow bottle and along the underside of the plane. I think that halfway between the upper and lower marks is about right. The problem is that the sump capacity is pretty small to start with, so many folks like to fill her up to the top mark to be sure! Regards, Bob
  13. Hello Poppy, Congratulations, it is always nice to have another little aviator brought into world:clap: Best Regards, Bob
  14. Hello Raymar, Greetings and welcome to the site.
  15. Hi Tom, You have come a long way in such a short time. Good on ya mate. Is that your new J160 in the photo:laugh: Cheers, Bob
  16. Awesome video, loved the beach takeoff. Regards, Bob
  17. Hi Tomo, Real nice machine, almost as cool as the Jabiru! It looks similar to the one that was delivered to MAF recently. Regards, Bob
  18. Hi Brigalow Bloke, Welcome aboard, hope you find some wings soon!
  19. So much for soaring with eagles.....atleast turkeys don't collide with props or get sucked into jet intakes:laugh::hittinghead:
  20. Hi Major, I have often wondered what would happen to a wooden prop from a bird strike. At Caboolture there are on occasions, huge flocks of "dump ducks" and I see a few dead ones that have come to close to the fan, but I haven't seen the results to the prop as yet. Birds are an ever present hazard at YCAB because of the landfill tip. If the tip wasn't there, we would probably have a housing estate instead! Regards, Bob
  21. Hi Doc, Warmest welcome to the site. Hope you can find a suitable RA Flying School. I am semi retired, looking forward to the real thing. Hope your retirement goes well for you. Regards, Bob
  22. Hi Tiger, Forget the business and focus on the pleasure. Then again, sometimes it can be a pleasure doing business!!! Regards, Bob
