    There was a lot of radio traffic around WeeWaa and Goondiwindi this morning. Sad to know one of us didn't get home.

    With a systematically disarmed population sparely distributed, and an underfunded defence force we will be powerless to stop them stepping off from their string of Pacific naval bases and taking what we have!

    They are NSW rural fire service bureaucrats. The blokes who do the actual work wear blue or yellow shirts and yellow coats!

    Did you try in an adjustable seat model or the original seat layout. I am a long bodied 189cm and fit quite comfortably in the standard seat. We fitted a 6' 9" bloke in an XL at Bundaberg airshow. He had more head space than I do but was a bit tight around his knees under the dashboard. Adjustable bucket seats are a whole different story!

    And hope I never will perhaps? Who knows how any of us will react until the fan goes off and the temperature rises

    The Flightaware track looked like two uneventful circuits followed but a wider circuit and a premature turn mid base leg before the trace ceased.

    One of the reports I read said he crashed on landing.

    The Loctite superglue GEL is better because it fills the spaces under the base and they don't peel off so easily. The nozzle is not hard to use with the Gel.

    I had failed to lodge my latest flight plan so I had to ring her to rectify.

    But the headset can do it so you must do it! That is how tech works. The call was important anyway, it was my wife!

    I already have an iPhone but I hate it! Going to move my sim over and try it though. I like Ozrunways much more than I liked RWY so I may have to make the move so I have backup, or I will have to buy a hybrid subscription.

    I use Zulu 2 headsets with my Xcom radio and I like the call priority function so I have no intention of turning it off. My problem is that the incoming calls on my Samsung phone are nearly muted when the radio is receiving but the level of the call doesn't come back up when the radio call finishes. Any clues?

    Bill Owen consultant emailed me on Monday and has been very communicative since. I think I have made sufficient disclosures to expect a quote in the next couple of days.

    A bloke I have learnt a lot from always say 'if it looks strong enough, it is already too heavy!'

    Has anyone had any response from Bill Owen insurance brokers lately? I made an enquiry last week and got no response.

    Surely it is reasonable to insure a home built plane for more than component cost, I am about to put $80,000 on my un-flown Savannah S. I would think that under insurance is more likely to lead to disappointment if your low insured value is further reduced by a factor for under insurance in the event of a write off.

    The more you have, the more the lawyers go for, particularly the No Win No Fee variety!

    With PBS curiously 80,000 hull cover has the same premium as 67,350 does, there seems to be tiers of premium and sweet spots with in the tiers.

    Would this use the peer to peer sharing function? I have done a bit with Android RWY but biting the bullet and getting a cellular ipad, just looking at sharing it onto the older wifi ipad for the passenger.
  22. rankamateur
    Has anybody worked out how to share the GPS position of the cellular ipad running ozrunways to the passengers wifi ipad?

    Are you going to cut a sunroof too so you can stand up and see where you arte taxiing?

    ICP never stand still. Always improving. Must be hard for them to manage the parts inventory though.

    And with that one mention of rivnuts in this private forum I am now getting sponsored ads for rivnuts tools in my Facebook feed. How does that work? Was it the fact that I thought about the word or the fact that I typed the word?
