    I think I will drop one in place of my worst Cig lighter socket. Only need one if I have the charging covered. Need the other one for my Ag GPS.

    Is the double plate a Kyle mod?

    What about Andrew Broad? He ought to be some use on aviation issues, don't think he will be commenting on same sex marriage again soon, might give him something to come back with.

    What is the panel mount USB charger?

    I got an extra one from out local Jaycar and it was about as good as the ICP one. With the earth on the nut they need to be tight but don't seem capable.

    Does the nit part of a panel cigarette lighter socket only strip if it is over tightened or is it just part of el-chinese manufacture. Has anyone got a supplier for real lighter socket fittings. If you bump the charger adapter it jumps the thread on the socket.

    Who will ever know if he doesn't have to cough up the data used to inform their decision to restrict Jab operations.

    Now we have just have to get Barnaby up to speed too and things are going to start happening. I don't care what colour your politics is, if that performance by your elected representative, representing your issues to your regulator didn't impress you, you are fairly hard to please.

    It would be good if we still had our annual show case event Natfly. It would have made a great platform to blood and educate the virgin minister.

    Carrying a spare is all very lovely, but if you have a glass filter failure in flight it is going play havoc with your fuel planning. Agricultural maybe a better overall solution and trust that you get to burn all the fuel you carry instead of losing it enroute, even if you can't see it going to work. .

    When the tanks are mounted with the filler necks together, one dipstick doesn't measure the same in each tank, the outer tank has unfillable volume because of the dihedral of the wing. Another reason to install them like the factory built ones with the fillers outboard of the tank.

    Another real likelihood is that the thief was after the motor bikes he thought were in the trailer. One of my daughters connections had his bike stolen a few years ago in Brisbane, and it was recovered in the Hunter Valley during a drug bust. They stole it for a quick drop off vehicle that could make a quick get away cross country.

    Hang around the local moto cross tracks and it will turn up, minus the trike which will probably turn up in a gully somewhere.

    The last couple of additions need to be only two litres then one litre, near the top of the tank following the wing profile. You need to isolate the tank being calibrated too or some of your volume will escape to the other side tank.

    That sign up banner is annoying!

    Does the hole face into the air flow then to give you your positive pressure in the tanks? That could work the same as the angle cut on the bottom of the supplied fuel breather tubes.

    But at least you will no longer have to stay under take-off weight and you will never run low on fuel again.

    "Development on the first speedster began in 2000 for an airplane named CEA-308. Unfortunately, the project was halted when the Rotax engine failed and the airplane suffered damage. But in 2007, the project was revived. Modifications were made, and a Jabiru 2200 engine was installed. The stock engine was not new, and it was later discovered that one cylinder was leaking." This was all a bit unfortunate!

    Western churches need an ongoing supply of money, these ones work on a good supply of money and martyrs.

    Watching video from inside the cabin after the explosion. Would have been interesting when the passengers all moved to the rear of the cabin to move away from the hole in the fuselage. Need to re-trim the Savannah if you move your feet, always thought cabin staff stopped mass passenger movements around the cabin but not in Africa, fairly lucky there weren't that many on the flight.

    All Savannah kits have a return line. some older ones only have one fuel sight gauge. The corrugated silver pipes are for your water pipes and in newer kits also the oil cooler pipes up around the engine installation.

    Looks fairly comfortable as a garden ornament.
