  1. RAA members market (Aviation Classifieds) is down to 8 aircraft for sale. I've never seen so few.
  2. I am confident those who know a bit about Jabiru do recognise and appreciate the ongoing contribution made by Rod and many others including their current team who are always very helpful and open with advice and support which is mostly reciprocated by supporting the factory. Nothing wrong with trying to save a few bucks by hunting around. Nothing Jabiru sell is gold plated when compared with Rotax Continental or Lycoming which is something we easily loose sight of sometimes, that is just how spoilt we are by this local product.

    J170D Production

    Still competitive with what else is around, at about $132k USD a 430/230 is in a class of its own. A great aircraft to fly as well.

    The 120c had a price tag of around $54k in about 2008 as I recall.
  5. I am curious to know as well, we were having a similar discussion at our hangar today on this very subject.
  6. Just want to give a plug (pun intended) to an Australian business who are very helpful and competitive with the supply of spark plugs. I am not associated with them in any way however I and others in our hangar buy D9ea Jabiru plugs from them as they are cheap, if you find a better price they will beat it by 5% which they do honor. No postage charged on orders over $49. https://www.sparkplugsdirect.com.au/ If you have any suppliers who have great prices on other consumables let us know.
  7. Just an update...the bolts were 4mm hex head...rodknee was all over this and picked it, phoned me the other night ...Thanks. So for the record CAMit 40a alternator backplate cover screws are automotive 4mm hex head 20mm.
  8. That's exactly what will happen, they will be with the exhaust springs which are also missing! Definitely only securing the cover but thanks for the heads up Thats where Ill be when they open in the morning ...thanks
  9. During routine maintenance I have misplaced the 3 backplate fastening bolts from the CAMit 40a alternator. Hopefully someone has an idea about what bolts I need.
  10. Check out the green in the picture with the Ivanhoe to Menindee road through the middle. A change from my usual blue sky red/dirt pictures from out this way which are the usual state of affairs in the Far West of NSW.
  11. AUSTRALIAN GENERAL AVIATION ALLIANCE has published a document supporting medical reform with a cut and paste option for CASA survey questions which speak to supporting an urgent reform of the system. Interesting read. https://aopa.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/AGAA-Pilot-Medical-Reform-Proposal-2022.pdf?fbclid=IwAR2vfC3ehXbwgAZSyQPgn6eNMGWjTu4cDVR8X95AstB4GWaBlLl3KAZHInE
