  1. Set it at what is published for airport or area and we should all be ok, without the headache And at worst case look at your iPad or phone and go with it.
  2. Speaking of Bex, does anyone know if he is OK and where his build is up too.
  3. Had a short run from Somerton to Baraba today, took a NZ farmhand for his first light plane ride. I aborted my first take off when I wasn’t accelerating enough, first time doing it for real and didn’t stuff it up, I was just off the ground and not gaining speed. I know what my error was, a little too keen to get airborne with back pressure. My passenger took it well and didn’t ask to hop out. I went back uphill to the start, held the brakes a bit longer and was correctly airborne in half the distance. the rest of the flight went excellent. Nice walk into Baraba for a coffee, then a run around the mural on the silos, Manila at 1000 feet agl over Lake Keepit from one end to the other at around 700 agl and onto the farm strip. a great day and a new friend made.
  4. I think the unemployed, a friend of mine bought a new shotgun and has so far banked about 6k extra and spent nothing on going nowhere. I had to spend $4k with the accountant to get some business help, and I think we get taxed on the income, so less than a third of it lands in your hand to pay the things it was for. Almost like a save the African children campaign.
  5. Busy looking day there, was it Tower of Babel stuff on the radio?
  6. I’m glad I live in northern inland nsw. We just crossed border tonight in 1 minute with our passes and questions if we had been in Sydney or vic latel.
  7. Hi Jack, good quality diesel heaters like the dometic one are safe, their intake and exhaust are outside, only air over the head fins heats the van. fitted probably 100 of them now, I don’t like the gas ones by truma, exhaust and inlet are inside and prone to leaking if installed poorly. They do cut off f intake breathes fumes from exhaust inside the intake tube. Cheap Chinese copies should be avoided, they are poorly done with no safety features. One customers read 190c on the heating outlet when I tested out of curiosity last week. That will melt clothes, shoes etc, and burn you if not careful.
  8. It’s noticeably more taxing under The hood, I always felt exhausted after doing it. I found out my artificial horizon is a little out, if I keep level with it I end up in a slight turn which needs correction every 5 minutes.
  9. I would like to. I will work extremely hard to get a leave pass for me and the 182.
  10. Just waiting to be sucked into that Rolls Royce engine and spat out the back like a bug
  11. Extremely envious, I one day hope to have a chance to aero tour. The trip looks awesome.
  12. I find cheap LED’s in caravans lead to bad tv and radio interference which we don’t need in aeroplanes. Good ones swapped over fix the problem. Narva marine LED’s are nice and bright, and have aerodynamic shape for tip mounting, might be an optio.
  13. One lucky flyer. Looks champion lunch and scenery. I miss WA. I would love to fly Carnarvon area, only ever low flybys in the Charger when I lived there.
  14. Maybe holidays at home will become the norm for now,Well at least until we forget how good we have it.
  15. Hi SteveD, Welcome from another 182 owner, bought mine then learnt to fly it to gain my RPL for access to controlled fields and longer trips with more pax. I love getting air time in it when Wx and work permits cheers clinton
  16. RAA members have access for free through members portal, not sure if that gives replay for month or just the live stream from 10am EST cheers clinton
  17. Home | Paul Bennet Airshows | "The Complete Airshow Experience" I hope this works, I have never copied a link before. Not super savvy on computer, I learnt basic in 80's at school-no idea how code reads now. click on livestream and part with $10.00 and you get a digital pass with replay ability for a month after. cheers Clinton
  18. I found that on my bfr jaunt a few weeks ago I pushed the nose over instant when instructor cut power RA habit, then turned for field. Some how I find the power off landings unusually tidier than touch and go’s. Maybe because I subconsciously know I don’t have the go around to fix it. I hope if I ever need it for real that the same happens.?
  19. How is the build going Bex. Has lockdown stopped things in your part of the world?
  20. How many have seen that we have an air show this weekend, online but still going to be flying. I’m looking forward to the live version again, but will take what I can get. check out Paul Bennett Airshows for access.
  21. If only they knew the satisfaction it brings.
  22. It’s like tweety bird if he was an aeroplane?
