Can I drive in and watch? Will be in the area.

Yeh pretty sure you can, As far as I know its open to the public. People were asking if ok for caravans and were told no worries,

Yeh few of us from Boonah going.

It was a great send off for Dave, The boys did him proud with a formation Fly-By & took several of Dave's family members for rides in the Stearman & Moth. The L-39 was impressive. Dave will be sadly missed. We have lost a Great Pilot/Teacher & a mate. RIP Dave.

We are considering a trip to Oshkosh maybe this year but more than likely next, Have been looking at RV hire sites (RV Share)with many offering delivery to site, Anyone have any experience with this & is this allowed at Oshkosh?

I would not buy that. The second pressure gauge should have the same markings as the input pressure gauge. We dont use % in aviation, it is always just a number eg 65 over 80. Manufacturers will specify a minimum number. 

 

The one RFguy linked above is the one to get. It has two identical gauges and the correct orifice.  

Ahh good to know, Cheers Thruster

Thanks for all the info guys, Found this on a Aussie site but doesn't say what size the orifice is but I will call them.

Loving this thing, 15hrs up staying close to home patch(Boonah) to get comfortable with it, Hasn't skipped a beat now time to start branching out to distant places.

Thinking on buying a leakdown tester and compression tester so can do own servicing, What capacity/ minimum PSI compressor is needed?. Also the Savannah manual says the compression(Differential pressure gauge) should be checked at the 25hrs service, Read somewhere it was every 200hrs? Previous owner had Annual done at 571hrs then leakdown done at 592hrs for condition report (1) 76/80 (2) 74/80 (3) 78/80 (4) 76/80 Aircraft currently at 621hrs. Cheers

There was a white XL coming up for sale at Mackay.  PM your contact and I'll pass on his details.  Engine R ULS 100hp less than 400 hours I think.

 

Cheers m8, PM sent.

Hey all, Anyone got a Savannah thinking about selling, Prefer 912ULS & VG/XL. Talking with 2 owners at moment, 1 in SA other Townsville. Just asking incase something around closer to home, Boonah SE Qld. Cheers Marty

Further to my last post, I have the earlier version of it, specifically built for the Ipad Mini.

I dont use it anymore, as I prefer Suction Cup RAM Attachment.

PM me if you are interested in purchasing, $50 plus postage.

Will send photo if you wish.

Yeh send a pic m8, I read that the mini version will take the 10inch also.

Thanks Arron, Will check them out. Cheers

Hey guys, Anyone seen any stores in Australia who sell these? Is Flight Gear iPad Bi-Fold Kneeboard Have googled but cant find any in Aust. Or any recommendation of something similar?

Glad their both ok, I was at the Boonah Fly-in as well but cant recall a yellow Tigermoth there, Looked through all my photos but didn't see one. There was a silver one with yellow stripes.

There is a meeting being organised between the  AOPA and Scenic Rim Council to discuss future of Boonah Airfield.

Hey all, Have posted link to a Beaudesert Times article regarding to proposal to close the airfield at Boonah in the Scenic Rim QLD. There is also a Save Boonah Airfield FaceBook page looking to obtain signatures for an online petition to fight the closure. Admin if this is not allowed please delete.

Hi Jarrath, Member P4D sent me a copy a couple of years ago but I lost it when my old computer died, If he,s still around he may still have a copy. Cheers

Had a 40 minute flight with the wife from Boonah checking out Lake Moogerah, Slightly bumpy day but beautiful place to fly. It was the first time since 1986 the Wife and I had flown together, Slightly nervous but said she enjoyed it. Ran into Danny_galaga for brief chat so good day allround. Cheers

Very sad to lose a loved one, Condolences to his family & friends.
