boleropilot Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 goodonya Greg, your 'refurb' looks like the perfect opportunity to go over the lil' beasty from top to bottom - any chance of a close-up pic of your tailwheel addition? btw, it looks like there is an old 406 EPIRB strapped to the side of the cockpit - fyi, the GME600G (GPS version) is about $300 on eBay, the non GPS version is about $50 cheaper (don't see the point for $50, actually) cheers m8 BP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M61A1 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 goodonya Greg, your 'refurb' looks like the perfect opportunity to go over the lil' beasty from top to bottom - any chance of a close-up pic of your tailwheel addition?btw, it looks like there is an old 406 EPIRB strapped to the side of the cockpit - fyi, the GME600G (GPS version) is about $300 on eBay, the non GPS version is about $50 cheaper (don't see the point for $50, actually) cheers m8 BP I replaced a TX GME with this...smaller, lighter, cheaper, and higher spec.

boleropilot Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 yeah good pick M6, I'll be getting the same one - looks like you could attach it to the seatbelt - I like the idea of activation as soon as you make the pan/mayday call - just in case you're unable to do so after the 'landing'...you can always turn it off and notify authorities asap if all good BP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M61A1 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 They also do this one if you have a boat, and want to use one device. KTI Safety Alert SA1G EPIRB with GPS Both are Australian made and have a ten year battery life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boleropilot Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 thanks M6 - I'll make a decision after I get my XC endorsement - hey Greg, do you have a Drifter close by you can use for checking anything against your aircraft? if not let me know if you need any dimensions or photos. cheers BP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boleropilot Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 G'day Greg, how's the resto going m8? I'm close to getting my refurbed prop back, still trying to source a set of throttle cables. Hoping to be in the air again by the end of June? BP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
