How has COVID 19 affected your flying or intended flying
CrayonBox replied to SSCBD's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
Exactly. I and others want this to be clear, we believe we can fly with social distancing rules but want to monitor the legality. It is exercise physically and for the mind after all. -

Fraser Coast (Hervey Bay & Maryborough) landing frees
CrayonBox replied to snarf007's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
Hi Scott, I heard before Christmas something very interesting.... But time will tell. 1. First though - you are right. Less flying seems to be the council agenda - wouldn't want to promote possible business and tourism opportunity around here. 2. The new fuel bowser was out of action but 'should' be working again now - AvGas. 3. The Maryborough airport is a historical WW2 training site - it can not or will not (or will it?) be removed or developed. Now the big one... 4. Blocks were being sold as an airpark on the opposite side of the runway from the hangers - but this is now not the case. Allegedly, the reason being that the Federal Government stepped in and told the local council they cannot sell or use this land this way as it was not 'theirs' to sell/use - it is Federal, and it will stay as it is! What a joke and waste of tax payers money - again. -
Hi All - We are trying to track down this plane and owner - Your assistance would be very appreciated. Savannah reg 19-7747. Maybe get him to contact me here. Thank you!

Fraser Coast (Hervey Bay & Maryborough) landing frees
CrayonBox replied to snarf007's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
After chasing down some information, it turns out the camping area is no longer free, you must be fully self sufficient (toilet shower water supply etc), and therefore camping in tents is prohibited. There goes the idea of a fly-in weekend, but I will keep looking at options. I fly a trike in and out of Maryborough - no sign of a Landing fee as yet. -

"MARYBOROUGH WILL BE BACK ON THE MAP." Hi Ironpot. My trike lives at YMYB, and I try to fly weekly. The fuel was very recently recommissioned and is yet to be discovered by many pilots. (Only Avgas unfortunately). Facilities also include free camping area at the airport, toilets next to the exit entry gate, a takeaway shop across the road, and a short walk to town. Mogas is just up the road at BP. Taxis are available too of course. I have recently became our Aeroclub Club Captain, and am in charge of advising members of fly-ins and activities to entertain our aviating passions. An idea I am currently hatching is an annual long weekend (Labour weekend?) camping fly-in to YMYB, where you can camp 1 or 2 days, fly the area around Fraser etc, and enjoy others company. The aero club may even be keen to cater a dinner evening and cooked breakfast. Thoughts and comments anyone? As a recreational pilot, I have not yet received a landing fee, but GA may be different. See map attached for more info. -
Bad fluctuating Oil pressure on a Rotax 912ULS

Shouldn't that read - the less viscous the easier it flows. -
Bad fluctuating Oil pressure on a Rotax 912ULS
CrayonBox replied to Kyle Communications's topic in Engines and Props
If and when the oil cooler is installed with inlet/outlet down opposing the Rotax recommendation, how would you get rid of an air-lock in the cooler, and prevent gases building up in the top of it? -
Temora and Narromine airpark.
CrayonBox replied to Country Flyer's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
Ring Terry and Jo at Narromine Tourist Park at the airport. They might be able to help. All the best. -

You should see/count how many of the new (approved) airpark lots have been sold in Maryborough over the last few years.........'0'. Maybe that was how Council 'was' hoping to get some coin but isn't. And hanger lot leasing and associated costs are quite prohibitive too - the thing is the airport including Hervey Bay are both very short on hangerage! As a result there is no enthusiasm or incentive to build any with earnings potential. Still waiting for the so called approved fuel installation too which is happening by the end of this month?? We all know only 2 things are certain in life- death and taxes - not necessarily in that order. The future is always uncertain, makes it hard to plan ahead doesn't it ....Rant off...... -
