I have just received some bad news that one of our fellow site members Jim Chase (The Bushman) has passed away suddenly in Darwin.

 

On behalf of everyone here I would like to pass on our condolences to all of Jim's family and friends - may you soar higher then you have ever done before Jim...amongst the angels.

Sorry to hear that; I never met the man but he came across as a practical, no-nonsense sort of bloke and I always enjoyed his posts.

 

RIP fellow aviator.

It's a bit late for me to thank the man himself, but I'd like to tell you all that I carried out the 5-minute modification that Jim Chase ("The Bushman") described to me in a detailed email.

 

My Jabiru engine had been a dog to start - it has never started on a cold morning without a booster pack. Although fitted with only a tiny little 3kg Decca lawn mower battery (rated at only 120 CCA) this morning it fired up first go!

 

Thank you Jim wherever you are- you will be remembered.

I regretfully posted a reply to the Bushman this morning before I had heard of his passing.

 

My condolances to his family.

 

His posts will be missed by Jabbie owners and others.

 

Fly High Jim.

 

Phil.
