The club closed a few years ago. It was being redeveloped as a civic centre I think.

Thanks, good ideas.

Cirrus 22M Shelter Cove Airport, CA

Still catches your balls then. -
The needles move just a bit. Highest I have seen them was a long climb on a hot day, got about half way up the yellow band. Never seen them reach green. Really good cooling or dud gauges. Oil just lifts off the stop after 3 or 4 minutes from cold start, coolant doesn't move. Photo shows typical cruise. Been that way since new aeroplane.

An evenful Afternoon's Flying

Ballarat has been scary in recent years too. Too many students with poor English frightening the likes of me. -

The attitude to risk is interesting. People fly Bass Strait in single engines every day. The chances of survival after ditching are close to zero. -
My new engine (80 hours) has never seen the green band on either the oil or coolant gauges. It worries me. Smart air, the Foxbat agent, say it is normal. I would mask off part of the radiators, but am not convinced that the problem is not just the gauges. I need to get serious about diagnosis.

Light plane crash south west of Sydney 24 Jan 2024.

47 hours dual and only 4 solo seems a bit strange if I am reading it correctly. -
They have now released the audio of the incident. It went Boeing, Boeing, Boeing.

How to hold nylocs from spinning
pmccarthy replied to Bruce Tuncks's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
Bruce it is not clear what the problem is - if you can get pliers in there, then you can get a spanner in. What are we missing? -
Anyone going?
