  1. I got told tonight that after this week 24 reg owners will be able to register AC with 912 over 15 yrs And can be used for training by the owner. I assume this means no annual marap. Supposed to be info coming out next week.
  2. It's fake. Like others have said. The still picture is the real part.
  3. hi taraz. any build photos coming soon. looking forward to them.
  4. have a look at tghe 2 golf balls. they are huge. 1 is black the other yellow.
  5. This is from a bloke who shops at Bunnings aerospace.🤣
  6. This is where I am confused, are they supplying the parts but charging labor or are they doing the whole job at jabs expense once they receive the engine.
  7. Yes. Raaus really did a good job here. Same the other week when they did my new xairs transfer and rego. It's easy to complain about raa but they should be given credit too when they earn it.
  8. I went solo again this afternoon. I have soloed twice before but due to long breaks in my training I had to start again plus I am training in a Texan now and tecnams before. It was a great feeling to get to solo again. I only have 4 hours to go and I will finally get my RPC.
  9. It says no component cost to the owner. Doesn't that mean they will only supply the new crank. Owner pays the rest.
  10. Trouble is you have to do a marap every year
  11. Type certified stops you from doing anything. I know someone else in the same position with a gazelle
  12. The storch was done in 2 days. The paperwork came back today . Darren Barnfield did the e24 conversion . $1220 plus GST.
  13. Why. Jabiru are only supplying cranks. Nothing else.
  14. So why didn't they have a 4 stroke endorsement. I would agree with 2 stroke familiarisation being included in the syllabus but not as an add on you have to pay extra for. Mind you some of the stuff posted about oil ratios shows a definite lack of understanding by some people.
  15. i feel for clubs and schools. if they offer enough money to keep instructors they lose students who can't afford to pay more. but it doesn't seem to matter what hobbie or sport you look at most are facing the same problems.
  16. Only trying to help the bloke alright
  17. if you can get hold of planesmaker he should have all the info you need.
  18. planesmaker Members 579 Aircraft: Jabiru Location: Tumut Country: Afghanistan Posted August 19, 2015 I would say those figures from aak would be correct, obviously they are with only 1 person (big person 105kg) and about 1/2 fuel (about 40kg) I would estimate the empty wt around 370kg or so , all up about 500kg. I usually climb out at 800'/min at 650kg on 100hp in my rotax j400. What a great aeroplane! Jabiru make the best airframe, strong, low maintenance, and reasonable price and it's local, need any parts, just call and order arrives in a couple of days! I m very happy with my jab. Tom
  19. I don't plan on going to Portugal if that's what you are suggesting. I am nearly finished my RPC now. Found a reliable instructor who is there every day. Before I could only get instructors who were there to build hours . They would all Leave and then you had to wait for another one to come along.
  20. It's gone and good riddance.
