  1. medical is the same as raaus
  2. if your 24 is private use you can change to E24 experimental if your engine is out of time instead of buying a new engine, for instance the one i am talking about only has 400 hrs airframe and engine but the 912 is over 15 yrs old so it has to be rebuilt or replaced for 24 reg. and you can also do your own work on it under E24 .
  3. 24 to e24 can only be approved by a casa appointed person. L2 can't do the inspection.
  4. Small aircraft near point lonsdale Rd. Emergency services in scene. Hopefully no one is hurt
  5. Just happened, waiting on information
  6. Great news. A big hurdle leaped.
  7. Every time Rotax is mentioned you say how badly designed they are and all the problems they have. Yet no one else has much trouble with them. Yesterday I was talking to my instructor about aircraft and he said 912 are bullet proof. He has thousands of hours behind 912 uls and has never had an issue.
  8. bloody hell. i bet a few pairs of ski pants went to the laundry that night.
  9. i don't know why they aren't designing swap and go batteries like the trucks and fork lifts are doing.
  10. I have been there. Great bloke's . They do some brilliant work. The radial engines are a work of art.
  11. true, but what he says about adding a crank snout and increasing the bearing area has to help. the jabiru prop extension is probably fine until there is a slight imbalance from prop damage and wear.
  12. good luck with it . looking forward to seeing the demo flying.
  13. That's it. I didn't think to look on YouTube.
  14. i had never seen a texan until last week. did 3 hrs dual training. got another 2 on friday then hopefully back to solo. i like the aircraft. flies nice and climbs good. big cabin.
  15. Did you watch that video link. It makes sense.
  16. So you would think a crank snout with more bearing area and getting rid of the long extension should fix the problem . I know when I got my 2200 I thought the prop was a long way from the crankcase.
  17. They are breaking at the first crank web behind the front bearing. He showed one in the video.
  18. there is not much support for the crank snout and they often use long extensions to mount the props. cherna believes the cranks would be fine if they had more substantial support behind the prop.
  19. no . you need a facebook account unfortunately
  20. this video paul cherna has on facebook shows what he considers the problem with jab cranks. Log into Facebook WWW.FACEBOOK.COM Log into Facebook to start sharing and connecting with your friends, family, and people you know.
  21. E24 is raaus.
  22. because australia is a nanny state. we have more laws than china.
