  1. why would you be flying passengers around with a 1000ft cloudbase, i thought you would go above the cloud.
  2. cliff banks the guru of the jabiru , told me the 55s were his favourite jab to fly, like a little sportscar. he also had the first j170 wing, did the testing and evaluation on it before it went into production.
  3. i hope the negative comments on here didn't upset the owner.
  4. yes i did find it after much searching. i am only a dumb truck driver. i bow to the mighty one once again. don't tell raaus how dopey i am when you do your report, it looks bad on my logbook.😁
  5. only those who crack the turbo cryptic code understand.
  6. much simpler in a rag and tube, put fuel in and fly, don't worry about all that bullsh#t. they make us do w& b sheets in flight training but i don't plan on carrying passengers or driving anything bigger than a c150.
  7. show me where i have said i was a licensed pilot and where i raised an alternative. and metric does not have an e on the end, i thought the smartest bloke in australia would know that.
  8. Sorry. I should keep off the thread I started. I simply made a statement about the mix of metric and imperial, somehow it always ends up with digs and insults from you. Thanks for that.
  9. I would not call me a pic for a start. And metric to imp conversions can cause issues even in the big plane world. Remember the airliner that dead stick landed on a dragstrip in Canada because an American ground crew fuelled them up with pounds but the numbers given were kg.
  10. Some forklifts have been using a change over battery system for years.
  11. We all have to work with it but one standard would better.
  12. Weight and balance sheets in pounds are a pia. It takes longer for me to look up conversions than doing the sheet itself. I hate imperial rubbish
  13. Hello, is it possible for you to remove all the sold items out of classifieds. There are quite a few.
  14. so explain to me why, when i read aircrafts specs they recommend a higher maneuvering speed at max weight and a lower speed for lighter weight. i thought an airframe would get stressed more in turbulence if it was carrying more weight.
  15. its been done as far as i know. and the 55 i had ser 0003 was converted to a 912 and certified for flying training.
  16. have you ever thought about raising the mtow. i read somewhere it can be done because stall comes in under 45 with full flaps at 544kg. the 430 was done with a clean stall.
  17. does anyone besides me find it odd that when you listen to awis the wind speed is in knots, the cloud height is in feet and visibility is in kilometers. instead of going between imperial and metric why isn't there one standard.
  18. sorry turbo. i was talking about the video i posted and you are talking about the other one. i was the op
  19. I just assumed that they would have the same tanks . I see what you mean now, those 45 lt tanks would add a fair bit of weight.
  20. do you talk in some sort of cryptic turbo code, i have no idea what you are talking about. why does it have to be so hard to post a video i thought was informative.
  21. looks like a light sport aircraft. who cares
  22. the video was in the usa and he was in contact with atc. what has that got to do with a jabiru in australia.
