  1. Why would you get signed off for part 103. That is against everything you have been going on about for the last couple of years.
  2. They can be uprated to 544kg
  3. Would be a good project for 5000. Too many unknowns to pay any more. Those leakdowns could be done before it was put in storage. Has it been sitting for years unpickled . If it came out at no more than 20,000 ready to fly it would be ok. 55,s. Are not worth a lot.
  4. You have to have an RPL , so what's that got to do with raaus. You might have an raaus aircraft with transponder and radio but only a GA pilot can fly it.
  5. Pretty much the same except for the much lower speed of the xair.
  6. Just wondering what rpm people run jabirus at. The jab paperwork for my 2200a solid lifter model says 3300 continuous but we have only been running it at 2800. Is 3300 a bit ambitious on jabirus part. I would have thought the prop speed might be a problem at those revs.
  7. Do you know if any are flying over here yet
  8. 2nd Danny's suggestion, Oil is a good idea. I wouldn't think you would have much call for oil filters. A visitor may want to top up his oil outside of workshop hours at the airport . Good coffee. Maybe microfibre cloths and window cleaner .
  9. I found the class 5 quick and easy to do. Took about half an hour. I rang casa with a couple of questions and the bloke I spoke to was very helpful. That's the only experience I have had with them.
  10. 10 knots is a huge increase. What is it that makes e props perform so much better than other brands.
  11. Ok your right. Getting sidetracked. But I am going RPL now. Then check ride for my rpc afterwards.
  12. you keep alluding that i am not in the transport industry. i wish it were true. should have payed more attention in school.😁. and i am not distorting any facts , not much anyway. i am sure you are in some high up position but seems you won't say what it is you actually do i will never know.
  13. I probably used the wrong words but in the past you have often made comments about you designing prime movers and other things like 11r tyres ,maybe I misunderstand what you say. It always looks like you are the driving force behind almost everything to do with transport in this country. And yes I am in the transport industry and have a small fleet of trucks which I wish was even smaller.
  14. why would you be contacted by raa , seriously tell us why. i can't decide if you are full of crap or not. you drop hints about designing the australian transport industry among other things. there is no substance , not once do you say what you actually do or provide any proof. i don't say this to be nasty, i would just like a bit of background or proof that its all true.
  15. used to fly to work on quantas link. they served mines and towns in the goldfields and pilbara.
  16. we also did perth mel return with compass and it was a great trip both ways except we had to board on the tarmac in a tent from memory.
  17. i flew tiger to perth once and i boarded at tullamarine. lucky i barrack for collingwood because all the passengers looked like they did.😁
  18. You can buy a kit to fit a BMW r100 to an xair. There are 9 flying in the UK ATM and going very well.
  19. I was wondering how long before that came up. I did say the Honda motor would be a good aircraft engine😁
  20. The big build takes all the resources that should be fixing roads. The wet weather the last few years caused a lot of them.
