    No one mentioned the free funnel. I can ice a cake or top oil up now.😁

    A large RC jet engine would be pretty cool in a sapphire.

    That's what I hated with my 582 powered xair. It used to spit oil onto the fabric tail skins. excellent engine though.

    I was just taking a guess at 20 HP 2 stroke consumption. One of those little 4 stroke paramotors would sip fuel .

    The only one I have seen was bought off Kasper in this group. That had a kfm 20 HP 2 stroke. Supposed to have had a top speed of 80 knots.
  6. BrendAn
    What engine ?
  7. BrendAn
    A lot of work and expense for short flight times. A sapphire does 80 knots with a 20 HP 2 stroke at I guess around 10 lph. You could fit a 4 stoke paramotor to one for an extremely efficient aircraft. I see the attraction of electric but petrol wins I think. Just a dinosaurs opinion.

    Have been for ages.

    I don't know what they could say when the information has been out for so long. I think a statement months ago would have been more appropriate.

    What breed of AC is that

    Not Wedderburn Victoria 😁. People talk about the oaks and Wedderburn, just wondered if they are the same airfield. I will look it up on google.
  15. BrendAn
    Is the oaks Wedderburn. Or are they 2 different places
  16. BrendAn
    i disagree. there are excellent p 103 types available. adding weight,speed and higher stall is pointless. its like all the european expensive speed machines being called ultralights.

    i think we have our wires crossed. it has nothing to do with the prosecution of that case. it was to close the loophole which allowed matt to use paraglider hours towards a fixed wing licence.
  18. BrendAn
    well that would be pretty hard to do . the manual was rewritten to close the paraglider loophole. pretty sure casa told them too. i don't understand what you are saying.
  19. BrendAn
    the paraglider not qualifying has only been written in the new ops manual because of this accident.
  20. BrendAn
    That's exactly what they have done. They can't afford to lose members.

    its how it is here. i read about the first successful homebuilt aircraft in western australia. the cops were waiting to arrest the pilot/ builder when he did his maiden flight. that was back in the 20s or 30s. even had fun police then.
  22. BrendAn
    Yes , a 50 ohm connector as advised by underwood. It's not very old so corrosion is not a problem. I leaned on the antenna by mistake when I was fitting aileron cables and it snapped off.
  23. BrendAn
    Thank you. I don't want to lengthen it. Just want to cut and join to the old lead because it is a pain to remove from the AC.
  24. BrendAn
    thanks for the info. i had a d6 before and that was good. i like the idea of not having to wire it in. its only for an ultralight.
  25. BrendAn
    wondering if anyone has tried one of these and if they are a good thing. i like the idea of it being portable
