I figure if they work inside a car then you should have no problems in an aircraft.Cheers

I'd wait to get a 800 x 480 resolution.They are just starting to come out so should be cheaper by Xmas Cheers

What are the current requirements for registration number size and position on A/C. Cheers

(9 or 11 depending on the possible two orders further up the list) I'm in! Depending on price that is! as well

CIVIL LIABILITY ACT 2002 - SECT 57 Protection of good Samaritans 57 Protection of good Samaritans (1) A Good Samaritan does not incur any personal civil liability in respect of any act or omission done or made by the Good Samaritan in an emergency when assisting a person who is apparently injured or at risk of being injured. (2) This section does not affect the vicarious liability of any other person for the acts or omissions of the Good Samaritan. CIVIL LIABILITY ACT 2002 - SECT 35A Duty of defendant to inform plaintiff about concurrent wrongdoers 35A Duty of defendant to inform plaintiff about concurrent wrongdoers (1) If: (a) a defendant in proceedings involving an apportionable claim has reasonable grounds to believe that a particular person (the "other person") may be a concurrent wrongdoer in relation to the claim, and (b) the defendant fails to give the plaintiff, as soon as practicable, written notice of the information that the defendant has about: (i) the identity of the other person, and (ii) the circumstances that may make the other person a concurrent wrongdoer in relation to the claim, and © the plaintiff unnecessarily incurs costs in the proceedings because the plaintiff was not aware that the other person may be a concurrent wrongdoer in relation to the claim, the court hearing the proceedings may order that the defendant pay all or any of those costs of the plaintiff.

The following thread was taken from the Matronics site:Just as a quick recap of LOP versus ROP, may we specify what it is that we are lean of or rich of? Generally speaking, most folks like to think of rich or lean in relation to EGT temperature, but the thing we really want to know is whether we are on the rich side or the lean side of best power. At best power, almost all of the air that is available will be used. By checking the temperature with an EGT gauge, we will find that when we are running at "best" power, the EGT gauge will generally read about 60 degrees F cooler than it will at peak EGT. We therefore now know that peak EGT occurs on the lean side of best power. Another way to say that is that best power can be found about sixty to eighty degrees richer than Peak EGT The hottest internal combustion temperature will occur when just a bit lean of best power. Most of our automobile engines are designed to run right at best power most of the time. Our aircraft engines tend to be designed to run at full takeoff power for a relatively short time and the cooling capabilities are designed to be able to handle full power by adding extra fuel to the mixture which will slow down the rate of burn, move the point of peak cylinder pressure later in the combustion process and allow us to keep the engine temps below the redline while developing high power. So --- If we are at full or high power running rich and we make the mixture less rich, we are taking away some of the fuel that has been used to move the flame front later in the cycle and the cylinder temperatures will rise. However, if we continue to reduce the fuel flow, the internal temperature will peak at some rather high number. That will be very close to the best power mixture. The problem is that our engines are not designed to cool properly at that high a cylinder pressure. If we continue to make the mixture less rich, it will eventually get to the peak EGT. That will occur with an EGT that is between fifty and eighty degrees Fahrenheit hotter than it was at the peak combustion temperature point. If we now continue to lean the mixture, the EGT will drop. Less fuel means less fire and the cylinder temperatures and pressures will continue to drop. At a cruise power of sixty to seventy percent for most light aircraft engines, the best BSFC (Brake Specific Fuel Consumption) will be found with an EGT about twenty degrees F leaner than Peak EGT. (Or about seventy-five to one hundred degrees away from best power.) It makes sense that when you are burning less fuel the temperatures will be lower, but when we are running at very high power settings, we need the extra fuel to keep the peak combustion pressure and temperatures down. Thus, it can truthfully be said that there are times when leaning the engine will make the heads run hotter, but there are also times when leaning the mixture will make the heads run cooler. As Always, It All depends! Make any sense at all?

The floats-on-a-swing-arm senders are a legacy product from cars and other vehicles that go back a very long way. Making these things really accurate in more\ than one place is a bit fussy. Years ago, we crafted an electronic signal conditioning board for the Bonanzas and Barons that allowed dead-on calibration of empty and full. All other readings across the scale simply fell where where the physics of the sender dictates. The physics of these devices are affected mildly by linearity of the wire wound sensor resistor (usually within 5% of true) but a whole lot by trigonometry of the swing arm and tank geometry. But as you've already recognized, the one level you really want to be accurate is the empty point. For this you can do some things with series calibration resistors and/or bending the float arm on the sender. This CAN be a tedious, trial-by-error activity. If it were my airplane, I'd probably craft a microprocessor based signal conditioner that would allow me to take readings at 5% increments from empty to full and generate a lookup table that converts as-installed sender (transducer) readings into real numbers. The BEST way to watch full levels is with installation of a "dip stick" style sensor at the low fuel warning level (generally 1/4 to 1/3 tank). Consider devices like this: One of these stuck through the tank wall at the warning level will light a lamp on the panel at the desired fuel quantity with no risk for drift of calibration. See: http://www.gemssensors.com/content.aspx?id 82 This is the no-brainer, dead-nuts accurate low liquid lever sensing method I know of. Capacity fuel gages with processor augmentation are also easy to calibrate . . . but I think I could get by with no active fuel gaging other than a set of optical level detectors cited above.

You really can't see that, other then in this pic ,maybe due to the lower level of the setting sun and the reflections of the clouds ???? Cheers

Doctor O’Reilly from Limerick wanted to get off work and go fishing, so he approached his assistant. "Murphy, I am going fishing tomorrow and don't want to close the clinic I want you to take care of the clinic and take care of all me patients". "Yes, sir!" answers Murphy. The doctor goes fishing and returns the following day and asks:" So, Murphy, how was your day?" Murphy told him that he took care of three patients. "The first one had a headache so he did, so I gave him Paracetamol." "Bravo Murphy lad, and the second one?" asks the doctor. "The second one had indigestion and I gave him Gaviscon, so I did sir" says Murphy. "Bravo, bravo! You're good at this and what about the third one?" asks the doctor. "Sir, I was sitting here and suddenly the door flies open and a young gorgeous woman borsts in so she does. Like a bolt outta the blue, she tears off her clothes, taking off everyting including her bra and her panties and lies down on the table, spreading her legs and shouts: 'HELP ME for the love of St Patrick! For five years I have not seen any man!'" "Tunderin' lard Jesus Murphy, what did you do?" asks the doctor. "I put drops in her eyes."

One day an Irishman, who had been stranded on a deserted island for over 10 years, saw a speck on the horizon. He thought to himself, "It's certainly not a ship." As the speck got closer and closer, he began to rule out even the possibilities of a small boat or a raft. Suddenly there strode from the surf a figure clad in a black wet suit. Putting aside the scuba tanks and mask and zipping down the top of the wet suit stood a drop-dead gorgeous blonde! She walked up to the stunned Irishman and said to him, "Tell me, how long has it been since you've had a good cigar?" "Ten years," replied the amazed Irishman. With that, she reached over and unzipped a waterproof pocket on the left sleeve of her wet suit and pulled out a fresh package of cigars and a lighter. He took a cigar, slowly lit it, and took a long drag. "Faith and begorrah," said the castaway, "that is so good! I'd almost forgotten how great a smoke can be!" "And how long has it been since you've had a drop of good Bushmill's Irish Whiskey?" asked the blonde. Trembling, the castaway replied, "Ten years." Hearing that, the blonde reached over to her right sleeve, unzipped a pocket there and removed a flask and handed it to him. He opened the flask and took a long drink. " 'Tis nectar of the gods!" shouted the Irishman. " 'Tis truly fantastic!!!" At this point the gorgeous blonde started to slowly unzip the long front of her wet suit, right down the middle. She looked at the trembling man and asked, "And how long has it been since you played around? With tears in his eyes, the Irishman fell to his knees and sobbed, "Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Don't tell me that you've got golf clubs in there too!"

Sent a copy to the Techi at Icom OZ and he said it was correct but still can't get the intercom to work [everything else works].Have gone thru the menu setup with the techi but still NO intercom [pushed Dual button for 2 secs to switch intercom ON still nothing] Might end up putting a separete intercom in. Cheers

Any comments with this wiring diagram for a 2 person + 2 PTT switches on a Y stick and NO external intercom Cheers:help:[ATTACH]8436.vB[/ATTACH] Icom A210 Ciruit.pdf Icom A210 Ciruit.pdf Icom A210 Ciruit.pdf

Bf 109 or Me 109 ? What is right: Bf 109, Bf-109, BF-109, Bf109, Me 109, Me-109, ME 109, or ME109? In 1938, during the production of the C version, Messerschmitt's global reputation has grown to the point where the Air Ministry suggested changing his company's name from Bayerische Flugzeugwerke to Messerchmitt A.G.. Subsequent aircraft would be identified with the "Me" prefix; those already in production, the 109, would retain the "Bf" designator. Nonetheless, many people began referring to the "Me 109," including the USAAF; contemporary air combat reports are filled with references to the "Me 109." In German usage at the time, "Bf 109" was correct. No dash, lower case "f," not "Me 109," and including a space between "Bf" and "109." But confusion persists to this day. Try a web search on "Messerschmitt Me 109." You'll get almost as many hits as with the proper abbreviation.

Without been rude what can you do/use or import the ECW maps type files into Oziexplorer or Oziexplorer CE Cheers

Got the GPS working with the VNC maps so far so good just need to understand the fine tuning of the unit itself,like refresh rates of maps,how to get the compass to point in the right direction etc Cheers and Thank you Slarti for your help, would have been a struggle without it.

Got the GPS and installed Oziexpolorer CE on another SD card and it works. Now I will try and load some maps into it somehow????? I've got a couple of VNC maps that I would like to scan and put into it if possible.What's the best way???

It states it has Two Latest Q4 2008 Aus Maps what ever they are

Can you put the garmin Australia OZTopo v2.1 roads maps on these units????
