  1. i've trailered gyros all over the country, proven method of tying down is a "cage" over the 2 mains, pulling down over the tyres. Nose wheel into a small tyre, then lashed down. Never.........had issues. It's not the "securing" bit i'm worrying about, just the wings off n on stuff, i wasn't up to speed with. As to wind / weather protection.......easy, a partial cage with tarp laced to it....worked before no probs. About 2/3rds covering machine.
  2. Oscar ol mate.......I take that as a YES, .....Using your trailer.
  3. Oscar...........maate...........bestest maaaaaate, how about we hire that trailer of yours for about 6 mths. It looks the goods..........................maaate:blush:
  4. ol mate is long time hello pilot / mechanic, says they are brilliant, he's got 20+hrs in them. ( cicare's )
  5. Wife..............
  6. This company has been gaining huge respect around the world. They are quickly catching on in the grazing industry australia. Single seaters, 912 Rotax's. Now..........they're producing these little rippers ( tandems ) 914 Rotax's. Feedback from flyers is 100% positive, at less than $100k, it's only time before robo feels the pain. ..........made Argentena
  7. Trailering ......duel axles, etc etc, right springs, the ride is really good. I'm more chasing info about pulling wings off and on.
  8. Just tried it.....bewdy.
  9. yes turbs, last sentence requires an answer.........who. But the "bully" needs to be taken on, he's out of line. Until the bully is genuinely called to account, it will be business as usual. As a saying goes......."its time" Adopting "the position" and taking it you know where, is not an option.
  10. Yea.....good, good.......but, if i were to drop into strip xyz???, ( that's listed here ) and updating needed doing.........how does one load this update, have been caught with "outdated" info before. Me/you clicking onto marker, then inputing info, would be ideal
  11. loading a jab onto trailer with wings off..............taking wings off, then later, refitting them........easily doable ?? The actual removal / refitting etc. Mulling over the idea of towing behind as we go walk about.
  12. guys.......refreshing this prop advert. ( new price around $4200 landed )............now $2700 neg,
  13. Are you prepared to go down with a bullit in your back, or go down with a bullit in your chest. This whole sorry saga was at the outset, a " let's hurt the barstard" ...outgoing casa staff, just wanted to cause pain. Remaining staff are forced to defend this action. ( just follow the early comments re....24 hrs, Christmas Eve etc etc ) If.......the supporting documentation is seriously flawed, then open it, and let's see some red faces. Dropping to your knees, and taking it you know where, is not in our Aussie DNA. The....do nothing, for fear of consequences at some later time, is garbage, if your right....then defend that , fight for it, take no prisoners. Will force the bully to think real hard, before pulling another stunt. If.......however, the document has merit, well cop it sweet and move on.
  14. it's a good run Giles, down that Gun barrel track heading WA.......3....4 good stop off points enroute, have names and ph's etc, drop me a mail.
  15. you've bought a jeep......yea Ok, now you've gota get a bigger boat.............( i think the ad was saying that ??? ) BTW...............go the maroons:oh yeah:
  16. Raa were privy to the "secret documents", did'nt they have 24hrs to respond. ( way back at the beginning )......so where's Raa sitting.......on a fence, ( what i'm saying, is........why aren't Raa releasing info, that they have already said is dubious factually )..........they've got the documents. Other point..........can't see jab using shine type legals, my thinking is.......if jab believed they have a good case, they would seek a higher firm, my thinking is jab actually believe they may be on shakey ground. just sayin..........
  17. keeping in "ground effect" i think is the stability / directional bit, metre at most off the deck. Then let that speed build. At MTOW i can get off 150....200max and thats at 2500asl. Throw in a headwind......even better. Sorting a short field stop is work in progress.
  18. Ian.....shoot me your email address, I'll send you couple of good stn stopovers enroute that area, food acomm avail......no need to do looong legs
  19. Fill up Burketown, track Boroloolla, (near McCarther site ) fillup Boro......( both avgas swipe ) then west mataranka . Check homestead strip is Ok before using tho, you may have to use tother one. Forgot.........avgas avail at Adells Grove camp grounds. ( Lawn Hill ) 60nm inland burketown.....and full acomm etc
  20. twas i that edited the post..........ol mate here, must have a twin over there.
  21. folks..........google "Rotory wing forum".......yank site, then search psru. ( and others ) Have a good read, it goes and goes, the poster 1946 is under the pump. same poster has ducked and weaved under other aliases, there and elsewhere ...........to name a few, raton,1946,albert,fritz,cheapracer.........dare i mention ***, you read and make your own conclusions.............just sayin.
  22. Nar...........the rubble jumped on planes, came here and joined centrelink.
  23. Currently 25psi........yes, still hardish ride on grass, intend trying 22 but no lower.
