  1. The number of available marks has increased by 24 in the past week. There are 15,863 marks on the search database out of around 17,500 possible combinations. That leaves 1,600 or so in the ether, so perhaps it’s not an imminent disaster.
  2. That wouldn’t be a problem….The weight of the regulation would ensure it never got off the ground
  3. VH-CASA 😳
  4. Less than 200 left to choose from...Are we about to run out or is there a reserve supply?
  5. Hi red750...I’m presently building a RANS S-20 in SE QLD. Just a couple of minor comments: a. There is now a variant that utilises the single strut, all aluminium wing off their S-21 Outbound. (I’m building this way) It picks up a couple of knots in cruise, thanks to the cleaner aerodynamics. b. RANS also offers the S-20 with the option of fitting a Titan 180HP or Rotax 915iS, for those with cash to spare. c. The photo above of N133TX is actually a S-21 Outbound. Subtle difference that is only apparent to an owner/builder. Regards....Rodger
  6. Grüß Gott George
  7. Another great yarn, thanks Gilpo
  8. When it comes to building, I’m a “repeat offender”. So here are a couple of observations from personal experience. 1. You don’t build if you want to save money. 2. Double the kit supplier’s indicated/suggested build time, then add 20%. 3. Build if you want to build, buy if you want to fly. 4. Over the years, people have told me they wouldn’t want to fly a plane they built themselves. My reply is, why would you want to fly a plane someone else built? 5. Airplanes are more akin to tractors than Swiss watches.
  9. I see nothing wrong with Roger. Rodger
  10. No prob.
  11. I have a completed Sonex Waiex at Kilcoy that you’re welcome to check out.
  12. Thanks Mark
  13. Aborted a takeoff and heavy braking caused the tail to rise a bit too high. Ended up with 20mm missing from the tips of my Sensenich. D'oh! Still, grateful it wasn't much worse...Nothing time and money can't fix.
  14. Thanks Peter. Enjoy Oshkosh. by the way, if you're planning on shipping anything home, let me know and I'll share the shipping cost. Thanks to a prop strike last weekend, I have to order some parts from Sonex ☹️
  15. Missed by that much, Chief.
  16. A clip of a short flight from Kilcoy to Redcliffe and return for fuel, in Waiex VH-YEX (aka KAYOS) last Saturday morning.
  17. We're the flaps asymmetric?
