  1. I don't know the answer but can the SAAA owner built aircraft fly CTA on class 5 medicals; I guess they are allowed. RAAus should get there sometime with RAA instructor signed off endorsements.
  2. The product I mentioned earlier in the thread works a friend has used it twice on his Nynja and he gets those big thorns on the grass strip at his club is SA. So it does work for tubed tyres and I'd expect tubeless as well. I also carry spare tubes and a repair kit but if have hubs apart will always fit a new tube. Mine are split half rims.
  3. Just don't want any 003 1/2 people (licensed to irritate)[007 licensed to kill]🤠😇🤪🎯
  4. Maybe worth the effort to become a member, depending on cost. Where I am we have 10 hangars and when for sale the new owner needs a 70% vote in favour by the other owners. It always been the rule and worked to date. Keeps out persons who are annoyance or disrespect-able to others. Sounds like the person who shared the info would be one reference.
  5. Cork for years on the Rotax cark bowls is too agricultural (rough and ready) for me, they were prone to breaking and falling apart. Best to change to the new black ones. I also carry two spares (in case myself or a flying mate needs one urgently; like on a flying tour.
  6. Perhaps the topic could be headed "RAAus access to class C & D airspace, without RPL ; How / when?" Then maybe an instructor could give an update on where RAAus is at the moment; or say they cannot yet provide details of any such progress. I recon the later would be the reply, if any.
  7. RAA is trying to get the radio endorsement for CTA so we don't have to attain an RPL. And set some additional requirements for the RAA aircraft.
  8. Like it, I would like an AV30 or similar in the Nynja. I didn't ask questions at Oshkosh as too many similar companies displaying and as not ready to purchase would have been a waste on time. I will eventually fit something in a year or so.
  9. PM your email and I'll send over a Nynja w&b with the 90 litre fitted and its cg calcs for your info. My Nynja has always had wing tanks as fitted when I built it.
  10. A w&b will give that information. You should be able to do sum of alloy tank and fittings, minus the plastic tanks and fittings and considering the cargo hammock mass allowable should allow more than 60 litres in the tank. Therefore zero in hammock. If flying solo can place cargo on vacant seat? When I get time I'll adjust a V Max w&b I have a copy of and that will give a indication. Swifts over here have the 90 litre tank fitted as original build.
  11. An easy increase is the 90 litre alloy fuel tank behind the seats to replace the 2 by 30 litre plastic tank setup. A guy in Brisbane makes them. Easy to fit as just disconnect the two flap vertical pushrods and the tank slides in from the cabin side.
  12. Thanks for the info Gary. I reckon it will be a highly desirable ATC tower to work from and area to live in.
  13. 10USD
  14. We had a great time at the Flyin and the museum is well worth a visit to see the aircraft and history. A selection in images is attached.
  15. Saw it at Oshkosh, $10US to enter; so did not bother.
  16. Maybe phone airport management they would know.
  17. Any pilot who has a radio and does not call joining circuit needs an ear full and also a clip under the ear, full stop. It’s unsafe airmanship.
  18. Agree 8 -12 secs is my time. No way I could send an understandable message in 2-3 secs.
  19. A bit of a tip - consider wearing a mask during travels as my cousion and his wife caught covid travelling back from ireland, Sandy and myself also have had covid. Believe Sandy got hers on flight from Australia and I caught it off her. Sandy is clear now and I recon I'll test clear in about a days time. Both strains are fast moving through our body about 3 - 4 days total. Hope no one get it but thought i'd share the info. Our trip is great even with this and it did prevent the cousin catchups on Sat and Sun for the obivious safe reasons. But we did a zoom catchup yestderday. Cheers and safe travels and look forward to catching up in a week.
  20. Have you emailed the Australian supplier and the parent company tech support?
  21. Pm this site or What's app my number you call on. Cheers.
  22. Who is attending Oshkosh 2024. PM details if you want to catchup somewhere sometime. Safe travels. Mike
