    Close up of lift plates (3mm s/s) fitted regarding images in March of fitting new undercarriage design for 600kg. I also cut some black tube to protect the paint on the flap covers edge paint.

    Maybe someone could make a list of plans, kits and factory built 'FAR 103' aircraft that RAAus would register as 95.10.

    A friend mentioned that RAAus / Sport Pilot adds cost $400- plus. Same person mentioned Plane Sales was $75-. He has a current advert posted with Palne Sales.

    Details on facebook; Red drifter 19-3227. Drifter Appreciation Society. I'm assisting the owner with its sale. Has all receipts for rebuild by an experienced rotax two stroke re-builder; logs and full run-in documentation record. Just an idea for you, Cheers.

    Probably no help; there is a drifter for sale at Mackay for $14K ono with rebuilt 582 electric start and only 5 hours since rebuild. Invoice for parts was $7k plus. Maybe buy and sell airframe less engine.

    Yep, rain is often referred to as liquid sunshine. ASDIP - Another shitty day in paradise. Cheers.

    Being in a position of organisations is similar to being a referee or umpire at times in my experience.

    Mine when working has middle blinking green and the ones either side lit green.

    Baby Spitfire?

    Plus it’s maintenance status and category . Eg factory built and L2 maintained and maintenance uptodate etc?

    Good plan. North of Sydney would be nice. The central coast has great areas. The big cities are getting too full of people and traffic etc. either side of Newcastle would not be too far by the sounds of it. Would be more opportunity of hangar spaces I believe. For me North Queensland with Central NSW beaches would be perfect. Hope will barrack for Queensland at State of Origin time.

    Why Sydney?

    Were you in the blue one about 11:30?
  16. Blueadventures
    How much per year?
  17. Blueadventures
    Agree, Spacey would be nice to see some images, side on, panel and engine etc.

    Just to add some real world experience. Had a UMA air switch connected as per the wiring diagram. After much disappointment of it not working and about to send back tried reversing the positive and negative and it worked. A go figure moment. Working still now 345 hours later. Murphy is always up there springing surprises.

    You could drill and cut hex profile for the nut shape out of flat bar and buy or borrow a tap to cut the thread. A bit of time but will deliver easily what you need. Could fab up in aluminium to be lighter. Taps cost about 20 to 30 dollars.

    Just back from a great 3 overnight trip of 8.8 hours in the nice autumn air with friends and meeting new flyers. Overnighted at the famous Aeroplane beach north of 1770. Then an 18 knot tail wind home for the 2.6 hour last leg. Ice on Nynja for first time in Queensland. Clear skies saw the Southern cross and the pointers. Also saw a sunrise and a sunset during flight. Even caught fish Dart, Bream and Whiting that were breakfast and dinner and some were taken home by Bill and John. Life was good these days.

    Just some feedback foir RFguy and all. This upgrade you mentioned has worked well over the weekends flight 9 hours and using to charge phone and mini ipad and no noise at any time. Thanks again for the parts and where to solder them to. Cheers.

    Always rapt with the 71 series Detroits in marine engine power. Very reliable, though a bit oily and performed even if a rocker broke; just lost about 150rpm.
  23. Blueadventures
    121kW is about 160hp

    Hi Danny This is my checklist setup. If you want a copy pm email and I'll send it to you. May be helpful that you can edit the info and layout. Cheers. You must be getting close to flight??

    No not at all. Another oil cooler bracket on another R912 that I made. All brackets use 32mm by 3mm flat aluminium bar. I did fit a layer of rubber where the oil hose is in contact with the lower cowl; not installed when phot taken but on before first flight.
