    I sent my question to RAA Tech last Friday and will post the reply info. Also suggested a topic about this for the Sport Pilot Mag. In the matter of my question it is regarding a mate 582 rebuild. The person doing it is very experienced but not an authorised rotax service provider. He has in past years rebuilt rotax engines for flying school aircraft.

    Must have been a carton or two consumed in its initial design.

    Does an engine rebuild have to be performed by Rotax for their 582 two stroke engines fitted in owner builder 19 category aircraft or is it ok to use factory supplied and a suitably experienced person do the work? I’ll read up tech manual for my friend and send an email to tech.

    Move to another airfield where you can get hangar space.

    I agree, what I am saying is that perhaps the medical standard proposed changes for GA may be the hold up for RAA gettin 'G' approval as the 600 to 760kg aircraft that would be then in both GA and RAA would present a difference for the pilots regarding medical standard (would set a new precedent I reckon they don't want or need).

    Agree, medical must be the hold up (would set a new precedent I reckon they don't want or need).

    It would matter 100% as the instructor would not have assessed you in the aircraft for your initial solo and it would be expected that you had not flown it before or been instructed in it.

    Some DUC’s were 800 hours and like Mark said Eprops were 2,000 and now 4,000.

    Cost of advertising is a consideration for some.

    There may be efb track history available to answer some questions that family and others will have.

    Could cause some landings to be skippyish 🦘🦘🙃

    Agree, medical if being changed, and I believe it should be, should be done first. This way then if / when RAA get 760kg people can make a fully considered decision about if they stay VH (GA or SAAA) or join RAA. I recon most would stay GA / SAAA.

    I've never had an issue in over 12 years. My two are a medium diameter of about 200mm. I have seen people with the larger size and these may be too bigger a diameter and volume to be practical. Cheers

    This is the Mr Funnel size I have on the wall in my hangar. You may get a similar product from local mower small machinery shop that does mowers, chain saws, wiper snippets etc. I got a small yellow one at home for mower etc.

    Just now another flight being greeted by tropical storm. Looks like they should land at one of the two close by airfields at wait it out as Mackay has thunder lightning and Mackay has heavy rain. Look at Eungella Dam area. Won’t be fun.
  20. Blueadventures
    That was me, a mr funnel just adds another step to cleaner fuel going into aircraft fuel tanks from portable jerry type cans. I have always carried one and use it when away. In my hangar I have a mr funnel available to anyone that wants to use it. Was just an idea for consideration. Cheers.

    Even when only one in the circuit and you receive a call you need to know and hopefully see visually where any other aircraft is. I was established on downwind at an airfield to the west of Townsville about half way along downwind and an aircraft called downwind. (I had called my inbound and joining downwind.) I could not see this aircraft so asked height and asked my wife to look for it also. They responded same height, so I did then not want to move any direction or height other than my current track. They could not see me. Then a short time later saw them ahead at same level, crossing ahead from stb to port. They were actually in the base area then turned port down the dead side and later actually joined their downwind. Flying school aircraft. Didn't waste any time discussing matter as history of not being receptive to discussions. Poor attitude of white shirt and epaulets etc. Just poor circuit join and wrong call on their part. Certainly, had us looking for them considering their call was that they were where we were. My mind picture was of a collision one on top of other.

    Would be nice to have some mister funnels available to assist in clean waterless fuel. Even pilots attending could loan them out. Just an idea for you. Cheers.
  23. Blueadventures
    Agree and boat trailer registrations.

    Fitted an AvMap Ultra efis to Ben’s Nynja built by Scott and did the crankshaft check required for that model. Nice to have two Nynja’s in the hangar.

    Agree, heard of a loose connect on a keyed start switch that closed circuit for starter to the on terminal. This is why I always encourage the starter on warning light and the isolation switch as necessary and a must have. Also include a fuel off valve just before the firewall cabin side not just at the tank feed area. There could be times need immediate or as quick as possible method of stopping engine. The feed for light is starter side of solenoid. Cheers
