thank you for your reply Clive the air strip was built by western mining back in the 70?for the gliding club it was alway mainly for rec flying there is a parashute club with about two people in it at the moment they had a hunger ,kitchen, toilet and barrack then the area went down with one person flying in each week to keep it open the vandals got to it and destroyed the lot the council would not help they wanted to bull doz the lot except for one persons effect to keep it open he tryed to get control of it but no luck. the mining company does not want the rec flyer to pay fees the council is saying user pays to pay for the up keep the rec flyer are supporting the mining company for commerical flights to pay fees as the other mining company are not putting any money up be the will use it the .ultra light club have been using it for the last 4 months at the moment we have ten student learning to fly we are paying to get the school up which is 8 hours away by car 3.5 hour flying this cost goes onto the flight lesson cost any other cost would almost get to ga lessons costs there is a ga school in the area with a tar strip about 1 hour away they charge landing fees but you can get fuel there and if the aero club is open a coffee so thats ok but our strip is ok for us the up grade is great the miming comp want to help us as they can see the benefit to the community

can anyone tell me what landing fees are for.The strip in question is gravel 1500 mts long graded buy the local aero club, nothing else in the area to speak of it has been in us for 30 year the first 10 by gliding the next 20 by meat bombs up until now the local council did not want any thing to do with it three years ago they where going to rip it up.but the meat bombs protested and tried to get control of it to no avail because a mining company now wants to up grade the strip to two km gravel for there use fly in fly out the company is going to pay for the up grade no charge to the council the council wants to charge every one else to use the strip also can any one come up with how to fight this council on this one

ian try the central victorian radio control modellers in bendigo they may help email me and i will give the contact number

i won't think twice about getting it from Garry as it would be a lot quicker then trying to get them over here

if you own a mulit meter very carefully start the engine and check the voltage at the battery with the engine at idle with the wheels choked hand brake on some in the plane with the brake rev the engine up and read the voltage at the battery if the voltage goes over 14.5 volt it the rectifier or regulator not shore what the voltage should be set at 14.5 or there abouts the volt meter in your plane should go up to 16 volts if the volt are ok iwould check the gauge earths temp gauge earth under dash

does the rev counter still read ok

what other engine gauges do you have
