  1. You know I have stopped talking about crime , the leaders of the state and magistrates are so p/ weak they will not amend laws to deal with crime and suitable punishment . Have you noticed the magistrates are generally from client supporting side of law , why not put some prosecutors in to balance out
  2. A brief note on a great few days away. I left Albury for an uneventful flight to Coonamble for a meet up with friends and an overnight stay. $5 each way mini bus to town from the airport . Next morning off to Moree to spend a couple of days swimming In the artesian pools, what a magnificent experience. Most of our meals were via the RSL and the RSL bus was very handy. Very few people about and even less using the pools so I spent early mornings and late afternoons in the pools . I left Moree for Albury after one of the best quick breaks I have ever had.
  3. I took my mooney m20F for a short but enjoyable excursion. Starting in Holbrook for ByRock . On arrival at Byrock I found it was covered in a layer of thick smoke and difficult to see . To my surprise the airstrip was freshly graded making for a smooth and comfortable landing. After securing the air craft I walked to the pub. The pubs accommodation was fully booked by road gangs who are repairing the roads. I had some lunch and a talk to one and all , then returned to the aircraft and proceeded on to Coonamble for a fantastic feed and a great over nights stay not mention a 5 $ taxi ride in the community cab from the air port to town,How great is that. Went into town for breakfast next morning and a visiting fireman offered me a lift to the airport. I then flew over to Narromine for a nights stay. I walked into town for lunch and felt much better when I returned to the airport as I am not much of a walker. That evening I conversed with the good people from the aero club and stayed for a meal and a few drinks. Next morning I flew back to Holbrook. Short and uneventful but enjoyable trip . Stevron
  4. A 610 Brumby and a 230 Jabaru left Albury for a out back excursion. We meet up at Cobar for our first stop , fuel and a check over prior to continuing. The next stop and over night stay was at Thargomindah ( a very good airport but the facilities were locked)we ended up turning our stay into 2 nights, the motel manager offered us the use of a Ute , we did not take this up but we were just as happy to walk the township. After leaving Thargomindah we flew to Noccundera pub and taxied up to the pub for a coffee and a pie ( it was to early for alcohol- for us oldies) . On leaving Noccundera we flew to innamincka exploring water ways and the land scape. I flew to Windora at 8500’ viewing the fantastic greenery of the waterways. We fuelled at Windorah then flew to Jundah for an overnight stop, next morning after some minor maintenance we flew to Barcaldine for fuel then on to Mareeba for our final destination. We finally had to leave Cairns and return to Albury. Our trip to Albury was uneventful, fuelling at Mareeba , Barcaldine, Bourke and Albury. Prawns , oysters etc were consumed with eagerness in Cairns , it was sad to be back home . All the airstrips were in fantastic condition. All the people met on the way were helpful and friendly— Stevron minor maintenance.
  5. What LSA will fit a 190 cm pilot, mostly leg room required?
  6. Thanks heaps , mine was not working , I have learnt that if it’s disconnected it needs to be rearmed, I am yet to find out how to do that, thanks again
  7. Can anyone ID this for a model number etc
  8. I am looking for a io 360 Lycoming to suit my mooney m20f
  9. I am looking for a mooney m20F 1976 Lycoming io360 engine
  10. I have a mooney m20 f 1976 and am looking for a engine
  11. I am looking for a hangar in the Maleny area, any help would be great regards stevron
  12. Does anyone know of an airstrip at Darlington Point NSW that is open for public use
  13. Has anyone fitted an airmaster electric inflight adjustable prop to a Lyncoming that has a light speed ignitions? The slip rings and ignition pick ups are in conflict
  14. The OME ignition system leaves a little to be desired. I changed mine to light speed plus a slick mag. Stable flight characteristics, slower than advertised cruise. Good fuel use age and brilliant endurance. Comfortable cabin.
  15. I am looking for something to replace my Brumby 610 Lycoming powered. I am looking for a big cabin , 130 kts , 4 seats, what’s for sale?
