My plane is doing a little over 20 LTS per hour average , I do not know the price difference between the 2. Brumbys are Much cheaper than tecnam and have a very big cockpit area compare d to others.

my 610 is RAA registered and is doing a great job , i really enjoy flying it.

The Bose set is fine, I have no need to continually adjust the VOX either . The zulu2 has me constantly adjusting the VOX so I can hear anything . The Zulu 2 is far more comfortable to wear and lets less noise past the ear cups than the Bose. Is there any one else with the same problem or am I the only one.

The 610 has been a learning curve for me , I am yet to fly in carm air . I can say that the 610 handles the rough very well . 20 LTS per hour roughly average. I am having trouble with my head sets, my new Zulu 2 has muffled feed back when I speak. The other head set is a 3 yr old Bose and may be they are not matched. Every one can hear me ok, but all I hear is rubbish. The auto pilot swings me around a bit. There's no optimum range on the gauges so when your doing your Tees and pees are in the green, there is no green, just numbers. The mixture cable is on the wrong side of the throttle , this takes a moment to get use to. The luggage space is good, the sunvisor s are great, interior is well laid out and very comfortable , plenty of room, yoke is good though a little heavy, it trims up beautifully, it is a little slower than I had hoped, though I am still running it in, it holds good fuel , the doors are great, seating needs to be tailored to suit the user as mine was a bit low. The next model may be refined in the engine bay access door, as it is a little hard To check the oil. It needs a bigger spinner as there is a large flat surface behind the small spinner ( improved air speed ) , I am awaiting some refinements to be fitted to the spars and wheel fairings,(improved air speed). All in all its the best plane I have ever owned

Thanks, the transfer pump would be easy , is it readily available ?

Is there any good ways to fuel a high wing other than jerrys and a funnel? This seems dangerous

Well, it's arrived, the Brumby 610 is in the hanger, i flew it home on Friday, the 610 is very stable and has plenty of power. the cabin is comfortable with good leg room, vision is very good for tall people , very small rudder inputs are required to keep it flying straight and level, I think this plane would suit pilots of varied experience.

Bendigo flying club is the happiest club of aviators I have ever been involved with. All they need is more like minded people to join and use any of their Raa or Ga planes as this is what they need to survive into the future

your info looks correct, o233 was fitted because the io 233 is not certified.

i believe there is a set up that you hook up to the dip stick tube or filler cap

Look for the Brumby air craft site.

Brumby air craft will have my lycoming powered 610 at the flyin so look out for it, it's new, the first in Australia.

What is the best way to reduce moisture building up in my engine during winter, is there a air drying system?

What is the best proceedure for radio and take off when your taking off from a private strip that is edging ATC but you will be beneath the lower level. Do you or should you ground call prior to take off? Do you call ATC indicating your intentions, even though you will be under the lower level of ATC and will be clear, of ATC the lower level area within seconds of rotating . It would seem safe to call and notify all pilots/ATC of my intention and location. what's the correct ? Keep in mind I would be in an area lower than ( out side ATC control) ATC .

I am not very computer savvy nor am I able to navigate this site with any ease or for that matter any site, I find I fumble around until I find what I am looking and then I do not know how I got there , so next time I do the fumbling all over again. In saying this, I find this forum informative and sometimes even funny but all in all, a good relaxing way of finding out info. Sometimes things that effect us in the pocket , like insurance , maintenance, landing fees and air port closures and there costs could be discussed or even people or companies within the aeronautical industry might be invited to have an input into a discussion or even open a forum topic. Not that I want to open pandoras box on advertising but select topics / interest might help. Regards Steve

Gr8 Andrew, I am looking forward to time passing quickly

The Bendigo flying club has a fly in breakfast on Sunday morning monthly and regular fly aways

Lol, you might be right Andrew,the way things have been going , it will keep raining and extend or hamper the hand over . It appears that all is well with the performance and handling . Andrew what radios do you have, are they the same as mine and are they any good?

Looks like another few days before delivery of my new toy, it appears the rego was over looked. Ra Aus said that to register a plane depends on the work load of there staff and a couple of weeks could pass.

Poteroo, I would like to read your full report on the 610. Steve

No I am a private pilot, this plane will make 2 610s based at Bendigo 1x rotax powered and mine the lycoming powered.

No harm done and no need for any conflict, I feel good that I am supporting an Australian product. If its as good as you and other say, that will be good enough reward.

How's the holiday? I am going to Cowra this week to pick up my plane. I see it's been flown and evaluated by someone . I guess they (Brumby) are excited to get this one finished, so they can have it demo ed to a select few. It will be good to get my hands on it as I have invested time and money for that moment. By the way I hope the weather is kind to me this week, so I can pick it up. How far have you got on your holiday. Are you there yet. Lol. Regards steve

It looks like my plane (the lycoming powered 610) is being used as a demo unit for the Brumby factory, I glad that you enjoyed my air craft. I have not had the pleasure of flying my plane yet, but look forward to next week when it's my turn.
