    Bumped into my neighbour and said I'd been flying - only to receive the reply that he's a glider pilot I feel trumped

    I always use a metal jerry can and mr funnel Trike always filled away from hangar Never intentionally earthed the can - it's so heavy (25L), have to put it on the ground before lifting to fill What other earthing is suggested? A tag line to the ground?

    Hi Bucky Not sure why others haven't been as quick as usual to welcome you to the forum - maybe the bit about Canberra... Seriously, I started at 41 and was equally tight on funds I started with a TIF from bankstown, then a TIF from albion park on a trike The trike won the battle and am just about to get my Licence I have every intention of adding 3 axis AC in due course and seaplanes etc All I can say is get started with even one lesson a month if that's all you can manage - but if course the more the better Regards Mark

    It just shows, if you don't panic you've got a much better chance

    Hi, which trike is yours ? Mines in the hangar there too (de-rigged) Mark

    In a trike there is one tank only - and the only way to check is by trying to see the fuel level through the cloudy white plastic fuel tank - very hard to actually see This is how the plane is designed and certified I would have thought one day the designers might consider a fuel gauge

    Doing the downwind checks for fuel... It's very hard to see the fuel in the tank I don't have a mirror on the wheel spat, but even with this it's not easy (there was one on the instructors trike) Is there a fuel gauge that anyone knows about? It wouldn't need to be calibrated - just let you know when your tank is getting low My two stroke only has a 40litre tank - so about 2 hours before a top up... I don't want to just rely on time and consumption

    Interesting that the designer of the jabiru is left blank?

    Scott was certainly exceptional - huge loss to Australian aviation and aviation in general The man made things that others never could!

    All I wanted was to be a pilot --- almost got into the defence force academy - but I was 15... Ended up doing civil engineering instead Just started flying 18 months ago --- but I was very apprehensive and a little scared I'm enjoying it - but take it very seriously that I don't have time to smile - yet You got your PPL pretty quick !!! Enjoy
