    If its the one near wilpena pound - then it's a gravel strip with fuel. I sent the family up for an ariel view mid arvo in summer - apparently very rough on the air No idea of costs for fuel etc

    Considering there's 20 million people plus in AUS - seems like an elite group are rec pilots

    Thanks herm Ill be able to put my soldering iron to use again! For anyone owning a Pajero (mine is NM), if you ever find a problem with a faulty temp gauge, I know how to fix it - you just need a soldering iron!

    I've overheard that there are approximately 5000 recreational pilots in Australia and only about 500 Microlight trike pilots (RAAus and HGFA registered combined) Is this ball park accurate?

    Thanks maj - I have no idea if its dynamic or electric type, but I'd bet its dynamic

    Thanks Patrick Good to know what intercom it is - it works perfectly My passengers headset stopped working and pretty sure it's the mic - he could hear me, but I couldn't hear him I'll pull it apart and look for the loose wire Cheers Mark

    One of my peltor headsets has a dodgy mic I have no idea of the model as it came with the trike I also have no idea what the intercom system is - can't find a brand on it I also am not sure the connector - looks like a telephone plug RJ12 I have a few options 1) try to fix it 2) get a new or working second hand - my difficulty here is finding one with the right plug The head set is comfortable and works fine, so not interested in spending a fortune Open cockpit I forgot to bring it home to pull to pieces! Anyone ever fixed one? Anyone have an old one they no longer need ? It will be the passengers headset! Mark

    Another great weekend at YWOL Got to fly my trike Solo on Sat and Sun. Dual 0.7h and Solo 1.7h Was great to get some hang time and practice twenty circuit, landings Next weekend weather doesn't look good!

    Try BOM website for decoding

    100% agree Why are pilots expected to learn twenty pages if acronyms ?

    I get there at 6:30am and ready to fly by 7:15 ... But when you have to put up the wing and take it down again, it's only worthwhile if the weather is right! Basically the planets need to align - booked lesson, weekend and perfect weather

    Well done.... I'm still waiting for my second go!!! 20knots is too much in a trike - especially westerlies at YWOL I might need to start 3 axis ASAP
