I would suggest talking to the bods at Gawler , ( ASC , AdelaideSoaringClub). CFI for LSA was Karl Faith , I was a member till some time ago . The great advantage of the club membership is that your training is wet hire of club aircraft . Instruction is included with club membership . A good crowd of top class volunteers.
Just FYI, Clare Valley (YCVA) is currently closed for works on the main strip (35,17).
Owned and operated by the Clare Valley Flying Group Inc. of which I'm a member and hangar owner.
No landing fees are charged and fuel (100LL) is available with 24hrs prior request .
Upgrading to bitumen seal on the main runway with PAL......hoping to re-open 2nd week of April....fingers crossed !
Group membership fees of $110pa , lease for hangar (12m X 12m ) $900pa , council rates $700pa ( for bugga all ).

The whole site update looks great here and works really well................then there is always BUT,,,,,,,,,my ignore list (although active) .....doesn't - FIXED (see next post)
No worries franco you keep on proving it . I'd be a bit careful with the diesel though, the sulphur in it will bite into even 316. maybe RP7 or our own invention , WD40 soaked into the cloth .
Well , this is for the engine
knowledgeable. I've been tooling around with a flat 4 ( well known brand) engine for education reasons ; replaced exhaust valves ( hand lapped) into recut seats.
Compression "seems" much improved , on pull thru ( not leak down tested ,at this stage).
Here's the query, pulling through on the exhaust stroke the exhaust is sucking in prior to the actual exhaust ........as if the exhaust valve opens maybe 10 -15 degrees before the piston hits BDC. Is this typical or "normal" or is the timing of the cam misaligned??
The case has not been split as only the top end has been worked on.
Just wondering users' experience and suggestions welcomed.
I need to get Hangar Owners insurance and public liability for a new hangar
located at ClareValley Aerodrome.
