thanks

Going to have a go at RPL , I have not got my tailwheel , can I do that with a RAA instructor, and then in a Cherokee for the RPL will the tailwheel come across, not many GA planes around here with a tail wheel
-
what then happens to all the 19 rego planes that have been on sold , can the new owners do their own maintenance if not they are in the same boat as GA
-
owner maintained planes is the biggest attraction to our type of flying , take that away and it will finish a lot of us off, most of the second hand raa planes I think would become worthless, if you could afford it might as well pick up a old 140 Cherokee for 40k and be stuck with 5k annuals
-
As in private use raa owners can do their own, I think he was referring to GA type maintenance release annuals.
-
Talking with a lame mate today and he reckons we will be looking at compulsory annuals next, anyone think there is any truth in this.
-
Thanks for the info , looks like by Tuesday they will be to far south, I really only wanted to see the bigger yachts, maybe head to tassie.
-
Would Mallacoota be to far west
-
So by the next morning they would be too far south, what's the next strip down
-
About when would they be passing Merimbula
-
thinking of flying to Merimbula and then out to watch a the Sydney to Hobart yachts sail past, wondering how far off of he coast they would be , any ideas?
-
Was told our diesel fuel has traces of bitumen which hammers the common rail injectors which cost a fortune to replace so had this fitted in Bendigo, made in USA, don't know why it couldn't work on any engine
-
just had a flash fuel filter fitted to my bt50 ute. wondered if it could be adapted to our aircraft , has the micron down to 2 separates any water and if detected shows a warning light, has its own internal pump, bit on the bulky side though.
-
sport pilot,I understand it takes up a bit of time , wondering if it came out bi monthly so they had more time to research more flight tests etc and maybe reinstate the classified section which was the first thing I looked at , I reckon I read one article on radio use that was just repeated from a past issue.
-
just got the latest mag, looks like its going the same way as the old pacific flyer, not many articles and full of pictures, I enjoyed reading the flying tests of any of our planes, , the technical stuff is good so are the trips away by pilots .
-
The first time I've heard this requirement, at any flight level!
-
Plane has a ceiling of 16000 ft , I know it was maybe a stupid question and rightly so deserved some of the answers, but up to 18000ft if it's still under VFR. these levels might get you out of the hot summer lumpy air
-
Thanks frank, that's what I thought, so how high can you go?
-
I understand the upper limit for Raa , but if prepared to carry oxygen can rpl flyers legally go higher
-
Rpl Is there a height restriction for rpl , Raa has 9500 , is rpl the same
-
That's what I thought , everything from the firewall forward , and maybe some of the gauges will need to be changed, he said it cruised at 150 using just over 30lts ran smooth and sounded great
-
I reckon I spoke to him , the Rv is pretty cheap but to change the engine over to a lycombing if it failed not much change out of $60k
-
anyone had any experience with the jab 8 cylinder engine, reliability etc
-
Plane is set up for glider towing, so as it starts its run the at full fine it can't over rev because of the glider hanging off the back but with no glider it will , the owner is worried that the clutch maybe letting go as it over revs on the first tow also makes a different noise , we think the easiest way to test is to send the box back to floods, reading the Rotax manuals I think there is a way to check the torque but looks hard enough to figure out
