    Had a wheels up landing in my Sabre, mechanical failure, broken prop, gearbox checked out by Wal , all good, borrowed another prop from a mate, Kaspar, had to change the pitch as it was over reving, now have a bad vibration as is throttles back past 4000 revs , only noticed this as I was flying to deni to get some panel work done, could it be caused by a miss match in the pitch of the blades , cruise and idle it is good , got a mercury balance plate fitted.

    Yep forgot that one

    Don’t think a 19 rego can be a RV and a two seater

    Bfr

    rhtrudder posted a topic in Governing Bodies

    My bfr is due this week, just rang the instructor, was told can’t be done because of the we would break the social distance rules, he was going ring raa and try and get extensions for for me, how will this play out

    It makes sense now , just checked out my bird , reckon I’m right to try some spins
  7. rhtrudder
    I see the bristell has been deemed unsafe to do stalls in because they can’t recover if they fall into a spin , what is exactly wrong with the design that makes this possible

    The pilot in question flew for the police air wing, helicopters, but I reckon I will keep checking
  9. rhtrudder
    Talking with a pilot about checking for water in fuel, he reckons it’s a waste of time after a refuel as the liquid is stirred up that much it wouldn’t settle out in the bottom of the tank, only time is before first flight after it has sat for a while, any thoughts?

    That’s what I thought, probably should wait till the end to get the most out of the two years

    Bfr due at end of March , is it possible to do it earlier and forward date it to line up with the due date

    There was a mark on the ring which I managed to work away with an abrasive tape and reassembled with permatex exhaust goo , but I may be up for a new pipe, do you think the yellow stain would be from the leak , blowing a gale here at the moment so reluctant to go flying
  13. rhtrudder
    Mine are bolted , 2 bolts , a fitted ring on the header seats against a matching chamfer in the port
  14. rhtrudder
    914 rear left , the stain looks like it starts at the exhaust port , it’s on the carby , firewall , oil tank and streaming away outside from the cowl , the only thing that would dissolve it was carby cleaner in a spray can .
  15. rhtrudder
    Had a yellow stain appearing from around the left side of the cowl , looks like it was coming out of the exhaust where it fits into the head , could it be that the pipe wasn’t seated properly and maybe allowing unburnt fuel to leak out hence the yellow colour, I’ve had a go at reseating the compression ring but haven’t flown yet , has anyone come across this.

  16. rhtrudder
    Your right, forgot the transponder, how much to fit one .
  17. rhtrudder
    Is it possible to fly into controlled airspace in a 24 rego under a RPL if the radio and altimeter is certified, I heard is was but not sure , thinking of getting my RPL just for this reason
  18. rhtrudder
    Found a electrician that can do it , only trouble he is in NSW , over the river, Moama, and can’t work in VIC, but is going to try figure something out hopefully
  19. rhtrudder
    Three wires , three phase, l guess HV, feeding dairy’s, anyway worth a try
  20. rhtrudder
    Looks like the way to go , thanks for that, l know a few sparkies hopefully one can do it, do they use the same rod to replace the fuses on the pole
  21. rhtrudder
    Looks about 12 meters, could stand on top of a cattle truck and get a lot closer, what’s a L2 ASP , who sells the rotamark, do they clamp around the wires
  22. rhtrudder
    Anyone had a go at putting those orange balls on power lines , what’s involved, cost, I’m with powercor and a bit terrified what they will charge , the balls cost $600 for three,
  23. rhtrudder
    Okay, thanks I’ll give it a go
  24. rhtrudder
    I’m guessing it’s the h button
  25. rhtrudder
    Below the sliders there is the blue tooth button , then plus and minus buttons that control the music volume, then below them there is another button , is that it, Greg
