    anyone flown into mungeranie lately, years ago it wasn't a problem using the strip , rang Phil at he pub to book a couple of rooms and he said to get permission from the station shouldn't be a problem female answers the phone only to be told we don't let anyone use our strip, I don't think we have much of a choice to put down any where else so may have to give it a miss.

    Read somewhere that moreys foams up which might detract from the way your oil performs, any ideas on this.

    How would one of these batteries go with the charging set up on the rotax 914, mine is close to needing replacement

    Managed to complete the trip, left on the Tuesday ,fuel at Dubbo big tailwind mostly 150kn just under 5 hours flying time. Wednesday flying via boona then on to Toowoomba , rough over the hills and landed on the disused sealed strip opposite the field days venue , very handy, flew back to heck field and returned home the next day, thanks everyone for your help .

    The danger D612B says sfc to 2500 what does that mean, I understand you can fly through D , just wonder why is it designated D,

    So if Amberley is not active it's ok to fly direct, otherwise I should head south to dodge around the ten mile radius

    Had some work done on the wings by a lame before I bought it , first owner apparently over stressed the skins doing aeros , smooth air flying at these speeds ,

    At this cruise ,sabre is burning 23lts, don't think it ever drops much below 20lts , still cheap way of getting around, intercooled 914

    Thanks, in the end it was an easy fix, unsure what caused it in the first place with hydraulic lifters these engines shouldn't have many valve related problems.

    Ended up removing the head, the seat had a small scourered section in line with the exhaust valve, mate ownes the local Honda dealership and one of his old school mechanics soon tidied it up , valve was okay, changed all the radiator hoses at he same time while I could get to the water pump, compressions now good , back flying , engine seems a bit smoother .

    I was hoping my engine was going to last like yours , my maintenance program was similar to yours but I will be happy if this is the only trouble I have

    Leak down test showed 65 lost from 80 psi , pulled the cross over pipe off definitely loosing air , so leaky inlet valve, rang wally who thought that would be the problem, should be a easy fix if comes apart.

    Raced 2 stroke motocross bikes in enduros back in the early days , had some sort of chrome bores , only ever changed the ring and sometimes the piston, good air cleaner, the cylinder seemed to last okay
