Is the 230-SP handbook genuine and original from Jabiru Australia? (not from elsewhere?) Go Texas, y'all. Spent a few days in El Paso, and a month in Houston airport one day not long ago on way to Oshkosh.

No transponder is required in D. (because Class D eg Camden is not radar controlled airspace.) CASR Part 91 MOS 26.68A sets out surveillance requirements.

rokket2201, I suspect you might be a young person just starting to be interested in aviation and how it all works? If so, good. Without new ideas and questions coming along, nothing ever advances. Some ideas will be great, but take time to develop, and some ideas... well... not so much. In aviation, nothing can change fast, and it would have to change worldwide. And things DO change for the better over time as new technology comes along. ATC are not the sole users of radio calls made by pilots - pilot to pilot communications may be 50%, and to-from ATC the other 50%. And that's all I have to throw into this one. Oh, the use of VHF..... I think we're stuck with it. If something else was better, it's impossible to flick the switch and everybody starts using the new thing at midnight on 1 January 2030. Think of it as deciding to all start driving on the other side of the road - from midnight. It wouldn't work. You'd have to stage it - say cars with number plates ending in an even number switch over at midnight, then next week, cars with odd number plates switch over. What could possibly go wrong!

I'd suggest most of us cannot open HEIC files - whatever they are.

7500.

Okay, I'll let him know. Decathlon is way bigger and heavier than the MINIMAX he's completing.

AH, he's done his ticket at Lethbridge. Has found nothing tailwheel there. Dubbo and Camden is too far, but thanks anywho.

Hi all, I have a friend in Ballarat area needing to do a tailwheel rating. Willing to travel a bit. Not being in the RAAus game myself, I have no idea who he could go to or where. Nor does he. Any ideas? Thanks.

Whitbread Motors? Thanks for the tip and number - I need to book the car in for a service.

Tool found in engine?? Prime Minister, please, get out of there!

Jabiru did not. CAMiT did. A one off 1100cc two cyl 40hp special for a particular aircraft/customer. It never flew with that engine and I presume the engine was returned to CAMiT (and never seen again). I ran it once, it vibrated like a beeeetch.

Some years ago a friend mentioned an annoying high freq vibration in his C182, coming from down the back somewhere. He checked all his antennas, and everything. I jumped in the back and off we went. Level off, pass 90 kt, bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz yep. He said "hear that? It's coming from down the back." Well it was in front of me in the back seat. Looking around what do I spy between me and him - an air vent up on the left roof. Closed the vent, noise gone. Opened the vent just so, noise back. Vanes in the vent were singing like a reed in a musical instrument. That'll be $500 mate - cash or card?

Here's my friend's parking effort on the Yarra. (I didn't blur his face - that's how he flies!) He didn't piss around "putting it there" - he just put it there.

A friend of mine landed a Squirrel on there some years ago, and he put the skids on the H. RIGHT ON THE H. Not a millimetre off!
