If not Hyundai what about Honda, they already make a 1800cc water cooled fuel injected flat 6 cylinder for the Goldwing range

I just heard on 7 news they have found the plane with the pilot deceased Can't find any other reference to that news. Steve

I received a text and an email with a link to the form and to the sign on section of the RAA website.

Jabiru 430 is normally a 4 seater and VH registered. I'm thinking you mean a 230 which is a 2 seater and RAA registered.

The 170 is a 160 with a 230 wing. Hence the 160 is limited to 540kg and the 170 to 600kg. I found the 170 a bit too floaty when landing for my liking.

Thank Yenn. I have a friend at Boyne Island and was looking for somewhere close to land. He suggested Rodds Bay. Not sure when I would be likely to actually make the trip. Steve.

Hi. I am looking for information on the grass strip at Rodds Bay near Benaraby, SW of Gladstone. Was wondering who owns/runs the strip and permissions required for landing. Steve

Jabiru do not recommend Mogas but they do not say to not use it. Quote from J160C manual 2.5.4 Fuel Grade • Avgas 100LL • Avgas 100/130 • MOGAS with minimum Octane Rating of 95 RON1 may be used. • Do not use fuel additives such as Octane Boosters. Jabiru Aircraft strongly recommend using AVGAS. Automotive fuels should only be used where AVGAS is not available, and if used, must have the highest anti-detonation rating practically available.

I sent an email to OzRunways outlining the issue, this is their reply. "Thanks for your message. We had a bug affecting the Wx/Notam tab today that we believe is now fixed. Hopefully, when you try now it should work as it should. Sorry for the inconvenience. Let us know if you continue to experience any problem." All working OK now.

Mine is doing the same.

What about Whitsunday Airport on the road to Shute Harbour. It's privately owned but they may allow you to fly from there.

There used to be a list of all RAA registered aircraft but I can't find it now . Steve

I'm guessing you are fairly close then, or you have a very big camera lens.

The satellite photo on Ozrunways has the aircraft between the 2 buildings ? and 1 doing a turn round on the eastern end of the runway. Don't know how recent that is. Steve

Hi Don't know about the fuel but I would suspect it is from town. I haven't flown there yet even though it's only 20 miles away. You could call them with any questions you have that I can't answer. Steve.
