    Water cooled Don't run a water cooled engine for more than a minute or two without a prop as it has the possibility to overheat as there is no air moving over the radiator. Cheers

    It is not certified but be aware that that Powers to be at the Jabiru factory won't allow one in thier certified 24 rego plane it would have to be 19 reg. Trust me I asked if I could put a stratomaster in a 160 with toe brakes and the answer was NO. The Dynon as I belive is not certified either. cheers

    grey options. Firstly good on you for doing this. I have been looking at the stratomaster oddesey $2500 dollar saving if brought in South Africa. After talking to the manufacturer he thinks that the Australian price is good at $7300 but says that I probably wouldn't get support locally if I imported one. Then the next question came up is it a dealer or factory warranty , if it is a factory you should get support worldwide (but we have all learnt differently). I still haven't had a response yet. Saving rapidly to buy one here. ps. US dollar and UK pound are almost the same as the Au dollar. Cheers

    Can some one point me in the right direction. I have looked for the information on an approved engine and what makes it approved but I am unable to find a list of engines. I have read CAR101.55 but that does not disqualify any engine. with thanks

    Poll Results so far It's good to see a broad spectrum of years so far and it's great that the more experienced members are there to help the less experienced and vice a versa. I thank all for the help PS less than 2 years. Cheers

    Back from Bundy Hi all Had a great time spent 3 days there but got into some areas where the public wasn't allowed but had a great time. Will go next year Ultralights Don't let the GA complain about us Ra guys. Listening on the radio the GA people need to learn a bit remember the other thread about Bundy Traffic or Traffic bundy they threw that out the window somewhere over Frazer Island I think. The calls from RA pilots were all good and precise. Cheers

    Its not that I don't like Jabirus its that when I went to the factory last year I met the owner and I didn't like him. Customer service means a lot but not from jabiru. I did my training in a J230 and loved it. cheers

    Just something different I don't know if it has been done before.. Where did you get your handle from.. your screen name.. I got mine one night when sitting at Tullamarine airport when my Partner realized that I was coming home. I own a yacht that is a TrailCat 800 model. Just mucking around she came up with Tango Charlie. we both then went on to have most of the conversation using the phonetic alphabet. You can tell that I hate airports.. PS: I still dont tell her when I'm coming home. I like the suprised look she has on her face at some really weird hours.. Cheers

    As another alternative to D/L the visual flight guide is that it is on the RAAUS CD issued last year. Cheers

    Hi All great reading I soloed around 10 hours completed my training in 8 days with radio and xcountry endorsments got pax dead on 30 hours 1 month later. flew halfway across a continent brought plane flew back to Darwin then onto Brisbane and have 75 hours in under 6 months. Havent flown for six months but hoping to get home and do a checkride before flying again.. My instructor made me fly the plane from getting in at zero hours what agreat experience it has been. I aggree that 20 hours is not long enough. Cheers

    You could try BCF as they will price match. I brought my 410G last year for around $570 from BCF in Darwin. Cheers

    For those of you that use transponders now what sort are you using and why.. eg reliability, ease of use, etc. thanks in advandce

    Hi Ian where can I find the report do you have a link to it.. Cheers
  24. tangocharlie123
    Can all of you good men and women please help. Apart from buyer beware is there any other pittfalls to purchasing Second hand Avionics From America. With the new CTA endorsment and the lack of secondhand transponders here in AUS American Ebay looks good and some of the secondhand stores.. Better than sending our stimulus to Asia Cheers
