The G3X Garmin. It requires some other ancillaries for it to operate. What actually else do I need to buy with it. Pitot Tube, AOT probe, I believe it has an inbuilt GPS. So do I need a remote GPS or areiel for it to operate correctly. Does it need a magnetometer??? Does it need anything else. I want to save on bundled shipping. Thanks Lyndon

Strobe, landing and wig wags questions
Lyndon replied to Lyndon's topic in Aircraft General Discussion
Thanks. I'm not a fan of the cost and complexity.. So it will have no lights at this stage. Thanks Lyndon -
Where do you guys get your aviation wire supplies from. Lyndon
-
I'm building a VH Experimental. Is it a requirement to have any of the above. Thanks Lyndon
-
Kitfox SuperSport.

I've ordered the kit with roll and pitch only. We are talking 12 months away before I have to fit servos. A lot can change but Dynon at this stage. I believe I can always fit the yaw servo afterwards if needed. Maybe just pre wire it in the fuselage. Thanks Lyndon
-
Done Thanks
-
Thanks. That makes sense. You have been happy with the Dynon ?
-
I'm not sure Dynon do a 3 axis. That is my initial thoughts for Avionics on the build. So it may require Garmin. Lyndon

I have no idea how it flies. It's a kit and I'm doing the options now. Eg they will weld a bracket for the yaw sevo. It's not cheap for a bracket I may not ever use . Roll and pitch Ive already included.
-
I'm going to incorporate an auto pilot into my build. Do I spend the extra dollars and get a 3 axis over the 2 ??? Lyndon
-
Thanks to all. Lyndon

Tail wheel upgrade on a kit fox. Any local Australian suppliers. That seem ridiculous expensive for what they are in the US. Lyndon

Jabiru 3300, prop and complete panel question
Lyndon commented on Lyndon's classified in Engines and Props
I'm considering VH experimental. I'm building. I only intend to have for 2 to 4 years. I'm taking this in two steps. Enjoy the build, then decide on the next stage which is 2 to 4 years of flying at which time I plan on doing around 400 hrs. Lyndon -
Jabiru 3300, prop and complete panel question
Lyndon commented on Lyndon's classified in Engines and Props
Thanks for the reply. I have given this a miss. I read the logs and the engine from 120hrs has been in and out and repaired non stop. It's not something I want, thus I have gone down the Rotax route. I'm now sorting an aircraft with the above. I think in the long run when I consider reliability and resale it's a no brainer. My idea was to buy the 230 sell what I don't need for 2 to 10 k and spend 60k. Thanks Lyndon -
2009 700hrs in good condition, well maintained. Still flying, all original, just had a top end service by a reputable aircraft mechanic. Engine complete, prop and the complete panel. ( No glass but does have a Garman GPS ). Thoughts on what it's worth to resell. I'm doing my sums on this plane to buy. The above are not needed if I buy it. Thanks in advance. Lyndon
-
Thanks for the input. White on the horizontal and I can paint the vertical. Im also happy to paint any non structural parts. One step closer to building a plane. Thanks Lyndon
-
I believe that is sold ?

As my previous post I'm considering a Jabiru 230. Thoughts please. The aim is to own for 2 to 3 years and travel in it. Eg about 2 to 300 hrs, then sell it. 1. Buy new. 2. Build my own at 760kg with VH and save 20 to 30k ( my preferred option ). 3. buy used. Concerns are 1 . reliability, eg I like new 2. Resale factory vs home built. 3. Home build gets me 760kg which I like. Advice would be much appreciated. Lyndon

Silver or a light grey would be considered a too dark colour in take it . Lyndon
-
I'm considering buying a kit and would like to paint it. Apparently being fibreglass this is questionable in a dark colour. Jabaru themselves won't approve it but say many do. Does anyone have any thoughts or real world experience in this. As you can probably tell I like the darker colours which get hotter. Thanks Lyndon

Looking to buy a J230 project. Damaged. High hrs. Kit half built. An aircraft with issues. Please contact Lyndon 0451860386 [email protected] -
At those hours I would bet the cam is gone. If you do buy it take off a barrel and have a look. 1200 for a cam plus lifters. Case needs to be split. Flat tappet valve trains don't last long. New rings for sure 600 bucks. . Barrels should be fine and the heads and valves should be fine as would be the bottom end. Gearbox service is easy as. You need some special tools which you can buy from bert flood. Remember don't hone those cylinders. Crc and and a clean rag is all they need. Also don't touch the valves. They are non serviable. Valve stem seals. New colets. Check your heads for hardness. Media blast them and if you want a very light hand lap on the seats. Lyndon

I have placed a simple two way switch on the panel. One way for the panel switch and the other for the ray Allen. Problem fixed. Next question. Is the book correct that the roof can't be done until the wings are on. I want to get as much done at home before the hanger trip and assemble the wings and tail. Thanks Lyndon
-
I'm thinking a simple toggle switch to interrupt the two wires to the servo. So its either on the dash or the stick. Thus no feed back Lyndon
