  1. Repco are showing the concentrate. Forgot to pop in today but will tomorrow
  2. Yes, my link is for concentrate. Demineralised water is cheap enough too
  3. Cool. So just this stuff https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/engine-oils-fluids/coolant/castrol-radicool-coolant-concentrate-1l-3424673/p/A9458861?rgfeed=true&cid=google-shopping&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&region_id=100352&gclid=Cj0KCQjw0bunBhD9ARIsAAZl0E2rb3iqhcG67iPznsxs4IP52dclHIZeSPIwGuGa4TuL_9suGD7CGAwaAu1oEALw_wcB
  4. Engine is 912 uls. I think 2017.
  5. Tuned pipes too 😊
  6. From Rotax point of view it's fine- went together easily enough in the factory, what do they care if it's hard for someone else to remove 😄
  7. Rotax 912 90° carby tube for choke cable. To get two of those genuine, about $150 Inc freight. Or go to Ali express 🙂 https://m.aliexpress.com/item/1005004164377398.html?spm=a2g0n.order_detail.order_detail_item.3.604cf19cHB72xq I'm always mindful of cheap n cheerful. If it's something complicated and bespoke, I'll go genuine. But Rotax don't make the carbies, or the parts hanging off them. So why pay the Ro-tax?
  8. I have to remain optimistic that my plane will be flying this year, and with it I'll do my navs. With that in mind what are some easy to handle fly ins etc around the place? Flying from Boonah, so SE QLD and Northern NSW I think would be a good start.
  9. I like that head and cylinder is cast in one piece. Potentially less to go wrong.
  10. I have an aviasport tacho and I notice that the gauge face is paper and is slightly lifting. There's a chance it might stop the needle. How is yours? Flush?
  11. This is ground up work, not a clone. Looks interesting 😎 Doesn't look like it will be cheaper than a 912, but interesting direct drive alternative for the home builders https://www.kitplanes.com/110-horsepower-taiwan-surprise/
  12. So no one is interested in the actual story?
  13. A reminder about being aware of what your loose items could do https://www.google.com/amp/s/verticalmag.com/news/dropped-ipad-implicated-in-fatal-chinook-helicopter-crash/%3famp
  14. Was that not a rule back then? In any case, from that article it seems he wouldn't always stick to the rules...
  15. https://www.flightsafetyaustralia.com/2023/07/impact-at-polo-flat/
  16. Very interesting about how the cut should start. Makes sense. Learn something new every day. And then I mostly forget it 😄 https://www.kitplanes.com/vans-updates-builders-on-laser-cut-parts/
  17. Yeah, if you ve been at Caboolture, that visibility around the junction is not great with the trees in the way. Looks like the Pawnee is the glider tug after all. So both pilots very experienced. Makes me worry about what chance I have around busy places with my lack of experience.
  18. Couple killed in Caboolture Airfield plane crash identified as David and Jan Maddern - ABC News https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-07-28/aircraft-crash-caboolture-paramedics-respond-significant/102660186
  19. There's at least one VH plane involved, so they are going to investigate it
  20. Pawnee apparently not the glider clubs https://amp.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/jul/28/two-light-planes-crash-mid-air-collision-caboolture-airfield-queensland
  21. I was one of those guys that jeered at the Sierras. Now I wish I could see such a wonderful mix of cars at Bathurst once more. Even NASCAR is more interesting than Bathurst now. Sure, they all seem to be the same car too, but at least you get to see the whole race all at once. And all the crashes too. Watch Talladega Nights. Fantastic footage as well as a great comedy. If I ever make my way back to NC I'll have to watch a race. 😎
  22. Yes the C130 is mentioned in my original link. It's a much larger aircraft though so I imagine each would fill different roles...
  23. Yes, that Japanese flying boat looks handy. But you are talking about the world's biggest industrial nation, I don't think it's unreasonable for Americans to want to make their own. Everyone is talking about being more self sufficient with key industries, so as not to rely on other countries for staple requirements but the Americans aren't allowed to?
  24. I'm guessing it will be turboprop. https://www.flightglobal.com/fixed-wing/catalina-aircraft-relaunches-iconic-flying-boat-eyes-military-sales/154255.article
