  1. It takes a fair swing to start a Rotax, but ALWAYS treat a prop as live, even if it's on a Jab...

    Know of anyone that would have a spare seat? I can help out with fuel etc...
  3. From memory a PC12 only needs about 500mtrs ground roll for take off? I know the ones that come into the farm strip are off the ground at about the same place a loaded 172 is.
  4. Ah yep, remember that now, friend of mine lives in Coffs, will have to time a visit one day.
  5. Bit of team work from others saved this chap in his open class glider some major grief. A dodgy video but you can see at the start the tail cover still on.
  6. Wouldn't that make you sick, turning up and finding your plane like that. I even tie down the C206 when I bring it home, only takes a few minutes and it can save you some serious sweat!
  7. Amazing how that works isn't it? Well done Andy.
  8. Nice one Jake. Let me know if you're ever passing through Toowoomba or Dalby and I'll take you for a fly.
  9. I got a hole in the top of my canopy which I stick my finger out after licking it. If the front of my finger gets' cold I know I have airspeed...
  10. Flew over there a few months ago in a J430!

    I really hope to be able to make it, but can't make any promises just yet. If I can't get enough time I'll just take something fast and do a day trip of it.
  12. Here's an RFDS PC12 coming into Pt Augusta the other day when I was there.

  14. Blowing cats and dogs here today, times like this I'm glad I have an aeroplane trailer to put it all away.
  15. Thanks for the help guys, will look into a few different ways and see how it goes! Arthur, I haven't had a real good test of it yet, but done about 15 minutes in the air with it and it goes pretty well, though I will like to pitch it up a bit more as it will rev out a bit much, climb out is improved dramatically though. And so much smoother it's not funny. My tank was starting to leak so decided I won't fly it till I fix that.
  16. Have you seen that video too? Gotta be the funniest thing I've seen!
  17. Coming up to 4yrs now... sheesh time flies!
  18. Well, I didn't say I excelled in school did I?
