Does the average RAA Aus member really care where the HQ is?. Most of us never go there, contact only by mail or email, and really want to be left alone to fly. Seems that we might be thinking of spending members funds on something that may be better off left lie and have the funds spent on more important things like reducing membership fees, etc etc.

Yep, I must be a GA reject because I am definitely not a GA wannabe....

Just a thought, what about eh staff we have employed. Nick has hit the nail on the head. Who will move, who wont, what expertise will we loose, etc etc. Does it really need an airstrip attached? If so, why?.

does anyone know what the acceptance cert limit is for the Xair Std. Told it was 544, then Raa Aus said 490kg.

Ipad and mobile may affect transponder
robinsm replied to DrZoos's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
Nope, Xair doesn't have a transponder so no worries... -
When the engines off, I thought the priority would be getting it on the ground, not joining the circuit and being pretty about it. Circular decent over the airfield so you can at least put it somewhere flat.

That's where glider time comes in helpful. No engine, no panic, fly the aircraft.

who said that fun is all about economics? hell, if I was that worried about paying fir a hobby then I wouldn,t do it. Tube and fabric..2 stroke...slow and fun. sounds like a recipe for fun to me. Remember folks, this is meant to be a recreational activity, not a "whose got the biggest........activity. I do this for fun, what do you do it for?

may be the thread should be retitled "bad experience with Jabiru Engine" The actual aircraft seem to be great...

Lumpy hot weather, good for developing bump tolerance....!!

My Xair, purchased as a kit, then purchased a motor, instruments etc cost me all up (built it myself, 19.. registered and then trained in it as the builder after the 25hrs had been flown off, made for very affordable flying.) cost me about 28K all up. Resale seems to be about 17 - 20k so relatively cheap flying. Who the hell has 100,000 plus to spend on an rec aircraft. I would be too worried about scratching it. I can go aanywhere they can go, albeit slower but then it is RECREATIONAL flying, not business flying. I do it for relaxation not ulcers.

I believe there are still flying schools using Gazelles, lightwings, NZ Waikato use an Xair. Don't give up yet, there are some out there.

it never stopped being trendy with some people.....

Advantage of higher cruising speed (headwinds)
robinsm replied to skeptic36's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
horses for courses, slow and steady does me but then I am not normally in a hurry to get anywhere and can sit and wait for lower head winds. If they are to strong, I just don't go there. Simple. -
The blue see through fuel line I have used has lasted 6 years so far. (also purchased from wade ) about 2 metres of it are constantly exposed to the elements when in the air. Still soft and pliable but I am wanting to change it as per maintenance time lists for my aircraft.
-
Where does one buy see through fuel line in OZ. I bought my last lot through Wade Air at Orange but I believe he is no longer in business. The Xair is about due to have the fuel lines and engine mounts replaced.
