  1. If the airbubbles are only small, they will settle out in the bowl of the carby, no problems. ISharp bends in the lines, restrictyions etc will generate small bubbles but these aren;t a problem (at least I have found this). The large bubble (like an inch or so of line, would concern me greatly, but small bubbles, if not caused by holes or leaks in the fuel system are fairly normal for pumped fuel. Just my 0.2c worth (do not take this as gospel, check before actioning.) Cheers Maynard

  5. There's nothing wrong with a bit of self promotion for such an important thing as a published, and flown first solo. Congratulations. Send the article to both then if one doesn't publish, the other may and you are covering both bases. Again, well done and enjoy the freedom you have gained.

  8. It will be great to see another "little one" in the skies around Goulburn. Congrats on the Himax, must have been a great trip down!!!!
  9. I thought the issue was about the outsourcing of the Qantas work overseas when we have the competent staff here. Am I naive or has the Qantas reputation suffered by placing this work overseas and not haveing the same high standard of QA we used to have. Obviousy the bottom line rules in place of looking after the people who care and matter.

  19. I am trying to get hold of a copy of the Tony Hayes tail dragger training manual (students version). I can't seem to get onto the website site. Are these books still available, and if so where from? If not, does someone have one I can buy from them? Thanks Maynard
  20. Bigpete, I know what you are going through. My sincere condolences to you and yours. My thoughts are with you.
  21. The probe sits in the water jacket around the cylinders, unless it is longer that 6 inches it wont hit anything.
  22. Looks like the tent under the wing again, great fun last time!!!!!
  23. The probe that fits the standard hole in holden engines is the one that I use in my 582. Thread and nut on the top to take the sensor wire. Probe is earthed through the brass body of the probe.
  24. Take care Gordon, you are starting to sound logical and are making good sense. Remember this is the Government you are talking about and they ain't happy untill you ain't happy. 8)
  25. Hey Burbles, I also have a MTOW of 120kg and have a rag and tube aircraft,( MTOW 490kg). Runs a 582 and has no problems lifting me and doing navs (Goulburn to Inverell and return, Leongatha to Goulburn etc). The lighter aircraft will handle you just as well. I have also taken passengers with not much change in performance (but only up to MTOW 490kg.) Cheers Maynard
