    A mate of mine was in Viet-nam, he said they attached some big gun to the helicopter that was in use. When they fired it the first time the helicopter stalled!

    I noticed the cup holders are above the "laptop", a bit dangerous.... You would hope most items are spill proof?? wg

    One of the reasons for the longer Barrell in they suposedly got sick of machining the stock .040 over size commodore pistons down by .05mm. I learnt this when I had to replace one piston earlier this year.... If you compare an unmachined piston, I had both in hand. We wondered why there was visible difference. As far as I know compression difference, is achieved by different "indent" in the top of the piston. It makes replacement Barrells and pistons a bit tricky.. wg

    You will be made very welcome at Boonah, especially at the Flying Tigers. You can camp there short term. You'd need to arrive on the weekend for best results. There is a Caravan park in town where you can camp longer... No water hole but beautiful scenery. Club facilities available during weekend and public toilets only during week. Its a magnificent flight from here (Boonah) to Murwillumbah... Cherabah resort, (Leave from Boonah) would be worth a look as well (They have their own airstrip), they have accomodation and cater for day visitors. If you come during the 3rd weekend of the month you can join in for the monthly BBQ Lunch at the Tigers club!! wg

    Weather looked bad, but a couple of pilots "braved" the cold, weather was quite ok.... Food was good as ever. the few that were there enjoyed the day....

    I went to K-Mart or similar and purchased an extra-large "pencil case" Its about the size of an average notebook computer, has a "ring binder" inside to hold anything you want to punch holes in. It fits many maps, a couple of rulers, large flight computer etc etc. Its basically a material covered folder.. and cost somewhere aroung $15.00 ... As long as you don't mind the "sufie" motifs on the outside.... It fits comfortably behind the seat or on the passenger floor...

    I fly my own aircraft, (Jabiru) the engine is air cooled, therfore I don't do touch and goes..... the taxi back to take of position warms the engine again ready for full power (Glide approach, cools engine)... A number of my pilot friends won't do touch ang goes for the same reason.... In my view a full landing teaches more... A touch and go in my jab would actually be easier... I think my landings have improved due to "full" landings in practice..
  16. wizzard1964
    It was going to be around $5.00 but the management decided to make the cost about the same as the nearest "cheap" airfield . . . ttfn

    Landing fees will be closer to $10.00 per landing.. (It SHOULD appear in the next ERSA). unless you are associated with the airfield in some way... (eg an invited guest). Fees are collected by a specialised company, nothing to do with the Council.. Outside flying schools have been getting a free ride of late, and making the most of it ! TTFN

    (very) rough figures: registration $200 p/ year fuel $1.50 litre (premium unleaded) expect to use 15 - 25Litres per hour license $200 p/a airport fee: a. hangerage $100 plus per month, if it can be found b. usage of airfield $200 plus per year (very) rough figures ttfn wg

    Ian, Frontrunner is the same as per the attached pic. (maybe the new stuff is know as it as well) all images I found were the same as the attached pic.. The material we used has no lines in it, this makes is much easier to use. (They(Jacksons) said it is more commonly used these days. WE paid around $15 - $20 per metre, we purchased about 3-4 metres of it. My wife installed it it took about 2 - 3 days, there is still some remaining, we have not done behind the seats,where the fuel tank is, it is painted and it is not neccessary... TTFN WARICK . . .

    ....Wizzard continued on to say ...." Hi Guys, I'm Tony Tecnams Cousin! You might remember Tony, he's Jabiru Joe's Neighbour... Jabiru Joe used to get on the grog and lose is airfield". Is that you Bronny, I thought you'd been banished by Kevin 7-24-7 to another land?".........
  23. wizzard1964
    I would definatley not recomend frontrunner, it looks good, but the other material is great, I'm sure that'd be available...

    "Geez that wasn't what I expected when I knocked on the door? I know its a while since I appeared in your never ending story" (It was Bronwin Beehop, back again) "I've been OS for a while now." " I just thought I'd take the NEW shaft drive Harley Sportster for a spin". Bronny dropped her Ttatered Leathers on the table amoungst a pile of old AUF magazines " You need to get that door fixed anybody could walk in!" With that who should walk in, a blast from the past.........

    My mate has a SP3300, he has tested his, if it does not turn over fast enough (when Cold), theres no spark! He said today that if it is under 300RPM no spark - no go.... Jabiru is working on a mod for the electrics, that boosts it cold starting, but it is suposedly? hush hush ! My mate did give his carby a thorough clean recently, this did improve the cold starting, but has not fixed it.. TTFN Warick
