I just use a jewelers screwdriver or similar. Anything that has a small point is good.

Well thats not true for builders Nev. I am building a Group G and I have done the SAAA maintainer course. I believe the same rules for Experimental will apply to Group G..if you bring in a Cessna or similar the rules for maintenance will be the same because you are not the builder

RAAUS currently do not recognise Class 5...thats what they told me when I submitted mine as my medical...I had to submit the usual medical that I do which is the Austroads medical

Eprop balance the whole assembly inc the spacer no matter what length at the factory before delivery and each part is marked so it goes together exactly how it should be. All customers report that they have never flown behind a prop that is so smooth and finely balanced. I suspect that they use a 2 plane balancer at the factory because the balance of every prop is outstanding. There are balancing weights inside the spacer and also the spinner

The way I read the SB it pretty much says do it or if there is a issue we can say you didnt follow our recommendations. Now for Certified aircraft its a must otherwise Rotax can always give you the bird if you try to make a clain or ATSB said you didnt follow the "recommended" proceedures. We have 95 at our airfield but the club has decided to change our fuel to 98 based on this bulletin

The latest Rotax SB says 98 is now the minimun to be used for all 912 915 and 916 engines

Class 5 medical is a no brariner...I have one and I have to get a medical every year for my heavy vehicle drivers licence as I have "conditions" on it. Group G maint rules I believe will just be a carbon copy of the experimental rules for the likes of SAAA. so really that wont be a issue..just more bloody paperwork

I believe its all got to do with CASA for the hold up. As per all aircraft fly on paperwork. CASA are the universal kings of paperwork

It had a 912ULS in it. That pretty marginal for a aircraft at that weight and it did have 3 people in it so it would have been up there in weight. performance would not have been great at slow speed

Yes I make them up when I get some spare time. I have too many things on the go lately so its difficult to fit them in as I also make replacement Rotax ignition modules but they are easier to make up in large batches. The throttle kits have a lot more hand assembly and finishing. I do have another 5 bars welded up so can get another 5 sets made in the next week or two. Send me a email. [email protected]

Yep..go to Jaycar and get a tube or syringe of thermal heat paste..its white..thats all I use...works fine and does exactly what the very expensive rotax stuff does

RTFM Your turn off the transmitter in the SE2 and that way you use the ADSB out of your Trig or any other transponder and use the ADSB in of the SE2 to read the direct aircraft returns for your ADSB in Australia Use In Australia, EC devices are intended for voluntary fitment on registered and non-registered aircraft conducting VFR operations. They are not permitted for IFR operations. The fitment is not a substitute for mandatory carriage of a transponder nor mandatory ADS-B in relevant airspace. In addition, they must not be allowed to transmit when (a) in VFR flight at or above FL290; or (b) concurrently with a Mode S transponder that is also transmitting ADS‑B. An EC device may be operated in Australia concurrently with a Mode A/C, or a Mode S transponder (other than one that is transmitting ADS-B). UAT is NOT used nor permitted in Australia 6.2.1 Transmit Control Transmission must be deactivated when used on an aircraft with an air traffic control radar beacon system (ATCRBS) Mode-S transponder which has ADS-B OUT enabled.

Mabel is now back at Burpengary. I have purchased in partnership with a mate of mine a little fun machine that was too good to refuse for the price. It hopefully will be flown this weekend from where it lives at Coominya to YCAB so I needed to put it in the hangar. So Mabel is now back here in the new shed I have just had to put up here due to doing a subdivision on our block. So Mabel will be getting work done on it as my time has been very little to work on her since we started this massive subdivision here and other big jobs up at the farm. I will get the tailfeathers on and all connected also get the seat bases back in and do some finalizing on the wiring. I will bring the wings back here too and get them fitted as the struts will be slightly longer as I will be putting a little dihedral on the wings and the new shed is big enough for me to be able to accurately do this.Will also need to look at getting the seats made as well. After a little cleanup work on the Genesis it will go up to the farm then Mabel will go to the hangar to have the wings fitted and final fitout.

I thought they said it was a Cirrus maybe I misheard

Ch7 says its a untralight...also say ATSB dont investigate these....geez they still cant get it right...

I dont recall it being a problem on my Sav

here is one that may work..its a rounded roller but maybe get some of those 4 inch flat rollers and ut them down to fit..not sure as I used the paintbuddy. Amazon has the paint buddy listed now...maybe someone was sitting on some especially for the price. When I bought mine I am sure they were only 20 bucks or so Some of the TEMU ones are work a look certainly at the price and Temu are pretty quick on delivery https://www.amazon.com.au/SHUR-LINE-57930-Rubbermaid-Paint-Buddy/dp/B000A2JTNW https://www.amazon.com.au/Bestt-Liebco-Painter-Storage-557700130/dp/B07HRK9F77/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.5d1ztZflX0yaBPZtAsOjyT6yW0cbhJZ_hGIy85ekquAW1yS6HZ5wfjNAYDWeiZEfE40iG-_4uQClxa6jgqhSYUpcsMOAfKHLSThnM5BWveTeQG9x-64oJ92oHTu_Pp4989OSnPmhZSaZ6CvMHNr1l82h-j1Lj11uroIK-WzmP3R09bOsyLHsC8bpobry7AHbIerrug0yR56xnPjHfYrVy3UW15FDakco_Uy82puOIk_8q9mQvagWJxjdKqt-p1qf9sRCYSlphnpwNzVQJfDF8DXz16i_KwHfmjG5ghoNl3E.shyUUCWgEBiwLdmGi2IQSJvrZ6dYmvpCivTaP1OpHxs&dib_tag=se&keywords=paint+buddy&qid=1718425140&sr=8-1 Paint Rollers High density Fabric Roller Frame Tray Mini - Temu Australia WWW.TEMU.COM Find amazing deals of 8 paint rollers high density fabric roller with frame tray mini paint roller refills painting supplies for smaller diy stenciling projects on Temu.

Those streaks are fine but level off those drip runs with a gem blade or something. There are similar rollers still around from memory I did post some on this thread or another. I will find it and post it

The AV30 is TSO'd of course. Microair the price for experimental they said is US$5k so thats about AU$7000. You try to get a Garmin setup like G3 it will set you back 25K min with the gear it requires to be TSO'd The website says 2025 so I suppose we will see but to get them certified even the Microair boss says it will be convoluted getting it done. Its a nice idea I suppose but any sort of digital display panels or instruments are bloody expensive now.

Thats good that Sue is still there. She did a tour for me and she also had some great future ideas when speaking to her but I think Rod didnt want to do them. The new owner I think maybe a lot more forward thinking

Just machine up a plug from alu and machine in a Oring in the front flat surface ND A ORING IN THE REAR THREADED NUT WITH WASHER FACE FOR THE INSIDE. THEN IT WONT LEAK WHEN FITTED AND NO NEED TO PROSEAL. MAKE SURE BOTH ORINGS ARE VITON AND FITTED CORRECTLY INTO THIER SLOTS..opps not retyping sorry about the caps

I believe the new owner has more than 50% share. So controls the company and its direction. Stiffy is still there just for the profits I would think'

Christian if you are going to be coastal all the time then consider alodining. It actually isnt that expensive if you can find a powwdercoating place that does it. There are plenty around and they often have 6 metre long tanks that can do your skins no problem. The smaller parts you can do at home like I did. Just need to make a good size tank about 1 mtr long and about 300 high and 300 wide. Alodine..the good stuff is available...I got mine from a distributor over the south side of bbrisbane. My S rebuild is completely alodined . The sheets are easy..well the big parts because someone else does them for you but there is a lot of small parts. You need a acid bath first then wash them off then alodine them and let the alodine dry. The black stuff is still a must. I also would spray etch prime over the where you will be putting in all external rivets like the pics I posted

Enrico. yes. email me. [email protected]
