Good to hear of this practical result! -
Hi Burty Welcome to the Forum!

There is also the Maverick flying car that has been around for more than a decade:

That's good to hear Jon.

Very sad to hear. My condolences to the pilot's loved ones!

Is it possible to have Plain English weather converter for New Zealand?

I just googled and saw a picture with the ICP vortex generators fitted. Perhaps I just googled and saw a picture with the ICP vortex generators fitted. Perhaps this will help with you with your orientation question?

Strqnge: there seems to be a really heavy concentration of ADSB infrastructure in the North Eastern quadrant of Tasmania, compared to the rest of the nation. (Marty had better get ADSB on his CH 701)

I remember Bert. Bert is a golden yellow Muppet character on the long running television show Sesame Street.

I agree: COVID 19 has changed things significantly. Some of those who were flying are now grappling with saving their business from extinction. The lockdown (and restrictions on flying) has diminished interest but I believe it will only be temporary. I started a thread about E-props recently and this has already been viewed many times and responded to by a number of posters. There is certainly interest out there! Please do not be overly concerned, Ian. Post-COVID 19, we trust, things will get back to normal and recreational flyers will pick up where they left off in March 2020.

☆ There are an avid bunch of flyers here in New Zealand and they do not all fly Avids. Many of them would probably love to be part of Recreational Flying ...if only they knew about the site. About one third of the New Zealand aircraft on the CAA's aircraft register are "microlights" ... which are sub-600 kg aircraft similar to RA-Aus planes. If you add other recreational aircraft (eg GA and LSA aeroplanes) it may well be over half. Is it possible to promote this site more in New Zealand in order to increase interest?

This has been my experience as well. 'Googling' for specific information often brings me to a helpful post into this Rec Flying forum.

Hi Jon, There is a place where there is a fair bit of this information, posted by John Gilpin (who is Forum member JG3). Have a look at this Australian site: www.stolspeed.com . I hope that this website will be useful for you.

It sounds like a fairly straightforward operation. -
Jokes aside, this is an interesting and significant development.

That map looks like a nice piece of native art!

You can buy carbon monoxide detectors for about $10-15 from banggood.com but they run on internal batteries. It will be pretty easy to make up a little circuit to run of the Savannah's 12 Volt supply. For instance: https://banggood.app.link/fNZx3ULmZ7 . If you want to buy the CO sensor module only, they about $4 or $5, e g: https://banggood.app.link/mg6smjVmZ7
