Blueadventures Posted December 29, 2025 Posted December 29, 2025 (edited) Are any forum members attending the Rotax Heavy Maintenance course on 19 to 21 January 2025 being held at Bert Floods? Edited December 29, 2025 by Blueadventures
Blueadventures Posted January 13 Author Posted January 13 (edited) Just bumping question, are any forum members attending this course? The date should have read 2026 (My bad) 19 to 21 January 2026. Edited January 13 by Blueadventures 1

Where & when was it advertised?😈
facthunter Posted January 18 Posted January 18 IF you were Interested, you'd have queried Blue Adventures Post, over 3 weeks ago.. Maybe. Nev 1 1
Moneybox Posted January 18 Posted January 18 I'd love to do the course but it takes me a while to get there and I didn't see it. I think I was away about then not that I'd have got there anyway. I'm too tied up with mining related things right now. Gold is almost on $7000 an ounce so it's all go around here. Mrs M got a bit carried away too. She's decided we need a little more security. This little beauty from the late 19th century weighs in at somewhere over two tonnes. She's always worried that someone might escape with the current one, it only weighs about 700kg. I'd love to fly out and pick it up but when I did the W&B it looks like I might need to reevaluate my transport options. 2
Blueadventures Posted January 18 Author Posted January 18 Another in Feb, I just took first one incase next was cancelled and also peak of cyclone season so flights in and out get cancelled. Heavy is $1800 (not sure how many grams😏) ‘is’ engines one day $600. Also a line maintenance two day I think at $1200. I’ve been trying to do it since before Covid. Unable to make the last April one that was the min, Tuesday, Wed after Avalon Air show. Looks like you need armed security for the contents of the safe. Find heaps, Cheers 1
BurnieM Posted January 18 Posted January 18 Do Floods have a webpage were they put up course dates, contents and cost ? 1
BurnieM Posted January 18 Posted January 18 I went off you try to find some Bert Flood info. They have a website but this forwards to FlyRotax that has only very general information. They have a Facebook page which appears to have not been updated since 2019. Eventually found some current posts on Linkedin but again without any detailed information - https://www.linkedin.com/company/bert-flood-imports/posts/?feedView=all Wierd - a business selling a not cheap product that appears to have no interest in selling itself.

I haven't done any business with Floods for about 18 months and before that 24. It may have been my imagination, I got the distinct impression , by the second visit, that moral had dropped. No idea why😈

These courses are aimed at Rotax service agents and persons on historic wait lists and then they will advertise broadly. First day terrific and fully hands on. Highly experienced facilitator from UK.
