  1. Fantastic looking aircraft..well done
  2. Did a couple of hours of circuits today. A bit windy to travel in the xair. Good fun getting touchdowns down to 30 knots though.
  3. Same here unless Collingwood is winning.
  4. i thought it was better than flying under them😁
  5. i flew over some powerlines the other day.
  6. when i spoke to the western power bloke it was about the powerlines from collie to albany after we had a big fire at tenterden caused by a powerpole fire. a lot more voltage than subdivision.
  7. sounds like good stuff. i am pretty sure lanolin is safe and you can use it in a pump bottle if you think aerosol is a problem.
  8. Instead, some of it is lost in the form of heat. That’s because no matter how efficient of a conductor a power line is, electrons will collide with other electrons, atoms and material in the line as they move through it. These collisions cause electrical resistance and generate heat. found this on the net
  9. i asked a mate at western power about this years ago and he told me that underground wires can't dissipate heat sufficiently.
  10. my engine coating is called inox. i spray my boat motors with it and anything else i want to keep corrosion off. great product. have you ever seen a rusty sheep.
  11. Check what oil is in it, as Rf said. Before you worry about anything else.
  12. what are these ac like. good to fly. easy for a low hour pilot. would like to hear from owners / flyers of these types. looking at getting one to learn tail draggers and cruise a bit faster than the xair.
  13. Wasn't he avoiding a bird strike. Thought I read that somewhere
  14. I have about 40 mts left. 17. Mackay. Shaped 17mm hoses for my isuzu trucks are $800 each.
  15. Sad night for the pies. Bloody Fitzroy beat us again.
  16. I have an email address for a bloke at the factory in India. Sometimes he takes a while to respond but most of the time he is fairly quick. I had the parts I ordered 5 days after I spoke to him. Freight is expensive but it's quick. Actually it's a Facebook address not email. Will get it for you.
  17. I don't see the point of group g for VH pilots once casa brought in the class 5 medical. Raaus must have lost a lot of potential converts. Fair enough for raaus pilots that want to upgrade mtow I suppose.
  18. I also have a direct contact at the factory and get any parts I need from them. The Australian agent is hopeless.
  19. Has got standard entry. If it has it's a pia to get in and out. I fitted a wide entry kit to my last xair. Made a huge difference. My new one has been widened even more.
  20. must have been a ufo. heard nothing more after that post.
