    those blokes in the video were charged $600 in fees for landings . charged a passenger fee for each seat in the plane . charged for the terminal which they were not allowed access to. watch the video.
  2. BrendAn
    Look up the video for the real charges ..

    Skippy, look up Jabirus fly north on YouTube. Have a listen to the fees they got charged by the Thursday island council for using horn island airport. It will make your eyes water. They charge rec pilots full commercial fees. And the council hide the fees in the general charges page and make no mention of them in the horn island aviation section.

    the vdo tach has a hall effect type pickup. the tach itself has pos and neg terminals and a sensor terminal. i would have thought putting power and earth to it would light up the hourmeter but as i said, i know nothing.
  10. BrendAn
    yes. but i thought putting power and earth to it should light up the hour meter. maybe not. i don't know anything about it. i think i will send it off and get it looked at.

    On the news they said it went through a fence. Not like them to get it wrong.😁

    Thanks niel

    It went through the fence. Probably what flipped it. Just a guess , would love to know the whole story.

    looked like one wing broke off, now it will be jabiruted

    I have the tacho on the bench. I get nothing when I put power direct to the terminals. The problem is in the tacho itself.
  17. BrendAn
    i notice on this one the needle will flick up for a second when you apply power then its dead. and the hours don't come on. do think it might be just a power problem.

    its the tacho jabiru use . it won't be anything special. they would be an off the shelf diesel unit. 2 of you have mentioned howard. might give them a ring.

    i have a vdo tacho that is not working in the jabiru. it runs off a sensor on the flywheel. it has the inbuilt hour meter as well. Can anyone tell me if it can be repaired. it doesn't power up. i would hate to throw it out if its just a dry solder joint or something simple. a new one is $440 which does not bother me. its the loss of the recorded hours i would like to save.

    heard a radio report before about a plane going through a fence and ending up on its roof at baccus marsh this morning. pilot treated at the scene. Brendan doesn't have a shift key on his device.

    Got no flying trips to report at the moment . So I thought I would post some pics of the Jabiru I am getting ready to fly. Hopefully within a few weeks. Found a fair bit of work to do . But it has good bones. Have to repair or replace the exhaust. Carb heat flap is seized. Lots of cleaning and painting but it is getting there. Should be a nice plane. 600 hrs on engine . 1600 on airframe. It's a may 2004 build which would be one of the last LSA 55 s I think

    And with group g you can be ra or ga in a Cessna 150. There is no one left to represent ultralights any more. its evolution i suppose. people like to buy the aircraft they learn in . not much training done in rag and tube now.
