how come a flying school can run a ga trainer on condition for years but an raaus flying school can't. seems odd one can and one is not allowed. is it the long history of continental and lycoming , are casa confident they know exactly what happens over time.
-
ok. i will give everyone a rest for a while. its really not that serious.
-
Most of the time

We'll stop starting shit . Accept that other people can have an opinion too.

you can't zero time a rotax in a certified aircraft. if it does not have a certificate from bert floods it is not considered rebuilt. i deal in facts
-
whatever. you own the forum.
-
Keep your suggestions to yourself. You saw a chance to put someone down and took it like usual.
-
it does not have to be tbo either. there are plenty of raaus aircraft with pretty low hours but out of calendar time.
-
$1200 to shift to 24E. pretty much the same as 19. can be flown but not for hire or reward. its the way to unless its in a club or school.

a bit of exaggeration here. warbirds are not raaus
-
it was a rude reply to your abusive posts. i decided to delete it before it got stuck there.

i don't know why you started abusing me in the first place. i don't know what i said that was so bad. . and picture this . a school class builds an rv kit or whatever. all the students that participated in the build are eligible to train in that aircraft. they are only assisting aren't they.

i know someone who made his own 912 fuel injection but kept the bing carbys as well. he could switch between either. i think it was more for backup until the injection system was proven. if it was me i would keep it like that.

there are many to choose from these days. there some nice small superchargers on jetskis.

behave youself

if you know anyone with trucks that go to dandenong sth you can have it if you want it. it would be good for someone like you to play with. i don't have any use for it.

yes it was discontinued. parts are very hard to get. the non turbo version is supported by quicksilver, they stock everything for them.

a friend sold a gazelle a few weeks back. i was considering it but stuck with the xair. anyway the other day the buyer phoned the seller and said he had submitted the transfer and acr and raaus stopped it because the engine is running on condition. he purchased a newer engine and is having it fitted. A lot of expense considering the original motor is at 2300 hours and passes every test. thats why i like 19 reg . No one cares about that stuff. not at the moment anyway. i have to agree about the cost versus reward of flying as a hobby. $3000 p/a hangar fee. $40 p/h fuel, $6 every time my wheels touch the runway, 500 in reg and membership. hardly affordable flying like they used to promote. and as alf jessup said , at west sale we can only fly 2 days a week in the raaf airspace. those rc models with the cockpit view are looking pretty good.

i fly an xair without an autopilot😁. but on a serious note that hks engine i have is all electronic. dual ignition. dual computer and dual electric fuel pump. i have never seen so much wiring for such a small engine. the non turbo version looks much neater with the 2 bing carbs.
-
maybe you should contact raaus and deal with facts.
-
you told me i wasn't allowed to have a trim tab unless i flew a spitfire, i think thats a bit of exaggeration.
-
it is a casa rule not raaus
-
Well maybe you blokes need to have all the conversations I did with raaus. I am not picking stuff out of the air I spoke to several senior raaus staff and got the same response from all. You must build the aircraft or assist in the building of it to use it for training. This is 19 rego I am talking about. And yes if you handed the builder a spanner and he puts you down as assisting them you are covered. And builder is a bit of stretch for a lot of kits in my opinion. Maybe assembler is a better term. Most rag and tube ultralights are a Meccano set with some pull on skins yet they are classes the same as a plans built jodel for example. Bit of an insult to the scratch builder.

What hp is getting with the blower
