  1. Can you let us know if you get one. I have a bose anr headset and would like to add Bluetooth as well
  2. It's not April fools day is it
  3. It's good being bright orange when everyone around you is flying a lot faster 😁 Hopefully more chance of being spotted
  4. Why don't you just use the old BOM site. I only use the app on my phone and it hasn't even changed. I haven't seen this new crap one people are talking about.
  5. the new ceo of bom was on the radio yesterday and explained the figures. the 96 million has been the known cost the whole time. the 4 mill was only part of the total. i didn't pay a lot of attention but as usual the media sensationalised the story.
  6. join the club. my xair is easy to see. looks likje a big jaffa
  7. i think we are on 2 different pages . i pay the account by bpay no matter how it arrives.
  8. took me 4 years. once i found a good instructor that wasn't just there to build hours things progressed quickly. every time an instructor left , the gap in training would put me back to square one. you need consistency.
  9. i don't want to go off topic for long but since it has been raised. what is the lifespan of aluminium seaplanes that live in salt water like the sydney seaplanes. i imagine each annual would have a rigorous inspection but there must be places where you can't get too.
  10. I think a bloke that fastidious and also in the marine industry might know how to look after his aircraft.
  11. Why would it hurt me. Why make things easy for a parasite like avdata. If I see a charge for snail mail I will deduct it from the invoice.
  12. sent to your inbox too.
  13. https://xairireland.com/xairpoh.pdf
  14. Why would I make it easy for them. How do pay your avdata fees
  15. It's funny you say that. Avdata have the option for emailed invoices but I am sticking to snail mail . Hopefully it inconveniences them a little bit.
  16. Spare change for you anyway.😁
  17. So what do you hope to achieve. Do you want Rotax to make a special mechanical wastegate for you. Are you intending to buy a turbo Rotax.
  18. Fantastic.
  19. Magic morning for a local flight. Overcast but the air was smooth as silk. lake Glen Maggie was like a mirrorsalad farms
  20. Yes. Nice looking machines 3 rotor instead of 2 blade teeter setup which gets rid of the danger of blade bump I think. Pretty sure I read that somewhere.
  21. Great video about mustering
  22. 1. No offence, you are clearly wrong - a mechanical wastegate will adjust inlet pressures, as atmospheric pressure reduces/increases. 2. it may be that an aircraft turbo system having to perform over such a large atmospheric pressure range, eg sea level to 35,000ft, the mechanical may not be able to equal the TCU In this speculation, I would still wonder why Rotax didnt offer a cheaper mechanical option, with say a 20,000ft ceiling. which is it skip. you appear to be contradicting yourself in your quest to prove others wrong.😁
