I am curious to know how much you or your buddy pays for a single hangar block lease or rates and for what size block. Could you also include the location, if it is private, club or public, add info on what services (if any) are available and if its a lease how long is it. Trying to present something to a council for them to think about making some space available for private hangars.

I'll take it if not gone already.

trailer replied to turboplanner's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
That incident was in 2023 and started doing the rounds again on Facebook on the 1st October 2025. It is old news. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19mMx8bw6j/ -
Looking for a J160 or J170 with a g4 or in need of an engine upgrade.

Looking at a trip to the Sunshine Coast and interested to know if Caloundra and Gympie are RAA friendly. Would be looking to park up for a fortnight or so.

This is an old post but hopefully someone has a 55/3j pilot operating handbook online they can upload here.

If you are experimental you could look at race car scat hose which is 1/4 of the price.

With the cost of hangarage so high in the metro areas could it be an option to build a hangar at a regional location and RPT or train or drive for a weekend of flying. Camp in the hangar?

There are bargains still to be had if you really want to get in the air on a budget.

Who in Australia is doing the best price on a SkyEcho2?

Here is my preferred way to remove fuel from wing tanks if I am not/havent using/used the aircraft for a few weeks. Simple.

Can guarantee it's not certified, they are all over ebay etc. There are not many promoted for petrol and those that have the 60l min capacity range are $400 plus. Old mate had another chord which attached to the alligator clips to an anderson plug. Mostly he uses a small battery which sits in the box on the trolly using the alligator clips seen in the picture.

Here's one to take for interest sake (definitely not a recommendation and bound to be controversial) on a trip last year through Victoria I spotted this set up. Uses a $95 ebay diesel/kerosene pump that was being regularly used solely for 98 and avgas in a Cessna. Mounted on an old shopping trolly his jerry cans either in the trolly or ute and Anderson plug on the aircraft to power the 12v pump. Apparently 20l empties in 30 secs, no leaks and works well. Pump, hoses and auto nozzle part of the package.

AOPA would be interested to see that with the advocacy they are doing at the moment. -

What was the LSA55 pricetag new back in the 90s'. $170k for the 230 with kit is getting expensive.

this image above is the wiring diagram from Jabiru and the r2013.0.2x is the non genuine. The wires come out of the regulator in differnt spots but all end up in the plug in the same configuration as the Jabiru diagram.
-
this is a better view of the Jabiru/Kubota regulator wires.
-
There are OEM Kubota regulators available, first pic is a random one I found online the second image is from a Jabiru. The colour of the wires are different in sequence on the Jab and the online versions. My question is do the pins in sequence perform the same job on 6 pin regulators or are the colour of the wires the indicator of function?
