    J170D Production

    trailer replied to CAV0K's topic in Jabiru

    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?

    All solo hours prior to certification are done under the direct supervision of the instructor who is required to be airside and contactable via radio. This includes solo circuits and training area flights. Most often there is no need for direct communication between student and instructor. Same applies for single seat BFRs.

    Correct, however, it is entirely reasonable that a new pilot would not just jump in a different aircraft, even if in the same category, after training in something different. It may be legal but it is not wise. Airmanship is the word which fits. BrendAn being in the position to learn to fly and own an aircraft is one of the most incredible gifts you can have if you love flying something you would already understand. Nice job.

    Primary training includes solo hours must be done in a 24, 55 or 23 registered ans L2 maintained aircraft. Nav an other endorsements can be done in 19 or owner maintained aircraft subject to the instructor being happy to climb on board with you.

    Jabiru fuel drain O-ring size. I took an o-ring off the fuel drain and took it to a local supplier. The 110 was too big so like for like this is what I installed. No leaks and did several aircraft. One early model Jab had a badly perished o-ring and did not survive removal, so was a good job done. Best supplier of course is Jabiru who I usually support for most items.

    Do you have a size for the O ring, I'm inspired to do the same.

    Only 17 aircraft for sale in the RAus members market currently, don't remember ever seeing so few l. Might be why some prices seem high to some. Don't seem unreasonable to me. https://aviationclassifieds.com.au/

    It's already a double standard for medicals. Maintenance and training requirements are to be different as well with the costs of administration by RAA to increase. As has been discussed elsewhere, compliance within the current GA and Recreational framework is a big issue in many locations already, this weight upgrade will add another layer confusion.
  13. trailer
    I suspect the issues are systematic created by the institutional strangulation of GA, the flow on to self regulated organisations is no suprise. It is increasingly very difficult to access instructors and maintance personnel in many locations.

    This extract from the RAAus CEO is somewhat concerning... 'As part of our ongoing Part 149 obligations, RAAus must provide CASA with a range of statistics, including safety and compliance data. For this first quarter of 2023, we’ve continued to see the same kind of non-compliances occurring, which is disappointing. As an example, we identified two aircraft flown without current registration, eight instances of Instructors operating with expired medicals, six instances of pilots operating without a current BFR, and the list goes on.'

    Heartbreaking. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04-03/small-plane-missing-in-bloomsbury-near-mackay/102178366

    That's fantastic news. Hopefully he is back in the air soon. Lots of us wishing him a speedy recovery.

    How is he doing?

    This is the RAAus team. No idea who gets paid or who volunteers. Photo from the RAAus Facebook page.

    Looks like an early model jab. Did well to get out.

    Along the lines of my post earlier, can anyone dirct traffic to an aussie supplier?

    I was replacing the 50mm silk (surgical) tape which was between the elevator/horizontal stabiliser until I discovered at my local chemist that it is no longer available in Australia. Looking for suggestions as to what other product is suitable for this purpose. (Picture is 3M silk tape apparently only available from the USA).

    Pretty sure Aerochute powered paragliders are RAAus, any other paraglider and powered paraglider is SAFA. Confusing and inconsistent system of self regulation however you look at it.

    Of that 3000 aircraft, how many are actually flying regularly, and how many are dust-gathering hangar queens? The mustering/station industry must be the major component of RA-Aus I suspect you are on the money here. I know of numerous hangars that have dusty, unused, unserviceable aircraft that have RAAus rego current. Probably simmilar in may locations.
