I don't know the answer to that but Apple do it with their Apps. They don't display the price of the App, you only find out when you see the debit on your credit card at the end of the month.

One of ours is the same as this. It lives in my prospecting harness. Before going out last season i pulled it out for a look, the zip was seized so the PLB was inaccessible. The case is so solid that without tools you'd never get inside. It took me a few hours soaking with CRC to loosen the zip and remove the PLB. It's still in life and tests ok but now has a good coating of lanolin grease on the zip and I check it once in a while. Our Ocean Signal PLB1 is in Mrs M's harness and is right on the end of its 7-year life so I've ordered a new one to be delivered with the new metal detector. At about $300 I don't think it's worth replacing the battery.

No guesses so I'll tell you ☺️ It's a bit old for my memory to be accurate but I think it's called Kentville. The name might not be accurate but the coordinates are.

Looks a bit like there could be a gully through the halfway point.

We dropped into YPIX this afternoon. Looks a little in need of maintenance although the airstrip is in perfect condition and unique in the way you could land in any direction you choose. The accommodation was quite limited, the tower was invisible and the only aircraft sounded like it was somewhere near 5000'.

Plenty of silicone options if this design will fit https://ebay.us/m/dCQVDG

If you take a look at the steering rack on your vehicle you might find what you're looking for. These are easily available as an automotive replacement part and vary in size depending on the vehicle size.

I did that in my Polaris Microlight in a car park in Balcatta. It’s powered by a Rotax 503 and 60” three blade prop. For the first three metres or so it took off slowly then gripped the wind and virtually flew, up on one rear wheel, then the other before a dramatic tumble down the car park. After that I need a new prop and a fair bit of skin regrowth. It may have helped if I’d fitted a helmet and attached the seatbelt 🥹.

Ok, I guess we did stray a bit 🙃

I don’t see the problem. Skippy started a thread “Solo around Australia”. I responded saying I’d join him but I might have to add power to keep up. BrendAn replied to say that it wouldn’t help much. Seems to me we’re discussing “Solo around Australia”?

If you are not careful you'll turn an adventure into an organised event. Where's the fun in that?

Yes I'll tag along but I think I'll be joining at the halfway point 😉. Just wait until I get the 912ulf installed or you'll be leaving me behind. After thinking about it for a minute, we could leave at the same time and land together at The Oaks.

I guess you guys have different radio frequencies in close proximity. Perhaps he was tuned into a different channel? No sign of him on your ADSB?

Ok, I haven't seen it done like that. I didn't realise fresh air was supplied to the cuff.

I just watched that video right through. He's one lucky guy to have his plane bring him down in one piece. I'm going to order another carbon monoxide sensor. This happened on my way to Northam, a three hour flight. I ducked into the plumbing supply shop and grabbed a pipe union. And then into Supercheap for a muffler bandage. It was enough to get me back home. I've since replaced the pipe but I smelt the exhaust fumes and didn't realise until I landed in Northam that the Zenith sounded like a tractor when taxiing.
