    Like Turbs, I think the Cherokee Six is a great load carrier - if I want to take 4 people plus gear it works really well. However, its usually only two of us touring so although my aircraft (Cherokee 180) will carry four people its really only a 2-3 person plus gear touring aircraft. Its nice not having to worry about each kilogram when deciding what to take on a trip !

    Great at the moment thanks Nev, are you still riding ?

    I did it a few years go. As well as the 5 hours there is a flight test as well as having to do a couple of multiple choice exams. After that assuming all good you can have all your PPL ratings and authorisations accepted (for those that are applicable to RA)

    IanR commented on red750's aircraft in Warbirds

    I visited the Shuttleworth Collection a couple of weeks ago and saw this. They are a beautiful aircraft.

    It was an outbound aircraft not inbound !

    Flyins are great as they really are a social event where we can have endless discussions about our aircraft and flying them ! Airshows are often a bit commercial. I always attend the Antiquers annual flyin - they have activities organised and its great to catch up with friends.

    They are pretty big.

    The one that hit me was in attack mode. Hit the wing near the fuselage. Wakes you up. Pushed the leading edge back quite a way.

    Happened to me a couple of months ago in the middle of the Nullabor ! Lots of damage

    Hi Nev, are you still riding ? Veterans down your way in October

    I plan on being there - although my aircraft may not be as its in maintenance. Was well attended last year. Hopefully the weather is OK

    I use a PingUSB - it does use USB for power only and connects to ipad via Wifi. It would not be suitable if you dont have a sim in the ipad and expect to use Wifi to connect to phone hotspot. I love it but sometimes its a little sensitive to position in the aircraft relative to the ipad. We flew about 12 hours on a trip last weekend with no issues.

    The amount of information we get from EFBs these days is amazing. We did what we had to before them but I think its much safer now.

    I have not tried SWS yet on my recently acquired Cherokee C 180. Will be interested to see what you come up with.

    When I had my new aircraft in for avionics work I kept the ADF - its a very classic one - for the look ! However it does still work. Flew over Wagga a couple of weeks ago and tried it out for old times sake.

    You are absolutely correct Nev !! About 50 aircraft out in the parking area plus a lot of hangars open. For some reason I can't edit that post to currect

    It was a lovely day with quite a nood northout

    Yes exactly - I have out on the aircraft already so the skyecho is overkill. They do look like a good thing though.

    I now have ADSB out on my aircraft. Have just purchased a uavionix PING ADSB receiver to display ADSB traffic on OzRunways. Have not tried it yet but should give similar input to the Skyecho at a fraction of the price.

    I enjoy the Foxbat. Not particularly fast but otherwise a nice aircraft. And its comfortable for my 6'2". I must get back in one - have not flown one for almost a year.
  22. IanR

    I am going - should be a big turnout of very interesting aircraft for the 50th anniversary !

    Are some people confusing QNH and QFE in this discussion ?

    I love OzEunways, have used it almost from its inception, and have no intention of stopping just because of an ownership change. Maybe in the future if all the dire predictions in this post come true I will change my mind but not until it actually happens.
