    One key think is to look at the tables that give MP settings for each RPM setting. Also there will be a climb RPM and MP setting. Its not complicated but as others have said you need to be briefed on the concepts. One thing to remember is that a CSU is a Constant Speed - so when you say set 2400 RPM it stays at that whatever the throttle setting (within reason)

    Damn - this will be the first time I have been in the area to go to this event - I will go anyway but rain doesn't help

    I told him about this thread this morning - he was pleased ! We all trailer our bikes to these rallies - would take a month to ride the pre-1918 ones interstate !!
  6. IanR
    Well - his Indian was born in 1918 - and only has one lung !

    Nev is up here in Kingaroy at the National Veteran Motorcycle rally riding a very old Indian - you will be pleased to know he is in fine form !!
  8. IanR
    That is good timing - I will be driving home from the National veteran Motorcycle Rally in Kingaory on the 27th - may have to detour to Caboolture !! Sounds like a great event.

    Its just dual but worth doing too see what they are like. Great fun - I am lucky now as a friend has one I fly a bit.
  10. IanR
    There is a 180 at Camden available for dual through Curtis - they are worth flying - great fun

    I had a look through the forums before posting this one - there was a similar request related to southern states. Nothing for NSW. In my research I also found the AOPA Touring Guide which is great - bought it yesterday. Has lots of info but not all up to date. I agree with Chris - an online directory would be great - but I guess the normal issues of keeping current. Maybe a forum section here broken up by state where people could just put up a post stating where they went and some of the details ? It would be easy to look through that.

    Yeah - I should have been more specific. Unfortunately I don't have access to that 210 any more (lovely thing it was). More like 110 knots these days. Place looks interesting though Thanks for the other suggestions - Middlebrook looks fantastic Would be great if there was some sort of directory for these types of places

    My wife and I have a kid free weekend coming up - we would like to fly to a B&B which either has its own airfield (preferably) or is close to one. One to two hours flying time from Sydney. Any suggestions ?

    I have tried downloading waypoints and flight plan from FP3000 to my new Avmap GPS and can't seem to get it working. Neither user manual sheds much light on this. Has anyone out there got it working who could post some instructions ?

    Love the sounds of a Harvard on takeoff !! On the C180 I fly the tip noise is very loud on takeoff so we always reduce RPM - makes a huge difference - very noise sensitive residents round here (who moved in after the airport was built)

    Thanks for the responses folks. Gives me a broad idea. Apart from the permanent structures has anybody had any experience of the fabric "transportable" ones ?
  17. IanR
    I may have the opportunity to build a hangar. Was wondering what options there are and the sort of prices I would be looking at. Relocatable may be better than permanent. We are looking at something about 12M wide by 10M or maybe about 20M to fit more than one aircraft.

    Fantastic Ben ! A great record
  19. IanR
    Yeah - I would gladly have most !! Were you there in an Auster - which one ?
  20. IanR
    The 195s are beautiful aircraft - there were 6 there of the 7 in Australia !! The other one is awaiting an engine replacement. The highlight of the airshow for me was the Southern Knights - a Harvard formation display team. For private pilots they are awesome
  21. IanR
    That was me !! You seemed to be on a mission Was a fantastic weekend - and the flying conditions were perfect !! We were certainly lucky with departure though - there was a huge queue at the taxiway when the Roulettes finished. A certain cheetah was #1 and we were #3 so very quick getaway. Got back to Camden in plenty of time

    The Antique Aircraft Association is having its national flying at Echuca this weekend (1-3 April) - looks to be a big event. Anyone else going ? We are flying in Saturday - departing Sunday after the airshow.
  23. IanR
    I must admit that my feelings were it was fine as an event - but not much of an airshow - not even so much as a turn from the display aircraft let alone proper displays. I gather there was some issue with CASA ! I was on the vintage bike display and had a good time
  24. IanR
    Weather looks good for Sunday - and a great program listed now its officially an airshow !
