    My radio isn't great first thing, for me if the battery is low the Jabiru doesn't provide enough power.

    But the early adopters help fund the better technology in the future. It's still early days, cars are starting to see major changes. Aircraft will be slower to change but I'm sure it will happen.

    Also, he doesn't say the duration with 2 batteries which is the default installation. I assume 1 hour is 4 batteries.

    I would get rid of the chute and add more batteries.

    Reminds me of the 80's when someone created an inflatable windsurfer.

    Very well flown.

    I use both actually all three. I have the card, the bunnings cheapo and the RAAUS. What can go wrong?

    Someone created this once. Remember it's not an official chart. J430 TO dist chart estimator.pdf

    For the landing roll, be careful with your approach speeds. It is so easy to float the J230 though once on the ground it doesn't need much distance.

    That is impressive, I've never watched a cross country in a glider before.

    I like doing it because besides the basics, he puts me through my passes with many different scenarios and I am pushed. I love it. As XAIRVTW said, doing it my own aircraft is good for familiararity.

    How much more would vinyl weigh though?
  13. mkennard
    You're missing these, otherwise excellent.

    This type of flying looks very realistic. I think there was one other video a couple of years ago with similar skills. Thanks for sharing.

    My insurance was up this year and there was another thread a few weeks ago about this discussion generally about how insurance has gone up.

    I think you mean Sky Echo.

    I test flew the 170 and the 230 and ended up choosing the 230. I fly mainly on my own but it just feels like a much better and powerful plane when I do my cross countries. I call it my station wagon.

    I agree, it's about safety. I purchased a PCAS once, now the company is broke, I know why, doesn't work well if at all and plenty of ghosts.

    Don't think the producers will be happy with that. They charge a fee for it.

    I placed mine on my rear window behind me. Might be better since I have a plastic plane but it showed up on AVPLAN no problem.

    I read later on that AVPLAN need people to set up receivers around the place and upload the data to Avplans feeder systems from what I understand. In my office I can fire up AVPLAN and see traffic all around Sydney and beyond. https://www.avplan-efb.com/avplan-traffic/ Look down the bottom.

    " In 2013 we introduced the first ADSB-in capability into AvPlan EFB and in 2015 introduced AvPlan Live which expanded this to include other AvPlan EFB users. In 2018 AvPlan Live traffic was expanded to include data via a network of ground based receives to show some ADSB and FLARM traffic as well." Also, with the latest ios for iPads I don't think you need to do the work around for "No Internet Access" anymore

    https://www.avplan-efb.com/avplan/traffic-displays/ This has more information. Notice at the end a little dig at the opposition to share data?

    I can't find anything on the Oz Runways site that confirms the internet side of ADSB. Someone with Premium will have to update us. As per my test last week, I still had internet but on the Oz Runways site they still have a page on how to set your iPad to support both connections. Maybe Apple did something because now you can't set a static ip without a gateway which was required before.
