    Testing my air brake🤪 Also needed an image of the mits with the fingers exposed to operate the brake, push radio knobs and adjust the mini ipad screen, they are very practical and also warm.

    He sure is, took me for a fly in his Karatoo many years back and Miss Sandgate is in top notch condition as well and he looks after them great.

    Flew Palmyra to Lake Dunn (bit to the north of Longreach) weather was going to be ordinary with 30 knots and rain forecast for today (Sunday). Friday night windy had dropped wind by 5 kts and rain by 0.5mm so decided to give the trip a go. Flight out 207 nmls was completed in 2 hours flight time and return was 3 hours due to the head wind and deviation adding another leg due to low cloud over the great divide up our way. At least 25 aircraft made a trip of it most for two nights. Only got to 5 degrees C and cabin heat was nice plus nice to dial in for no foot pressure holding rudder. Had a great evening burger meal and Shane arranged Avgas and 95 so all and all a terrific catch-up. Flew over a couple of the many coal mines up this way. (Two short videos at end.)

    Adjusted the rudder centering bungee tension and did a 36 minute flight to evaluate the trim. In preparation of a 2.5 hour each way trip planned for the weekend. With the adjustable trim wheel I was able to move the bungee 11mm towards the port side so there was no right rudder foot pressure required. On landing I measured the bungee position and set the trim wheel back to its centre and moved the bungee car to the 44 mm from centre reference so that it is set sweetly and I can make any further adjustments as required. It’s a great addition to the cockpit. IMG_0500.mov

    Take care with the thread (pitch, size, straight, tapered, metric, other, etc), needs to be correct as if wrong the housing cracks easily. Can be re tapped to suit certain thread sizes. They get cracked often when care not taken, (close enough is not good enough.) Be warned all, hope this helps.

    For me it's something you want to do, some don't. I called in a hangar this afternoon as I was on my way home from being at my aircraft. The pilot there during our conversation said he meet a pilot who had just decided to stop flying; he was 100 years young and started flying at 85; he is another who wanted to fly and did it. Enjoy your flying endeavour, it's in your blood. Cheers.

    Enjoy a look this week.

    Will fly on one engine. Sue gave us an update last Thursday. The USA one is flying into Oshkosh. It’s built to fit Mozaic. I’ll let Jabiru announce the specs and performance etc in their good time. Some detail will be on their Webb site.

    Just chasing any info about these from anyone using them, particularly in Australia. I havn't got one fitted in my aircraft.
  16. Blueadventures
    That is the current name, I posted the old name, fink the business has changed a bit.
  17. Blueadventures
    Are these traffic alerts used in Australia? Complete ADS-B solution in combination with extended squitter-capable transponder (e. g. f.u.n.k.e. AVIONICS TRT800H/A) » Shows ADS-B traffic in the vicinity up to 8 nm » Proximity warning for all aircraft equipped with Mode S or Mode A/C transponder resp. FLARM® » Acoustic warning by internal buzzer and via external units (e. g. ATR833)

    Nice, yes looks like from certain assembly lines, so not all build lines. I'm still waiting to talk to Floods as my friends is not listed. He’s sending me the email he got answering his query when home tonight. His serial number 90408 is not in the list it’s on a 912ULS
  19. Blueadventures
    Thanks Danny I'm just curious as my friend did not get any info on what his next step is. Engine was fitted Feb 2025 and bought I guess late 2024. I have a call message to Floods asking if Harry or someone can call back when free and gave them the owners name as he emailed them last week. I'll post anything I hear. Cheers.
  20. Blueadventures
    My friend sent a question to Bert Floods as engine purchased last year and it is affected. They did not say what was needed or where to get it done. I can't find any info about what is required. Remove gearbox and send away? Anyone know what's required. He will likely contact Floods again or Wal.
  21. Blueadventures
    That is good and will be better when more available for the R and J pilots who currently use 98 or 95.
  22. Blueadventures
    Maybe they will supply say a regulated 98 in similar supply, transport and storage to how Avgas is done; that way the blend will be 100%.
  23. Blueadventures
    OK, understand, Just see how the owner configures it when he flys a demo flight for you, if there is a mass in the cargo area ask why.
  24. Blueadventures
    The RAAus pilots will achieve the same standard of procedures to access the airspace as others who have the endorsement, the aircraft will be equipped and the equipment tested to the required standard, so its responsibility of the pilot to fly within the airspace according to the rules. Any cowboys will be delt with; hope there are none doing the wrong thing.

    What is the matter your addressing? For example I have seen Jab 230's have lead shot / epoxy added aft due to not being able to get the nose up as desired at roundout / speed decaying and that is not a normal situation for 230's when rigged and balanced correctly. This was being done by an experienced Jab person; don't do it without seeking expert advice though. Is the elevator deflection up and also down as per the build manual. (This would be a first check, they have a pattern tool to check them. Perhaps Up is below spec? Have you contacted the factory with details of your matter, they will assist with good information, I'm sure. (If you PM me I'l ask my friend who has helped with 230's if he is happy to talk to you, I sure he will.)
