  1. My 912ULS engine has a CKT stainless steel exhaust system, very good build quality and no issues to date. CKT exhaust broucherv2.pdf
  2. All good, many stuff will work, only passing on what I know. Cheers.
  3. Download their maintenance and service manual (JEM0004) it'll list the coating types and the anti seize for the spark plugs - they do want what I posted on the spark plug threads now.
  4. I believe they want spark plug threads cleaned using a plastic / nylon brush and a solvent and installed with an application of Copper-max anti-seize compound to the threads. Maybe yours spark plug was cleaned with a wire or brass brush that has resulted in a corrosive binding reaction? (Just a guess) Nice its sorted and your operational in quick time.
  5. Just completed a trip of 4.4 hours to Donnington Airpark (YDOP) the last two days. It was great to visit there again and see all the extra things the family have done with Christian, Erica and their mum. Some photos of the trip up from Palmyra (YPYA) and return. The weather was a challenge in a few places but not bad enough to seek our alternates; flying with mates Colin, Ben and Jeff made for safe flying and decision making scouting clear air routes. Many thanks and see you again. IMG_9470.mov IMG_9478.mov IMG_9479.mov IMG_9480.mov IMG_9489.mov IMG_9490.mov
  6. The easiest compromise maybe to buy a rebirth project; and get an experienced person to check it over fist to eliminate surprises down the track. Good buys come up from time to time.
  7. Not needed in ERSA, add item to pre flight planning list (if it's not there all ready). The Avdata charges fees list is great (Thanks for that lead by a forum member). Like the weather forecast the fees info is need pre flight, especially if it's of concern (99% fees are reasonable).

    Wanted - Europa

    There is one listed in plane sales on Facebook Aviation Buy Sell Swap Australia at $55k
  9. That’s the method I like best. I also fitted a light that is lit when the starter is engaged.
  10. There are at least two types of start keyed switch; eg 1. Turn key to start (only to start) and 2. Key for ignitions 1 & 2 & both and further turn for the start function.
  11. Yes, provides the 12 volts from your start method (Press switch or key to start). How is your negative ground setup for the solenoid and the starter via the airframe or dedicated cable system to the battery? (via airframe is not my choice or the best practice.)
  12. Yep, don't want mice or rats eating wiring etc.
  13. Had a visitor at the hangar today; not sure if it is going to settle in.🙃😊 IMG_9430.mov IMG_9431.mov
  14. You could send an email to RAAus and provide what you have and hours type etc and ask what the conversion consists of; they will give a current requirement answer and you can compare that with local schools.
  15. I think the heat within the engine bay dosen't help; I put mine on cabin side of the firewall.

  18. People do Crays Ornate and Painted.pdfCrays Ornate and Painted.pdfCrays Ornate and Painted.pdfCrays Ornate and Painted.pdfCrays Ornate and Painted.pdfcall them Painted, but by mistake (I did the same years ago) Painted's have the stripe running length wise down the legs and lesser blueish colour and Ornate's have the leg striping around the legs.
  19. Try Tony Kerr at Gympie (GAM Gympie Aircraft Maintenance) He had some for sale a while back on Facebook Market Place.
  20. West has a great way of managing the Rock Lobster which should keep the catch rates and stock population sustainable. Coral Trout is the fish (Locally know as a coastal trout, Bar cheek or Long Spot Trout {as the spots are oval and oblong on the cheeks} the Cay is an Ornate Crayfish (we cook the tail meat and also the legs). Both top of the tree taste wise. Cheers.
  21. Water is 22 degrees; Cros don't eat when 22 degrees or less.
  22. No flying as went fishing with clear winter coastal waters up here🙃 Needed some fresh seafood.
