  1. Allows takeoff in northern hemisphere and landings in southern hemisphere airfields.🙃😊
  2. Bit like the Cockatoo that chewed wiring on the Gilmore Rocket at Bowen.
  3. Absolutely agree, that's the tube I have an have used for years. Sort of expensive f you only want a bit for one or two jobs.
  4. Any chance of a collapsed wheel bearing causing disk rotor to lean into brake pads?
  5. Try contacting Rob Stowe at Coastal Aviation on Sunshine Coast Queensland Australia he makes part for the Skyfoxs
  6. I use the Bendix brake grease product, blue colour and also put a smear between caliper piston and back plate of brake pad to reduce squeaking.
  7. Have you tried pulling each leg forward and noting the ease / resistance of wheels turning after your taxiing? You're getting friction somehow. Even worth trying the same with park brake applied.
  8. You could just jack wheel off ground and spin wheel by hand then apply brake and see if it stops then release brake pressure and see if wheel can spin; do same to other wheel. This will confirm if the caliper piston is retract Ing. Be a good start. Have fun and solve the issue. Cheers.
  9. Is the piston returning (coming off, the pad retracting off the disk surface); if not that cause heat.
  10. Terrific to see; we need to ramp up making stuff of good quality and reliable.
  11. The manual is in the Skyfox forum lists for the CA25
  12. Good business sense, like $30 a lesson for maintenance and new engine at 2000 hours if Rotax. Just my opinion and post info.
  13. Maybe some schools add 5 or 10 dollars to their lesson price to accrue for any insurance excess for claims. If not they should think about it.
  14. This would be an excellent topic in 'Sport Pilot" with some scenario examples.
  15. They can be found in tree bark, at night use a UV torch as they light up a bit.
  16. Did you solder or crimp the connector pins and sockets to the wire harness? I soldered mine but have a crimp tool now should I have to fix any of redo harness. Cheers.
  17. Flew today and can confirm that the Trig with two freq entered and with dual watch activated it retains being on dual watch when flipping between the freqs (eg 132.05 and 126.7 and flipping between a number of times). Don't know why skips doesn't do that, maybe an earlier model of trig.
  18. A good transmitting and receiving clarity is essential for enjoyable flying; trigs will provide this performance. I rarely alter the volume on my trig, the radio is switched on via a separate panel mounted beside the radio head unit toggle switch (after start and before shut down of the rotax.) They are worth the cost.
  19. Trig is working great in mine. Head is remote from the unit. They will supply wiring harness to your measurement needs. Or you can do yourself. If you get a trig and do your own harness I’ll loan you a crimper (4 way) for the connector crimping.
  20. Nice fly out to the coast to see if the water clarity is good enough to dive tomorrow and chase some Barra. Over cast and low cloud but nice. One other training Tecnam in the air as well. So not too busy🙃😊
  21. Standing next to the AirCam it's lie a Drifter on a triple dose of steroids.
  22. Best to shell out for a Zulu set, 3 or Delta. 3's are magnesium very robust. They are worth the money.
