  1. Nice, I saw an image of the airport and doesn't look like any room to expand to a second parallel runway any time.
  2. Aircraft spruce in Melbourne if no one has some to spare.
  3. Can you erect a horse shelter on your property?
  4. And have refreshments at the 19th.🙃
  5. Warwick YWCK, Boonah YBOA (maybe and closer) Watts Bridge YWSG.
  6. 1st flight was 13 October 2015, now ten years young and still totally enjoying the flights.
  7. That you? Congrats. I spoke with one of the development techs of the programmed scenarios and responses. He wrote a book about the development. Very interesting conversation about some of the ability.
  8. Anything with 915, 916 and injected 912is need extra maintenance and present additional trouble shooting skills when codes present. Need available the reader as well. Plenty of fuel pressure pump matters and turbo (eg waste gate needs) that will not be good for the do as little as possible maintenance / service tribe members. A mate up here purchased the reader as he had a fault code to attend to, he said happy to loan to me however I only want to work on carb and non turbo. Working marine life exhausted me about turbos; give me NA any day for reliable performance. Just my opinion.
  9. Maybe send a message to Xair Ireland as they fly many models and should be a wealth of knowledge on the subject. If you have any trouble pm me and I'll give you a personal contact over there. Cheers.
  10. Auto store or motorcycle store.
  11. No worries, mine 108 kts s&l WOT, in Uk tested to 113kts s&l. Like I was saying nice for a rag and tube.
  12. Yep their Va is 91 kts and Vno is 110 kts. My Nynja 600kg has Va 90 kts and Vno 112 kts; being a dragger airframe and wing cord I will be using more fuel at 108 kts as an example but good performance a design strength for a rag and tuber.
  13. Was he 'accompanied'?
  14. A good spot may be in 'Resources' title Rotax 912 parts suppliers by Danny. Just a thought.
  15. Yep correct; when I wrote the post you refer to, I had been informed that engine oil had to be removed for the weighing (at the time I thought that is odd and contrary to previous). Checked further and that information was incorrect for some reason. Weighed with engine oil at full and other equipment etc.
  16. Nice morning for a Nynja fly to the beach catching up with flying friends. Summer is on the way so below the clouds has thermals starting by mid morning. Nice and cool under the tree canopy at the beach. Sand was hard and smooth a top landing strip.

  18. Three people are dead after a light plane crashed at an airport in regional NSW and burst into flames. The crash happened at Shellharbour in the Illawarra region on Saturday morning about 10am. Police have confirmed three people are dead. Images from the scene show the completely destroyed aircraft in the middle of the runway, with police and firefighters surveying the scene.
  19. Weather up here is starting to heat up and getting a few storms. It’s early in the season but getting build up. Went to fly Wednesday and DI’d engine and opened hangar doors. Mate next door offered a cuppa so over I went and caught up how his auto pilot and new screen is progressing at Foxbat. Weather changed a bit and did not fly. Thursday was a bit kinder with only a few light showers but low cloud. Did a full DI and took off cloud base at just over 1200 ft and local flight school doing circuits at next airfield 10 miles away. Radioed my departure and intentions. Found 1500 ft cloud base to west and one big blue hole was further to west. Returned to home and gave the Nynja a wash in the rain. Nice fly overall.
  20. A two seater would be nice if they were to design and manufacture a model. They will be enjoying get this one moving through the air with multiple owners.
  21. He was told the correct time proven method to repair; but for some unknown and maybe not surprising reason he deviated from that method with some of his own ideas. It's a real buggar to wreck a canopy.
  22. I can see this 336kg MTOW aircraft at cruise speed of 87 kts consuming about 2 US Gals. I'd expect they are providing accurate specs as he seems proud of his product and would not like to be proved incorrect. Just my view of things. Powerplant Engine: Spirit V2, 42 hp, inverted V-twin, air-cooled, direct-drive Fuel Capacity: 8 gallons Fuel Consumption: 1.8 – 2.2 gph in cruise Approved Fuels: 91 AKI unleaded auto gas or 100LL avgas
  23. He said he made good out of a design and military contract, I guess cashed up and put a dream into go. Looks a very nice setup and outcome. Best of luck to him for the future. I expect someone over here will buy one and I look forward to seeing the real thing up close.
