    All good, just asking what SAAA members need to put in place to fly.
  3. Blueadventures
    How are you covered with SAAA, if at all, therefore you're on your own. Plus need insurance coverage like RAA provide. ??

    The outcome would be a good article in the next Sport Pilot.

    Closeup of cabin heat fit. Not screwed down fully as need a hand on other side to tighten fastenings. (A new exhaust spring is to be fitted as can see wear on coils from safety wire. I just use red silicone paste in future. also put kopper Kote on spring ends, Rotax UK do that)

    A pilot has been freed after becoming trapped in the wreckage of a light plane that crashed in the NSW Southern Highlands. Emergency services were called to Medway Rd in Berrima about 7.45am Thursday after reports a light plane had crashed into a paddock. Pilot freed from light plane crash wreckage When ambulance, police and fire crews arrived, they found the pilot trapped inside the wreckage. Police said the 58-year-old man, who was the sole occupant of the aeroplane, is believed to have been inside the wreckage “for some time” before he was freed. Pilot freed from light plane crash wreckage He sustained leg injuries and was treated at the scene by paramedics, before he was flown to Liverpool Hospital. Aviation authorities have been notified and are investigating the incident.

    Agree, originals were with Kopper Kote and 450 hrs so plan relace again at 300 hrs. (Thought I may have had to drill out threads and use bolts and nuts etc; but threads ok so do same again.)

    Current job is fitting the cabin heat unit I purchased in August last year after a cold flying trip out west over a few days last year. Got the wrap fitted last night and while off the motor took the opportunity to loosen the exhaust pipe clamp screws so I can point them more towards straight down rather than swept back, should clear the exhaust gas away better. (This required the patience, flame heat, WD40 to penetrate and slow back and forth to clear the rust, skills learn many years back and reused at times:) Found the cap crews badly wasted (450 hours and 10 years) so plan to replace again in 300 hours time. Next yew days will cut the fire wall penetration and fit the valve to open and close the heat.

    Only be good for picking your weekly Lotto numbers, maybe.

    Thankyou for the detailed examples, very helpful and very appreciated. I'll pass on to our flyers at Palmyra who have been asked to comment on the matter. I hadn't thought about ERSA as the area is south of Mackay Airport at the northern end of the town of Sarina. Cheers Mike

    The clubs letter to us mentioned aircraft up to less than 25kg.

    At Mackay, in Hangar at Palmyra YPYA. The 4 tailplane pieces were available as a set for $600 ($150 each) and are happy to sell at $500. I'll have to check about Struts. I'll check with the owner, I think there is at least one, I see the two jury struts are in his hangar. Pm your contact or email if you like. PS I just tried to call the owner but no answer so will find out about the struts. Regards Mike.

    Hi The airfield I operate from (Palmyra YPYA) has been advised that an aero modelers club to the south is renewing their CASA authority and are requesting approval to 1,500 AGL rather than the current 400 ft AGL. Early days and our airfield is preparing a reply after getting comments from our airfield users. Do any members here know of any such operations above the usual 400 ft AGL and if so could you advise their contact. Our initial considerations would be for all piloted aircraft to be aware of any such operation, methods would include details on VTC chart Mackay / Whitsunday (the club is within the southern 2,500 ft step into Mackay (YBMK); perhaps a radio call on at least 126.7 re take-off, intention and when landed, their operations area I believe is a 600 meter radius of their clubs field (to be confirmed); perhaps fitted with a conspicuity device (eg Skyecho or similar) to enhance visibility and situational awareness to manned aircraft transiting the area. Any comments appreciated. Cheers Mike

    Yep some of the younger, like auto pilot and netflix movie downloads. Sad but happens and talking one up.

    Clifton has been mentioned before, if it suits find out what learning material they recommend. Lone eagle is a good experienced school.

    This is what I have and see it often, Comant VHF Communication Antenna CI-121, $500 at Spruce, $440 at Mendelssohn Pilot Supplies PTY LTD , and they have a cheaper version at $275 best phone them for a review and price. or view thier webb site. You want good radio setup for trans/rec quality, worth the expense.

    I'll keep that in mine when down that way next in a few weeks time, usually over fly Milliorn. Its a very scenic fly through area.
