    Just finished reading the paper back book ‘The Big Show’ a flying accountant of four years up until the end of WWII by French pilot Pierre Clostermann. Well worth reading his account of daily diary records.

    I recall seeing some nice new designs on the USA Zenith factory site a few weeks back. Be bright and different. Happy deciding and painting. Search Zenith USA aircraft images shows plenty of different designs for paint.

    Recon it would be better than Hammo. (In the past the controller travelled to the Island and back to the mainland every day.)

    Any landing fee under $20 is cheap for your small aircraft. I recon it may be better to increase respective landing fees by $7 and have the ARO bring out a Hot Chocolate or Coffee on landing 🙃💣

    Isn't the manned tower a temporary setup to bed in the control then in time it will be remote? Otherwise it would be the most sought after ATC posting if permanent.

    I hope they don't forget to paint the Colonel Sanders on the tower.

    And sample oil while running.
  14. Blueadventures
    Yes, and they have a few different models. Also, Amsa beacons always publish the list of approved currently available brands and models so best buy one they endorse. It's also wise to instruct your passenger how to activate the PLB in case circumstances are that you are unable when its needed to be used. Same for marine (Boating/ EPIRB)ops.

    I get the ACR range as have added feature that promotes visibility (Strobe & Infrared Strobe Built-in bright strobe light (one flash per 20 seconds) for night rescues; IR strobe visible to night vision goggles.) Worth the little bit extra. PLB400 as an example.

    And it's in the warbird heritage 💣💣💣 along with the Skyrangers. 🙃
  17. Blueadventures
    Nice looking; don't lay it on its side.
  18. Blueadventures
    That’s right; but will likely be allowing endorsement to RAAus quals, which suits me better as won’t have to gain an RPL. Such may be available in July.

    Heavy sludge collects and pretty much remains at the bottom of the oil can below the plate at the bottom of the mesh filter screen. That's also why it's important to disassemble the can and clean it. Running avgas creates more sludge buildup. The sludge remains even after draining the oil via the bottom plug, as its very thick.

    A friend at Mackay did his RAAus bfr on Thursday and the instructor mentioned that in about 4 weeks the endorsement to access controlled air space will be available. So must be getting close now.

    All ways burp the oil from sump into the can then check the oil level.
  22. Blueadventures
    You burped engine to check level before top up?
  23. Blueadventures
    Hi Marty This is one method. DIY Firewall Boots.docx

    There is no way they are for Rotax to sell. Everyone who cuts their oil filter open after changing out will know the big difference; e.g. spring method and pleat numbers, and two other components, etc.
  25. Blueadventures
    Rotax don't want you to mix oils, stick to recommended one you have been using. That's why they want the type of oil in use labelled on the oil can near the filler. So you have a prompt to the oil being used. So in short don't start using the new x oil in your engine if its been running sport plus 4 oil for example.
