    Cork for years on the Rotax cark bowls is too agricultural (rough and ready) for me, they were prone to breaking and falling apart. Best to change to the new black ones. I also carry two spares (in case myself or a flying mate needs one urgently; like on a flying tour.

    Perhaps the topic could be headed "RAAus access to class C & D airspace, without RPL ; How / when?" Then maybe an instructor could give an update on where RAAus is at the moment; or say they cannot yet provide details of any such progress. I recon the later would be the reply, if any.
  3. Blueadventures
    RAA is trying to get the radio endorsement for CTA so we don't have to attain an RPL. And set some additional requirements for the RAA aircraft.

    Like it, I would like an AV30 or similar in the Nynja. I didn't ask questions at Oshkosh as too many similar companies displaying and as not ready to purchase would have been a waste on time. I will eventually fit something in a year or so.
  5. Blueadventures
    PM your email and I'll send over a Nynja w&b with the 90 litre fitted and its cg calcs for your info. My Nynja has always had wing tanks as fitted when I built it.
  6. Blueadventures
    A w&b will give that information. You should be able to do sum of alloy tank and fittings, minus the plastic tanks and fittings and considering the cargo hammock mass allowable should allow more than 60 litres in the tank. Therefore zero in hammock. If flying solo can place cargo on vacant seat? When I get time I'll adjust a V Max w&b I have a copy of and that will give a indication. Swifts over here have the 90 litre tank fitted as original build.
  7. Blueadventures
    An easy increase is the 90 litre alloy fuel tank behind the seats to replace the 2 by 30 litre plastic tank setup. A guy in Brisbane makes them. Easy to fit as just disconnect the two flap vertical pushrods and the tank slides in from the cabin side.

    Thanks for the info Gary. I reckon it will be a highly desirable ATC tower to work from and area to live in.

    We had a great time at the Flyin and the museum is well worth a visit to see the aircraft and history. A selection in images is attached.

    Saw it at Oshkosh, $10US to enter; so did not bother.

    Maybe phone airport management they would know.

    Are you over here?

    Any pilot who has a radio and does not call joining circuit needs an ear full and also a clip under the ear, full stop. It’s unsafe airmanship.

    Agree 8 -12 secs is my time. No way I could send an understandable message in 2-3 secs.
  17. Blueadventures
    Good idea, thanks

    A bit of a tip - consider wearing a mask during travels as my cousion and his wife caught covid travelling back from ireland, Sandy and myself also have had covid. Believe Sandy got hers on flight from Australia and I caught it off her. Sandy is clear now and I recon I'll test clear in about a days time. Both strains are fast moving through our body about 3 - 4 days total. Hope no one get it but thought i'd share the info. Our trip is great even with this and it did prevent the cousin catchups on Sat and Sun for the obivious safe reasons. But we did a zoom catchup yestderday. Cheers and safe travels and look forward to catching up in a week.

    Have you emailed the Australian supplier and the parent company tech support?
  20. Blueadventures
    Pm this site or What's app my number you call on. Cheers.

    Who is attending Oshkosh 2024. PM details if you want to catchup somewhere sometime. Safe travels. Mike

    This was a borrowed trailer from Brian who originally built the Foxcon Terrier aircraft up here and the trailer was made for them as a nose wheel and the weight distribution was setup for that. I used it to transport back after purchase as it was not in flying condition.
  23. Blueadventures
    This is how my Skyfox (Ca21) fitted on a trailer, note there is a white support tube from the front end of the leading edge to the strut attachment point to support the wing as if not used it's only supported with the aft hinge pin bolt. (a must have I believe) Also have a lightly sprung trailer so it is not too firm / stiff on the road bumps as only carrying about 300kg or so.

    Date on paper is date of flight for World Ultralight day. Need to have day in image my phone does not date stamp. So like many other just hold up a date. Image data is same date. My post is the same day 14th. They do it every October. Our time zone is 10 hours earlier so that can put our date being before. New Zealand are usually first to fly as sunrise before Australia.

    Started an upgrade to a Nynja (Scott’s Spirit of Kittyhawk) to add to its 600kg undercarriage fitted a while back and wide tyres and the wide nose leg. Now removed the Starboard wing to fit the wing upgrade kit and install a set of the Aussie wing tanks. Ben will be rapt in the fit up. This is being completed under the owner builder category. We’re grateful to the developments that Flylight in the UK do and the wing fuel tank (52 liters each) kits have been working great since 2012. I’ll do mine later in the year.
