    post here in classifieds to give members at look at what you have for sale. I have sold through this site.

    Agree; similar o my 8:37 yesterday comment as I have seen such before; however a poor image for assessing though.

    I like the carby engines and keep the maintenance and adjustments to them in order; don't particularly like the later say Rotax 9 series is or turbo engines. They need more equipment to test and service plus two yearly servicing refreshers and i'd expect will have more troublesome tuning / maintenance needs as they get more hours on. I also like good product support and many aircraft flying over many years. Composite are usually costly if heavy landed and the airframe is cracked or delaminated (sometimes this is not apparent at the time and develops worse over time in service) and require specialised workshop environments for any work. Jabiru are great in this respect or the resins used.

    The straight lateral material edge is interesting as could be a developed accumulated fatigue stress that let go during the landing and opened up on take-off, just a guess from a poor image view.

    Rock, paper, scissors to determine who's aircraft; maybe??

    Jack Russell's are the smartest; 'Chaser' after uni.🙃

    Beaut autumn conditions this morning for a fly around the valley in the Nynja at 60% power. A sign of the nice flying weather to come. I fitted a manifold pressure guage last year and when on long trips I'll set engine to the 75% power pressure and see how that goes speed / flue usage wise. IMG_0317.mov

    What a great young girl.

    This morning's news; an aircraft could not lower gear and fly around until rpt departures completed and burn off fuel then a wheels up landing.
  10. Blueadventures
    Be interesting if any stone damage to vehicle paint work.

    There is a US carrier 5 miles off the Gold Coast seaway and they are allowing light aircraft to land on its deck for free up until 1159 hours today only. If you want a video of your landing it is $50 USD payable to the Biden / Trump fund.

    Yep, a mate has one; its their glider heritage. Jab 230's would be great with the spoiler update, in my opinion.
  13. Blueadventures
    Thanks.
  14. Blueadventures
    Spoilers sound interesting as can be used when rounded out to decrease lift and put / keep aircraft on ground easier. Would be better control of any float some wings cause. Can you post any images of the spoiler in the wing and the cabin control lever / system. (Just watched a you tube video on them; look a great idea; I can see where they will work favourably). Cheers
  15. Blueadventures
    What are the spoilers; same as what gliders have?
  16. Blueadventures
    So they are a high wing like the Topaz?

    Interesting. A mate that tested the Cairns ones back in the 90’s told me how his back was after it belly flopped from about 4 meters. He was not impressed with the stall effect. He said eventual plan was to be a small Boeing jet capacity and do Brisbane to Mackay in 4 hours and operate in 4 meter wave height seas.

    I'd expect that as hour rates are $100 plus up here can be towards $190 / hr. I'd say allow at least 1 1/2 hours to do a balance by the time you remove cowl fit the instruments run engine apply weights and rerun again etc then wright up log and cowl on.

    Agree, class 5 is helpful when those are waiting their class 2 decision. So when / if they get class two back can carry more than 1 pax. If change to RAA will always be 2 up.
  20. Blueadventures
    Could you add the engine hours, year built and the hours for the DUC prop to the description, Thanks.
  21. Blueadventures
    Best ask an L2 or L4 or Lame at the Oaks who they recommend; you must have plenty of connections there that will know. Re Dyna vibes they work good; I have two available up here (they are not available for rent though.)
  22. Blueadventures
    when we meet up; remind me to buy you a coffee or beer, thanks.
  23. Blueadventures
    Yep, image attaching operator error. The second one of a batch (although its an image taken with the front facing camera so that will be the issue. I just don't know how to do a edit. Posts ok on Faceblock.)

    Had a nice fly up to Lakeside Airpark (YLAK) this morning to ferry a mate Ivan’s Skyranger VMax and return to Palmyra (YPYA) in another mate Glenn’s Rockwell 112. Very pleasant conditions with small areas of rain on way up. Nice tail wind up there of 15 kts and landed 22 at Lakeside. (Yep another image posts upside down; don't know why.)🙃 (Edit: Flipped it for you. Mod.)

    With ULS there is info that rpm after start best at 2,200 or towards 2,300 where engine is smoothest as this is better for the gear box. Low rpm idles hurts the gear box internals.
