  1. That's the winning move, be cheapest as using your own aircraft, the instruction is on your aircraft so you'll get fully familiar with her, and at the end you will have your tail wheel endorsement.
  2. He has stuff for sale, shouldn't mind taking a call over Easter as he may have the bits you need and he'll get money for them.
  3. Try Tony Kerr at Gympie Aircraft Maintenance. He has been selling Skyfox parts in last couple of weeks on Facebook market place. He was an authorised repairer.
  4. Use the correct epoxy, scarf ratio, sandpaper may include cotton flock. The epoxy may be 3600 Arildite - )i'm not sure just check)
  5. Some cars won't run well on 98, read the cars manual about fuel. If 98 is ok use in your car. If you need to get it used someone doing regular flying at the field may buy it off you (at the pre war price its attractive).
  6. I was going to fly mid morning today, but the after burners failed to light up, so did a NASA thing and aborted the flight until 1 April next yearπŸ˜ŽπŸ™ƒ
  7. Worth buying a new capacitor, even if not the cause its not an expensive outlay. Often the issue is a faulty capacitor. Need to be the correct size and also check its wiring circuit.
  8. How damaged is the Kittyhawk wing from its Sunday excursion? Not too bad I hear.
  9. I remember seeing it at Clifton around 2006 or 2008. Nice looking build. Cook and eat a sausage by the exhaust is a jet build ritual.
  10. Up here Diesel $3.09 to $3.15 per Litre. 95 is $2.65.
  11. BFR done and dusted today, then onto ride on mower maintenance, thought it would be a quick two blade change. Not to be and doing a bit extra.
  12. You'll be able to afford a Rotax rec/reg now, as a spare.πŸ™ƒπŸ€ͺ
  13. Maybe if flown backwards and upside down? πŸ™ƒ
  14. One method is replace if worn, distorted, corroded or damaged. AC43 is a reference in chapter 7, section 8 and includes details about inspections.
  15. Aviation crip methods and tools (in spec) are reliable; no so auto motive single crips, the four point crimping like example molex are reliable though.
  16. No, not as PIC from the cockpit. πŸ™ƒ
  17. Looks like you need to get your inflight cockpit view video endorsement BFR doneπŸ™ƒ I've now got a sore neck. Cheers.
  18. Yep, did read about their scaled pricing plans. Maybe use when landed only on the cheapest plan, also maybe setup up an air switch to power it in flight so it is off when above 80 kts, so if need to use in flight then slow to 80 kts and below to use.
  19. Like, however the casting hole fault in the cylinder is inexcusable and unacceptable.
  20. He hit the Bulls eye with same issues described in the video above and the other video about the engine specifically.
  21. Damn terrible, complete waste of everyones time, lucky this guy lived close. He seems to give good attention to detail. Piss poor engine quality control, you'd expect them to have run the engine pre to despatch.
  22. I watched his engine install, very poor engine build, terrible cylinder castings, poor electronic modules. Terrible for delivered engine and terrible after purchase support. Could not have run the engine pre first delivery. Understand why he is so disappointed with them.
