Yes. $1500. Buy it quick before the price goes up again:)

What's the tourist attraction?

Item is SOLD.

Price now $1500.

And sample oil while running.

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. 🙃

Nice looking; don't lay it on its side.

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.

You burped engine to check level before top up?

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.

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.

Also no sport plus oil for about another 30 days as seems shell missed placing an order, a mate bought his last 3 bottles.

I hear he works only a few days a week now; it is great he is still working, best to support him and work around his opening days.

Became aware of this last night from E-props after feeling slight movement of spinner back plate during preflight di yesterday.

6 or 8 years ago the oil filters were made in Austria. Don't know about current supplies.

Why use other than Rotax oil filters? They are not expensive and we're not sponsored for R&D by Rotax. Any others that fit may not filter or bypass correctly and may be thin walled and result in an engine compartment fire due to a split filter case.

Some guests would be members having a look and using a device that does not automatically log on in their name. I do such a bit via my phone.

From AOPA Australia site. 2026-27 FEDERAL BUDGET REVEALS CASA SET TO INTRODUCE ANNUAL REGISTRATION COSTS FOR VH AIRCRAFT, CITING A NEED TO IMPROVE REGULATORY COMPLIANCE AND SAFETY OUTCOMES Page 128 of the Budget 2026-27 Book 2 has revealed that CASA will soon introduce annual registration fees on VH registered aircraft, adding further cost impost and regulatory burden on the Australian general aviation industry. The budget document claims that the introduction of new annual fees will improve regulatory compliance and safety outcomes. "Once again aircraft owners in Australia are about to be smashed with unnecessary costs that will lead to further industry decline, "To assert that introducing annual registration fees has any relationship or bearing on regulatory compliance or safety is incredibly dishonest of CASA and a blatantly misleading argument, "Aircraft registration is a simple administrative function and CASA knows this fact but is choosing to play smoke and mirrors, "Aircraft registration costs were removed in the 1990's and a fuel levy was introduced to provide funding for CASA, "Re-introducing an aircraft registration cost and not withdrawing the fuel levy amounts to double dipping from aircraft owners, "By introducing annual registration fees CASA will create for itself an entire system of fee processing that will require dedicated staff and resources. These ever increasing costs will then be forced onto aircraft owners through an ever ratcheting of annual registration charges, "What's next... a CASA charge when your Maintenance Release is issued? This is the thin edge of the wedge that results in destroying the viability of our aviation industry." "Most galling is that the planned annual aircraft registration fees have made their way into the Federal Governments 2026-27 budget, yet there has been ZERO consultation with the industry by the regulator, "Worse still, how can CASA consult with industry now in good faith, now that we are all aware they have a plan to introduce the fees regardless of the any feedback we provide?"
