Perhaps in time an RAAus member who completes the maintainer training via SAAA or direct to Tafe will in time be able to maintain their own Group G; I don't know just looks possible to me. I like the insurance RAA has included and I'm only at 600kg myself.
Just add until full and record the quantity. I take it your mixing water to concentrate?? I make sure I don't have more than 50% of the concentrate. Also keep checking for any leak. Most likely no leak just that your system needs more that 1.5 lts.
My method is fill engine and level will usually settle about 6 or so mm below the lip the cap seals to; I then fill the overflow / expansion tank to halfway between the low and high marks, plus this bottle needs a small hole in top cap and coolant line to engine at low point.
Nice, Better to run after start at 2,200 RPM or a little (2,300) faster; whatever seems smoother. Below 2200 can lead to accumulated stress damage to gearbox clutches.
Agree he needs to spend time a money with an instructor so he understands the meaning and use. He will learn it's not just a comms out for help; it requires all others who hear to take note of message (don't transmit for a period and continue to monitor) and if in a period it's not replied to then transmit a relay. Seems just more expression of his knowledge, lack of and personal opinion that at times sours the spirit of this wonderful forum. Cheers and safe flying to all.
Six years ago did a trip to Bowen River Pub / rodeo and return. Land on the road to the dump. Always a good feed there and welcomed by the publican and staff. Can either camp or rent a donga room when the camp drafts and rodeo events are not on.

My DI includes light push each side of radiator and oil cooler checking for movement also grab and give a shake to the main gear legs and other things.
It only 4 way crimps the particular pins and sockets used by trig. You would have to compare your connectors with this particular crimper. The Stienair site will show the size it fits or Trig radio install manual lists the mil spec of the connectors. If same as yours this would be the tool to get, otherwise you can buy new or used 'Dainels' brand tools however expensive. (You can purchase used 'Daniels' crimpers and dyes that are still crimping to satisfactory specs)
Have a look at their webb site as they are an aviation supply shop.
I bought one of these, two removal and insert tools and some extra spare male and female pins. For my Trig radio and transponder hook up. Stienair is the USA company good to deal with.
One of these is coming up for sale soon as owner has another aircraft getting close to flying. The image may not be his aircraft as I don’t have its rego to check at present however it is the same model and painted yellow with green. PM if you would like his contact.

Took the Nynja for a fly on the weekend to Lake Dunn, a 207 N/ml each way and stayed overnight. 29 aircraft attended the catchup. It's never an advertised event as it's just a by word of mouth catchup of flying friends. The strip is to be extended about 100 meters to comply with RFDS aircraft requirements. The strip was in perfect surface condition. Weather was excellent and tail winds of about 15 knots each way so can not complain.

Had a great overnight fly out to Lake Dunn a nicely prepared strip surface and is planned to be lengthened a bit for Royal Flying Doctor requirements / use. Weather was mint, great company and good feeds. It's a 207 N/ml flight from my home strip.

Seems he had the gear down and landed ok, then during taxi inadvertently retracted. He's a good bloke so will have to get used to copping comments from his mates.
Thanks onetrack; I posted to inform and seek any comments from members who have recently or are about to renew (via apple pay or other, I finished up just going through their webb site and then PayPal)
I wonder what percentage the receiver of the payment pays for the service?
I just went to renew my subscription of ozRunways on my mini Ipad it took me to Apple pay and renewal listed for VFR Premium $254.99. I decided to check renewal via my laptop and it was $219 for VFR Premium so renewed that way. Surprised at the difference $35.99 ???
Yes, both front and back seats of tandem. I was not knocking your choice or stating mine just saying what I believe is hands down the most popular seating configuration for two seaters.
