I requested an English translation of that document from RA-Aus when my renewal was due. I was told that I will receive a reply soon and I'm still waiting (2 weeks now).

So every RA-Aus member needs to engage a lawyer to be able to understand what they force us to sign???

The way I interpreted this garble (lawyer double-dutch) is that no matter how bad a RA-Aus employee stuffs up, it is someone else's fault?! Correct???

Can you please publish the section from a Rotax manual that gives you that option?

The RAAus Tech manual very clearly spells out the "on condition" operation is not an option for an engine in a LSA aircraft UNLESS the manufacturer states otherwise. Rotax doesn't give you that option! Section 12.6.2:

It depends a bit on the impact resistance required (point load). Lightest is ply or fibreglass sandwich panel if no heavy point loads, strongest & easiest is alu composite panel. https://www.alupanel.com.au/

iPads are fussy when charging. My iPad says "not charging" when plugged in an AC power adaptor but still charges but very slowly. Have you tried a few different cables, they can affect the charge rate quite a bit? I have a Jaycar 2-outlet USB port in my Tecnam for nearly 10 years and no problems (no radio noise and good charge).

you are wrong, it is NOT the MAP that controles the diaphragm (piston actually). The piston is moving up against gravity and the spring pressure through the differential pressure across the venturi caused by the piston, totally independent of the MAP. It is influenced by the air flow which is controlled by the butterfly.

the fuel flow is controlled by that little lever near your hand. The prop is only trying to resist your command. The Bing is no different to any other carburetor other than having a variable venturi instead of a fixed one. The throttle plate (butterfly) controls the air volume and the piston moves to vary to venturi to add the correct amount of fuel. A fixed carburetor has a number of passages and jets (air bleed, emulsion tube, enrichment etc) to do what the piston does in the Bing.

Density altitude is in METERS, not feet. 7,500' is about 2,300m and the power at WOT and 5,500rpm is around 56kW (or 75hp which is your 75% of sea level max power). Same difference, different units.

There are some hangars in Atherton that might have space, I have my plane in one of the big hangars. Don't know about Herberton, there are quite a few hangars but I have no contacts. Some of the members of the Atherton Aero Club might be able to help (put up an ad here: https://www.athertonaeroclub.org/classifieds).

There are a few trikes parked in a hangar in Atherton, there was also a trike school but can't find any info now. Your nearest airstrip is Herberton (YHTN), 1/2 way between Herberton and Wondecla, Tablelands Regional Council owned (https://www.trc.qld.gov.au/services-and-facilities/aerodromes/herberton-aerodrome/).

A landing strip where you land, turn the aircraft around and take off in the direction you came from. Many one way strips have rising ground or other obstacles at one end that can make it impossible to complete a go-around. Look at the topographie of the "Finch Hatton strip", mountain on the S side that you will not outclimb.

Check your metering needle and seat for wear, they need replacing after a while. Worn needle & seat are causing richer mixture in the part-load range. On aircraft, you will find a worn spot where the piston/needle sit at cruise power. The needle should be a smooth "taper" all the way and the seat a round hole (worn seats are oval).

I think you got the wrong company, no regulators in their offering?
