What's the best replacement for rotax 503 ?

 

If I was going to replace the 503 whats out there?

 

Thanks guys

 

 

:chill out:Everything with a stall speed over 45 knts??!

 

Disclaimer: I lay no claim to the opinion above just relaying a whisper I herd blow threw the woods!

 

 

Just curious and confused! What about new lvl 2 holders going out on there own? New business and all ,they may not have the customers initially , do they loose there entitlement/privalage? And then when a customer does come how do they go about getting it back? to do there work?

 

Also what about the rural or remote lvl 2's? If business is slow do they get punished by suspending there privalage?I'm a bit confused?

 

No worries Thanks guys

 

 

And this applied to back then in 2012 /13. Not now. just have my own. Lil 40 acrey now

 

 

Hey !!!the numbers may have fallen off? Lmao reply to david

 

 

Also like to ad my first ultra light came from a station were the pilot used it in the late eighties for mustering , checking fences and checking and cleaning troughs ( as he would land with his trough broom clean the troughs and fly to the next trough)

 

It still had mustering air horn. And trough broom holder and pouch still full of fencing nails when I got it lol

 

1985 bunyip built here at goolwa sa

 

it was his flying ute he said!lol

 

 

 

Actually no you couldn't check the fence's at 500 ft!, not here anyway! as pretty much all the fences are lined with trees on one side , you just can't see them clearly. However

 

As all the paddocks are clear of trees inside them . It would have worked out quicker( more fun) cheaper and most defiantly safe ( first thing in the morning endless open ground to land in at any given time etc) to do it in the single seat thruster . But it wasn't to be !!

 

and to be honest 500ft is still pretty close to ground.....!! Keep it safe peeps

 

 

My instructor spoke directly TO RAA and was told " CASA we're not allowing LL endo's after a spade of LL accidents and we're now organising specific coarses for Ll endo's January 2012...

 

His belief is all pilot certificate holders should have some form of ll training either ground schooling or in flight.. He believes it makes us way safer especially in emergency situations ( ie power line spotting)there may be a time ( as happened last year whilst a pilot was heading to avalon) when you have to put down in a unknown field/paddock.,, here's where LL training comes in handy for inspection etc....

 

it's been pointed out on here before and I second it

 

An awesome book " flight at lower levels". Have a read ... It Could save your life one day

 

As for my LL. endo .well I'm just happy being safer and more aware regardless of the letters on my certificate.

 

 

Ok I

 

I believe one must have to prove a requirement for it.

I did my LL. ENDO. Still signed off in my log book how ever Zane Tully denied it claiming my need was not warranted?( my need at time : over 8000 acres of grazing property to regurly check ie: fences water tanks troughs and live stock . Would been much easier to fly over inspecting everything but apparently that's not what a LL endo for?). So trained and paid but denied? There is a plus! I'm very aware of what can happen down there and I always got them poles in site.. So even with out some letters on my certificate I'm much better off..

much safer?

 

 

Just been informed I bought his beautifully constructed

 

avalon award winning nieuport 11 . I Feel very honered to be the next rookie to grace the skies in a truly majestic aircraft

 

RIP peter

 

 

It's factory certified and certified for training however when re- reg I answered " no" not for training use.

 

 

It

 

If factory built and certified, which is the case here then why can't this aircraft be used for training?Does this mean some 25 registered light wings out there that were built by someone from a factory kit are still Certified?

This whole rego thing is so confusing. I can see why there has been so many issues with the Rego CASA Audit.

 

Cheers

it can ! Just means at present I have not marked it as being used for training as it's private use

 

 

Mine is 25. LW-1. Says certified?

I'll have a look tomorrow for make( it's still in plane ) but any gps will work

 

It was a couple years now so would have to search google but I still have all the free maps in my PC some where I'll have look a soon as I get a chance lil flat out at present

 

I'll try post some pics also

 

 

Ok how I did it.. First you need a gps! Bought a $70 car

 

gps dick smiths.. Next on my computer I downloaded Ozi-explorer. About $40 I think. Plugged the gps into computer and copied the Ozi-explorer to the GPS ( automatically installs to favourites .. Then I found the free WAC charts ( I still them somewhere so could possibly send you them via email if needed) then copied them to oziexplorer in GPS and they automatically install to correct folder and done!

 

Turn on gps select fav. Oziex and there you have it .. Change ground speed to knots select a aircraft or glier icon. Set tracks etccc... Hmmm but compared to oz runways,!,,

 

Well no comparison just save for an old ipad( one on here for cheap I think?) and get oz runways ...., take it easy hope this helps

 

 

Welcome mate

 

 

Yeh seems they not avail anymore? I now use oz runways on I pad . but any auto gps can be turned into simple aviation gps with moving plane , plans etc...

 

I also run my car gps with Ozzie explorer and have WAC charts downloaded into it.. ( just a back up)It was very simple to download and install! Then I installed my WAC charts ( simple again) . And pretty much the same as the old rec gps.

 

 

Awesome pics Doug . Glad you had a good time

 

Wind sock looks inviting

 

 

Yep stopped watching all them bullshyite crap shows after my old man appeared on hinch 25 years ago.We all know the saying" be a shame to let the truth ruin a great storey"

 

What channel is South Park on? Lol

 

 

Good luck buddy sounds like fun

 

Tim

 

 

I have an original set up ( box back ,NO Wing tanks) I hold 53 Ltrs in the tank located behind seat , solo I fly @5400 rpm 70-75 kts 12-14 Ltrs ph. 2.5 hr endurance with reserve. Easiest tail dragger to fly hands down. IMO.simple 3 point stall landings and wheelers are a sinch. Stalls clean at 36kts

 

 

Hey mine looks like yours did crossing the never never

 

 

That was awesome thanks Doug

As per David see post11

 

 

All sorted mate .very good response from our new techy and tech team also very accommodating .

 

So when's the next fly in over your way?
