Thanks for that fellas. Looks like the least worst option is to add Moreys to fuel and inject the best oil I can get downstream of the carby on shutdown. On my next trip to Newscastle I'll try to get some of that outboard 2-stroke as advised by Nev.

I've been adding Shell 2T (locally available) to my AvGas and have just obtained a bottle of Moreys UCL.

Why not use both, in small concentrations? Are the two compatible?

Marine two stroke oil has rust inhibitors, and won't form carbon. Also doesn't affect octane rating. Nev

Sports aviation has been around a lot longer than RAA and still exists as in SAAA ,my gripe is false pretences of the quasi GA clan that has taken over an organisation formed for and to cater to,,,ULTRALIGHTS

...gently bending the trailing edge of the flaperon up or down using you fingers will usually fix it.

OK,. . "Foreign". . . .er,. . . .so if Jabberwocky sold a nuclear drive, would they have it imported from Bexland Manufacturing PRC INC. perhaps ? . . .just wunderin. . . ( Love the steam turbine idea though. . .

It was done for filming Turbs. People didn't get killed as it was all arranged. The first paying regular services were postal deliveries. Single engined planes in all weathers with a terrible death rate and no one watching, (or caring much).Nev

Just got around to checking the tracks of my last few flights. Awesome! Easily opened and show my flightpaths with precision. It looks like it drops breadcrumbs every few seconds; should be easy to locate a missing aircraft.

Traffic didn't seem to work; all of us activated "traffic" but nobody saw any icons indicating other aircraft. What did we do wrong?

Western countries use feet for altitude. Russia and Indonesia and perhaps others use meters (metres) Airspeed is in KNOTS( Nautical miles per hour. as is windspeed). Vertical separation suits using feet Usually 1,000 but sometimes 2,ooo. feet. This measure in meters is clumsy.Fuel is in (volumetric) Imperial Gallons, US gallons, Litres, translated to weight for load computations by applying appropriate density.

Pilots carry diaries with conversion rates. Nev

That's code for Council Workers isn't it?Nice video, thanks!

Just as a bit of an aside from a couple of posts back.I am sure you will be happy to know, along with the unemployed and homeless of this country, that a government funded organisation has just discovered that most kangaroos are left handed.

 

We are in great hands, aren't we ????

If our government funded such research Australia might have a brighter future. Instead, investment in science has been cut to the bone. It's a national disgrace that other countries invest in research here that our own government considers unimportant. Their discoveries may be developed into marketable technologies that this country will end up importing.

6 is better than five.

...and so many worksites in Australia are awash with expensive imported machinery that gets used for a fraction of the day.

...But if it's there, and it's from the U.S., it will not be in meters, methinks.

I've never seen any written native language. Nev

A clever answer, but his family name and "Tribe" don't compute.

Much like the warship camo from the same era.

By memory, I got the impression that nose wheel aircraft were not around when this was writtenCould be wrong though.

Hi Dave,As you say - this is rather a Ford vs Holden thing. I have used AVPlan for a few years now and have been very satisfied with it. Also found the support people very friendly and helpful.

If I were you I would look at both, and assess for your specific needs rather than do a (IMHO) rather futile box ticking exercise. Over time they will leapfrog each other with features.

Cricket, OME you must have a lead foot. 20lph on a 2200?

... With some individuals, I have been a fairly successful predictor of some who should do something else, but nowhere near 100% correct. It's not usually flying ability directly. More like management and planning lacking. Nev

Now you're getting it.

A lot of fatalities are voluntary...

My favourite OHS story just happened today. My daughter is a plant ecologist or something like that and travels around doing plant surveys. Today she arrived at a job in Southern Victoria to find the whole area had just been burned by the Parks Victoria people. The reason - OHS for the survey, as there were lots of snakes around.

I wouldn't ban it on the grounds of being dangerous, but I'd love to see it banned on the grounds that we've trashed the joint and comprehensively proven we can't be trusted to leave a place as we found it. Bottles, tins, food scraps, toilet paper, human excrement (yes, human sh*t which has been contaminating the water supplies and does not decompose in the extreme cold). I mean, "we" (collectively the human race) really are such a pack of idiots who actually do need to be banned from doing many things.

An extra 40hp on my 27 hp Winton Swing Wing. WOW!Alan.
