sounds like alternator whine sound, do other stations report the whine on your transmissions or just in your reception

Yes takes a long long long time, its GPS engine only 8 channel GPS constilation only, why I use the Stratux as primary ADSB-IN and secondary navigation source for OzRunways

thanks will contact after easter looked at his web page has a very good pedigree and experences

cut enough fabric to get access to rib use a right angled stubby chuck dril for holes & fasteners , the fix uses flat cut metal going by pic , rather than in the USA Kitfox used a bent drilled bit of metal, Im hopting only bolt hole damage not the whole rib and hanger damaged migh get a less intrusive method

will do some research after easter will ring around L2 and RAAus

many thanks possible to scan the doc or take a high res pic of the doc instructions or where to find

except takes a while to lock on from cold start

Wow thats insane. im better taking a the risk pay $770 and submit Modification and Repair Approval Process MARAP proposal, saying SINGLE 25mm of broken 7mm birch plywood can be repared with a lap patch using metal carbon fiber ect as the remaining hangers are pefectly sound. Can use AI to ask what is the shear and peel rating of a lap patch using metal epoxy plywood, maybe get a Enginering student to write up calculations. I cant see a laser or CNC cut bit of metal costing beyond $500 ?? Or go to a sheetmetal frabricator locally, I supply the 6063T6 sheet. here is the damage again is the aircraft is now a economic writeoff

Sky Echo2 nice bit of kit, except its poor GPS engine takes for ages to sync up, I infact gave up using it. instead I got a Stratux homebrew ADSB receiver with GNSS USB receiver does GPS GLONASS Galileo BeiDou QZSS, get 12-16 satelites under a tile and sarking roof and 24 plus while in the air

You ae not the 1st person saying that, 19 reg gives freedoms for DIY and sourcing data from builders forums. The $1k was assuming the RAAus approved repair scheme is what the guy did all that years ago lap epoxy ie 2 bits of shaped metal epoxy bolt and L2 labour and sign off, I got the 6063T6 2mm alloy jigsaw drill ready to go. So much for RAAus being the affordable option for single pilot Day VFR LOL

Yep RAAus getting sued in recent times wants another party have the legal liability it seems, looks like I will track down the document make the bits give it to my L2 he dose the work, hint factory24 rego aircraft are pointless for owner L1 maintained, the RAAus tech manual is not correct it seems a "major structure" can according to RAAus vary on the day, its going to cost me min $1k for something for a 19 reg variant say a kitfox would gost me $50 for the 2 part epoxy, alloy sheet, bolt washer nylock nut.

RAAus Tech manual says: 7.1.5 REPAIRS TO FACTORY BUILT AIRCRAFT - NON LSA (excluding Group G Lightweight aeroplanes) CAO 95.32 & CAO 95.55 Repairs to privately operated aircraft, excluding Group G Lightweight aeroplanes may be conducted by the holder of a Level One Maintenance Authority (or higher), using firstly, the manufacturer or designer’s repair procedures, or secondarily, in accordance with repair methods and techniques detailed in FAA AC43.13-1B. Repairs to aircraft used for hire and/or flying training must be undertaken by a person holding an RAAus Level Two or higher Maintenance Authority, using firstly, the aircraft manufacturer or designer’s repair procedures, or secondarily, in accordance with repair methods and techniques detailed in FAA AC43.13-1B. So as its not for flight training hire or reward, only for private use ie me I can do the repairs using and apprived method, apprently it exists but the person who wrote the instruction did not post it online and has since decesed, im going with FAA AC43.13-1B "plywood lap patch repair method using expoxy bonding"

sent you a message with my email addy cheers frank

1cm2 of metal to wood epoxy bonding has 10kg shear strengh breaking point 30-40lg cm2 allowing both sides thats 16cm2 at least at a guess we north of 160kgs rating or 700kgs shear breaking force, my L2 recons its fine, stronger than the parent material with the bolt offer a 2nd point of fail safe he recons deprnding on the RAAus person ansewring the call will approve it or not, certified to CAA JAR EASA rules actually VH rego a historical thing even Volksplane back in the day were VH reg, not the same regulations as a C172 or PA28 for example, I doubt its only a GA LAME scope

After the approved Skyfox Gazelle CA25N aileron hangar repair process bit of plywood cracked at bolt after wing swing mishap, I understand there is a approved fix using metal and epoxy giving as a suggestion of someones fix approved by RAAus
