    Was helping a mechanic mate collect oil samples out of a articulated dump truck recently which were sent onto Caterpillar for analysis, wondering whether it would be prudent to do the same with my 914 ,which now has over 1300hrs, even though it has no mechanical issues.

    I could be wrong but I reckon the jet that does joy flights in Echuca had ejection seats, I think I overheard the pilots briefing passengers on procedures in case of emergencies

    I raced in the milledge series long time ago some of the riders I remember were Chapman bros , Norm Watts, Phil Lovett , all guns , way out of my league. We were just average clubman riders , looking back I reckon they were our best years. Flying is pretty good too , I noticed a lot of flyers were ex riders, must be in the blood.

    Hi Mat They hold 20ltrs , easy to fill and use , youngest races desert bikes , I'd never seen them also, once used I had to have one, they are square in shape and empty out also have a big filler. I will try another picture

    These quick fill containers are also real handy ,just upend it , don't spill a drop and stops running when your tank is nearly full , cost $70 at motorcycle shops

    We use 12 volt pumps only for diesel on farm , pretty sure you can't pump petrol with them, one stray spark and you may be trying out your insurance , we have a underground 1000 liter tank for petrol that we charge with compressed air, not sure whether it introduces moisture in the tank so have a water trap type glass filter in the line , seems to work OK , been using it for about 4 years

    I can slow it down and it rocks the wings slower ,to much gain and we are out of control, tried every setting, every flight seems different , sometimes it disconnects and slowly banks to the left have to turn it off and start again. I need to take a experienced pilot for a spin for another opinion, unsure what to do next. soon as I get a chance I will switch off the 296 and hope that makes a difference. Thanks for all the help

    I did not know that turning off the GPS the AP would still work , that will be first on the list , I can get it sometimes to barely move other times have to turn the the thing off , had a tru track before this one, done the same thing , so maybe it is the gps

    Looked at CO2 and it seems like the units are to big

    I did wonder about the powder inside the cabin, it's got a trigger so the whole lot doesn't empty at once, I may have to think of a better holding down system.

    The one I use cost $26 from supercheap , comes with a plastic holder which I riveted below my control stick but also added extra duct tape to hold it in place , wouldn't want it rolling around under the rudder pedals. The 914 fuel set up in my plane uses 2 electric pumps plumbed together but are powered separately inside the cabin behind the instrument panel, I've always been worried about a fire behind the panel and petrol feeding the fire

    I have always carried a small , half kilo, fire extinguisher within easy reach with me just in case . After reading the nightmare that Geoff went through I found out the thing was 3 years out of date and didn't work at all. Does everyone else carry one?

    Could anyone tell me what flying into Caloundra is like, I heard parking is restricted I was planning on staying 4 or 5 days.
  22. rhtrudder
    I guess you have to head back inland before Gold Coast CTR at Heck field , tiger country doesn't worry me to much , but is there any military restricted zones between Heck Field and Warwick , What height do I come down the coast at and which frequency should I listen to .
  23. rhtrudder
    should I worry about the note that says HIGH SPEED LOW LEVEL MILITARY JETS OPERATING RANDOM ROUTES. sorry for all the dumb questions
  24. rhtrudder
    So can I fly Dazza's route back down the coast without ATC clearance
  25. rhtrudder
