    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

    Has anyone received the mag for July or does it start in August

    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 After reading the nightmare that Geoff went through I found out the thing was 3 years out of date and didn't work at all.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.
  17. 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 .
  18. rhtrudder
    should I worry about the note that says HIGH SPEED LOW LEVEL MILITARY JETS OPERATING RANDOM ROUTES. sorry for all the dumb questions
  19. rhtrudder
    So can I fly Dazza's route back down the coast without ATC clearance
  20. rhtrudder
    Just a lowly RAA cert no ppl
  21. rhtrudder
    The flight plan sounds good, the whole area looks like its full of restricted air space , Dalby then Caloundra direct cuts through some
  22. rhtrudder
    unsure about ATC clearance
  23. rhtrudder
    thanks all, I have printed everything so I have some study to do . hoping it won't be to hard all new country for me
  24. rhtrudder
    This looks like a easy trip and maybe come back down the coast, how far off the coast do I need to be
  25. rhtrudder
    Could any one give me some clues on how to go to Caloundra from Dubbo , looks like a nightmare trying to transit west of Brisbane , should I track further north then cut back to the coast , don't want to get mown down by a military jet, any help would be great
