  1. I thought you would loose a few with the mickey reference. Lucky some of those redneck pilots from the Birdsville races didn't have a go at riding one
  2. I reckon the hundreds of 4 wheel drive ferals would wreak more damage than a hand full of flying idiots,
  3. I think we are talking about different stories
  4. At least they didn't shoot holes in the tank
  5. I don't think you can compare a few idiots in four wheel drives to most of the decent people that fly, it's a pity we can't land there because it's a great spot, in the middle of no where
  6. I reckon that's still her, I thought she had maybe moved on, you would think when the Birdsville track gets closed because of the wet weather the pub would benefit from incoming air traffic
  7. Even though I believe the strips are maintained by the road authorities she still won't let anyone use it them, have landed on the access track to the pub but Phil reckons the brush along the edges might not allow us through, may not be worth the risk as would need fuel to continue on.
  8. anyone flown into mungeranie lately, years ago it wasn't a problem using the strip , rang Phil at he pub to book a couple of rooms and he said to get permission from the station shouldn't be a problem female answers the phone only to be told we don't let anyone use our strip, I don't think we have much of a choice to put down any where else so may have to give it a miss.
  9. Count me in , remind me when it gets closer
  10. Read somewhere that moreys foams up which might detract from the way your oil performs, any ideas on this.
  11. How would one of these batteries go with the charging set up on the rotax 914, mine is close to needing replacement
  12. Managed to complete the trip, left on the Tuesday ,fuel at Dubbo big tailwind mostly 150kn just under 5 hours flying time. Wednesday flying via boona then on to Toowoomba , rough over the hills and landed on the disused sealed strip opposite the field days venue , very handy, flew back to heck field and returned home the next day, thanks everyone for your help .
  13. Great advice , thanks
  14. That makes sense, l like to keep well clear of all the red lines where we usually fly, only got to do a bit of homework, thanks
  15. The danger D612B says sfc to 2500 what does that mean, I understand you can fly through D , just wonder why is it designated D,
  16. if interested I have a mate in kinglake ,vic, who has had a lot of experience with corvair areo conversions
  17. So if Amberley is not active it's ok to fly direct, otherwise I should head south to dodge around the ten mile radius
  18. [MAP][/MAP]planning on flying into heck field from vic and then back and forth to Toowoomba for the field days .looks like a mess of restricted air space any advice would be very appreciated
  19. Important to see who's house you are going to hit just as it appears out of the fog!
  20. Lucky dip if the fan stops!!
  21. Had some work done on the wings by a lame before I bought it , first owner apparently over stressed the skins doing aeros , smooth air flying at these speeds ,
  22. At this cruise ,sabre is burning 23lts, don't think it ever drops much below 20lts , still cheap way of getting around, intercooled 914
  23. Heading back home from from YarrawongaFlightTraining before the wet weather turns up yet again
  24. Count me in on the next one, always looking for somewhere to go
