    Have older version with phone bluetooth only. No biggie but newer version after 2015 has ability to stream music. Upgrade kit consisted of new module, cabling (GA) and mic.

    My Uncle trained in them at Lowood Qld (near Watts Bridge Airfield) in the early 40's then they had to fly them to Temora with fuel stops at servos on the roadside so the story goes.

    Note the screw on lid, pop on lids not water tight when hard bumps cause a tip over. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/403957628942?hash=item5e0dc0400e:g:NgoAAOSw30liJvRy&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwK4Nuuab0uEetvzwoBOPyx0lH77DeC4ZG%2BDYbeh07SSxmgUhyy9%2BvFZ6rt1VDqiTjii5Ti5qm%2BIo%2BGAhZQDo0f1Ln2HVYWswx6qKzzNyEcxvxtNp5WRsFK%2Bkzr6FOH8j6EgGpnNQ3XJcQE2GVI0%2BaTYlHzzYlhuXC7yIgGaMC4ZOvTsyI%2FJD3Hpqb3TtUUuqj8yksaiNHg1An0H14STvpyGANk37DYpNrIOsDFpYxrpt5rG1z0np8yNWRAWtuTuIhw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6CY__fVYg

    Gympie is a common waypoint for aircraft traveling north from Brisbane, Caboolture, Redcliffe and Caloundra being west of Maroochydore airspace and has active local traffic. The accident apparently occurred 16km (9nm) from Gympie at altitude. If the Sabre was transiting the Pilot would possibly just have switched to ctaf from area. A glider at same altitude does not offer much of a profile and at possibly 100+ knots closing speed……… my 2 cents.

    Also Wayne Fischer of drifter fame. Dangerous jobs I wouldn’t do it.

    Maybe some large salvage airbags under the wings to lift wheels would work.

    I had a GT500 with a 582 Rotax which was a factory built and I'm sure the 400 which is the singleseat version can take the 582 as well. as for hangerage maybe possible at Caboolture but has suggested go to the airfield walk around and talk to people.

    Get in quick when it starts

    Some news in Asia isn't so censored. I will say however some persons could be upset viewing this Video. If real the Cabin would be intact without loss of pressure. https://www.facebook.com/somprasong.pandum/posts/7827489657265000

    But there will be a weight at which the stall is 44.9 kts maybe 650 or 680 or 715 kg. Can the mtow be other than 600 or 760kg.

    I also find this confusing. I read the forum above and was comfortable in my belief of cruise rpm 912uls between 5100-5400. Then I got to the last couple of comments on in flight adj setups. Reading comments from gyro operators and they cruise around 4500 with 914's and 915's which they have for more power. Surely if you have ground adjustable you would reduce the pitch to cruise at say 5200 and have shorter take off and better climb.

    Good idea getting Brazilian, no hair less drag

    I don't know what i'm talking about but looking from the outside in - VR and V2 are airspeed. V1 is Groundspeed Vs remaining runway. The longer the runway V1 moves further down the runway so VR could be less than V1.
