  1. Price of tiff, good question. Anyway call me 0414517856 when your coming up, ill check the weather and maybe I can take you up for the price of a coffee.
  2. We do a run up before the chute is deployed, bit of time between that and take off, I've done over 200 take off's and several off us in the area and no issues to date. Closer to the Trailer CFI in the area can do TIF's, either here or nearest south of you would be COWRA. The PAX is a pilot with his own machine but sometimes its nice to be social.
  3. Lovely clear skies after some windy days
  4. I am told that if an Aircraft depressurises quickly every one onboard will FART
  5. Airframe Year of Manufacture:1999 Country of Manufacture:AUSTRALIA First Registered Date:04 July 2003 Airframe:Power Driven Aeroplane Landing Gear:TRICYCLE-FIXED Engines No. Engines:1 Manufacturer:AERO SPORT POWER Type:Piston Model:IO-360-B1B Fuel:Gasoline Propeller Manufacturer:HARTZELL PROPELLERS Model:HC-C2YR-1BFP/F7497-2 Certification Certification Type:ABAA-92 CDA Data A:Experimental
  6. I'm just interested in more info on the Endorsment
  7. Check out this little sucker
  8. Plenty of info here from the Late Tony Hayes, see his possibly biased thread - http://www.recreationalflying.com/threads/thruster-v-drifter.4695/
  9. I agree Mate, side by side so the Wife can build her confidence and you can hold hands or whatever, I am told the drifter is a bit more forgiving as a tail dragger but for a man of your experience .............
  10. Any news articles or photo's yet ?
  11. Hi Dinger Sounds like a problem with the radio plug, Vertex has two types, one just plugs in (Vertex 150) and the other screws in, using the wrong one will effect the seating depth of the plug. The Vertex 220 is the screw in type.
  12. Did I mention the Mozzies
  13. See http://www.recreationalflying.com/threads/rainbow-beach-qld.62895/ Grass on sand, Parachute operations from field, is a private strip with locked gate but access available, Owner Ray Parker 0411 118 096, fair walk to town.
  14. I heard that an aircraft had a nose wheel incident possibly collapse on Saturday morning, possibly a Cessna.
  15. The SB582 at Caboolture Recreational Aviation has the lever control. JimG ( not Jim G) this forum is CFI that machine. If you PM him he may be able to assist.
  16. A side effect of the seemless conversions to RPL may well be seemless conversions from and to HGFA, RAA and GA (MAYBE), See new form below - https://www.raa.asn.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/pilot_certificate_converting_pilot-Sept-2014.pdf
  17. Googled Drill Sharpener, Try --- http://www.drill-doctor.com.au
  18. Related topic - I have a theory about how Kangaroo's react to vehicles. When I see Roo's I maintain or reduce speed slowly, they don't seem to pay much notice. When a vehicle reduces speed quickly reducing pitch of engine Roo's are more likely to panic and dart everywhere. If your in the old 4wd and try to hit them with the raising pitch of the engine you can never get them unlike going to town in the Merc they seem attracted to the Bumper. The harder you try to miss them the more chance you have of hitting them. Not 100% but others may have had similar experiences.
  19. They are there for the grass, you would have to get rid of the grass or fence them out. A couple of low passes will help but hope you don't have an engine issue.
  20. Topic related - the next hurdle is to get the Endorsement as I believe there are no Factory built Aircraft with a certified Inflight Variable Prop. Got mine in the Texan at Go-Fly before RAA pulled the pin.
  21. Not specifically related but the IVO is a noisy prop with its square cut ends IMHO
  22. I'll rephrase, which is more reliable
  23. Hmmmm ............................................................................................
  24. Gyro's are controlled by a different body and their forum - http://www.asra.org.au/smf/index.php PS: Whats your location, someone might offer you a fly, then you will be bit
