    Rudi, there is a worldwide Corby Starlet group on yahoogroups you might like to join. I think you have to sign up to yahoogroups (generally) before being able to join any group on yahoogroups. Where are you located Rudi?

    Careful with the Full River batteries - they are not necessarily like-for-like with Oddysey. I bought the equivalent for my aircraft, and while it's essentially the same battery, the positive and negative terminals were opposite to my installation, so I couldn't use it. Wasn't going to rewire everything just for that.

    Jab twin was 1100cc, in 2006, long after the 1600 engine era. Similarly, the Agusta flat twin aero engine in 1966 vibrated to billeo too.

    Pity the Jabiru 1100cc twin didn't happen beyond the prototype. I don't think it ever flew, certainly didn't in the aircraft it was specially made for.

    How about some congratulations for JG3 for heading back home rather than press on when a significant part of the flight preparation and plan went down the gurgler. Good decision JG:score 010:. Presson-itis has not gone well for a lot of people. There's always tomorrow to try again.

    Getting back to the original question of battery: Yes, readily available. That and many more. Australian Rechargeable Lithium Battery & Lead Acid Batteries

    Curiosity got the better of me, I went back in to my A20 to see if I could find that thing. There it was, just inside the back cover, not at all buried deep in the guts of the radio like the button cell is. I have no idea how you even got it out, and you are right, the part number spec is not visible, I was sorta hoping I might be able to see what it was for you. Nope!

    I did say the button cell was buried deep in the guts and tricky to get to! CR2032 size cell it was, maybe not that exact number, but that size - ten cent piece but thicker. It's there, and clearly not meant to be a user replace item (being buried so deep and spot welded in - not soldered). Replacing the battery fixed my squelchlessness, I have no idea why, but it did. The radio was useless so I had nothing to lose by taking it apart bit by bit and keep on going til I found that battery. Radio was probably 20 years old before that battery died.

    Shouldn't have to put up with this crepe..................

    I re-batteried my A20 years ago using ten individual nicad cells bought and wired up into the original battery case. Quite easy really. In the A20 there is also a button cell backup battery buried deep in the guts, spot welded in place, very tricky to get to, but possible. I fitted a new button cell wired in and moved to a more convenient location. When backup battery expired, my squelch stopped squelching. The new battery fixed that.

    Benawen, ASIC has got nothing to do with CASA, it's not their baby. Expensive? Yes. useless? Yes. CASA's? No.

    Fella is not an SAAA member.

    SAAA course is not 1500. Have you attended it Jim?

    I can't seem to find the interplanetary coverage for my roadside assist plan...

    NGK 120 degree spark plug caps me thinks would google better. 45 degree caps would be pointing back at the cyl. Just sayin...
  17. 440032
    Agree. Time to get off the soap box and pull the plug. I throw in the towel.

    Matt Bath?

    CASA is aware these things will be appearing sooner or later. Theoretically eligible for an Experimental certificate, but license to fly? None exists, would have to be done individually by exemptions. You have to get the bathtub maintenance manual from Reece Plumbing.

    He could rob that convenience store and make a clean getaway.

    Corby Kestrel, for those who don't know.

    One would imagine that the flying club owned and operated the aircraft, for the members of the flying club to use, not the general public. All quite normal.

    Assuming this is an RAAus case (we don't know yet) - has anyone read the Tech Manual? I found the answer in about 12 seconds, on page 2 of section 3.1. Example. Friend of mine built an RV12. Test period all flown off by a qualified pilot. Owner then did all his RAAus pilot certificate training in it, with a willing and able instructor. VH experimental will be the same process, build it, test it, learn to fly in it. If you can find a willing and able instructor AND the Part 141 flying school has mentioned "privately owned aircraft" in 4B12 of their ops manual. (or more generically, "all single engined aircraft"). Go for it Adrian. Case closed.

    Perhaps a timely reminder? ASIC has nothing to do with CASA - it's not their baby. Never was, never will be. And my question is, who is entitled to ask to see your ASIC? Who, as in who on the airfield? The cleaner, the gardener, the refueller, who? Serious question. Who, according to the regulations. I just can't see any mention of it at all. So if bailed up by somebody claiming to be important, are they? How do you know? What gives them the power to bail you up and check your ASIC? And then, if you don't have one, what happens? What is their procedure? Will you get tasered or taken down by Chuck Norris?

    Both those ways are no problem at all. From New Gisborne, you can pick up the rail line eastbound. From the north coming down over Kyneton - Romsey - Monegeeta army test track, Riddell is very visible from a decent way out. More open land that way also.Coming down the Calder Highway past Mt Macedon is rather bushy, but you're not over that for long, easy nav too - keep big mountain on left, scoot past the cross on the south face peak at 3500 feet then descend. I usually prefer the north & eastern side route, numerous private strips out that side, open country. Plenty of air between ground and 2500ft there, no problem. More options to do a U-turn (east!!!) and bug out if weather is a bit claggy. Either way, ease factor: 9.34.
