  1. All I ask is to let the situation rest until the mods be done as per the designer’s specifications and we can get on with flying.Please just let it rest.

    I suspect that you are going to have trouble suppressing discussion on such a vital (and interesting) subject.

     

    That is what forums are all about.

     

    What I don't understand is that you make it sound like this was all resolved, done & dusted some time ago (someone described it as old-news) yet a pilot was killed in one, from what appears to be an in-flight breakup, just late last year.

     

    When pilots are still being killed, you can hardly halt discussion.

  3. Yes Capt...they can still request a reminder to an event and an email is automatically sent to the user at the "Time Before Event" setting they entered.The Attendance code was removed due to a conflict with some other code a while back however that can now be added back in so I will do that as well.

    Thanks Ian (though I am sorry if I added more work).

     

     

  4. All the upcoming events are listed on the left of the Home Page and also at the bottom of the Forums Main Page

    It is possible for a forum member to still request a reminder for any event, and there used to be the capability for any member to signify in the Event description that they are interested or intend to attend, but that signification capability looks like it is no longer available.

    Seeing as how in-house jargon was not being encouraged in the great sticker hunt, McLoch started 033_scratching_head.gif.92f700cf00fb9c6c6818598d44101896.gif on an outhouse theme. 066_naughty.gif.b89c2da7d619f57a774d625ba24a42f0.gif

    And it came to pass, as the result of a Public Information enquiry, that DrLo had ordered 2 of the latest swish J120 wing struts and 6 rolls of gaffa tape to make the necessary upgrades, just in case.

    ...which appears to be a concept that originated in the ACT and is now well used in Queensland (which leads the writer to suspect that it is a term from about 1960) which has since fallen from common use in NSW, Vic and Sth OZ.

     

    But on looking it up in Wikipedia it is clear that in the 1950's the use was:

    When I built my 230 I went for a Powermate voltage regulator as an upgrade to what I considered to be a pretty basic unit that comes with the kit.

     

    Am very happy with the result.

     

    I put a Dynon 180 in mine and have not noticed any spikes or performance issues with the EFIS or any other of my electronics.

     

    The Powermate is made here and I suggest that you check out their website and email to Klaus if you need more data.

     

    I mounted mine to the firewall and the only extra provision was to take air from the rear of the intake duct on that side and direct it onto the cooling fins on the Powermate in a similar way that J do to cool the coils. There are some pics in the thread "J230 @ YSWG".

     

    Hope this is some help.

     

    Regards Geoff

  12. Thanks Fellas.

     

    No wonder a google search only turned up one ref to my substandard spelling (and that was a CASA document).

     

    You got it, Fred. The word is that Wagga will go to CA/GRS for a year or 2 then to a Tower.

     

    So from the posts, it is less than the Unicom we had here last year, and won't adversely effect an RAA Pilot's Ops until the Tower kicks in.

     

    Appreciate your responses and apologies for my unsatisfactory spell check.

     

    Now .... one sub-question. Under the present rules, if an RAA licenced pilot is operating at an airport where a Tower is established, does he (or she) get any leave pass to continue there, or must that Pilot move on immediately the Tower is activated.

     

    Regards Geoff

    Now he couldn't fly his brain cooker, even with gaffer tape.......

     

    .... but "What the heck" he thought "As someone on another thread said that it doesn't really matter how many low wingers fold up as long as it is less than the annual number of fatal car accidents in each state, so everything is right with the world, wing-spar wise, and me and the SS will continue to be great mates. Now where is the nearest CB so we can have a bit of fun show'n 'em how wrong they are about a belly tank full of unleaded and a .......

  18. Back at the CWA Hall, Daisy was a bit bewildered by the hot shifting NES storyline.

    "But I've still got the jugs haven't I?" she asked apprehensively

    "You still make the best Tea in town, Daizz" said Elsie "Your Jugs and your Urn or some of the best around, and after our time in that CWA mixed sauna out the back of the hall, I can confirm the Seinfeld line that "they are real and they are spectacular" even at nearly 80.
