  1. All, We are now resident in Cowra, so if we have the doors on the hangar by then we will throw them open and all are welcome to drop by and put some names and faces together.Tony.

    Tony,

     

    Your message might be a god-send.

     

    Is there any chance you can get your hands on an old or new 44 gallon (200 litre to some of you young blokes) drum, with holes in it, that we can use as a fire/brazier on Friday and saturday nights for Forum Members to sit around and tell their stories in the camping area by the field?

     

    Regards Geoff

     

     

  2. An Expranatory Lat-Note

     

    For anyone who is about to winge that there are not enough aviation terms used in the NES, I want to make it absorutery crear that the rast 65 posts have involved a detailed discussion relating to the Recreational Flying Fly-In to be held in Cowla on Sept 18 - 20, and as such, could not be more aviation focused if we tlied.

  8. Thanks Geoff,I will take all onboard. What you have sounds good. needs to be user friendly which seems like it is.

    I will keep a look out here.

     

    Phil.

    Phil,

     

    If you and a few other interested parties will be coming to the Recreational Flying Cowra Fly-In in Sept, maybe we can have a show-and-tell (I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours) on phones, blue-tooth & related communication devices while flying, weather accessing while in the air, and examples for all to see and Ross can also dazzle us with his advice.

     

    Ross ..... do you reckon that Telstra would be interested in giving us a presentation on this at that Fly-In?

     

    Regards Geoff

     

     

  9. Captain,Yes Dexter is correct.

    I do like the option of Radar for rain areas when flying to SE QLD a few times a year. I have yet to decide what device to buy for this, any suggestions as I am due for a new phone soon?

     

    Not very ofay with this technology (showing my age) I seem to be locked into Telsta phones and am a bit confused as to what I need to get radar coverage, which is what I need.

     

    My current Samsung 3G links to blue tooth automatically through Zulu headset. There is a radar site on weather, but useless other than an overview.

     

    Posts here are confusing to me. perhaps someone can recommend a device that suits me for the above.

     

    Phil.

    Phil,

     

    There are others here, like Ross, who are computer gurus, so listen to them, but I think all you need is a phone with good internet access and a good screen, so that you can program the BOM or Weatherzone or similar radar pages that are relevant to your area, into the memory, and be able to call them up through your mobile connection.

     

    My B.berry bold does that Ok, in my humble, but some of the bigger screen phones would probably be better.

     

    What is your view and preference, RossBartfast?

     

    Regards Geoff

    "Best we commit Hurry Karry" responded Acki.

     

    "What, slice ourselves open????" said Michio with a certain oriental inflection in his voice, that indicated "bugger that" to all of his mates.

     

    "No" said Acki "We need to duck down to the IGA, quickly, and carry the groceries back for the opening tonight."

  11. Editor's note: By now the all-Australian blue Gum Japanese restaurant crew were reeling with horror, and now seriously considering closing that night and taking a holiday to Broome.

    Who was coming to dinner?

     

    What would they be like?

     

    Would they have to admit Slartfaltbraat?

     

    Could squirty be trusted not to do a wing over after soup?

     

    Would someone bring a "hanger" into the restaurant?

     

    And would the smell from the Rat's runners gas them all?

     

    Only time would tell (or maybe McLocks)

    Would Tomo the Homo ..... sapian be able to find the joint?

     

    Where will the Brue Gum store all of the walking frames?

     

    Would the Pranner make the Shabu Shabby?

     

    How much fun will they all have?

     

    Would Ah Lo tell rivetting storlies?

     

    Would Cowla be shut?

     

    Would someone mention the war?

     

    Will the TurboTechnician be able to drag himself away from the Technical Forums?

     

    Can Ah Lo discuss Section 24 with the bloke from CASA?

     

    Will Hidy Hody be there?

     

    Will anyone be able to be a gentleman with Nanna or her daughter around?

     

    Will Slarti phart blast?

     

    Will Blumby be on the menu?

     

    Can anyone give Dickher a lift?

  13. Have now done 22 hours since inlet valve guide replaced and cylinder base nut mod completed. It's runnning great but still has approx 90ml per hour consumption. I try to keep the oil level at half way mark but this does mean some oil gets blown out evidenced by some in the bottle and some on the belly of the fuselage.I think I should run the oil at the bottom mark for a few hours but don't really want to risk it! Probably time now to ignore it and just enjoy the flying.

    I don't claim to be an expert on this and you should check with the factory if you need to, BUT if you are losing oil into the bottle, or more particularly on the belly of the fuse then you have too much in the engine IF YOU HAVE THE OVERFLOW LINE GOING UP BEFORE IT GOES DOWN TO THE CATCH BOTTLE.

     

    I normally run my 230 about 1 mm above the bottom of the cross hatched mark on my stick and it works great. Always plenty of pressure, reasonable oil consumption and no issues. On a 3 or 4 hour flight I might go 2 or 3 mm up.

     

    If I were you I would trial a 30 mins flight, check it, then an hour or so with the lower level as spec'd by Jabiru .... and see if the consumption drops. If it works then try maintaining that level.

     

    If you have the oil level too high you are not doing your engine any favours.

     

    Hope this helps. Regards Geoff

    "Ah Lo's latest cliptic message a bit too crever for The Lat, and he need to contemprate it some more. Wirr Bungholepranner prease PM the Lat with answer so that he looks crever." thought the Craptain.

     

    "The Lat doesn't have short blats either. In fact The Lat's gland-blats are no longer short." he said.
