"You are confused?" asked Acki "What about us dlinkum Aussie cockies up here in Cowla where the dlought is biting and the economic lecession is taking it's toll on our airclaft ploduction and cashfrow. We are .............."

"We are ... looted"

My aunt said that her nephew had just had his 1st triple bunger, out there in the garden

So ........... forrowing on from this Japanese peliod of the NES, The Lat needs to know how many of the NES contlibutors are going to attend the Cowla Fry-In on Sept 18 - 20 and he will make a Lat booking at the Cowla Brue Gum Japanese Lestaulant for the Saturday night.

As they often say in Hokido "Be there or be square".

Well .... who's going?

And what about you GlandePierre?

.."We not have jumper REEDS in war, can only start with clank handle"

"You can't handle the clank" said Jack Nicholson to Tom Cruise at a crucial time in the movie.

"Zelo start well when clanked" said Tom who was back in his Samarai movie instead of the other one in the courtloom "But with Jab's (those fine machines), you need reeds on a cord molning."

"But where does that leave me?" asked Jack, who had been quickly transformed from that officer at Guantanamo Bay to the Joker in Batman "As I am as confused as Turbopranner is when he comes north of the border."

"You are confused?" asked Acki "What about us dlinkum Aussie cockies up here in Cowla where the dlought is biting and the economic lecession is taking it's toll on our airclaft ploduction and cashfrow. We are .............."

Hey Geoff... How are you Bluetoothing to headset? Do you have an adaptor or is BT part of your headset? If so what brand Headset?Cheers

Dexter

My B.Berry communicates via bluetooth to a small Motorola Bluetooth device that is cabled into a FlightCell ToGo which feeds into by Bose headsets.

Works great & has never given a problem.

I have posted the details of the units here somewhere about 12 - 18 months ago as part of a similar discussion (maybe do a word search for Motorola or bluetooth). Let me know if you need me to dig out the link and I'll post again here.

GraemeK - Thanks for your advice re AWIS. And I thought I had read that book from Cover to Cover. Will now go and find 'em and use those numbers like Phil does.

Regards Geoff

J230 at altitude say at 8500 feet 2900rpm or higher ( remeber percentage power will drop off with altitude so you will have to rev higher to get 75% pwr) what true airspeed (TAS) will it do??

At 2900 it shows 118 - 119 knots regularly, but mine is a little heavier than a factory version, and has a spat only on the nose wheel.

The photo in post # 331 of that thread also shows 7050 ft, 2880 rpm and TAS of 117 knots.

Hope this helps.

Regards Geoff

I have all the AWIS phone numbers programmed in under WEATHER and then alpha.Telsta 3G coverage is good and blue tooth through headset gives exl reception.

This only gives aerodrome conditions which is what I want mostly for qnh/wind direction etc.

 

Will be interested to see what is available later this year with iphone for pilots.

 

Phil.

Your AWIS trick is great. Are those numbers all listed & available somewhere in one spot or did you have to extract them from the ERSA, strip by strip?

I should add to my post below that I can also browse the radar while in the air, if needed, on B'Berry. Having the Berry connected into the headset by bluetooth makes in much easier to use in the cockpit, than when it had a cable attached.

Regards Geoff

Oops.

Rooks rike the Tulbopranner and the Lat have crossed posts .... just rike ......

"Shin, you need grab four jumpers becaise Jabaloos never start when cold, not like Zelo (general laughter).

"After take off head for Fuji San, then when you get to Tokyo we'll meet up at Dad's beach shack"......

"Don't be such a dlopkick, Acki" said Shin "You don't need jumpers, (you dickweed), you need jumper reeds to start those J'loos"

"And" he added "Your old man's beach shack is now owned by a Chinese dot.com mirrionaire who wirr import J'loos to China for the masses. We sell hundleds of mirrions of them, just like they used to sell pushys over there."

"Then" said Shin, "We'll all get a AO for services to the Aussie aviation industly and settle down in this great sunburned rand with our caucasian girlfriends, have lots of little Aussie nippers and rive happiry ever after."

"If youze brokes were 18 when the war started, do youze rearize that youze are now about seventyflee and wirr have tlouble ploducing nippers?" said Nanna quizzically and with a partial Japanese accent.

Then they all lepried with one voice " Not if we ..........

I use the Tesltra modem (the little blue one) with my laptop and take it with me on all trips to get Weather, Notams, Sigmets, Forum access etc and it appears to work well wherever my Telstra Next G/3G mobile works and I am pretty happy with the result.

Hope that helps.

"......lent them in lows ebery time there is a major function" he said.

"As a lesult we will sell more than any other aircraft in Ozz" observed Acki "And a few smarties who don't have one, or don't own any aircraft, or who have never flown one, will be able to cliticise them to their heart's content."

"That be fine" replied Shintaro "But how the heck do we stop a wheelballow from turning left on landing?"

"That was the tlouble with the Zelo" answered Tacki "And that is why they pleferred that we crashed them into aircraft carriers, so that their left-turn landing weakness would not be exposed and so that JASA wouldn't ground them."

"In Japanese, Zelo is the word for "wild horse" and you can therefore see that our cunning plan in Cowla is coming together nicely .... Oh, hurro Nanna, what are you doing with that sword and headband?"

Nanna thought, smiled and responded "I'm gunna ................

Akihiko as he addressed the small Cowra Breakout group.

"No Ret's see" he said "Four Jabiru coming - that will make good bonfire, fibreglass burn very well"

 

"I get padrock" said Shinichi who'd read about the fire at Bundaberg.

 

"What about Gazelle?" asked Nobushi

 

"Ah he berry berry srow, not get here intil next month" said Akihiko.

 

"What is Skyranger"? asked Taka who'd only ever been trained on Zeros.

 

"It made of scrap beer cases" (history, history), said Akihiko, "Maybe we put in chipper and make compost"

 

The brave little band of aviators was in for a big surprise when they reached Cowra.

"This Japanese Restaurant is tops" said the Turboplanter, who is known as a bit of a conna-sewer of such things "Because I have been a broard (and still have the high heels to prove it) and I particularly like this WWII theme, with the Zeros and all. But I hope that there aren't heaps of Zeros on the end of the bill.", he added quickly doing mental high-jinks to convert Skippy$'s to Yen."

"They all fry funnie rittle pranes" said Aki to Taki as he took their orders for the 12th course.

"My Splortszar is a great machine" responded Ahlow in a bit of a huff "And don't call me tacky, either, as I am a lespected member of Wagga Wagga society"

"What this Wagga Wagga clap?" asked Nobu.

"It's .............

....."probably the first pot to let go, 'cuz it'd have to break through all that plastic and 'minium on it's way out. The other three would be a lot quicker..." :ne_nau:

"Well whack in a new set of gudgeon pins" responded El Ratto "As you need to have the SportsSTAR prepared and ready to head off to the Rec Flying Fly-In at Cowra on Sept 18 - 20 ............ and wouldn't it be great if all of the other NES dead-beats could be there too?" he added.

"If the Turbodingledangler can make it our of Bangerville and the serialDicker & Nanna can bring the Gazelle up from Snake Gulley, we'll be looking good if GrandePierre comes over, if HiHo vto's over and Planey makes the trip ............... all to watch Tomo the Homo ..... sapian arrive after he finds the joint."

"We will have such fun" said .......

....."this Rotary Axe Committee sounds ominous" he said to the Rat

"sound like they intend to get us with a high wing, if the low wing runs low on rivets"......

..... and like most RotaryAxe Committees, their converstaions turned to matters aeronautique and germain.

"If I hold our engines at 5,700 rpm all afternoon (at piston speed that would make Gerry Burgess blush) what do you reckon would be the result-ski?" asked Ahlocks.

"What do you mean?" responded The Dicker.

"Well" said the Locksie "If we held them flat knacker, with the throttle pushed thru the panel, at minimum fuel, with just one pilot, and all excess stuff removed from the cockpit (even the ERSA & maps, but don't tell anyone), pushed the prop up to max coarse ............... which one would be the slowest?"

The Dickster thought for a while, made sure no Jabiru owners where about, and said ".........

So all is pretty quiet on the NES.

But why?

Could it be The Rat's HUGE appendage that has put the others to shame, as contact between the NES'ers has dropped off (except for the constant PM's from Nanna, her daughter and the Riverland Lass with the obvious appendage correlation question (to which the answer is a definite "yes") and asking for assistance and probing input with the "G" Force issue (to which the answer is also a definite "OK" ..... if Decca is unable to scratch their itch by 5 pm this arvo).

But Ahlocks and Decca, as fellow RotaryAxers had a cunning plan, which is to ......

Rob,

There was a good discussion of this subject about 18 months ago with lots of feedback from owners. Suggest you do a search for that, as well.
