  1. I have the option of a panel mount or circular so I am open minded at the moment. Also, thanks for your responses and keep them coming.
  2. Hi, these prices are in USD aren’t they? about $AU 2000 at a guess
  3. Hi fellow wing nuts, I am looking to replace my aircraft radio with a modern small non-TSO'd unit with priority selection. I would appreciate feedback on your experiences with the radios available as well as a tech to install one in Victoria. Thanks
  4. I saw a twin Jabiru under development at Bundaberg a couple of years ago. I don’t know what this progressed to.
  5. ABC and other news reporting CVR found
  6. A great report thank you dppintr. Clear skies.
  7. Bruce T, Victoria does not have annual RWC inspections. Only on transferring ownership.
  8. I visited Frogs Hollow yesterday (on four wheels) while visiting relatives nearby. What a wonderful and peaceful setting. I am not against developers per se but this is quiet rural land with no nearby commercial/residential development. A massive change would be necessary if the Chinese proposal was granted. Apart from the imposition on the locals of the proposal, the benefits would probably be few as historically it would be built by Chinese, staffed by Chinese except for flying instructors, catered by Chinese and accomodation staffed by Chinese. I am not against Chinese trading in Australia but it should be within currently operating larger airfields.
  9. We need to again thank you and your team
  10. My option is to go back to Recreational Flying. You may consider adding “& Aircraft”. This gives us Recreational Flying & Aircraft. It is a bit more inclusive if that is desired. Cheers all
  11. Clear skies for the update Ian
  12. Maybe 4 or 5 years ago I volunteered to spend a week in Canberra at my expense to assist in any way they needed. I am still waiting for a reply.
  13. Hi fellow wingnuts, does anyone know of hangarage available near Melbourne? Thanks in advance.
  14. I have indicated side menu but it is not that important to me.
  15. I think that the “Control agency” is the local police. They then allow other agencies work on the scene and then gather information as appropriate.
  16. Thanks Ian, do what it takes. No grief from here. Rob
  17. If you take the sharp cutting edge off the drill similar to drilling in brass the material is scraped out rather than cut out. This stops the drill from biting in and cracking the material.
  18. I walked through the Melbourne CBD including Flinders Street this week and encountered only a few people begging. None of them were aggressive and they certainly were not reaping a golden harvest.
  19. PIMA air and space museum is excellent. This is the starting point for the tour buses through the aircraft boneyard. A great tour, well managed with photos allowed from the bus.
  20. Seems like a convenient sorting of the facts to me. The selected destinations do not relate.
  21. A shot of the central display area taken from a Bell47. There was reportedly 600,000 visitors over the week and over 10,000 visiting aircraft. As mentioned above, no wire or barriers but polite requests. Maybe the crowd is more polite and well behaved than Australian crowds. A great time again.
  22. Jab7252, your idea is good to see. When you are bored after achieving the result you wanted you might consider a facility to input alternates along the path. Good luck.
  23. I would think the strip is a must in the case of an emergency air response.
  24. Bought mine from the eaa as a member. I think you may be able to search airventure 2018 and get through. Good luck
