Yeah. Screw flashing codes! It's not a 1980s digital watch 😄 Do you happen to have a USB outlet fitted in your plane? To keep things light, I put in a small 2 X USB outlet (25 or 30mm hole from memory). But I really installed it for the digital voltmeter built into the face 🙂. I also noticed my radio has a voltage readout but it's not easy to see. Anyway, once you have everything sorted, take note of what voltage reads when everything is working properly, in flight. Otherwise you have no baseline to compare. At rest a lead acid battery is roughly 12.4v. Mine charges at 14.6v on the USB meter, 14.4v on my radio. It doesn't really matter what it says, 14.6v, 53 bananas, 37! Etc. if it's something less or more, then start thinking about what's going on. On my plane, I've decided anything less than 14v is noteworthy. And since 14.6v is pretty high, even a smidge over that warrants attention.

Fantastic. Such a lovely looking aircraft ❤️

The reverse is true. I support Geelong, so maybe I've been bad because they were sucking 😄

Last week I went off the rails here, and there's no excuse for it. I unreservedly apologise for the language and the agro, and I especially apologise to Turboplanner. I promise to stop and think when I post, and if I'm feeling off, just stay away until I'm feeling better. I'm confident I've put my issues behind me. I've actually been so well behaved on another forum that they made me a moderator. I will endeavour to bring that level of decency to this forum.

Have you taken a blow to the head? I'm not planning on towing a fucking banner myself, with my fucking ultralight, you numpty. I just thought someone here might know. You don't, so don't cause even more injury to your brain thinking about it...

Man, when I was in highschool, my friend got to do work experience in the RAAF. He ended up going in the (leer?) jet that towed those drogues. Me? I went to a sign writer and mostly stood on roofs in the hot sun holding signs while the sign writer screwed them in.

With or without a banner in tow? 🤔

That's a long way of saying you don't know 😄

I haven't done any training in banner towing aircraft, that's why I'm asking what you would do with the banner when flying over Coorparoo and you had an engine failure.

Over populated areas?

Sitting in a park with mum. Watched a green and white (decathlon?) towing a banner. Looks like a nice job to do 😊 But what happens with an engine failure? Would you immediately drop the banner? Is it made in a way that won't cause serious injury on the ground? What about if it hits traffic? Or legally, if over populated areas, do you just have to accept that extra drag?

good observation. Looking at the flightradar info, it looks like they were doing everything right. Hitting a line would explain a lot. This is extra sad.

Sounds like a clever byline to me. Good. Different. I wouldn't sweat it 😊

Leuk 😊
