Geurnsey, Spoke to the guys from the AMSA (marine search and rescue) at Temora re this. You can use the PLB for marine, land or air as long as you go onto the registration site and specify the use for that purpose (you are not locked in to that purpose only, you can change it.) Takes 2 minutes to list marine , or change it to aviation etc. The guy that sends the rescue people out said that he would really like to know what he is looking for, a plane, a biat, hiker etc, so he can allocate resources and search parameters to suit. Read the site specified by Magcheck and read your owners manual from your plb. Cheers Maynard

www.pemet.com.au is one that they used there as I downloaded a weather briefing before flying out. Put together and placed by Ian Boag. I wouldn't be without it in my favourites folder.

I was approached by one of the refuellers at Temora during Natfly. He showed me a new 2 stroke oil that has been developed by shell in conjunction with rotax for 2 stroke engines. (the rotax association was on the label. He said that shell wanted a n oil to accompany the 4 stroke aeroshell product. I didn't buy any as I have 4 lts of activ 2t left but said I would put it on the forum as an interest point. Cheers Maynard

always the one just gone:thumb_up:

I agree Pud. My yellow Xair R and T was parked next to my mates Perceptor N3 Pup (2 cyl vw R and T). We onlt travel at 60kts cruise but give us the fuel and we will match any distance you can fly (it will just take us longer.) For example, I left Temora on Sunday morning, headed for Inverell. Then to Armidale where I am at present and will return to Goulburn on Saturday, weather gods willing. Total air time 15 hrs. Trailer the aircraft to Temora, I dont think so. Heon, I dont even need water to land. I agree with others on the forum, I enjoyed the flyin, didn't go on Saturday night as I did it last year and a little of that went a long way. Food court was good but could have used a little more tweeking. Bar service was excellent. The train around the site could have used springs in the carriages as back damage was a very real thing for those in the rear seats. Very disappointed in Raa Aus management and some board members. (other board members did make a good appearance) No high profile at what is, after all, the premier Raa aus event of the year. Given the problems that Cazza has had with the Raa Aus upper management and their political agendas, why dont we appoint the CEO to bust his butt and organise next years event to the same high that the people who actualy work at the coalface and not the office bar fridge, can acheive. Great to catch upwith a lot of the members of this forum and put faces to names on Friday morning. I thought the air display was great and more would be a good thing. Rag and tube rocks!!! Enough of my rant for now:ranting: Maynard

Give wade a ring, he is still very much in business and the delivery, and prices are still brilliant. Bought some exhaust springs off him that arrived yesterday. Cheers Maynard

If the airbubbles are only small, they will settle out in the bowl of the carby, no problems. ISharp bends in the lines, restrictyions etc will generate small bubbles but these aren;t a problem (at least I have found this). The large bubble (like an inch or so of line, would concern me greatly, but small bubbles, if not caused by holes or leaks in the fuel system are fairly normal for pumped fuel. Just my 0.2c worth (do not take this as gospel, check before actioning.) Cheers Maynard

Wade MAHLO at Wade air in orange has the overhaul kits , I have used them myself. ( I have no association with Wade air.) Cheers Maynard

I have a current exemption to fly over built up areas from RAA Aus. I have a rotax 582 that was specified in the request to RAA Aus. Cheers Maynard

So don't buy the thing, at least the seller is up front about it. Still a really good price if you ask me. Cheers Maynard

There's nothing wrong with a bit of self promotion for such an important thing as a published, and flown first solo. Congratulations. Send the article to both then if one doesn't publish, the other may and you are covering both bases. Again, well done and enjoy the freedom you have gained.

There is fuel (aerorefuellers card) at Corowa.

It will be great to see another "little one" in the skies around Goulburn. Congrats on the Himax, must have been a great trip down!!!!

I thought the issue was about the outsourcing of the Qantas work overseas when we have the competent staff here. Am I naive or has the Qantas reputation suffered by placing this work overseas and not haveing the same high standard of QA we used to have. Obviousy the bottom line rules in place of looking after the people who care and matter.

Got mine in the mail yesterday

And the problem with Goulburn Aviation is???

I have an approval from RAA-Aus to fly my Xair with a rotax 2 stroke engine over built upo areas, just remember your min heights Cheers Maynard

That is brilliant. Noisy, but brilliant!!!!!

Earlier this evening a trike crashed into a paddock beside the Goulburn aerodrome, killing the pilot. Emergency services were quick on the scene. More news later Cheers Maynard

If people feel that strongly about the current encumbemts then where were they when the elections were being held. Stand for election if you feel that strongly.

Thanks Steve, Spoke to Tony's wife this morning and will order them off her. Cheers Maynard
