  1. The ATSB data base is a wonderful thing, here is the report. It seems like there should have been enough separation. It is possible to lose control on takeoff without wake turbulence being involved. Not suggesting that happened but it is a possibility. Turbulence/windshear/microburst involving a Mooney M20J, VH-LOB, Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, on 6 June 1994 | ATSB WWW.ATSB.GOV.AU
  2. Headsets :: Headset Accessories :: Aircraft Pilots Headset Bluetooth Cell Phone & Music Adapter - GA WWW.CLEARPROP.COM.AU Headset Bluetooth Cell Phone & Music Adapter - GA Introducing the Aircraft Pilot s Headset Bluetooth Mobile Phone Adapter with GA Plugs and Auxiliary Input the ultimate solution for seamless communication... This one, has a full description of what it will do.
  3. There is a Bluetooth adapter available in the shop right here at Aircraft Pilots.
  4. This is a good short video showing the power of wake turbulence.
  5. Nah, as anyone who has carried a load would know that is the optimal amount of twist to prevent flutter in them straps.
  6. Disagree, we might learn something. Not a drone pilot but I could work out most of the acronyms.
  7. Don't think this twin rotax will fly for many reasons. There is nothing wrong with basic LyCons, 2 valves per cylinder, push rod engine just like the rotax. Electronic fuel and ignition single lever control has been done by lycoming, the TEO-540. The TEO-540 could be an option on a Cirrus if the demand was there.
  8. If he used the Skippy method for calculating fuel consumption it would have been only 13lph for 110knots, almost unbelievable. Skippy and I are friends for those reading at home.
  9. Pretty sure no one has said on their death bed, I wish I had not taken my aircraft to the beech all those times.
  10. Just be thankful that government IT contractors don't grow your food.
  11. Another textron aircraft that may be dead in the water.
  12. The market has moved on. Plenty of pilots of questionable ability can now buy a turbine aircraft. We can only hope the pilots of existing bonanzas and barons are kind to them and not write them off.
  13. I think i did state the reason why a simple wastegate system is not used in my last post. Here is a picture to make it clear. All Rotax, Continental and lycoming engines have pistons valves and throttles and they all fly in the same atmosphere. No magic for any engine or airframe.
  14. Yes the main purpose of turbocharged aircraft engines is to maintain manifold pressure and power at altitude to clear mountains, weather and or have a much higher True AirSpeed, TAS. I doubt your simple mechanical diaphragm actuator wastegate has any range. As you climb reduced atmospheric pressure acting on the spring side of the diaphragm will cause the wastegate to open when we need it to be closing. All aircraft turbo systems have electronic or an absolute controller or they get the pilot to manually close the wastegate( and hopefully not over boost the engine)
