SKIPPY, do you have this style of brake with the full circle of friction material? It would be possible to replace that with 4 individual pads, ground to size from cleavland or matco etc. New rivet holes could be drilled if necessary.

Or you could have landed at Inverell, no landing charges for your class of aircraft.

If you ask google the correct question it can provide the answer AI Overview Yes, replacement brake pads for Tracy O'Brien C-90 hydraulic brakes can still be obtained, though the original primary website and storefront are now closed. Because Tracy O'Brien has transitioned or sold parts of the business, here are the most effective ways to source the pads: [1, 2] Direct Inquiry: You can still contact Tracy O'Brien directly via email at [email protected] to check the current inventory of replacement pads and Viton seals. [1, 2] Manufacturer Transfer: The tooling and inventory for some of Tracy O'Brien's designs were purchased by Experimental Aircraft Metal Fabrication, making them a prime contact for these specific parts. [1] Online Aviation Groups: Check specialized forums like the Sonex Aircraft Builders forums or dedicated Facebook groups such as Challenger Ultralight for second-hand sales or to connect with other builders. [1, 2] If you are comfortable sharing: What specific aircraft (e.g., Sonex, Challenger) these are for Whether you are looking for organic or metallic pads I can help you narrow down your search or locate other universal alternatives that fit your setup.

Not all aircraft are Cessnas Brendan, the guy in Newman had a rare Beechcraft Skipper.

On short final today in the Cat55, after a few days in the tractor planting the '26 crop the strip looked very inviting.

Perhaps a fire blanket or one of these welding blankets could be used, make a form out of wood, fit blanket material around form and join the seam with high temp silicone. https://www.vevor.com.au/welding-blanket-c_10056/vevor-carbon-felt-welding-blankets-2-pack-508mm-x-914mm-flame-retardant-welding-blanket-up-to-1800-f-heat-resistant-safety-protection-blanket-3-5mm-thickened-carbon-fiber-fireproof-insulation-mat-p_010421956361?adp=gmc&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_id=21271593978&ad_group=163180832818&ad_id=699136035035&utm_term=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21271593978&gbraid=0AAAAACYOjau14XBmePs9-F5M-n41S3zEd&gclid=Cj0KCQjwoMXQBhDcARIsAH-eEtvXRPrzkvdVRBWQb84ev-zKWuCVrAUwmIbJnrIkFM4d51QVjle-klcaApICEALw_wcB

Use a pre departing the aircraft check list, master off, SkyEcho2 in bag etc.

Some observations on oil filters. Having used the oil filter cutting tool on many rotax and ryco filters the rotax is a lot thicker can. My musketeer's Lycoming engine only has a fine screen for a filter, 1550 total time, no metal and the oil is no more discoloured than similar lycomings with the big paper filter. Pic is the oil screen. There is a guy on YouTube, I do cars, he has dismantled many failed engines, the "forbidden glitter" is nearly always spread, by the oil, all through the engine. The oil filter does not contain it.

Juan going pretty hard on the pilots there.🤔

20 million / 13,000? Active VH aircraft = $1538.00 per aircraft. Presumably jets would pay much more than a 2 or 4 seat private aircraft.

One perhaps unwanted side effect of VH annual registration$ will be that the number of active aircraft will become known. The current 17,000 ish VH aircraft on the register may fall to 13,000? This may require a reduction in casa staff numbers. I believe casa do not currently keep a list of VH aircraft that have a maintenance release. Data is interesting. Bean counters love it.

No evidence of stick and rudder skills

An engine fire would be one of the worst things that can happen while flying. Firewalls have to be fire proof.

Pressure is Pressure, it makes no difference to the sensor if it is seeing liquid or gas. Gas will give a benefit of damping any pulses from the fuel pumps. The instructions re the sensor to keep raw fuel away from it is a concern, is it 100% compatible with ulp? When you have the low fuel pressure indication in cruise flight have you tried, without the boost pump, going full throttle, if it is a flow problem the Pressure should drop further or increase Pressure if you go to idle. Perhaps you need a good old mechanical gauge to know what is really happening.

We would need to see a diaphragm of the complete fuel system showing tanks, selectors, pumps, vents, orifice, check valves, flow meter, pressure transducer. Does this pressure drop occur if using from the left or right tanks or only the main?
