RG59 is 75 ohm coax NOT 50 ohm. RG400 is what you need to be using. Its a double shielded teflon coax at 50 ohms. Less loss that RG58 which is 50 ohm coax.

I have known Trevor for about 50 years. First in RC modelling when a teenager. he has a hangar at YCAB and built the RV8. I have been flying it it but when he had a more sedate engine in it. Trev changed the engine out a couple of years ago with a much more powerful turbocharged suburu than what he had in it. It also had a constant speed 4 blabe prop. The plane was a weapon. He travelled regularly to Raglan to see Ron the owner as they were good friends. Trevor is a very strong person. We are all very upset by this and we hope like hell he can pull through. We are well aware of the odds of survival with the percentage amount of burns he has. As a signal of his strength to be that badly burned and also the chest and other physical injuries from the crash then to walk 2km back to the homestead shows just how determined and strong he can be. Trevor is a very experienced pilot and has flown a lot of different aircraft including WW1 Fokker Triplane and Sopwith Camels and many others. He has done a heap of first test flights on all sorts of aircraft. He can be a bit gungho at times but his experience in flying all sorts of aircraft and his skill can not be denied. The club at YCAB and all of his friends are praying that he does pull through of course. I looked at his track it seems he took off from Redcliffe on the 22nd and the accident took place on the 23rd at about 10am. We dont know for sure but pretty sure EFOTO most likely . The suuru would have been at full power and I would say it let go. There isnt a lot of options out of that strip but it is a very long strip. I think he has gone into the trees at the end and has walked all the way back to the homestead. I dont know anymore details yet. 11K views · 104 reactions | A pilot is fighting for life in the RBWH,...

Yes it does but make sure you connect to the right pads from where you took the connector off

No issues because the mini coax pcb connector I removed is a test connector that just uses a special test connector which will go to 50ohm input. It appears to be 50 ohm there as the performace basically doubled by going from the pcb antenna to a proper ADSB antenna. Thats a good test that the impedance is close. The coax was teflon 50 ohm and the tail connector is a BNC so everything maintains roughly 50 ohms. Coax lengths matter though at 1090mhz but it seems to work fine. The coax pcb connector was only so they could test the output of the chip It was basically a switch just a single pole single throw. The test connector pushed the contact away for the pcb antenna and connected the output of their chip to the test probe fitting and of course to their test equipment Mark

Well in the Sav it doesnt really matter. I cant comment on other aircraft. The comment is for Savannah's not any other type. I have done it with flaps and without also with a lower flap setting which is available only to my aircraft or anyone who installed my modified flap bracket. Using full flap I cant comment on as I have never done it with full flaps on a savannah because I believe that flap setting is too agressive anyway. Thats why mine has 3 flap settings not just 2

I love sideslipping in the sav. Flap or no flap really it doesnt matter. The sav does it really well. I do it all the time

Yes Ken is still servicing the radios and also has most parts but some are not available anymore. a PLL fault is a hardware issue not a software one. I think the original PLL chip is not available now but Ken has a updated mod for it Mark

They had a engine fail just after takeoff and also looks like another had lost thrust. I think every company who has tried to get their first orbital class rocket off the ground has had this type of failure. The one thing they took as being great was their thrust vertoring worked very well when the thrust was asymetric. Gilmore seemed pretty happy that at least it got off the pad

I think Mike they need to be more forward in the airstream. Like they are they will act like a vacumm sucker and possibly draw fuel out there will be no positive pressure going into the tank.

Yes well there were a few aircraft that seemed to get "special treatment" but then they had to have the crackdown and that is certainly not allowed any more

Group G does not require a LAME if you build it yourself. The same as Experimental in GA But MOSAIC updates the LSA category in the USA which seemed to be a bit more restrictive in the USA except LSA in the USA you could fly in CTA if you had done the rating.

Class 5 is not recognised by RAAus or even basic med is not recognised either. Only the drivers licence medical. The stall speed comes up which will allow more aircraft and NOT weight like we are limited to 600kg even though the aircraft can weigh much more. Under the current RAAus rules you cant fly a 720kg rated aircraft in the 600kg sport pilot category. This why my RANS S-21 has to go in group G or experimental in GA. Under Mosaic rules the RANS will be fine..a Cherokee or similar will be fine and you can fly it with a drivers licence medical. There are quite a few differences with MOSAIC
