  1. I just read that CASA document and it is basically the MPC course that SAAA do. Yes its done if you build your own and maintain your own VH registered aircraft. It looks to me like CASA will adopt that for LSA and ELSA aircraft..they come under the pervue of RAA now. The L1 course RAA do is not like the MPC course. Most of the MPC course is literally all the legal paperwork and structures of maintenance of a VH aircraft. I expect if Group G happens for RAA that is what the maint proceedures will become.
  2. The SAAA do courses every year for maintenance. Its for owner builders and you can do all your own maint...legally also you can sign off on anyones W&B as well but it of course is not recommended to do. I did the maint course in Feb last year
  3. Caboolture has a lot of hangars. The airfield is leased from the council on a 20 year lease...this can be taken away literally at any time and all those hangars would go. There were 26 new hangars built a few years ago they were $182k and $212k each if you wanted one..they held a ballot as there were more buyers than hangars...rembering that the lease can be taken away at any time or not renewed in about 18 years time. Best scenario is of course a freehold purchase or buy a block of dirt somewhere and have your own airstrip. But if you want the airfield style of life its pretty much a given you never really own your hangar There is also a yearly insurance and lease fee required for each hangar
  4. Actually just ordered a Eprop for a guy over there in NZ about to build a savannah
  5. Its not available yet Hank...they are almost finished testing though
  6. The savannah system works well..although the kit supplied arrangement is crappy and leaks. But basically it a block with 4 ports screwed into it. One is the inlet from the pump then two are to outputs to the carbs and the last is the return to the tank. This return fitting has the .35mm restrictor in it. This restrictor will NOT do anything to your fuel pressure from the pump on the motor. You have a issue somewhere else. The electric boost pump is usually a facet and the number is a 40105 for a high wing tanked aircraft and a 40106 for a low wing tanked aircraft. The 40106 has a bit more pressure out to pump uphill
  7. Luca ... If you go to this page 17 on my rebuild blog you do what I did on the outer tank sections. I changed my tanks but the process is still the same Have a read through this blog if you havent already this may give you some insights into the construction. I have made mods though to what I want in mine. My previous blog building a new XL is also on here if you ahvent read it..it is the first one I built some 9 years ago and it will show you some tips as well On page 4 you will see I did the same thing
  8. No those pots at te side are audio stuff adjustment. The VCO is internal in the frequency design..its setup at manufacture
  9. radio micro processors can have a heart attack with unclean powersupplys
  10. The engine running shouldnt make any difference unless your regulator on the engine is putting out high volts or spikes..check your regulator output
  11. Voltage Controlled Oscillator...its basically the main frequency control of the radio. It is the frequency driven by the PLL (Phase Locked Loop)...if the VCO or PLL dont work properly the radio is not under frequency control. The microair has a big habbit of just running off to other frequies of its own choice.
  12. The VCO maybe dropping out....its a common issue with the Microair
  13. Hahahah buy another radio...waste of money continuing try to fix a bad design
  14. Here in OZ most seem to be running 2 blade wood props but some do use the carbon fibre 2 blades
  15. He has a Jab engine so only certain props can be used because it is a direct drive engine Eprop are testing props for those style of engines now and will soon release their versions. There will be 2 and 3 blade available I am told
  16. Sent you a PM now
  17. Yes just chasing his number now
  18. Dr kev still has his and it is forsale
  19. Yes there is one at Caboolture for sale It looks like that one pictured
  20. I just re enable the same one before it ends its on my telstra app
  21. I use the Telstra 5gb one its $50 I just redo it every year. I only use the that Ipad for flying though
  22. Its the level of noise that triggers the vox operation...your issue is the frequency of the noise I think. Once the mic is open it is getting the higher frequency audio of the engine noise. So you have to desensitise the microphone a bit to compensate
  23. Try the Intsqh Thats the vox tripping for the intercom that will also tell you your audio out level quite a lot if you ahve a mate beside you..he will hear how much noise is in the cockpit in the background and that will allow you to adjust the internal micaudio level Its a adjustment you need to play with..its like running a pool at home its a balance of salt and chlorine and PH to get the levels you want. I have a new MGL V16 radio here and its a digital version it also has issues that are caused by all of the adjustments and how you do them but when you get the balance right between mic element audio level the internal radio mic gain etc it sounds really good on transmission
