    For the record - I am not one to support the meddling with aircraft by people who have no idea what they are doing. I just wished the process for my simple Tach install, could have been a bit easier. Anyways - Short term pain, long term gain, and now I am very happy with my bird.

    OUCH! I fly a Sporty - hate to see them hurt. Hope everyone is ok. Scary!

    Here's another one for you - easy one really!
  4. BirdDog
    Hmm... Nothing I can find.
  5. BirdDog
    Yeah - I was wondering when he was going to let go of left rudder???

    SO... I am now a happy boy! Evektor came through with the LOA and RAA are happy. I have had the Tach installed and happy as a pig in sh%t. Having the Tach right in front of me is SO much easier to manage, and the entire flying experience is way better that trying to see the Tach on the right side. A little costly, but I think it was way worth it.

    I bet you this is aimed directly at the Chinese market! They have already stated that they are in desperate need for pilots, so what better way to cash in! :)

    I am with some of the others... Regardless of HOW it happened, he should never have flown off. Wow!!

    WOW!

    Hmm ok. Depends on what you are asking I guess. Not sure I’m ready to buy - but let me know the details.

    Hi. Chips I am in talks now with an owner at coota ti rent some space. What you go in mind??

    On another note - I am wondering if it should be a loop! The current race will wrap up in Broome, then everyone has to make their way home again. Thoughts?

    Mate - I would love to... but not this one. Need to plan this thing before I jump in! LOL!

    My 912ULS (2006 model) runs perfectly well on Caltex 95 unleaded. I use AvGas - ONLY when I have to, and that's not very often.
  16. BirdDog
    WOW! Big strip = Towoomba maybe??

    Havent read the entire thread, but have you considered one of the new Evektors? The Harmony or the like?
  18. BirdDog
    Yep...Like stated... Jump packs (portable power units) are great, or simply use the aircraft! :) My bird has a 12v Socket, but I use it for the iPad at the moment, but soon it will run the GoPro too. With regards to editing, I use a Mac running Final Cut ProX. Probably one of the best editing suites in its class. No more waiting for files to render to scrub or preview etc etc.
  19. BirdDog
    ahaha! Yep! That's my mantra!

    Excellent!! Yeah - I am in your boat. Not getting the nose wheel up - AND not holding it up on landing. I have to bash out more circuits. I actually bounced a landing last week, and scared the crap out of myself. Practice Practice Practice.

    BTW - If anyone is curious as to what happens in dashware for me - here is a link. Dropbox - dashware.mov

    CONGRATS mate! Well done. Remember - you are forever a "student" :) Onward and Upward.

    Hi David, I actually never fly without a GoPro running. I use it to look back on the flight, but also in case something happens during the flight that I want to review. Not saying something bad - just something. I use it as a great learning aid too. I am only 60 hours in, so I look back on my flights and see what I can take from them. :) has been invaluable trouble shooting my cool oil problems, and inflight adjustable prop.
  24. BirdDog
    Hmm.. Seems a little cheap, and with this sort of stuff, you get what you pay for. That said, I am interested to see the results. Keep us posted. Cheers John

    OH...PS... It's why I shoot everything on my flights in 720. Unless I am going to be broadcasting professionally, there is no need (from my point of view) from shooting anything higher than that.
