Your CTAF is 126.7 and your Area Freq is Melboure Centre 122.6 So you should be monitoring 122.6, this is also the frequency you should be on if you need to declare an emergency. If your radio is working properly, once airborne, Melb Cent should hear you on 122.6 (they may hear you on the ground), you can also call and ask for a radio check on that frequency.

Skip, as you've been writing to all these Gov departments, AOPA, RAAus, CASA, Airservices etc, it wouldn't be hard for you to put together a form letter and a petition and post them here. We could all then send it to Minister King, local Federal and state ministers, and the above agencies etc. I know this will disappoint you, but we're too busy/lazy to build the vehicle and fuel it for you, but if you provide the vehicle most will jump on board.

A sign of good character is being able to apologise when you know you've stepped over a line.

Thanks Ian, Still happy with my AP ANR-1 set though 😁

Hi Ian, Are the new ones an upgrade from the current AP ANR-1 Headsets?

Could you convert the airlerons into flaperons like the RV-12?

Apathy is correct Skip 😀 Populist movements lead by no-one rarely lead to an actual outcome. Every cause needs a Champion. I do actually agree with you on both ASIC and Landing fees in ERSA, but I've got other issues on my plate that are more important - to me anyway.

Skippy, if you want people to follow, you have to lead. I think most here agree with you, the system we have isn't great, it works, but should be a lot clearer and I agree, should be in the ERSA ideally. Do the ground work, find a way forward and then people will get on board. In the meantime, we'll keep doing what we currently do as it's easier than blazing a trail to a better solution.

I'm glad I've got you guys to worry about this stuff for us. I'm just going to post this here, saturday morning with the grandkids 😁 Sign the form. Go fly. Lifes too short.

I've been buying clecos from here, cheaper and better quality than Spruce Bullant Performance - Clecos Sorry, still need mine

I'm going to have my old man whinge here. I don't understand why aviation software developers are hung up on Apple products? This wonderful piece of software is only available on a device that reliably overheats to the point that there is a market for powered tablet holders with in built fans etc just to try to keep them working. Yet I can buy an Android based tablet with more features for half the cost that doesn't overheat, but there is less aviation software available, and those that are available are downgraded versions. Andriod has 72% of the mobile device market, Apple has 28%, What am i missing? 😕

We went in 2024 and had a good time. Can't go this year due to family commitments. Overall, we thought it was a good event, the ASIC issue isn't a problem if your camping underwing as they have an area set aside that is not airside. Portaloos only a short walk from the camping - see the blue loos in the photo. Day visitors parked airside and needed an escort if they didn't have an ASIC. We also hired a car so we could go to town for dinner, see the dish, buy 98 at the local servo etc.

Hi MB, I've got a RAM mount with a table tholder that sticks to the canopy, just in front of vent, but angles back past the vent. It's easy to reach, doesn't block any instruments and gets cooling air from the vent. This is the best pic I've got though.

Hi MB, I've emailed you the Evektor Bulletin for the Crosswind Limt increase, 18kts by the way. Bulletins are available on the Evektor Website. Evektor Bulletins
