don't think the diagram is perfect because the direction between the engine and the maiden radiator is wrong (I think) but it will help you understand.

At 12 V running 120W it's going to draw 10 A at full power. I'm guessing it won't cycle on and off too often with a thermostat so you can expect it to use 10 A all of the time. The best way is to run a 2nd radiator on the coolant circuit but have the radiator inside the cabin with a bypass so you can open the water flow to go through the radiator inside the cabin with a blower to push out the hot air. Just like old-fashioned cars used to do it. Then if it is summer just close the valve and the radiator in the cabin will just have ambient temperature water in it, open the valve and the hot water will start to flow again.

All reports are that this is real footage and not AI. If you listen to the audio you will hear fighter jets in the background. I would not be surprised if this was combat damage from another party engaging the aircraft. There are a couple of different videos from different angles but they all show the same thing including the separated parts and I don't know if it would be worthwhile to create an AI video capturing different camera angles so my guess is that it is real footage.

This is the problem, there are dozens of sites in China where you can via a drone that can carry 500 L payload. These things are huge. Imported into Australia as farm equipment and provided you don't run into anyone then you are good to go. You claim ignorance if anyone ever starts knocking at the door saying you are a farmer, not a pilot and I don't need any bloody license for my tractor so why would I need one for this !

They are already here, provided you are flying over your own property and not doing for 3rd parties for payment or reward then it is already open slather. I was looking one in Kingaroy that was using propellers bigger than what is on a Tecnam. It ran off a gasoline motor that drove electric power units

Don't worry she is still a few days out. They need to come to the Brisbane to visit my wife who is their leader first

You can do this BUT you still need to be a member to hold a licence (or whatever its now called) to fly said plane

yes you can. a business can have a plane registered without the business being a member. Just like you dont need a licence to register a motor vehicle. Sorry i didnt see the earlier post. My Bad

Take a note from the eBike industry. You are not allowed to sell, or import one of these lithium batteries without an approved BMS system. The Guy in the shop was telling me there are recently introduced fines in place of $235,000 and or up to 10 years in jail for anyone selling these in New South Wales. I read from this that you absolutely need to have a BMS

Or 10-15 minutes to Ormeau Train station then 50 cents anywhere

You could always go to Heck Field, then to get to Ballina you can take the inland VFR route. so from Cowra just make your way towards Warwick, then turn towards Jacobs Well and that will keep you around the back end of Amberly, over one row of mountains and descend into the Gold Coast/Heck Field. It's all very easy to go this way but if you need to get to Redcliffe just over fly Heck Field and join the coastal route northbound up to Morton Island and then into Redcliffe or Caboolture

? So who are the new owners ?

and ??

there are only 2 actually registered as per the FAA database but they have registration number allocations for about 12 airframes but it looks like none of these are currently flying. Interestingly in the FAA register one is listed as amateur built, the other is listed as SLSA but the model itself is not compliant according to the FAA list of accepted aircraft models which is apparently updated at midnight every single day

Hang on, its a tailwheel aircraft ? and certainly not retractable ?

Small correction It's not CERTIFIED as LSA It's ACCEPTED as LSA Big difference in a single word, you are not selling a CERTIFIED aircraft. The grammar nazi's will be on-to-you

Needs to be reprogrammed by the engineer will send a private messge with his details

I wasn’t able to find any information on a court case titled "R v GOULBURN FLIGHT TRAINING CENTRE PTY LTD."

There actually are standard words for this, depending on whether you’re talking military, aviation, or general radio procedure. The typical format is a two-part assessment: Strength (how loud the signal is) Readability (how clear the speech is) 1. Signal Strength (first word) Loud – very strong signal Good – strong, but not excessive Weak – signal is faint Very weak – barely readable Fading – signal strength varies 2. Readability (second word) Clear – perfectly understandable Readable – understandable without difficulty Unreadable – cannot be understood Distorted – signal warped, hard to understand With interference / noisy – background noise present but copyable Broken – speech cutting in and out So, examples you’ll hear are: “Loud and clear” (the gold standard) “Weak but readable” “Good but with interference” “Unreadable” Aviation / military shorthand In NATO and ICAO radiotelephony, there’s also the “Readability Scale” (1–5): 1 – Unreadable 2 – Readable now and then 3 – Readable with difficulty 4 – Readable 5 – Perfectly readable So a pilot might just say “Read you five” instead of “Loud and clear.”

he is very up front and does everything squeaky clean. He is not only an aircraft dealer but he also makes software for the aviation industry. I would be very, very surprised if there is ever any personal benefit to him because in all my dealings he has been squeaky clean in every respect unlike some others from times long gone by

I know when Michael Monck went he had to pay his own way, even though he did lots of RA-Aus work when there, same with Darren Barnfield when he was tech man.

From what I was told (airport gossip) everything went quiet because the importer in Australia started legal action against everybody (RA-Aus and CASA) once this happened everything was dropped like a sack of potatoes...

it is so funny how the owner of an aircraft gets so defensive when somebody brings up factual information about an engine or handling issue of that particular breed
