Re: very high oil pressure

Without stating the obvious, have you checked your gauge and or your transmitter. I had a simular problem, checked both out to discover it was the transmitter.
I have a split quad oil pressure, temp, cht and egt gauge with a transmitter by Westach.
Hope this helps

Re: Jabiru Nipper for sale.

Yep! I can endorse Paul's comments. I have landed my nipper in x winds that were sporty to say the least, but not by choice may I add. The problem arises when slowing down to a taxi and ground manouvers, the up wind wing can be lifted in as little as 20 kts, couple this with the bungee undercarraige...

Re: Jock wing mini meet?

Ha Ha Des

VW power and hand jobs work! so don't knock it. Mine will fly upside down and still run [sometimes]

FE fly's very well with a light old person in,even though I could not see out of the front.

You need the extra power to compensate for the weight!

See you tomorrow

Re: Jock wing mini meet?

Well, as expected the weather gods have spoilt the Jock Wing's fly-out to Oban. 1000 vis 800' bkn + Mist and CB's are not the sort of weather that you should be out in,much to the disappointment of Paul,Des and Myself. On the plus side I was at Perth today and witnessed another Pilot to join and be ...
