Hi,

I am taking delivery of an XE-285 tomorrow at Bankstown Airport, NSW Australia. This is a new machine, I have purchased from someone else who who did the build. I am not mechanically minded and other than topping up with fuel and oil will have someone else do any maintenance work. I understand that there is some work required at 500hrs. Other than this can anyone please advise how much regular maintenance will be required? Naturally I wish to ensure that it is maintained correctly.

I would also like to hear if there are any other Mosquito owners in NSW, Australia.

Many thanks
Phil

Hi all
Could someone tell me the installed weights of MZ202, Innovative/Inntec 800, and Solar T62-T2A engines?
I am looking into 4-stroke alternatives such as the Viking 90, conversions of the Yamaha RX1 (YG4), Apex (YG4i) EFI and the Phazer (YG2)
Thanks!

Here's an interesting old video, especially at about the 1.21min mark

In the middle of driving, my Garmin GPS unit is not showing the right signals. I am staying on the way because of Garmin GPS unit stopped working. When I ask for showing the signals for the right path, it shows some issues, which I have never experienced in my life. I guess that it can be a problem of update Garmin GPS unit. Certainly, it has become a big technical hurdle for me. As per my technical skill, I am attempting to update Garmin GPS unit. Can you help me for updating my GPS Unit?

In the copy of March/April FAA Safety Briefing Magazine is all the information you need to know on how you can fly in ADS-B rules airspace. You can make your request online. This is good stuff. Here is a link to the magazine.

What was the quote, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." I hope all of you and your families are in good health and have a new appreciation for friends and family and realize that faith will help us endure these trying times. Hopefully we will all come out of this crisis with grace, humility, and an understanding that nothing is to be taken for granted. Nothing! May you all have God's blessing on this Easter Day!

Hi All,

Thinking of online ground training. What do you think and which company would you recommend?
