Our RV7A -- VH JWL
JWL's build started in 2007 in a small country town called Merredin. In 2010 JWL was moved to the Western Australian south coastal town of Denmark. Several years more work took place before it moved to YDEK (Denmark Airport). Here it was housed in the hangar it now lives in. JWL had a maiden flight in August of 2013.
Since then it has flown to Victoria twice, across the vast Nullabor Plain.
Planned cruise speed is 150 knots. Fuel burn planned is 35L per hour, although at height a fuel burn closer to 30L is achievable. Endurance is 4 hours - both pilot and aircraft.

📡 MGL Panel ADS-B In Integration (Stratux Setup)
We use a Raspberry Pi 3 configured with the specialized software builds below (flashed via ApplePi-Baker on macOS) to cleanly push live ADS-B traffic logs directly onto the integrated MGL Avionics Panel. A standard USB-to-Serial adapter is required to bridge the data pipeline connection successfully. The Raspberry Pi also pushes ADSB aircraft details onto an iPad running AvPlan and will work with OzRunways. Details to get this working are available on the software websites.
