    Well, my Auster had a perfectly conventional pitot tube and ASI, with a second tube below the pitot with a pointed plug on the end of it and small holes in the side to provide a static source. Except for this one time with the wasps, the only issues I ever had with the Auster were the occasion when all the fluid leaked out of the compass, and when one of the landing gear bungees broke. But I only had it for a couple of years, then traded it on a Cessna 180 when I moved to PNG.

    So, it WAS more modern. Thought so....

    Only ever flew one Cessna, a 150 Aerobat. Fun little thing, but for some reason I preferred the low wing of the Pipers.

    I have even done a cross country flight from Lilydale to Dubbo and back in a 150 - on the return trip the wind was so strong that I had to land and refuel twice!

    The 180 was a bit different though - apart from a markedly higher cruise speed, it was fun being able to climb out of the circuit area (1500'AGL) by the end of the strip on quite modest airfields (pilot only at least).
