  1. always one smartarse. usually its me but you can have this one.😁
  2. i agree nothing is perfect. but 912s are pretty close. and it is true bert used to fly up to my friend's place occasionally.
  3. whats being mates with bert flood got to do with it. bert flood used to fly up to a mate of mines place occasionally so i guess he is an expert too. rotax 9 series are a fantastic reliable engine no matter how much you try to convince us they are not.
  4. what is the best prop for cruise and top speed. i always believed 2 blades to be more efficent than 3 and 4 blades. i am talking fixed pitch or ground adjustable.
  5. just read it. now i understand. when the plane in question was circling the maffra showgrounds a friend of mine was watching it with a neighbour and they both thought it was going to stall it was moving so slow. and then it headed off to tinamba . rip
  6. that was a vh aircraft not raaus
  7. jabirus have to be gloss white . if they were black they might get a bit saggy on a hot day
  8. i really don't think this a topic for making jokes. they are for social australia
  9. You must have thought it was a bit funny surely.😁.
  10. i doubt that he would have done that unless at safe recovery height.
  11. bmw are good candidates because its easy to adapt a gearbox to them.
  12. not really. moneybox might feel like a hotdog on his way to pick up the cable.😁
  13. can you even work on a certified aircraft.
  14. i can. i have seen one that still passes leakdowns at 3600 hrs and performs as good as it ever did. i know of honda outboards with over 10,000 hrs . cat c16 diesels that clock up 50,000 hrs in road trains.
  15. https://youtu.be/_5fN2j5XZ7I?si=jDXtLJaBOTZ6CfJs
  16. Raaus recommend RPC holders do upset recovery course. And raaus put out a series of videos on the subject.
  17. My instructor showed me a little but not developed spins or spirals because we are not allowed. Raaus wants to be the new ga but there is no real training to address unusual attitudes. (If this is the correct term). Maybe they should put a couple of hours with a ga aerobatic instructor in the syllabus. And before anyone says it I realise that is a ga plane in the crash . Just thinking out loud about raa training.
  18. Just watched the video on the news. Is that called a spiral dive or a spin. It was vertical.
  19. I understand that but I can't see how joiners would collapse.
  20. You blokes do know blue is using rubber /silicone joiners not lengths of hose. Pretty sure he couldn't give a st#ff what happens in a cooling system 🤣
  21. You take it off once the motor fires ,😅
  22. how did it cause the accident.. did it jam the elevator down
