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
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.
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.
. for a start its 170 hp , thats one option. the company that was modifying mercedes diesels for aircraft was taken over by continental and now they build the complete engine but it is still based on the mercedes design.
