  1. That's what I wondered . If they are stall proof why are not more popular, the ones I have watched on YouTube seem to need a lot of runway .
  2. Why ?. I guess there not popular with most otherwise there would be more of them around. Would like to hear your reasons though. I am being serious.
  3. Ok. I just got off the phone to raaus. That's how easy it is to get the facts. What I thought was wrong. All endorsements on your certificate remain valid with a single bfr. 2 axis and 3 axis alternate as stated by blue.
  4. There are plenty of people flying and restoring old rag and tube aircraft. It's a good hobby
  5. I will ring raaus today and get the information direct off them.
  6. I never said it came from casa. I said they are under pressure from casa to lift their game. They might have looked at this and decided there might be a comeback on them if their is an accident.
  7. Plenty of changes have been happening with no advertising
  8. I think it will be true because raa are under pressure from casa to lift their game after all the drama a while back. It actually makes some sense. If you have taildragger endorsement but buy a nose wheel and do all your flying in that then how can raa be sure that you can handle a taildragger if you haven't been flying one for the last 2 years . You will have to decide what endorsement you want to keep it do the bfr for both .
  9. Wish I knew what that meant. Must be a 1950s saying.
  10. I did say I have tissues if he needs one. Where else is he going to learn that Rotax engines are badly designed Or get legal advice about car racing. We have it all ,😂
  11. I don't expect a free ride that's why I donate to this forum each year😁 I pay to get shot down in flames. It's all good. I have a box of tissues if I need them.
  12. I think Skippy is being taken out of context here too. We can go on about this for years.
  13. I am not getting into another shit fight with you. No one can have an opinion that is not aligned with your views. I know what I meant,you want to interpret it differently that's your problem.
  14. The posts were about the freedom to do what you want within reason without involving passengers or flying near people. Basically what part 103 is in the USA. you , turbo and one-track have all gone overboard with your replies.
  15. I have many years experience with hydraulics. The restrictor valves as you call them are break aways fitted to lifting booms , cranes etc. On mine sites anything above 600 mm requires fall Protection and forestry has gone the same way. I am not getting into a pissing competition about workplace accidents.
  16. We can all come up with accident stories about this and that. I know plenty. At the end of the day you have to use common sense. People will always have accidents. You have to minimise risks but these days they just go over the top with everything. If you think it's a good idea to waste 2 days changing a hose then good for you.
  17. At least I don't have to wash the sand off my tyres after landing on pristine beaches in the tropics, I feel for you.😁. Looking forward to next lot of photos.
  18. that bloody skyranger doing another fantastic trip to make me jealous. your just rubbing it in now.😁
  19. i used to work in the bluegum harvesting industry in albany . we used to carry spare hoses in our utes. if you blew a hose you took it off and fitted the new one. now the big corporates have taken over the industry if you blow a hose you tag machine out. if its more than a meter off the ground the company sends a scaffolding person out to build a scaffold beside the machine. once he is done a fitter will turn up and change the hose. then the scaffolder will return and remove the scaffolding. my mate that does repairs for all the companies in the area said an hours work now takes up to 2 days. imagine the cost compared to the normal way.
  20. If you actually read my posts you would not be accusing me of the thing's you just did. For a start I said we should have freedom to do our own thing within reason if we are not carrying passengers or flying near people. Which is what I do. Look up part 103 in America. It works well. You and one-track are making out I am flying a 6 seater full of passengers around the city.
  21. While you all are talking about headphones, i have a set of refurbished Bose a10 s..worked perfect but now the noise cancelling is dropping in and out. Would anyone have an idea what causes this.
  22. You can interpret what I and skip have said how you want We are saying we want to do our thing within reason. Don't try to make out we want to just do whatever we want. Your comments are pretty condescending really. And a lot of duty of care is rubbish ,not all of it obviously. It gave rise to the safety industry, now we have dickheads thinking up new rules every week in my job. It's hard to keep up .
