    The star lifter must have a fairly high rating the way they throw them around.

    I looked up the c130 , it has a max payload 2.5 g so even less than your 3 g.

    I thought all Hercules would have started life as military aircraft.

    Brendan There's Plenty of ways a wing can come off a Fire Bomber. Pulling excess "G" is the Most Likely. Nev. Everyone knows that. I merely passed on something I heard on a story about a herc losing its wings. The ad may have been for fatigue inspections or possibly strengthening an area of the main spa. I don't remember but will try to find the article . It was a pretty dramatic video.

    There was a video of a Hercules fire bomber losing its wings a few years ago. I am sure they said it missed an ad for the main spar.

    I don't know much but Geoff is well worth talking to . He is always happy to answers any questions. But I can't imagine them Covering you in a VH AC even going to an raaus event. You would have to be in an raaus ac.

    Also if you are flying vh you are casa not raaus. You are flying on rpl

    I am pretty sure they told me you have to be doing an raaus related activity. As in flying an raaus registered aircraft. Even though the insurance covers the member not the aircraft.

    Ring Geoff tonkins at insurance house. He put the raaus insurance package together. He will answer all your questions. The third party does work well. When the Jabiru went through the side of the hangar at Goolwa a while back. The raa insurance paid out everything straight away.

    The 1 million is tenant liability not public liability.

    It's not just raa. We members have the 20 mil p/l. I have asked the raa broker and he confirmed it. The passenger limit is not enough but the passenger is flying at their own risk. That's why we have fly at own risk decals on the panel.

    Might identify as a male taxi😁

    on the video they were concerned about flutter . on an airliner doing 500 knts does the skin heat up from friction even at those temps

    The flight is done and dusted without any problems so no point speculating on what could happen. I doubt it will be done again any time soon.

    When I was in los Angeles a month ago there were so many driverless taxis and delivery robots running around they don't even get a second look. Just part of the normal scene. And to watch the waygo taxis running around is impressive. One pulled up near us and did a quick u turn as soon as the traffic allowed him too. Amazing to see.

    My wife reckons I argue too much but I don't agree with her.

    I probably used the wrong words. I still had my feet firmly on the pedals. Just let the plane crab / weather cock into the wind with wings level and straighten out before touchdown wind side wheel contacting the runway first. This was with an instructor with decades of teaching people, I didn't teach myself.

    Not sure what the caution is for nev.

    When I worked on a charter boat the person in charge of the bait station was the masterbaiter.

    Why did they do that. I spoke to an ag pilot years ago . He said the cotton crop made the horizon hard to make out when flying over it so low at night.

    I am not insulting you. Sorry if it reads that way. I am just saying you love arguing. Maybe I should have said you love debating.

    The xair has no flaps but tons of drag. I can hit the piano keys at 300 ft high and cut the throttle and drop down quickly. It's like putting the brakes on. I try to come in high for that reason. If I tried a long shallow approach like normal ac I would land half a mile short if the Rotax quit. 😁
  24. BrendAn
    Did lots of crosswind landings at tooradin. Almost every landing is and yes crabbed in there on quite an angle then straighten up before touchdown. Never thought of it as a slip though. Just relaxed feet on the rudder and let the AC weathercock

    He could show you 100 percent success results and you would still argue about something. You just enjoy arguing😁
