She is a professional actor who does theatre performing so I guess the makeup would be a pretty normal thing for her. Maybe some people shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

Accident review somewhere 25 December 2025:)
BrendAn replied to Blueadventures's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
pilot seen later converting van into new sleigh -
have you been asked to quote any glazing jobs 😁

This paragraph is what I was asking about. That's a good answer. Your first paragraph is not related to my question. But if the air speed indicator stopped in the xair I could just drive at 6000 rpm all the way to the ground. Its such high drag I can land at 60 knts with a short ground roll. Still have vsi as well for maintaining level flight. Probably wrong but would work.
-
Who said I was looking at the ground or getting too slow.. Should be able to ask a question . If you read what I asked you wouldn't give such condescending replies.

i did 3 circuits yesterday. it was like riding a bronco. felt safe though. i used to only fly in calm conditions but now i brave a bit of weather so i don't get a big shock if i run into any. it amazes me how well the xair handles the wind considering how slow and light it is. couldn't fly today, 40mm of rain put a stop to that.
-
great reply. thats exactly how it feels .
-
Hi jacked another thread. Sorry,😐
-
I fly as I was taught to. I know about angle of attack but because I fly the aircraft as I was taught and according to the poh I will be safe. Throttle for altitude , stick for speed will keep the aoa within limits. When you say we are wrong it makes learners like me question what they were taught and that is not good. I do have a question I would like an answer for though. I do a lot of flying in 10 to 15 knot winds. When I turn crosswind and down wind I try to keep the ball in the middle and it feels like the controls are crossed up. I think being an ultralight with a large wing exacerbates it Am I better off looking at the horizon and completing a smooth turn without looking at the ball. Trying to explain it the best I can .

So tell me how do I maintain The correct aoa if I am too slow.
-
Fair enough for that type but every type of aircraft is involved in stall accidents .
-
I can't get over how many stall accidents there are. It's not hard to fly the correct speeds or even add a bit of not sure
-
I thought of hooking an electric fence up to the steel rails the door rollers run on. Because the birds all sit on them and enter and exit the building there too. Wonder if that's ever been tried.
-
Just googled it. They do firefighting Conversions on the Grumman's.
-
Yes. A bit of a museum in there. I heard a company in Canada owns all the Grumman trackers. Bought for parts. Wonder what they would be using them for over there.
-
I have been using it. The building is so high it's hard to get close enough to do any damage. May have to go to .22 shorts. Have to be careful I don't punch holes in the roof. You can get 38 ratshot , that might be worth a try.

We moved here from wa.
-
Yes they used to have shooters stationed out on the Nullarbor targeting them. Horrible things
-
Good idea. I was thinking of some sort of PVC tube frame that I could hang off the rafters or maybe just make a t hangar to sit on the floor .
-
Being in a WW2 hangar that is storage only except for my xair there are heaps of starlings and probably other culprits as well. Tonight I put a motion sensing owl up to see if it helps. Also thinking of hanging reflective hawk shapes as well. After any tips people may have to deter birds. Keep the plane tarped but it would be nice to have a reasonably clean area where the xair sits.

In Melbourne that would be a quiet suburb😁

And never ever stop in northam according to one tracks travel guide.🤣
-
not really a windfall once you read the first one😁 the other 16 would be pretty boring.

Your just jealous because we are winners. We break all the records

Strange reply. The roo didn't look at our service history before he ran in front of us.😁
