    Has you registration been processed yet ? I paid online and emailed all of the photos they may need over two weeks ago, but my rego still has not been processed, and it expired on Friday. Your quote "a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing" seams to be a more accurate description of our current Executive and former CEO. And the first part of your quote ("a tale told by an idiot") Is a very accurate description of the email that Gavin Thobaven and Myles Breitkreutzare trying to circulate. Their names definitely need to be added to the "incompetent" list. Kiwi Idiot. Yet another grounded unhappy member

    I am at the bottom of the list. To quote one Board Member "This is the S**t stirrer from Boonah" (I know you were only joking Mike) Ian "Groogy" McGregor wont accept money for BFR"s as it is. And all I do for him is mow some of the common areas for him. So yes let them go first.

    We have club members that have been grounded for two months. They fully support the priority given to the flying schools. The flying schools didn't cause this. The incompetent Executive and CEO caused this. So your opinion is that your hobby is more important than your friends jobs? Kiwi.

    You might not like your local flying school and want them to fail, but I and every pilot I know are more than happy for the Flying Schools to have priority in getting there rego's done. My aircraft rego expired yesterday, and if It has to stay ground a bit longer to help keep people employed and receiving a income so be it. Kiwi.

    So when your BFR is due and you can't find a instructor cause he went broke, are you going to winge about having a registered aircraft and not allowed to fly it? After all it's not your fault he went broke!

    I think you need to read the following threads. http://www.recreationalflying.com/threads/raaus-fails-casa-audit-again.50744/page-57 Post 1126 http://www.recreationalflying.com/threads/are-you-still-grounded.53138/ post #9, #14 http://www.recreationalflying.com/threads/how-do-you-get-ra-aus-board-members-to-respond.52981/page-4 The office lied to you. This is a "quote" from a current board member (even he is kept in the dark.) "I have some more information. Apparently the office stopped sending out renewals when our authority was removed. That means there is a large backlog, and a real risk for those who don't check their expiry date of flying illegally." (From http://www.recreationalflying.com/threads/raaus-fails-casa-audit-again.50744/page-57 post 1126) Kiwi. Idiot.

    One of the most accurate posts I have seen in a long time (by cficare) has just been removed by the moderator (I bet he/she didn't want to). Just wanted to let you know that I "liked" it. Kiwi.

    Let me see, RAAus Freemasons: The current CEO, President or should I say Ex-President, Secretary, Treasurer, The other two NSW board members And maybe a couple of other board members. My source wont tell me anything after my last "Oop's" moment. Kiwi.

    Do nothing to the paddock, just get one of these. Kiwi.

    The main problem is that as soon as the crash happened the aircraft belongs to the insurance company, and with out their permission no one can touch the aircraft. As no one was seriously hurt (I'm still amazed), the police and ATSB wont get involved. It will probably cost $2,000 plus for them to remove the aircraft, and they will be lucky to recover anything from the sale of the wreck. Once the Insurance company have inspected the aircraft some of the club members plan to approach them to remove the aircraft at no cost to them (the Insurance Company) so we can inspect the aircraft and try to find out why it stopped.

    Glad that you are both ok. I was at the crash site on Sunday securing the aircraft with 4 others including John Mckeown (local Raaus rep and approved Raaus accident investigator.) I drained the remaining fuel out of the starboard wing and there was no evidence of water in the fuel.(I also filed up the ride on mower out of the same drum straight after Craig had filled 7200.) Another club member was flying over the Dam 30 minutes earlier in his Jab and experienced carby ice, (high time pilot) so that is something that needs to be considered. It will take quite a bit to recover the aircraft and while the insurance company might not be interested, Ian and the rest of our club plan to find out why the rotax stopped. Google coordinators are ....................... Google earth shows only the northern half of the Wyaralong dam, so I have included a photo taken from the air not long after the crash. (The jab pilot and I went looking for the downed aircraft while Dave went by car). I have also included some photos taken from the ground. Kiwi.
