    RAAus was always going to be a stepping stone for me, at least it gives you access to cheaper training

    There is going to be 5 classes of Aircraft maintenance technician certificate, depending on the class you can have different maintenance privileges. https://www.casa.gov.au/rules/regulatory-framework/casr/part-43-casr-maintenance-aircraft-private-and-aerial-work-operations#Extensiveconsultation Hopefully CASA release it in a reasonable timeframe. This is a great thing, especially after RAAus stuffed up Group G by not allowing owner maintenance

    Don't hold your breath, CASA part 43 is still only proposed and the current scheduled release is Q4 2028

    Having only flown taildraggers*, mostly without flaps, I feel very comfortable slipping through the circuit and all the way to the flare. A well executed slip to flare is one of the most rewarding feelings when you get it right *I mistakenly got an hour in a nose dragger which confirmed I have no desire to fly anything with a nose wheel

    The slipping turns? It varies depending on the ALA I was using and the crosswind component.

    Spent the weekend flying in the Legend Cub after 6 months away from flying due to work commitments and weather cancellations for the last couple of planned trips. Was great to be back in the pilots seat, playing around off airport and practicing my slipping turns.

    I avoid paved runways whenever possible. I have my plane at Yarram at the moment and the club down there is pushing back against the shire. Last meeting the members approved funding a FOI request for the financial details and the amount of money the shire makes from landing fees. Be interesting to see as I haven't seen reliable information on what Avdata's slice of the pie is

    I have an external antenna fitted and carry a handheld Icom IC-A16 for radio comms Plenty of people still alive flying without ADS-B or radios for decades

    Something to be said for having an aircraft with no electrics

    It's been in development for over 3 years, according to Vans the design is finished, no further details to address

    I'm a big fan of the RV15 from what I have seen so far. I wouldn't order a kit until they are completely available though, would suck to have the wing kit and then have Vans fold

    There was enough freedom in the survey to be able to make comment on the content, not just the delivery

    Latest issue of Sport Pilot has a QR code linking to a Survey as to what should be done with Sport Pilot moving forward. As someone who rarely finds more than one article worth reading per issue it was good to be able to give some feedback

    Exercise Talisman Sabre is on at the moment so there are a few more American Military aircraft around at the moment

    You can always use the "Ignore function" for posters like facthunter It would be a pity for you to stop posting. There will always be the comments from the peanut gallery, usually made evident by asserting a fact and failing to back it up with any evidence whilst telling you to research it yourself. Best just to ignore them and move on

    There will always be people who make claims with out the evidence to back them up. The people who have the failures tell anyone who will listen, the people with no issues rarely tell anyone. Majority of the failures are typically linked to poor maintenance. I always ran 2-5% Motul 2 stroke oil as premix in my oil injected 2 strokes, give you a little bit of safety margin if the oil injection system fails

    I have a Nostalgair Supa Pup and have the manuals for it, not sure it is the same as a Mk4 Supapup though

    I did the 2 day practical L1 course at Wings out West in Dubbo. Was a great experience even if I had done most of the practical component previously. Was run by Darren Barnfield from RAAus and Dan from Wings out West.

    Lots of rumours floating around that Amber Aviation are about to lose their lease for Tooradin, hopefully the new lessee is a bit more friendly and accommodating to visiting pilots. Yarram Aero Club are currently fighting the local council (Wellington Shire) regarding landing fees https://yarramaeroclub.com.au/landing-fees/

    Have you identified any issues caused by the overheating? Is the motor complete with ancillaries? What is your location? Thanks

Do a great job. You could also try a cup of concrete 😉

    I've been planning to install seat heaters in my next build. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004981517799.html?src=google&pdp_npi=4%40dis!AUD!24.75!19.79!!!!!%40!12000031230573150!ppc!!!&src=google&albch=shopping&acnt=742-864-1166&isdl=y&slnk=&plac=&mtctp=&albbt=Google_7_shopping&aff_platform=google&aff_short_key=UneMJZVf&gclsrc=aw.ds&&albagn=888888&&ds_e_adid=&ds_e_matchtype=&ds_e_device=c&ds_e_network=x&ds_e_product_group_id=&ds_e_product_id=en1005004981517799&ds_e_product_merchant_id=107747560&ds_e_product_country=AU&ds_e_product_language=en&ds_e_product_channel=online&ds_e_product_store_id=&ds_url_v=2&albcp=21819463808&albag=&isSmbAutoCall=false&needSmbHouyi=false&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21819486122&gbraid=0AAAAA99aYpft7EHYrVvAiOBPb8L5mgJa2&gclid=Cj0KCQjw64jDBhDXARIsABkk8J7dA5vgSkLeNIzTvswhJ_H-TH0CaGYk2KQmiRQh5DtSpto1yLdtNqYaAp29EALw_wcB

    I live on steep land, steep enough that a car can slide down the hill with the handbrake on and most 4wd's will not make it to the top of the back paddock if it is wet. My cows on the other hand have no problem with it
