  1. It states on the Form 013 - Recreational Aircraft Condition Report "NOT TO BE FLOWN IF UNREGISTERED" "If possible a flight demonstration should be performed by the owner, or a pilot nominated by the owner, in the presence of the inspector."
  2. I just enquired with SAAA, you can not maintain a VH registered amateur built aircraft unless you where the builder or you have built an essentially similar aircraft. If CASA part 43 regulations get up you would be able to.
  3. If a plane is unregistered how does RAAus administer it? The RAAus Flight Ops manual says their only form of enforcement is to suspend or apply a variation to a licence and they need to inform CASA. Can't take a licence off someone who doesn't have one and is flying an unregistered plane
  4. 1. If this is the case does it find a "happy" level where the oil level stays the same and the consumption is reduced 2. Have you tried going back to Aeroshell W100 - I know one of my cars burns more oil if I use one brand even though the oil specs are the same (both 5w30) 3. Are the heads identical so they can be swapped? If the oil drains back to the crankcase through the pushrod tubes do you change them with the heads?
  5. 2 stroke oil is designed to burn, has a very low or zero ash content and usually has some detergents added to minimize the deposits in the combustion chamber. Can't really compare it to a 4 stroke burning oil
  6. I thought you said there was no injuries? Unless you are talking about non compliant aircraft being grounded and other RA aircraft having to go through an audit?
  7. Mt Beauty is in a valley surrounded by higher terrain. "Mr Bland also recalled that Tawonga Gap was in cloud. The lookout at Tawonga Gap is approximately 550 metres (1,800 ft) above Mount Beauty airport. Reference to these landmarks supports the lower end of the range of Mr Bland’s estimated height of the cloud base and I am satisfied the lower height of 2,000 ft “at best” is more likely. " The coroners report is pretty damning of RAAus
  8. Video is now private, I'm guessing he received some negative feedback
  9. Pretty sure Floods uses Lilydale airport for it's maintenance base
  10. Thanks, I have contacted them to enquire about taking part.
  11. Who was the email from? I'd be keen to take part in the Rotax maintenance course
  12. According to the NTSB report the tail rotor hit the ground causing it to break off. If you read the NTSB report, CEN25LA031, there is a fair bit of detail. No need to guess
  13. 1 minor injury according to the NTSB report. Lucky no one got hit by the shrapnel
  14. It's real, unless NTSB are investigating AI accidents now A wider angle here
  15. As the owner of a 10 reg plane I forget the hoops others have to leap through
  16. I like the look of these for extra fuel if your aircraft has somewhere to mount them. https://www.aircraftspruce.com.au/catalog/eppages/ultralighttank05-12347.php 10 gallons if you can mount two and no extra fuel in the cockpit.
  17. Thanks for sharing the video, a great watch
  18. Looks great, did you paint it yourself?
  19. That site doesn't work for me, must be why I can't find the stories 😉
  20. He may have held a Low Level Endorsement in which case he could have legally flown under 500ft AGL https://raaus.com.au/learn-to-fly/endorsements/low-level/
  21. Are you trying to imply there is racism because of the positioning of the staff,? That's a pretty big accusation
  22. I have been on Starlink for a couple of years now. Not the cheapest option but the only usable option in my area. Downloads in the 200s and uploads in the teens are the norm, my wife and I can both be in video calls with 2 kids playing online games and it doesn't miss a beat. Had a couple of dropouts but it is uncommon
  23. Financial mismanagement by the RAA should not be the reason for not allowing a FAA part 103 style regulation in Australia. It's disappointing that most pilot's I speak to have nothing positive to say about their interactions with the RAA or the path RAA have chosen moving forward. It also seems crazy that RAA aircraft rego is more expensive than VH Reg
