....once I deal with a magnetized airframe!

Sweet looking taildragger BTW.

Welcome Mick, you seem a really experienced guy aviation wise - and lung wise! All the best....

.... when I first went to work nearly sixty years ago.

J170 - apparently the OP posted a link to some get-rich scam which was deleted.

Give it a try, let us know!

Another liar then?

unless you plan to go into the aviation business in some way, the ATO will look askance at attempts to deduct any flying-related costs.

Bought my wife a (near) new car, got a small box of chocs.

No AR-15 this year...

Welcome Michael! Just curious as to how the recreational flying scene is in Malaysia? It's a 4 or 5 years since I've been there now sadly. Hopefully better than in Singapore, much more space to fly in for a start right?

All the best Ben, hope you get this sorted and make it down here for the course soon....

Yes but you seemed to imply (based on a TV show) this was official USAF policy / action by their superior officers "they were given....". That's where the myth starts as opposed to "some took...." which some most probably did, lots of junkies about. Thankfully you say they kicked out the ones they found.

Im surprised that no body has mentioned anything about how the US airforce Pilots....

Welcome Tom!

I'm definately swaying towards recreational because of the cheaper costs.

Blowfly eh?

....when the heavies come out it is usually not about what is best for the kids but rather about trying to control or make the other side miserable.

Yes dazza, it's quite common in the USA. Guy loved hunting so they bury him in his hunting outfit clutching his 12 gauge, stuff like that. Kinda weird to most of us in Oz but they don't bat an eyelid (the living friends and relatives that is, as well as the corpse one would hope). Good to be different I guess. Being buried with a fire extinguisher might figuratively be of more use for some folk though....

Er not OT very much.... great hangar Compulsion!

Very good! You seem pretty happy with your Nynja I take it?

ity's a very noble organization

I read somewhere the Lockheed mentioned above had a prop speed around 800 - 1200rpm with a reduction drive using a big rubber belt.

Well #2 comes over that way Gentreau, denigrating the explanation as unworthy as it was from an 'American news channel'. Is a linked yoke more visible to both pilots than an unlinked side-shift control? Yes or no? Discussing the actual claims of the video was the point, you are free to disagree with it of course but surely you would agree this needs to be on something more substantial than nationality to be adult.

Got that right, Airbus is government subsidised which distorts the market. Pity there isn't at least a third big player but government subsidies kill that opportunity.

I don't accept that I have to refute anything

I was just point out a bit of racism / nationalism that had nothing to do with the A330 flight controls.

What Sully said and demonstrated seems very logical to me so I was just wondering if you were able to refute it, seems not so just a bit of anti-Boeing / anti-American eh. Most Airbus technology is copied from Boeing, this is one of the exceptions and they got it wrong by not linking the controls.

Thanks, I am aware that many pilots (including American ones I've spoken to) quite like the feel of the Airbus side shift etc but of course that was not the question I asked Gentreau.

Unfortunately that comes across as a bit of a promotion for Boeing at the expense of Airbus, but then it's from an Americam news channel.....

Used to be a person posting here as 'baphomet' he / she might be connected....

The good thing about Sandy Island is that it actually appeared as a shaded area on the Google map. This gives it legitimacy and allows me to offer it for sale to folk like Green voters.
