Hi JWW, On two occasions, in roughly the same area (Silverdale) on the edge of The Sydney Basin, within a two week period, I had all my OzRunways Blue traffic balloons disappear for perhaps 5 minutes. This had never happened before or since. I contacted OzRunways for an explanation - a telephone problem was their best guess??? 😈

Rumour has it, that RAA may be distracted by greater problems than MOSAIC😈

MoneyBox "I went armed with a little aluminium trim tab that I intended to add to the aileron so that I don't have to constantly hold the stick to one side. " IF?? your flaps can be individually adjusted, you can "fix" the need to maintained/hold aileron correction, by adjust a flap. Flap up (wing down)is usually aerodynamically more efficient than flap down to lift a wing. Remember that an adjustment on one flight control surface will almost always affect another. Rudder trim will correct most small out of wings level trim. The aim should always be to trim so that your Balance Ball is centred in level flight 😈

Agreed - nothing new. "So the rate seems to be $1200 from chasing this up and thats if you have someone reasonably local to do it" As with all commercial services, its up to you the customer to shop aground for the best deal. My Sonex cost (from faulty member) about $700.00, 3 years ago. Try - Aircraft Weighing Australia Pty Ltd https://aircraftweighingaustralia.com.au/ 😈

Well I had a great chat with a very enthusiastic board member - we were/are very much on the same page visa v Landing Fees to be published in ERSA, Private pilots to no longer need to hold an ASIC, for access to most regional airfields and some degree of Standardisation in Landing Fees. AOPA can not be worse than RAA when it comes to advocating on behalf of Private Pilots - I am happy to give them a go. Contributors to this Forum need to realise that numbers count ie give weight to any person advocating on our behalf. If the prevailing apathy continues, we deserve what ever we get . 😈

I will probably use the existing hose, that terminates in the Banjo fitting. It is likly a bit too long but better that, than short. I intend to safety wire as much as possible. Can't afford to have the new arrangement come loose in the air. 😈

Well all the necessary bits are now on hand - Dies anyone have a word of caution/encouragement 😈

I have signed up with AOPA - hope the have a bit more get up and go than RAA (wouldn't be hard)😈

Check your ERSA entry for Balina - AvGas available Viva Fuel, carnet & credit cards. 😈

Just got off the phone with one of their managemente team - Sounds to me like AOPA is still good today - I will be joining as soon as they fix their web site.😈

Hi Turbs - "I think joining AOPA would be a better bet." Not so sure that was good advice AOPA - Australian Orthotic Prosthetic Assosiaton Am I missing something here? 😈

You have "piqued" my interest. Never had an occasion to click on/check out the Never Ending Story before 😈

Thanks , I will look into AOPA. If RAA us unwilling to advocate, to Government & QUANGO's, on our behalf, they are not meeting the first item of core business . If they are not advocating at all, they are just O2 thieves. I am unaware of any; Significant advocacy on our behalf ie if they are advocating they need give us "chapter & verse" and keep us informed of progress. Surveys asking what our concerns' may be, such that RAA can pursue them with the authorities. 😈

Make your mind up. Which is it a "Limited Company" that does nothing for its members OR an "Incorporated Association is to be driven by its members and react to things that matter to them."????? 😈
