  1. Media reporting an Aircraft crash wedderburn nsw The incident occurred near Napperfield Airfield in Wedderburn, NSW, where two light planes collided mid-air. One plane crashed into nearby bushland, and the pilot, who was the sole occupant, was killed. The other plane landed safely at the airfield, and the pilot was uninjured. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) is investigating the crash. Members of the public are urged to avoid the area until further notice. https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=5d6a2e752d51344c6ec6558db2afb2f42578859991fa71ce16d19402c6d6297cJmltdHM9MTc2NDM3NDQwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=2b581518-e478-6b47-2b1e-00b0e5946ae8&psq=aircraft+crash+wedderburn+nsw&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly83bmV3cy5jb20uYXUvbmV3cy9waWxvdC1raWxsZWQtYXMtdHdvLXBsYW5lcy1jb2xsaWRlLW1pZC1haXItaW4td2VkZGVyYnVybi1pbi1zeWRuZXlzLXNvdXRod2VzdC0tYy0yMDg0MjU5OA
  2. The farm I used to fly from sprayed their sugar cane crop using an Xair. It looked great from above doing the runs and turns for next run (very graceful) as I would see that whenever my take offs and landings were at a time when Ross was spraying. Maybe add a spray kit and auto fly kit to an Xair and run a business? Cheers.
  3. Be good to view a user manual and likely require power via a cord (USB or similar) Not branded either.
  4. Sadly 10 years ago Ross left us. RIP mate.
  5. What length are you chasing, I may be able to spare some.
  6. 400 is the way to go in my opinion, better inner cable quality.
  7. Look up Bowen airport ERSA YBWN; additional information 2. Model aircraft operate within the airdrome locality. They operate safely on the east side of the northern end of 22. All safely and land when inbound or departure calls are heard or aircraft seen. I've landed there when they operate, no issues.
  8. Not draggy, just a well designed roomy, comfortable aircraft with nice width for two up, head height and plenty of room for luggage. Just what I like in aircraft design.
  9. I don't understand why builders and owners don't make or invest in a tow bar before first flight as it makes moving aircraft out and into hangar so much easier and accurate in the movement. Well done. Cheers.
  10. Wash after and twice yearly ACF50 helps reduction.
  11. Enjoyed an overnighter in the Nynja with Sandy at our favourite bbq beach site catching up pre Xmas with flying friends then an early start back to Palmyra for the Mackay Aero Club bbq event. Hazy skies due to our bush fire season. Evening was cool due to 16 Knot ESE breeze and that was welcome after the warm day. IMG_7439.mov

  13. Maybe the two pieces are not halves just a form of double up of attachment?
  14. They look the goods. Read where they sold up their R22 fleet and a large hangar. I guess the hover will be smoother with the 3 blades. I remember the difference between the Jet Ranger when the state Government bought the 3 bladed Squirrel in the early eighties, it was noticeably smoother in hover for our winching tasks.
  15. Saw same this afternoon when popped up on Face book, have to say that I absolutely agree with the content of some of the replies. Like me at times; over the tone of challenges to informed information shared.
  16. They will be helpful, What is rego 19 or something else. Cheers
  17. Reported near Rockhampton Airport a Sonex 19-xxxx is down in a paddock a few nautical miles from Rockhampton Airport. Report over VHF radio is it ran out of fuel. Pilot is reported to have survived and is walking and talking to those on site. Other details very limited.
  18. If so, that is suppling false and misleading information by an individual or individuals; so CASA should seek them out not penalise the compliant authorised persons. Should have been an easy fix to send an investigator and set of load cells and weigh an aircraft then if its over weight then do a full accurate weighing and go from there.
