Thanks for that good advise Ian,Couple of things if I may Planedriver:- Firstly, welcome to what has been proven to be the most popular and friendly recreational flying site in Australia...there isn't any "dog eat dog" here!- You say that you "have all the right gear", please don't lift the right leg...or even the left leg for that matter
- and finally, if you are into tail draggers, ...can you please check for worms!
Catch yer later------------Gone fishing

Just landed
Hi Guys,
I've just landed on this site, and have had a passion for flying for quite some time.
I have all the right gear as my photo shows, and you'll find i'm real regular with all types of posts.
I'm really into tail-draggers as you'd probably guess, but my current design lacks lift, even though the Rover powerplant runs on all four and does'nt miss a beat.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated,until I get the problems licked.

Ah Ian,
Surely your not going to spoil a good story.
If I told you the pilot learned how to do it in Silver City Airways Bristol 170 out of Manston, would you believe it then?;) Because rumor has it that some good pilots come from that area.
Regards

Born near RAF Kenley where Hurricanes were based and a short bike ride to Biggin Hill soon had me hooked.
On a very limited budget, over time, I took a TIF with 10 out of 13 flying schools that operated from there, just to get in the air.
My first flight was in a Miles Gemini at Shorham which got airborne due to the curvature of the earth, followed by DH Dragon Rapide, Aircoupe, Auster Mk5 before the modern stuff like a Reims Cessna.
Even joined the Metroploitan Police as a Special Constable and helped out at Fetes and football matches, etc; for 6hrs a month, as a means of joining the Sports and Social Club, so I could get flying lessons for only 4 pounds 15 shillings an hour (crafty bugger).
Then got involved with a girl and gave it all away (just call me stupid)

Welcome back mate, with no mention of the mortar scratching?
We'll leave that to BaristaCrappee who's probably doing his shift in Gloria----'s Jeans.:big_grin::big_grin::big_grin:

Planey's pencil is in ???????????????????
For a service, as it's ground to a halt and run out of lead.
Hello
, Planeys back, feeling relaxed, with a big :big_grin: on his face, and happy to report that both wrists are OK:thumb_up::thumb_up:However, if his :heart:37-25-36 laptop gets an unwanted upgrade, and becomes :broken_heart:39-58-41 in about July '09. Then the nurse that had the cold hands, is going to have some explaining to do:faint:.
TheBaristaCaptains statement No.10 is somewhat inaccurate(quote) Planey may not survive the entire episode, and they'll never be able to close the coffin lid.
The facts are, that the pre-paid funeral arrangements, clearly stipulate that his coffin lid is to have electrically operated flaps built into it, in order that it is easier to breathe, and to allow for protrusions to hang his favourite flying hat and goggles on.


.The question is: If BigPete has been absent, was he responsible for the scratching noises we heard in the middle of the night? and was he scratching away the mortar between the brickwork to have a peek:cool: from the next motel room, so he could pass on instructions to his mate?;););).
MusicalPlaney has now mastered the art of the snake charming flute prescribed to him by his Indian Doctor. It is necessary to blow gently, and cover the right hole to be able to reach the required high notes.;)
My thanks go to hihosland for his contribution during my absence, as this saved the BaristaBarristerLeCrappee from wandering around in ever decreasing circles searching for the VonTrapp family singers, where he'd promise to save them, providing they could pay his exhorrrrrrrbitant fees.

OK folks. To all of you who think that you are skilled as a pilot, take a look at this video!

Dan was a single guy living at home with his father and
working in the family business.
When he found out he was going to inherit a fortune
when his sick father died, he decided he needed a
wife with which to share his fortune.
One evening at an investment meeting he spotted the
most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
Her natural beauty took his breath away. 'I may look like
just an ordinary man,' he said to her, 'but in just a few
months, my father will die, and I'll inherit 20 million dollars.'
Impressed, the woman obtained his business card and
three days later, she became his stepmother.
Women are so much better at estate planning than men.

Dear Mr AllWashedOutPete,
Thank you for your prompt reply showing unquestional wisdom.
It is sad in a way that I have to bid you farewell :wave:for a week, while I partake of a short break.
While away, my laptop unit which is a :heart:37-25-36 :heart::hug:model, is unable to receive progress reports from the NES, and I too, hopefully, will be suitably distracted while playing my snake charmers flute which I got on prescription.;););)
Whatever excuses are given by CaptainBaristerBarrister, please just return any communications to sender, as they are sure to also contain an exhorbitant bill:yuk::yuk::yuk: of immense magnitude.
Take care guys, and have fun:big_grin::big_grin::big_grin:, Oh, and you be kind to one another!
Regards
Planey:wave:

Dear (as in bloody expensive) Barrister Le UsualripoffCrap.
The claims in your most obviously "doctored" post No. 511 regarding MrPete, are undoubtedly fraudulent and are of very grave concern to those directly involved,



and will be subject to ongoing litigation.Being such an honest man of very humble means, I do not allow your inferred threats to pressure me in any way, as there is not much that can taken away.
Without any money being available, those in your claimed profession quickly loose interest.
Further your fraudlent past claims

:angry:to being a Captain :question:have been noted by many, who may be called to give evidence at a date to be advised.As you should be well aware, your claimed title is spelt incorrectly and could be interpretted as a means to pervert the course of justice. Your correct title is "Barista", not Barrister, as your colleages at Gloria Jeans can attest.:thumb_up::thumb_up::thumb_up:
Notice of the preliminary hearing has just come through,and is to be heard at 10am sharp on Monday morning at the District Court.
Please bring with you 2 short blacks with 7 sugars, 4 cuppachino's and one flat white for my legal team.:big_grin::big_grin::big_grin:
P.S. Do not vent your anger, by spitting in the cups:cool:

as we have special authorisation to use the Crowns spitometer.See Yer Monday

Missing Flier Found Wandering
By Chronical reporter Ivor Jabbytoo.
The popular missing Victorian flier BigPete has this morning been found fit and well, albeit wandering in an intoxicated state.:yuk::yuk::yuk:
It had been feared that he had been held against his will at a nearby monastry and made to carry out laundry chores gainst his will.
MrPete is very well known for getting himself into tight situations, and earlier this year had to be rescued along after fleeing with the Von Trapp family singers.
On this occasion, he had gone to visit FriarPuk for a few days to assist with looking after his sheep, but wound up washing socks by night instead.

It would appear that last night he’d been allocated duties watching over the sheep while seated around a campfire with other drunken shepherds.
The Friar is well known in the local community for his rather potent home-brew, of which more than generous allocation are issued, to keep out the cold night air.
During his ordeal, he’d had his wristwatch stolen and lost all track of time.
However, as the night wore on and every one started to fall asleep, hearing the Captains distant calls yodel-ay-eee yodel-ay-eee yodel-ay-eee groan" Now where is BloodyIKeepGettingCapturedPete this time?" he made his escape and wandered off into the darkness.
Just as dawn was breaking, he was spotted by PC Plodd, who was making his way to be first in the que when Macca’s opened.
The well intoxicated flier was seen to be unsteady on his feet before falling over again.
When assistance arrived he was singing “While shepherds flogged my watch at night, while seated on the ground.
An angel of the force came down and picked me off the ground”.:thumb_up::thumb_up::thumb_up:
It is good to know that he is expected to make a full recovery after a few strong coffee’s and a bit of sleep, before making a full report on the forums.

" "Fair dinkum, if he keeps getting caught and having to be rescued all the time we might just have to sacrifice him as a bad risk."
Your dead right there Paley, maybe we'll have to offer him up finally as SacraficialPete.
He seems to revel being in this sort of situation.
The bugger keeps going back for more, just like those kinky blokes that go to "The House of Dominance".:yuk:
Thats one place you don't want to go to twice, as that Madam with the long boots, mask and whip really hurts you, and charges more than I can afford:laugh:

.Kind Regards
Paindriver:angry:

And so it was, that SoundofmusicPete headed of for what he thought would be a very well earned break.
But alas things were not as he'd expected:angry:

He found himself being allocated the night shift in the monastry laundry.
"But Friarpuk" said disapointedPete, "I thought you said I could watch your flock by night, not wash bloody socks by nightthumb_down:censored:

Le CrossdressingCrappee went to his closet and took out a bright floral dress and a short wig, to make himself look like Julie Andrews with hairy legs, in the hopes that he could rescue our mate TootrustingPete.

[quote=Captain;63790
"What do you think gynacologistPete?"
Unable to a respond at this time, gynacologistPete has just gone for his early-morning stroll-------------------------- down the back yard to the dunny..
As usual, he's taken his plate of vegemite on toast, a mug of tea, and the morning newspaper.
After he's read it from cover to cover three times, recycleconsiousPete will tear it up in little squares and put it to another use.(thats how you can save money for a J160)
By about 10.30 he'll emerge into the fresh air amid cheers and:clap:

from the red-faced:angry:

family members who have been queing and dancing on the spot, waiting patiently for their turn. -
To the two Air Commodes recently posted.
Not wishing to be a pain in the ass by saying this, but with a title like the Le CrappyCaptain, what other title other than Air Commode would be more fitting? We are open for suggestions.
BigPete passes wind (glider pilots), a few tips on interacting with those with fans on the front, in another section, so must surely be qualified for the same catagory:question:
Planey who takes his Metamusil regularly, thinks this must be a blast from the past:confused::confused::confused:
-
So the Thruster fliers organise a fly-in, with a pyjama party in the evening, and the theme is "The Village People".
StraightPete and Planey have not been invited (for obvious reasons)after all that has been said and done, but word has it that the Captain is trying on his black leather jacket ,hat, and false moustache, and has been practicing the arm movements to dancing to YMCA:laugh:

.Paley and Geoff are not too fussed about it either, so that leaves only the Thrustalot's and our crossdressing-mate to practice his steps.



Left clonk, step right, arms above the head in the shape Y. M, C, and an A etc; etc:;););)

Dear Mr Crappy Captain. :heart: Although we have not been formaly introduced, I feel that I have known you for somtime. ;) My LittleBigPete, known to some as Willy-am, tells me you can be a very naughty boy :ah_oh: at times and I feel I should come over for dinner and give you a damn good spanking. regards
Big? Pete? :heart::heart:
"This is your Captain speaking.
Apparently poor Petrifiedplaney has backed up against the wall and refuses to budge"


.While ManyaliasesPete is just so grateful that his parents did'nt offficially name him William, for fear of being discovered. ---------------(earlier);););).
Never mind, he's a good bloke, and i won't hold it against him, providing he promises to do do the same:angry:
