*scratches head* wonders out loud, what's wrong with the factory design?

Have you bumped into any of the previous scholarship winners around the clubhouse?

Spare a thought for our American brothers, they can get fixed price "sport pilot licences*" for $2500-3000. That's a minimum of 20 hours of which 5 hours are solo plus all the ground school...

* equivalent of an RAA certificate including passenger and nav endorsements

Probably not. I am running out of things that I think are dangerous and need fixing.

Cut some new screens for the silver one this week.

First Jabiru to 2000 hours with just filters, oil and spark changed.

First RAA plane to land on the coat hangar.

First Inverted!

First RAA plane under the harbour bridge?

Don't Jabiru use Chinese knock offs of Facet pumps?

love the kimmell

Finished cutting my tornado screens tonight. about 4 hours work. still need to sand the edges smooth, drill, cleco and install 150 odd rivets and I am done. once I finish repainting the frames

The current RAA issues with CASA haven't even scratched the surface of airworthiness. Self regulation is great, the CFI says its safe, its safe.

Don't take any risks you aren't comfortable with.

Why does England look so dusty and dry like Northern Africa or Arizona
