  1. so , If a RAA pilot floats down to an airfield  . ( not saying why )

    will that pilot cop a fine for , not paying/informing airport management he was ,

    a/ doing circuit, 

    b/ unauthorised landing .

    C/ using said airspace. 

    Unauthorised fire in " fire-ban " time . ( plane crashb causes  inferno )..

    Greedy people would have a party .

  2. " sub 80 klmts "

    Why not "  sub 2litre engine capacity " !.  ( sub 40 hp / 30KW )

    When ' calculating wing area ' , are the ailerons & flaps . Taken into the wing area !.

    Simple to increase the ' flap/aileron ' surface.  Instead of the wing 'per se' .

  3. Except for " licensing " what is the difference between CASA & RaA .

    1.  Insurance,  any difference in the two  agencies.  

    Could CASA ' MAKE ' A loophole for any members willing to be under CASA.  spacesailor

  4. I wasn't converting metrics to another system.

    I can't understand 0.18 of a Kilometre.  

    On a " walking ap " ( Strava ) .or  decimals of " kilometres per hour " .

    why not 'meters per second ' , it makes just as much sense .

    As " litres per bushel " , 

    one is volume . The other, a farmer's " arm reach " around straw .

    What next a " peck " of picked plums in litres .

    Or ten kilohertz of concrete  in a driveway . ( sound of. Truck unloading in Decibels ) .

  5. Or on my phone " 0.18 klmts at 1min.56 sec " .

    My morning jog .

    I had to ask what 0.18 klmtrs was = 180 mtrs .. 

    Easy my foot .

    PS. : I can no longer add-up a shopping list . As I used to when using £Sd .

    . I loose count halfway through 

  6. Raa informs it's members .

    I got nothing regarding deregistering 10-1103 before or after it was removed. 

    Raa has never informed me of alternative registration 

    This forum members. are the only people to even suggest,  putting 10-1103 onto the 19- xxxx

    Register.  ( OR VH Experimental Register ) .

  7. A Hummelbird was ' shot ' in the states, as all aircraft are Federal registered. 

    After landing & showing the metal ( could have said bullet ) embedded in the prop.

    The airfield security called the sheriff's office who promptly called the National Guard. 

    A group of ' duck hunter's ' promptly pointed out the culprit , after being rounded up at gun point by the National Guard. 

    Great story ! , I do hope it's true .

  8. Where could you go ! , after the CFI tells you " you will never gain your pilot certificate " .

    30 hours training , & I loved every minute of it .

    So I gave up , & the club lost that money , that I thought , was well worth it , for my joy flights .

    now I will happily pay a lot more , yet not sit in the left seat .
