    RAA pilots certificate fly any aircraft up to 600kg MTOW outside of controlled airspace day VFR ?? would be fun a nano jet or rocket powered aircraft at 260 kias

    40kW motor 30kWh battery total mass of motor and battery 200kgs, there goes my idea of CAO 95.10 home built electric aircraft

    Im sure regional shires with a aerodrome would love to get a slice of the business makes good sense for ab initio training, like a converted shed donger for class room and dozen Tecnam P92 would churn through 300 students per year with lots of landing & traffic fees ?? I can see some small RAA GA schools do deals with the larger training schools to offer ab initio training roles & tasks

    $5k redrive kit & $5k auto engine conversion looks very attractive for owner built sports aircraft

    Open source sports aviation is the future solution for affordability & safety in sports aviation, CNC router tables 2x4 metre size, used everywhere and cheap to hire bring your own CAD files & materials, avionics & engine management based on CAN bus the potential is endless

    Automotive Technology internal combustion engines are up to the up to the minute, unlike todays GA engines circa 1940s

    ask what aircraft will you be flying in, download pilots operation manual, pilots check lists, watch youtubes on aircraft type you will be flying in

    RAA aviation deaths are tiny comparing to any other action activities, more people die riding quad bikes for recreation as example, single seat upto 600kgs should be exempt from any CASA CAO or CAR regulations, why should solo pilot only aircraft personal choice & risk be regulated to the same as GA & RPT, I understand when extra 3rd parties are as risk safety regulation should be at a higher level, the nanny state goes beyond common sense sometimes ??

    attitude + power = performance I was taught for every RPM & pitch attitude there was performance of climb or decent for given ASI

    Electric motors are 90% plus efficient vs petrol internal combustion with turbocharger intercooler 40% tops, electric might just add up for aviation ??

    cheaper to hire some fencing than break the bank with extra public liability insurance, holes big enough to allow taking photos, but small enough to keep you away, kinda sucks aviation show you not allowed to look close at the aircraft

    House rules every new pilot has to be checked out before hiring always been the case when took long service leave traveled around Au I got checked at couple of flying schools to allow hiring of there aircraft whilst staying in the area for few weeks

    The only way around it is to be under experimental owner built category otherwise its under regulation 35 of CAR. not sure if under RAA regs Lev 1 owner maintenance if you can do own mods, would be nice to have 95.10 style regs with 600kg MTOW then you can DIY your own mods ??

    Gees drivers licence you can drive a minibus with 12 people & CASA thinks you not allowed to fly 95.10 aircraft am I reading this wrong ??

    A general question how much power & torsion loading can a Rotax E gearbox handle ??
  18. phonetic
    Old saying you only throttle back to Vso only above 3000 or below 3 feet AGL

    $40k AUD plus for Rotax motor ?? makes a Subaru EJ22 motor with redrive for $5k (new or referb bits) DIY project very tempting for the same juice :)

    ballistic parachute recovery system, the best $6k & 10kgs you can invest in ??

    I often wonder the same, what are the stats in the USA FAA Part 103 licence free microlights, saying that its known out west back of Burke few single seat 95.10 microlights are not flow by RAA members with licences, would be too tempting to have licence free aviation in Au

    Interesting maybe suggest flare too high loose ineritia sink flat pancake, learning in PA28 floating was the problem took ages to sink, good point the piece suggest LSA aircraft fly into the ground with low power rather than flare high with no power ??

    A PPL is valid with a class 2 medical and biannual flight test, Im looking at RAA due to the lower cost, GA is very $$$, but I might look at the new CASA PPL with rec medical LSA catorgory aircraft (under 650Kg MTOW) if I do 51% experemental amature build, I can do my own 100 hour service..still have the flying bug just want to go gowm a cheaper way..dont like the idea of hiring a Cessna 172 at $200 per hour.

    Had PPL since 1993, not flown since 2000, wanting to get back into flying..looking to get a RAA pilot certificate, as a retirement project build a 2 seat light sport aircraft :) Regards Frank
