I like the contour. Mine handles the propeller chop better than the Go-PROS that I have seen. As for 4K video, why bother? You need a 4K display to make the most of it and a super computer if you intend doing any serious video editing.

Yep, RH circuits. The tighter circuit is the ideal circuit, the rest were a bit wide. This is because I was just starting out in the Jabs after previously flying the Tabago TB10 and Piper PA28 .

Here's a sample of my circuits from about 5 years ago.....

Did you run over a yellow-bellied-sap-sucking-gound-warbler when landing? They sound like that.
-
Not being on FaceAche I guess I miss out. Oh for the days when folks ran websites instead of exclusive facebook etc.
-
Did you bring any COLD weather with you????

Regarding Gawler, be aware that Saturdays are training days for LSA students and there is also lot's of Glider activity. Local frequency is 126.55 Mhz.
-
WHAT!!!! I fly out of Gawler, am a member of the club and I know nothing about this.

It's the same for all forums. I'm a member of Ham radio forums, computer programming forums, science forums and the behavior is the same. Must be part of the TCP/IP suit but I am not sure which layer it's at.

Quote : "When we first came to live at Hill Top in 1965, a fire in the Burragorang was 'all hands to the McLeod tools and backpacks, down the hill, go for it' The lady who ran the local phone exchange ( yes, we had wind-up phones here in 1965, through to about 1970) was the de-facto 'incident controller', the locals got instantly onto baking scones and cakes and making infinite depth urns of hot tea... In the 1968 fires, we nearly lost the place here: it came to within about 500 metres when the wind reversed and bought rain. I have some stories about that fire - but not germaine to this thread. : End Quote. Arrh yes, These were the days when men were made of steel and ships were made of wood and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.

Has the RAA blocked me from accessing their website?
Jabiru7252 replied to fly_tornado's topic in Governing Bodies
How do you folks pay your RAAus fees? I do not have a credit card, I have a debit card but they can't use that. They do not supply a BSB number. I logged onto the website and discovered I only have 96 hours total flying time which is wrong by a long shot. I wonder if your details are correct? -
78 year old pilot. Hell, if I can manage the dunny by myself at 78 I'll be happy, let alone an aeroplane. Thanks to the Great Magnet he made it out alive.

Starts in games, ends in tears...........

I have seen that plane go over on a few occasions. Nice looker. What a pity.

Mid-air with eagle at Bathurst

I'm surprised the propeller didn't fail. -
Use a winch or pulley to pull the plane into the hangar?
-
Is the wing on backwards? The photo makes it appear so.
-
I wouldn't bet on it. You can have a degree in Physics or Mathematics and not be able to operate a video. It's true, I've seen it.

I'd suggest your brakes need work because it's not a known gripe with the J160 or J170. I have heard the J230 could do with better brakes. I once had the brakes lock on (due to the silly design) after landing, a dreadful experience.

I knew a guy who spent many years in Japan (from the 1950s onwards). He said the Japs got into the war because they saw the west as trying (forcing) the Asians to become westernized. They saw westerners as unrefined slobs.

She has what one would call an "indomitable spirit". Reminds me of that guy with that horrible body wasting disease. Lost his legs before his teens, his arms by the time he was thirty. His body was gone when he hit fifty. As he approached sixty he was nothing but a head on a pillow. At sixty five all that was left was two eyeballs, but this guy kept on fighting, spreading hope and inspiration. At seventy he went blind. Shows how lucky we are. This story was told to me by a fellow at the Juliar Farr centre back in 1999. He was truly buggered but was as funny as fart in an elevator.

What's an FOI?

wow, things turn nasty so quickly....

I think you focus too much on the fear. I went out in a Foxbat as a passenger on Sunday. Seemed quite rough to me. I asked the pilot what rating on a scale 1 to 10 was the turbulence and he said 4. I would have said 7. Just shows that it's very subjective and once you get used to it it becomes a non-issue.

I know of a Jab and a Tecnam that had engine failures that never got a mention anywhere...
