storchy neil

what some are saying that bloody prop only stops 3000 or 4000 ft that prop tells you that I am going to stop bullxxx it can and will stop at anytime get with the real world

twice it has been done to me bloody good lesson once on late final teaches you to stay within glide distance off field and once at 3000 ft get on that strip below is all he said neil

get one or four rec flying iron on stickers I think ian still has them neil

Beers on Don

don if you think I'm going to waste time poring a beer over you sooner drink it neil

inspiring power full watched the bloody thing four times got the message first time neil

yep man if you said no I would have wanting to know why

bert flood RIP mate and I had many a discussions on this very issue it was bert who inform me that rotax required a return line to tank well before year 2000 to reduce the chances off vaporization and flooding of carby and pressure relief on needle and seat

the reason why bert and I had these discussions was that at 100 hrs I had one new needle and seat replaced at 130 hrs 2nd new needle and seat replaced

when I found that that there was no return line to tank and informed bert his reply to me was " why not" yet the repair manual clearly shows that return line should have been there

it was the maj RIP mate who I also discussed very this issue at temora of not conforming with installation manual it was maj who got me to do the the test that I did about the amount off heat generated by some pumps that do not have pressure relief and heat generated by them is great neil

POH on some aircraft stipulate how the management of fuel is to be done so hoping that I would shoot my self in foot wont wash

POH start up on some aircraft select right hand tank as excess fuel from return line returns to right hand tank after 30 minutes of flight of turn on left tank

called fuel management

sdqdi does your aircraft have return line to tank neil

to be done with caution and fire extin handy

get electric fuel pump set up as static display well away from aircraft or other combustable material run into a carby with no escape for excess fuel and you will find that the pump will heat up very quickly causeing fuel vaporization turn on escape line for excess fuel and the heat from electric pump drops greatly

this is why rotax have a return line to fuel tank neil

now hold the bloody boat sounds like 2010 meeting and raa when the office 2005 was a stack of files that went missing they were there but cant be found

both don and ian I respect as they and others I included want an organization that could be a force to be an influence against the regulator

with out change you might as well try to piss on the bloody moon

as I have stated I am concerned about the way it was done

lets see what the change over gives us as I see it you have no raa if 9000 walk away be cause of 3 or 5 or 7 persons that way nobody wins neil

oh dear that old story lost the paper work that story has bloody well run its course with me to

approached by 2 raaus reps at the last meeting to write a letter about my problem with what is wrong since my first encounter with raaus re my aircraft in 11/2008 to 5/2016 yes bloody eight years

only this time they approached me with a man who in my opinion one who has great knowledge of legal requirments I would not like to frount him in court un less my case was 100% facts

this will be the third time that I will have sent paper work

kasper are there any safty isues involved in your case as in my case there were that would have led to an accident opinions of well known l2

neil

thanks why I question you is so as the ones that have followed get a better understanding what rules and regs need clarification and why neil

I admit I am slow as I see it you have a design that can be changed in three ways in a mater of minutes so that makes three separate aircraft

three separate weight and balance

three separate air craft

5 different wings

five separate weigh and balance neil

One would assume that 128 people are not. Hopefully they like me will accept the majority decision and see what happens.

I can say for definite that two of that 128 will be watching very carefully and stated 12 months for positive progress

don being the man he is I feel that it will improve or he will pull it apart with a little bit of help after the amount of attention that he has received

bruce as I see it the members neil

yes ian I totally agree I remember that it aint easy to forget the shit crap and corruption that you and your family went through but you stuck with with what you believed in

thank you for not shuting down this site as I know for a fact nearly did happened

yes ian small positive steps towards gaining trust neil

Board could never again operate in contempt of the Constitution as happened in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. don with me personally it started in 2009 and continued

so I personally thank you and others that no one else will have to go through what I personally have endured over the last 6 years

some have run off at the mouth with no proof or facts to back them up why have I not been hauled off to court for what I have written about certain things ? neil

so some have just woken up to the facts that raa is in a lot of shit whoopy dooo tried to tell you that since 2009 but have not been listen to but that is not one persons fault it is the members off the organization who let the administration get away with it cant be bothered with politics just want to fly me air craft well you wont be able to if

unless you have walked in my shoes you have no clue what I personal went through because off the miss management off our association

notice I use the word our association you and I have to sell it to keep it at a profesional level if we don't then it will fall in a heap

at the moment we are operating under two sets of bloody rules cassa and raa lets get this organization up to a professional standard that we can have our own rules and regulation now way can it happen if you and I are not prepared to cop a lot flack as I see it nobody is lying or miss leading anyone just their thoughts on the subject

this is a forum that has discussed many issues good bad and bloody ridiculous opinions is what is needed so that we can improve

a casa audit is proof that we as a organization need more dilegance to the running off the whole show not by one or ten I mean the 9500 members

neil

I was sceptical

now what about the 6000 or so that did not vote are they just not interested in the organization moving on or was it good the way it was

since 2010 I have said that we as members need to stand up and take notice off the crap and corruption and cover ups that was going on with the old way every thing were done

I now have a gut feeling that more positive communication is going to happen so if it don't the shit will hit the fan but it will only happen when we the members take more interest in our organization

now lets get on with taking small positive steps the will lead us to what members want from our organization and it wont happen if its left up to a couple or seven there are over 9000 that need to step up

thank you don for putting so mutch time and energy into trying to convince sceptics like me but I feel that I had good reason to go the way I did (you know part off that story )

neil

what you blokes are describing was discussed here by maj RIPmate and others some time ago that is the reason that I do a maggi check every time I shut down and use only one maggi on shut down

sorry lyndon put drip trays on as geof said don't want fuel on exhaust run venting tubes to air box on clean air side neil

(1) do the members (12000 at that time ) need a new constitution yes was the answer

members to form a comity to put this into look at the best way to do this answer was yes thank you to those that did this

(2) do the members (12000 ) need a new workable structure to bring raa to a progresive and updated regulations not some thing 20 years old and out of date and no accountability the answer yes

members to form a comity to implement the way off the best practice for the members

(3) members charter to be part of constitution

at that meeting it was advised the comity had an enormous task a head off them and to inform members and to take members concerns on board

with what happened at the start of that meeting and the crap and corruption was a complete shambles

in defence off don he has stated that what he is writing is not as a board member he has made that clear

don was rely keen to fix the bloody problems that some could not see when it was staring them in the face

an opinion is what you assume to be write or wrong walk in their shoes neil

sorry lyndon put drip trays on and put vent tubes to air box the drip trays are there to catch fuel if at some time you have a leakage at the carby don't want fuel going to hot exhaust neil

col must be hidden under other expenses or hoping no one asked neil

if you are putting air box on run venting lines to air box

no air box definatly instal drip trays trays

lyndon are you going to put air box on 912 neil

questions ?

can you land a GA aircraft any where that is not an ALA ?

can you land a raa registered aircraft any where as long as it safe to do so ? neil

Hehehe, I'm a new pilot and don't know anyone I can proxy through.... ah well, I guess I won't be voting, I might go flying instead

nightmare I am not having a go at you personal as I think that is a wined up but when we as an organization lose every thing that we have fought for through apathy and not been diligent in the way that the organization should be run

when you lose an what you had through idiots abuseing their power and asumeing they know whats best your vote may have let you continue flying neil
