...............extensive forests. You don't hear the city called The Melbourne any more. Not many people know that William Turbine and Jeremy Cook cleared The Melbourne, a forest at the time where drunks like Harley Track would hang out in tents along the river fishing by day. The first day wasn't a great success William and Jeremy started the D 9's and Jeremy drove one way and William. The result was two big holes, one at each end of the chain. By the third day they had lined up at Flinders St. (Matt was actually in town that day)and determinedly drove away from the river........................................

They have taken over. Turbo bored a hole in the bar, welded a pin on the load rack of the Land Cruiser, jammed the throttle wide open, and drove the Cruiser along the hedge. You can do anything with them.

.....escutcheon [avref]. Turbo remembered his first job as a draftsman. He had to draw an escutcheon. He'd never seen one before, and all he had were the measurements, so he started drawing and by a miracle the Chief Draftsman said he'd never seen one that good when it was finished. Problem was, it was upside down so Turbo had to draw it again. He saw a lot of escutcheons during his drafting time, but he never saw a black one. Perhaps ..........

Fatal crash at Scone, 16/10/26
turboplanner replied to Marty_d's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
We've had several discussions on investigations in the Forums - Incidents and Accidents. ATSB have explained why they don't investigate RA incidents or accidents except for a small number which they select, and you'll find those discussions and any RA investigations there. In the RA Inc. days we had some skilled officials who would fly to the scene and usually get enough detail to make a clear determination. They were able to get help from ATSB. The reports appeared regularly in the magazine. Back around 2010 if you wanted to look at trends or incidents of things like engine failure the RAA public information was very helpful and in most respects up to the same standard of GA reports on similar incidents. The Incident and Accident Forum here combines reports, and is still good basic material. -
.......decided to build a rally car and take on Bull in the Tasmanian BullPrawn Rally. He was busy at the time, so he flew the Challenger across and Bull took it for showing off, so he made every excuse to avoid showing Turbo the car. Everyone knows rally drives are crazy, so it's important to note the removal of throttle plates, different gearing, wider wheels, under-the dash nitromethane pumps etc. Bull managed to keep the car hidden all day and Turbo flew back none the wiser. On the first day of the rally, Turbo couldn't stop his car turning left; he couldn't work out ........................

BAK: a stall is related to the angle of attack. The aircraft will fly up to about 15 degrees angle of attack when it starts giving you messages. In the circuit you'll be making Rate 1 turns (30 degrees bank) and the aircraft will turn smoothly on to the new heading. If you decide to fly to the limit and make a Rate 2 turn (60 degrees and max for Rec Flying) the centreline if the aircraft is at 60 degrees, and [if you imagine, when the aircraft is on the ground there's a long steel rod through the canopy and hanging down below the aircraft with a big 2g weight ball hanging on the end] that big ball is pulling the aircraft outwards at 2 g, if you keep turning the angle of attack is now around 15 degrees - close to stall. If you pull in tighter at that throttle setting, you'll exceed 15 degrees and the nose will drop. The most common areas for this to happen are when you overshoot the turn onto final, then pull the stick back to get there, and when your passenger pushes you for a better position to take photos. Reinforcing that, if you observe the stick position at the stall, its always back in the same spot, pulling the elevators up fore more angle of attack.

I take it you don't fly because everyone knows the what the VFRG is for. Skippy can contact Airservices, who may already have a solution; there are plenty of complications in other cities like this with two major Airports in Melbourne against against each other plus a Light Aircraft Lane. They may revert everyone to Controlled Airspace and manage all aircraft, or they may Control two and leave three to work with each other. Or some of the five may be making unnecessary calls. Airservices will sort it out.
