.....and went out and bought Lexus Fs for the 5 litre V8 engine thinking it would roar like a Bathurst Toyota Supra. The Nascar Toyota Camrys are using 5.9 litre Toyota V8s and achieving 313 km/hr lap speeds. If anyone thought Soichiro Honda was driven, they haven't seen Nobushi Toyoda. It was watching Bathurst and thinking how GM will react to the V8 Toyota Pace Car, that Turbo remembered that Mark Reuss, President of GM crashed an Engineering Corvette worth $3 million, while leading the cars around for the start of Detroit Grand prix in 2018. Then, naturally, his mind drifted on to how we could run a Rec Fly Bathurst with a maximum 100 aircraft, limited fuel tanks so they would have to be landed in pit straight, judged on correct radio calls, and subjected to a CASA Ramp Check every time they left the pits. The CASA guys would wear pink fire suits just to get them snarly. Flying height would be beat up height of 10 ft AGL all round the track. There would have to be some other rules, but .......................

It's interesting that you didn't think to move on from that point scoring, post the BAK information and address the subject matter on how stalls are related to angle of attack, and what causes one of the most common killers in circuits.

..........but that's all anyone heard as the small block with direct cut gears howled (see video of Turbo's recent Lake work (he took a wrong turn just as it finished and ended up in someone's front garden but we don't need to dwell on that) and ................ https://www.facebook.com/reel/1893301417925180

Well there we go.

Hi, I'm Brad and I fly a Facet Opal from Holbrook and the Fords have got more cracks than Cappy's old J230. There was a moment of silence, because as we know, it doesn't pay to backchat the Little Genius. And then one of the faithful chirped up with "God made sh!t; Ford gave it wheels, and it was on ...................................

Ok the people who didn't know it existed will be able to find it, problem fixed.

1. What I said about correctly using the site heading makes it much faster to do the research. 2. BAK is a specific module. If you want to be constructive, please let us know where to find the BAK module in within the Recreational Aviation Australia structure.

Two things here: 1. If this is a Skyranger site only this website is a comprehensive one with sections for each Aircraft. In terms of safety, what works for one aircraft does not always apply to others, and in some cases what is safe in one does not apply to others. Apart from that, discussions of aircraft in their category make comments a lot easier to find because they're self-sorted. The same goes for the endless comments on self-builds in the General section of the site. It's usually clear by the questions that the person hasn't been to one of the subsections. 2. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe Recreational Aviation Australia teaches BAK so facthunter's stunned comments should be a warning to recreational flyers that the principles of flight are there to bite you is you think you can get away without studying the CASA Modules. You get a Certificate for a simpler ability to fly under very specific exemptions, but flying safely in CASA or Airservices air space is not one of the. CASA has just mentioned his concern about Head Winds. My concern is about Angle of Attack. I know big flying schools with hundreds of students and 20 or so different makes and models of aircraft, sometimes print notes on the aircraft with "speeds" and instruments may also carry the same sort of rough reference, but there are places where having that non-complete information in your head will get you killed in the circuit area or bad weather where you're forced down to lower levels. From BAK, we know that stalls relate to angle of attack, not speed. When you are flying straight and level a stall occurs at speed A When you are making a Rate 1 turn in the circuit, a stall occurs at speed B. If you miss your circuit turn point and pull your aircraft into a Rate 2 turn a stall occurs at speed C. In each case your actions have caused a change in the aircraft's angle of attack. In the above intervals, the stick will be further back each time as the G Forces increase. If you haven't studied and passed the BAK module, I'd recommend doing it before you next fly so you know what the angle of attack is likely to be, and how to ensure the aircraft doesn't exceed the stall angle.

....the competition is distracted at every street corner. Turbo had received a call from The Tower in Detroit to make sure GM won, and it was Turbo who gave that order to conserve fuel "in case something happened", but the little prick kept his foot flat nd then Dick hired a dude from Logan to drive one of the Pace Cars onto the track until the Fords caught up and the ex driver ran out of gas. Turbo has lodged a protest for too many brake replacements against the Ford Mustangs which will be heard before the next race, so GM should be OK for the season result, and if not ...................................

....weekender. Living the Dream. It being Bathurst Day, Turbo's note is short. The ******* Mustang is short too with a broken camshaft just as it produced enough power to win Bathurst, so the transporter had to be put away for another year. That's 10 in a row where something went wrong at the last minute, but who .................................

.......Andy paid, and you don't see that very often. He then proceeded to tell us that a new group was forming called SAFA, (today with 3,500 members). This was their promo; "Take in a bird’s-eye view of the world, soaring with the clouds, carried high, far and wide on warm air currents, with the world laid out before you. Experience the freedom and exhilaration of being airborne, chasing clouds as you’re carried high on the wind like a bird." The emphasis was on clouds, and Andy had a fascination with them, and we haven't heard from him since, but now and again...................

............making crazy decisions. Turbine walked away, and they had no one to belittle and blame, so they blamed each other. Who can forget, at the AGM where a team of dissidents descended on Canberra to "sort things out" The ring leader put his hand up to make the key speech, and as soon as the President had pointed to him turned around and said "Here's your chance Andy, give it to 'em!" It has to be said that Andy, was single axis, but with all that axis throws at a pilot including the rocking horse fall from the sky poor old Andy wasn't prepared for this, and we never saw him again until one day he confided in .....................

Cappy's information about recharging appliances will bring back memories for those who flew up to the Murdock's BNS ball a few years ago. Seventeen flew up from Victoria and landed in formation in the Murdoch's vast bull paddock. This upset old Dad; as far as he was concerned the paddock was for bulls (not bull's, not bull's). Twenty five flew in from all over NSW, but they, of course never talk to each other, so the bulls had had enough by the time the last Thruster came over the fence. Then six South Australians came in, complaining about the surface. The BBQ was on six big trees Johnny Murdoch had dozed together, the facilities were on the left and right billabong depressions. And they were eating wild goat meat for the night. As usual for the BNS everyone was flaked out over the grass by the time the band, up from the City packed it in and went home. What most visitors didn't know was that out here, close to the outback a heavy dew occurred every night. By the early hours of the morning, the ground was soaking wet, and so were all the sleepers. That's when old Dad walked across from the homestead, took the live wire off the fence, and laid it in the grass ********************************

upset about ................

..........[words to the effect that] "Margaret was friends with every one of the local FIFOS." This triggered a fist fight among the Committee and the SO AUF Committee Member resigned by laying the President out. The details of what happened next produced so many posts on this website, that it was becoming a sort of "Hansard" of Recreational Aviation. NES writers find a wealth of material by digging into those archives. We can't identify anyone of course, and we can't............... Update from this year's Deni Ute Muster: It rained continually, and the Soft Top judge said "It was hard to pick a winner with mud all over the entries, so he had to hose a few down to get a better look. The circle work pans covered the Utes, no one missed the one BYD Tasman at the event and it was dozed through the fence into a Canola paddock next door and stayed there for the rest of the Muster.

Who are you responding to?

Not many people in Wagga Wagga would remember "Slim" as he was known then. He was Purchasing Officer then, when the Brigade had seven admins and two fairies. Ahlocks probably wouldn't want us to let this out but prior to the Wagga Wagga Fire Brigade Royal Commission, Wagga's roads weren't the best and the old Federal went through tyres like you wouldn't believe. Dunlop made the best tyres; you can see one of them in the photo. Tyres had become known as "Dunlops" in those days. Dunlop also made condoms, so of course they also, became known as Dunlops; Get me? Ahlocks put in an order for the year's supply of tyres as 72 Dunlops. A few weeks later, the postie, Arthur Cook came in to the station with a carton, clearly from Dunlop Australia, sniggering at Ahlocks. The story was around Wagga for years.

...........the Country Advisor to the National Party. Most people don't know what the National Party is, but it used to be the Country Party, highly respected by people in the City, because it had a nasty side and would stop giving them butter, jumpers, and steaks if they started getting above themselves. Then we started eating chicken meat from Ho Chi Min City, milk and cheese from Argentina, prawns from the Mekong Delta, and lettuce from Guinea Bisseau. So the Country Party came to town and bought Coles and Woollies, K Mart and Target and clothed everyone in cotton T shirts, Cotton Jackets, and cotton jeans. The quality was so bad that the knees wore out in the jeans within six months. Some people might remember the Turbine Marketing genius move to release jeans with the holes already in the jeans which stopped the Latte stigma of "Eau, your jeans have a slight hole in them" to the normal Country "Eau, do we KNOW you?" The CP was riding high, but these changes meant that country people had nothing to do except shoot rabbits up at Darraweit Guim, Camperdown, Lucindale or Wandook, although the Deniliquin Ute Muster now fed the town handsomely where the Chariot Race each year brought in $30 million. The NES hesitates to let the Deni story out of the bag in case the Deni Wallopers do another raid, but it should be safe with our NES readers. The Chariot race involves topless blondes standing on the roof of the Utes, steadied by two ropes down to the Bull Bar. The marketing genius from Turbine Marketing Corporation sent Denu Ute Musters into the stratosphere, when they hires CT Roads Ltd to build potholes into the course. People started flying their El Caminos, Silverados and Jimmys in from the US just so they could be a part of it, and another sixty thousand acres had to be cleared for attendees to do their "Circle Work" and hold the 6 BNS's, but we digress. Not all the country was as resourceful as this. RAA Inc was heading in the right direction at Narromine with aerial photos needed to take a photo of the vast array, but a self-opinionated committee member crapped on Margaret, who was the organising genius, and it never recovered...............

........horse stall. "Rambo" had never been ridden to the 8 second mark, and when it saw Bull coming with his fiery tail, he thought Bull had a new and painful weapon, so he put on a show of kicking, spitting and biting when Bull got on him in the stall but he decided he would be careful before jumping out. Then someone threw a bucket of water which put out the fire and Rambo was out of that chute like Turbo on pay night. He kicked, he clawed, he bit, but Bull had his knees in so tight it was like the Berrigan BnS ball...........................

........bull and if it didn't cauterize it could still give him a bad case of the irrits, and it was best not to try to hand him a bunch of carrots. If you've ever seen a lit up bull you know how hard and fast they run. On the Queensland Rodeo and campdrafting (Turbo used to go to all of them for the chicks) Meetings back in about 2017 they lit up a bull and it went straight through the CWA tent and ................

......still didn't have a dime to play the jukebox, Cappy started slipping down that path to depression where people look back on themselves as mere mortals, and remember their mother saying to visitors "he's good with his hands", and remembered Motz, who grew a beard to cover up his embarrassment as he trained some of the best Recreational Flyers in history, flitting in and out of CTA legally, skilfull enough to know how. Skilfull enough to be a "Flying" at the Royal Flying Doctor service where he had to land anywhere and did, thanks to his RA skills. Then his move to VIP Charter where he only flew the best. He would have flown Elvis but for a hamburger. Then staring through the glass of his toy telescope, so powerful that he could see galaxies far far away looking for his ancestors the Jedi. And Loxy, that genius who when Turbo was called to Wagga Wagga on a CIA matter, entertained him at Cappy's place (Cappy was away appearing in Court for something he'd done somewhere.), Now providing magnificent community support as a Genereal in the Fair/Fiar Service and Deputy Mayor of Wagga Wagga City. His ancestors were Jedi Knights from the Eagle Galaxy, which Motz showed to Turbo one night. Who can forget (Turbo will have his name in a moment). Ah that's right, Isaac, that ball of fire who digitised the full stop with FFS!. He flies an Auster, some do. His ancestry produced the Jedi Knights of the Hot Galaxy, very few people know about that one, but Motz has seen beings with the powerful ditital telescope. Tomo, who bought a Commanche because its registration was sexy, originates from the Queensland galaxy (Jedi Warriors, but odd), but Cappy, despite the exotic adventures of his ancestor Captain James, was only from the judt mere mortal galax. In this galaxy, it was said, you could spit on the floor and curse, and ........................
