ORATEX http://www.wheelerswings.com.au/ in Melbourne - Brian Gooden. Building a beautiful Wooden Dakota Hawk right now.

Yes, and the Australian one will be even better differences! Why do we have to re-invent the wheel....

Confirmed that CASA Aircraft Register is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy behind in updating their VH register records shown online. I know of a transfer that took place months ago that has not shown up yet. Yes, they confirmed it was received, so nothing they can do about it. -
How many Hours did it take you to complete your RPL?

Talk of Sport Pilot Licence may be confusing to some new readers. There is no such thing, it doesn't exist. Authors are most likely referring to the RAAus Recreational Pilot Certificate - RPC, which is different to the CASA issued Recreational Pilot Licence - RPL used for VH registered aircraft. -
One-off Jabiru 1100 twin 40hp was running at Wagga in 2006. It never flew in the airframe that it was fitted to. (Shook like an angry mother!)

Falco. Next.......

Yes, Kestrel was at Narromine. Said old bloke would have been Peter Hodgens. Usually Lancair IV-P's it into Narromine.

Aircraft build and registration options
440032 replied to w3stie's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
You need to look at the Australian LSA rules TASMAG. US is a bit different, as is their generic use of "LSA" which can confuse things greatly here. If it's just a kit plane, and I think it is, not an LSA or E-LSA by Australian definition, then you could go RAAus or VH. VH if you want to do aerobatics. What if any licence do you currently have? RA, PPL, or both, or none? That will influence your direction quite a bit. -
Successfully nominated by a NSW Starlet owner, of course!

There is a low winged Jabiru 230 being built somewhere, Victoria I think.... with some fancy auto engine conversion.

Put all the theories aside, here's how you do it properly: https://www.supercub.org/forum/showthread.php?25435-How-To-Groundloop-Your-Taildragger

Some say I’m Very trying....

The N registration is shown in the reflection on the lower wing surface, but I can't read it!☹️

The New Zealand one (that I have right here) is Northstar Explorer F210. The fuel flow sender is a transducer. In the book, it says that they are not suited to EFI engines with a fuel return line to the tank. At the time I bought mine (2010) there was some talk that there was an aviation "special" version for avgas, and the other regular one for boats, cars, whatever. I queried that with the manufacturer. They laughed. "Fuel is fuel is fuel matie! It doesn't know what's going up the pipe!"

No, in that case he must display a VIC (Visitors Card) at all times. Only passengers proceeding to or from an aircraft are ok. The whole thing is a crock. We used to have suits coming through ATC land all the time with no ASIC, even friggen SANTA doing the rounds at Christmas, with no ASIC and in disguise. Out on the fire trucks, up in the tower, out on the tarmac. It's a joke. While that is allowed to continue unchecked, I aint playing. They can Juliet Alpha Mike it.

Aircraft propellers and spares at Moorabbin for aviation cables.
-
The brass look is cadmium plating - on steel. Aviation parts are suitable for aviation uses without question or concern. Marine parts - who knows. Having said that, one would imagine that there are some huge loads and forces on yacht rigging cables made from those marine grade items. Unless you can test load cable assemblies you make to some known figure and be satisfied, you're a test pilot. The dollar is not going to fluctuate enough any time soon to wait, if you need them, order them, and more things in the one box.

As the chief of QANTAS doesn't require an ASIC while on airside of an airport, neither do I.

As Turboplanner said correctly, SAAA are not (and never have been) a self administering sport aviation body (like RAAus, GFA etc), and so are not eligible to participate in Part 149. SAAA did not refuse to be Part 149, we were always lead to believe we would be eligible (if we wanted it), we participated in CASA briefings and so forth, with other organisations there as well, then the rug was pulled out from under us at the last minute. Hence the notification to members that SAAA has concluded Part 149 considerations. We are not even eligible. No point wasting one more minute on it. Good luck to the first organisation that jumps into the 149 bathtub from the seven meter platform. Many other groups will be watching and waiting to see how it goes.

Nice send-off for Mark at Ballarat today. Probably near 200 there. Good stories and lots of I didn't know he did that moments. Ping ponger, horse rider, scuba diver, photographer, writer, aviator, and lots more. It will be hard for magazines to find a replacement editor with so much enthusiasm.

Clearly a twin engine SU47 Cessna Saratoga. Or a KR2.
