Madge,Great piece of gear by the way .I got the mini Ipad with the works, and the 1 year OzRunways download today, after the 30 day trial.Getting oriented with the flight planning side now, and will try the lot out again in the next three days flying, up the coast to pay Farri a visit........Can't go wrong, Australia on the left, Pacific Ocean on the right !!..........Maj...Thanks for the post. Can you please give us an update on how you find it and all the features once you have used it for a week or 2?
I've been looking at the Mini too, but thought that the processing speed was equivalent to an iPad 2 and not the latest one, but I guess that is still fine if it is the case.
Carbon Cubs have a panel option for the large iPad but I'd like to try and fit 2 minis into one panel, one for engine instruments and the other for navigation, but flip-able if one dropped out.

REOr, as the "Funny" icon is right next to the "like" icon, it is entirely possible that a slip of the mouse was the issue and it appears you cannot undo the selection.Why do people always assume the worst of others?I don't think you are correct. Any "Like" that you give can readily be undone by clicking on the "Undo Like" wording that replaces the "Like" symbols after you have given one.

SA and Turbo did you speak to other board members? Or just the one that made the decisions? Do you not think board members also spoke to the Ex-President and were not satisfied? Is it possible you have only one side of the story?Wasn't it suggested we would be shut down weeks ago, hence the emergency? Are we shut down? Will it happen tomorrow? No.
These forums are sometimes incorrectly spooked by the doomsday prepers. You encourage members to get the facts themselves however I suspect you do not have them.
If we run the organisation correctly, comply with CASA requirements, follow the constitution we should be around forever. If we don't do the right thing we wont be!

You received the above serious and considered response from an existing Board Member and you rated it as "FUNNY"?
This very much devalues your contributions to this thread and shows your responses as trite & shallow, in my opinion.

Guilty as charged, sir, with 3 bikes in the shed & about to bugger off today for a ride with a few mates up in the mountains for lunch somewhere.
Road Raced for 10 years in the 70's, then 2-Day Enduros in the 80's on an IT400, and still do a few track days each year.

space and bars......The mining tax didn't seem to produce any income so perhaps a tax on alcohol sales in space can be relied upon to top up the treasury coffers........and besides now that Ive seen your "where the sun don't shine", and the mineral enriched tanami sands to be found there we might look to lease that out to one of the big 4.....Bull was impressed...."Ive heard that its difficult to get gold from sh!t, but if anyone can do it........."

And welcome back to you too Madge.I wish the board would find the middle ground !!...........ten members is wrong to start with...you need an uneven number to avoid an equal number stalemate...Ed as President (board captain) should also have a vote as he still is a board member, that deciding vote would keep things moving along...............Maj.....
You don't seem so bored any more.
As my old mum used to say "Only boring people get bored", so that certainly doesn't apply to you and it is good to see you back contributing meaningfully here.

It is perhaps interesting (and I hope not too boring for Ed's supporters) that as of this morning the vote on this poll was 50/50 and that is exactly what has been the Board vote on these matters.

A pretty weak argument Madge.Did you stick your hand up as a board member ??It is ridiculous for you to press the old chestnut that only those that stand for the Board are worthy to comment here and elsewhere. That was tried at the Feb 9th EGM too.
Equally as ridiculous as a President demanding a 70% approval in advance from an elected Board to give him carte blanche over coming months.
And if you, Keith and robinsm are bored with this thread, and with the President's latest requirement of his Board, then we should certainly stop discussing what is going on? What nonsense.
I had high hopes for Ed, but no matter how noble his intentions, such a requirement by he (and apparently supported by you) is not good governance and is not in the best interests of this member's organisation.
While you and a few others are bored, the fact is that you couldn't make up this crap as part of a story line in the NES, yet it is happening in our RAA.

I disagree Madge, as this is surely material to the issue being discussed here.Who gives a damn wether Myles was employed, unemployed or what....none of our business really.I have seen an email that I believe was from Myles where he claimed that he was making something like $130/hr in his present job and it gave the impression that he was making a substantial sacrifice in taking the RAA job, and being altruistic in the process.
Big difference if he was out of work & was part of the triumvirate that decided that he should be parachuted in to take a paid position with RAA without interviews or due process being followed.
The self-sacrifice line may have just been part of a pitch for a Life Membership down the track, but I do think that if normal and due process is being trampled, then the members should be able to be aware of the true position, whatever it may be.
I have seen emails from Myles that took a long time to decipher and I have more problem with his selection for this job than I do for Ed's sense of urgency in reacting to a personal request from the CASA to get this cracking.
A further development today is that I understand that Ed has now demanded absolute support on this issue and a 70% majority approval from the Board to do whatever he feels necessary in the future (although unspecified), or Ed will walk on Thursday. That's democracy & good governance at it's finest, and it looks to me like our esteemed leaders are out of control again.
