Words fail me.Hold the champagne guys, it may be that these decisions are invalid.

If that is the case, then at a future General Meeting where controversial issues which affect people may be discussed, then, in my opinion, the decisions could be legally challenged and overturned.

 

I'm not suggesting this was a deliberate strategy; instead, with such a critical decision you'd have to wonder why the people in the room didn't call for a point of order, and ensure that only members were voting.

Surely those motions that went through on the proxy numbers alone would be OK?

And IF, repeat IF, you are correct on the validity of these decisions, it should not be sheeted home to the "people in the room".

IF you are right, instead it would be a demonstrable and critical (and another) failure of good governance by those at the top or employed by the organiization to administer this meeting.

Perhaps this meeting will be grounded on Monday (but nobody will be told).

Here's a fresh copy downloaded from the Rotax site last week Gnomester. The fuel specs are toward the end of the document.

But even your attachment appears to sell a mixed message in response to my original question.

Part seems to indicate that Avgas is Ok for prolonged periods if you change the oil each 10 - 12 hours, while later it seems to indicate that Avgas is only acceptable if shortish percentages (30% of the time or a bit more).

Perhaps if you really HAVE to, Avgas is OK but then dose it up with the additive that they, and Tecsar, have mentioned ............. and up the oil change frequency as well.

If that is the conclusion then it is manageable, I guess.

"Ooooooh, rook whose a bit titchy this week" replied Nobu, who seemed to be a bit too close to Achhhhhchmed for the comfort of some in the NES.

From the amount of noise denigrating RAAus on this forum,

I may have missed some threads to which you are referring, but I see it differently to your above in the threads that I posted to on some of these issues.

I believe that some of us have been vocally concerned about what appears to be issues of management & governance at the top of the organisation, at the Executive and at the Board level.

I don't in any way see that as "denigration", I see it as concerned members who believe that the RAAus could do it better, and more-so, suggesting or demanding how that might be achieved.

I see that as constructive, not destructive, and healthy for the organisation. A prime example is the Constitutional Changes that were approved today.

"Geeez Acki, we're rucky that these warries are concenlating on the poor Scots, and no ronger giving us glief." said Nobu.

"Independance for Scotland" said the GPS.

just use avgas till you get back home.

I don't find it all that attractive to have to spend time at each refueling stop to traipse into town, nor to call up favours from the local servo each time you land.

So if you had no room to carry a Jerry Can would you be prepared to use AvGas in a 912 or 914 for a long fly-away trip ........... say 30 - 50 hours of flying without giving it a gulp of PULP?

But things worstened when he realised that the dirk she was referring to are a tiny little knife the size of small fingernail scissors, of tiny dimmensions and of particularly small diameter.

G'day All,

Where do you source fuel and what arrangements do you make to get fuel easily if you have a 912 or 914 on a long cross-country and therefore need ULP or PULP?

"Erection!..you call rat erection. You must come to Cowla and see our erection. It even better than RAA. If we no rike candidate, we ship em off to New Guinea" shouted Nobu in a scottish accent (which noone understood, except for TMO who has been to NG)

"What ladies?" snapped the Rat, and that's when...

.... the Inverrrness CWA sheilas (some with pen-pals in goode olde Bange it Holme), lassies, cougars & tigers came into the auditorium following a chug-a-lug competition at the bar.

They were well known for their aggressive & predatory behaviour, which even put to shame the Coffs CWA incident and that legendary encounter with Andy Sat and his brown snake).

"Show us your tail" they demanded in unison, expecting to scare our brave Rodent (the hero of the NES), but he stood erect and ................

"How would I know" responded McCoughupandy agressively, and the two took to each other with cabers

 

"Stop that" yelled McLockart, but in his haste he'd stepped on the Haggis.

 

The room went deathly quiet, then.......
