  1. I question the relevance of the image number 2 in the report which is a Cessna.
  2. Generally now sports teams do pay for the use of council grounds. Most boat ramps I am aware of you do pay launching fees.
  3. The F35 was touted by many as being able to replace the aA10 even as recently as two years ago. At that time the A10 was scheduled for retirement due to the wing service life reaching expiration.
  4. I don’t see how this aircraft can be replaced by the F35. Replacement of the wings should give it a good service future.
  5. Sounds a bit like stall training? I haven’t flown a thruster in maybe 20 years so I am probably wrong.
  6. The ABC online reporting that a Piper Tomahawk has encountered the terrain. Pilot appears to be ok.
  7. Sorry David, I see it in a number of places now. Wonder who,s eyes I was using the first read.

      Hi  It Does 31st March Big in Red at the top of the page, Just checked myself Just in case I had stuffed up. Cheers David  [ATTACH]38676[/ATTACH]
  9. Interestingly to fly into Avalon airshow RAA aircraft have to have TSO’d instruments but not TSOd radios.
  10. I might visit onWednesday
  11. When first test flown the engines rotated in the opposite direction to that currently used, which destroyed most of the lift over the wings. Changing rotation (swappingsides) overcame this.
  12. Can I assume that this is South African news?
  13. I have the option of a panel mount or circular so I am open minded at the moment. Also, thanks for your responses and keep them coming.
  14. Hi, these prices are in USD aren’t they? about $AU 2000 at a guess
  15. Hi fellow wing nuts, I am looking to replace my aircraft radio with a modern small non-TSO'd unit with priority selection. I would appreciate feedback on your experiences with the radios available as well as a tech to install one in Victoria. Thanks
  16. I saw a twin Jabiru under development at Bundaberg a couple of years ago. I don’t know what this progressed to.
  17. ABC and other news reporting CVR found
  18. A great report thank you dppintr. Clear skies.
  19. Bruce T, Victoria does not have annual RWC inspections. Only on transferring ownership.
  20. I visited Frogs Hollow yesterday (on four wheels) while visiting relatives nearby. What a wonderful and peaceful setting. I am not against developers per se but this is quiet rural land with no nearby commercial/residential development. A massive change would be necessary if the Chinese proposal was granted. Apart from the imposition on the locals of the proposal, the benefits would probably be few as historically it would be built by Chinese, staffed by Chinese except for flying instructors, catered by Chinese and accomodation staffed by Chinese. I am not against Chinese trading in Australia but it should be within currently operating larger airfields.
  21. We need to again thank you and your team
  22. My option is to go back to Recreational Flying. You may consider adding “& Aircraft”. This gives us Recreational Flying & Aircraft. It is a bit more inclusive if that is desired. Cheers all
  23. Clear skies for the update Ian
  24. Maybe 4 or 5 years ago I volunteered to spend a week in Canberra at my expense to assist in any way they needed. I am still waiting for a reply.
  25. Hi fellow wingnuts, does anyone know of hangarage available near Melbourne? Thanks in advance.
