  1. I have flown into La Paz in Bolivia,13300ft high, but not up front. Amazingly fast touchdown and big braking. My Kitfox would have a nosebleed trying to get that high.
  2. Opening ok for me on an old iPad.
  3. Check the landing fees at Wagga.
  4. Another large thank you to Don for his work on the board as well as the significant input into this thread. I hope you intend to just take a breather then return to contribute widely Don.
  5. On the proxy form there is no indication as to a tick or a cross being required. Can you clarify which is needed or is mandatory. Will the vote be considered for the blank box if I use a cross?
  6. Area code 064 is south coast NSW
  7. ABC just in reporting that a Californian in a parked car has been hit by an aircraft attempting to land on a motorway. Experimental/kit I think but I will allow others to name the type.
  8. Tell us what you really think Mike.
  9. Yes, a response from RAA, brief but a response that is better than silence.
  10. Power to you Russ. Living the dream despite the knockers.
  11. CFA app has accident/rescue safe. Hope this is the case
  12. http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Plane-Parachutes-to-Safe-Crash-Landing-on-Long-Island-371162171.html
  13. Another Cirrus testing out parachutes. http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Plane-Parachutes-to-Safe-Crash-Landing-on-Long-Island-371162171.html
  14. Don, my impetus was not that a board member should act contrary to the benefit of the association but be aware of the thoughts and wishes of members. I feel that the administration is busy with day to day running of the show not collecting thoughts and feelings of the membership. That is the role of our elected board in my opinion. I could be wrong.
  15. Don I believe that the association has board members to represent voting members. These board members are elected on a regional basis, I assume to have a voice for the members in those regions. If I cannot approach my regional representative of the board we might as well have no regional basis to the board elections but only a universal (nation wide) election to the board. Am I right or wrong?
  16. Thanks for your suggestions,. I have a cheapie on order and will report back on its usefulness
  17. I haven't received it and won,t be available for a month to do so It is the 4 cutter jobbie I am after.
  18. My latest and easiest but possibly risky is an exhaust cutter from ebay.
  19. Thanks, I have tried to contact him.
  20. I have been chasing the the correct item when in the USA but they appear to be a mythical tool. I have been to maybe a dozen auto supplies and once we overcome my accent they are then unable to find one in their catalogues. I see them referred to by high performance auto engine types but no easy retail source in USA or Aus.
  21. The folded edge/rim is too big for any I have. I am open to suggestions for a brand.
  22. I am interested in checking the innards of my oil filter. Does anyone on the forum know where to buy an oil filter cutter in Aus. They can be purchased online from the USA but that seems quite expensive.
  23. Stopover Narromine is a good idea. Motel is at the aerodrome. Best to call ahead and book. They are flyers and understand if you are delayed arriving or leaving. Start very early.
