    CASA has released the updated VFRG however I cannot locate a free download. Does any contributor know if there is a freebie or do you have to buy a hard copy from the CASA site? Thanks in advance.

    Ah, but the farmers here have bigger smiles. Swings and roundabouts.

    D Do you know who the person was in an aircraft similar to yours that was giving flying instruction from NRM during the weekend? They enjoyed the low traffic conditions.

    The "Phoenix" organisers unfortunately did not have a direct line to the weather gods. However the forums were wide ranging viz. CASA new instrument rules to the two Michaels from RAAus giving an update on where they are and what is foreseen. They took about 7 hours to fly from Canberra avoiding weather along the way. There was, as you would expect, a lot of organising in place to handle/guide an unknown number of aircraft. The award for patience must go to the Technam rep who stayed the full term. Many apologies were received from along the eastern side due to the weather. As expected the weather on Monday was good for flying. Currently (Tues) it is pouring. This event was not organised by theSAAA or the flying club, but a group of interested aviators.

    I too had my reg returned within a week. Excellent turn around.

    Narromine is having a sort of informal affair over Easter as well. Locals are organising it.

    I sat the test today after reading the study guide quickly. Straight forward but more concerned with documentation than what a spark plug colour will tell you. One of the questions is whether you retain your existing L1 status. You do without sitting the test, as long as you keep your RAAus membership up to date. Anyhow, easy as. Some semantic differences with the preferred answers but still ok. Do it for your knowledge base with respect to administration and legal responsibilities.

    Thanks bra83d, I should be there if the gods are kind. Sounds good.

    Hi posters, I believe there is a gathering for flyers at Narromine this Easter. Any word around the lines on this?

    A young person can be issued a pilot certificate or pilot licence years before a drivers licence

    Thanks, I am deliberating. Where are you keeping the a/c?

    What fuel tanks re fitted and what is the MTOW? Thanks

    I flew in the 80s from Royal Casey. From memory a 150 WXP was the noisiest one in Australia. Shut down because the council would not allow the flying school annual permit to be renewed.

    To FlyingV, sometimes the effectiveness of an iPad can be improved by shutting it down and rebooting. Seems to clear the detritus. Cheers

    The only ones I saw had acetone in them

    Thanks for your input folks. I have located a source east of Melbourne @$3.50 per litre. Have to buy 20 litres though so I will have a lifetimes supply to use in Polyfibre repairs. Plumbers primer with its dye would look funny with ivory Polytone paint finish over the top.

    Hi fellow flyers, I need to do some maintenance and need to source a small amount of MEK to work on Polyfiber finish. Anyone know a supplier in Melbourne apart from Aviaquip? Thanks

    If your angle to the stone is correct, the cutting edge is a straight line. If the drill is closer to perpendicular to the grinding face the edge will be concave. Too shallow an angle gives a convex rounded cutting edge. The back angle and pressure (feed) on the drill determines the cut.

    I am pleased for you Howard and hope it continues. I hope to enjoy the same with my flying in the future.

    Howard, gliders can and orbit whenever they like. I have seen them do so on downwind and base legs at Narromine in the not too distant past.

    I have been told that the callout fee for Avgas at Cobar is $110. EACH aircraft. Is this fact?
  23. tillmanr
    The RAA ops manual states that all aircraft have to be placarded with MTOW. I had to send photos of these in when registering last year.

    I have heard some scuttlebutt ref SAAA management. Anyone have the correct information?

    Thanks. Just what I needed and had in the back of my mind.
