  1. Bit like the minis full of gold in the original Italian job move, the floor pans would have been dragging on the floor.
  2. I got lost a long time ago reading itand just haven’t looked at it again,some interesting contributions from members we have lost over the years.
  3. I hope they fix it, they are the most beautiful machine
  4. The sad thing is, the thieves must have a use for this stuff and that makes them right sh!ts in my mind. Stealing from a fellow aviator, whether they are using it or not.
  5. Dog fighting would be fun with these.
  6. Show about wreckage Search is going to be on Discovery channel soon.
  7. According to beyond 200o, we should all be living like the jetsons by now. i don’t think this will get of the ground literally.
  8. Tinnie that was, dont know what spell check was on about
  9. Graceful looking too when you study them, I sit and watch the pelicans from my Minnie and amazed at their size and gracefulness when landing or skimming the water.
  10. I spotted a highwing pusher flying over my workshop at Macksville on Friday morning. if anyone knows who flies in this area could they pm me. I would like to catch up with others around the area to find out where to fly RAaus aircraft from in the vicinity. I have my Rans S14 registered and need to get my bushbaby in the air. Cheers Clinton

  11. The vis looks pretty good from that view.
  12. Are the holds pressurised like the cabin? wouldn’t they be freezing cold also if not using AC in the baggage areas.
  13. You never forget that sound, even on the iPad speaker.
  14. Sadly a bit of young person cowboy action happening-from the report info,They think they are indestructible at that age. Same in cars.
  15. Regardless of what happened, we have lost 2 aviators. Just like motor cars, zero fatalities is not an option, because shit happens. hopefully something comes out of findings that may help someone else make a decision. i am sitting at a cross road. 2 aeroplanes and a decision do I want to fly again or take up a less risky hobby.
  16. Rich peoples stuff when I was doing rc. spring starter 0.049 was brilliant for finger chops. Stupid me stuck fingers through prop to take glo lead off one time. About 15 good nicks that bleed like a bar stare when I bent them to look.
  17. Couldn’t ask for a flatter site to have an event. walking away is always a good outcome.
  18. Ground fires from impact look pretty severe. Was it working time when it hit the industrial area. A lot of buildings seem damaged.

    Rans S14

    I’m getting there. 15kg gone, and still having a beer or wine. Just eating home cooked meals based on csiro diet recipes. might get airborne myself yet.
  20. A thorough brief needs to be part of pre takeoff if you have that kind of safety gear it would be beneficial if your pax knows how it works if poo hits the fan. it might have changed the outcome for the better.
  21. 7 news reporting aircraft dropped from 24000m to 560m rapidly. Even if they stuffed up the measurements in feet, FL 24 is a bit high. Also reported final velocity 190kmh, doesn’t a cirrus travel around 120 knots plus normally. My old C182 did 120 in cruise. sometimes a bit more research before reporting would be better. sad outcome all round regardless.
  22. I did it in a sportstar once, sounded distant and tower could only hear me from other headset mike. ok once i worked out what happened. they are behind the seats also.
  23. Does anyone know anything about a missing plane in the snowy area. News is vague about type other than 1 POB. below freezing there , even if it’s a forced landing, it will be hard surviving.
  24. nanna could knit pure wool ones, i believe wool fibre is a bit fire resistant. wouldn't look to baaaad either
