C'mon Tomo,That's not the way we gentleman of the forums behave

I did volunteer to eat his burger so it wouldn't go cold... but...

Thanks, what's Coax?

Actually it's called Coaxial cable because it consists of two concentric conductors separated by an insulator.

...use our box brownies...." said an excited EmCeeplaney

As the title says, Happy Birthday Cam... you can now sign that log book and get it sent away....:thumb_up:

"Now that Cameron is seventeen

and all the members will celebrate...

Only because Cam, is part of the team.

So be sure to come and elaborate.....

:big_grin:

Walter: If you can email them to me, I can post them for you. My email is tomo @ recreationaflying dot com dot au.

Obviously time I looked the old box Brownie out of the drawer (popular camera from the 18, I mean 1950's)

Good one! :thumb_up:

What does RAAus teach?

Though that gives you issues if they are trying to contact you. And you can only monitor one freq at one time.

I've scrubbed a far bit off a C182 once... but I honestly couldn't tell you what we used, it was green, and we let it soak over night raped up in plastic to keep it moist. I think it was some sort of paint stripper. That gets the paint off, then you have to polish the Alloy with something else.

Gee's I'm not much help am I?!

The sp6's I saw at Temora were stunning to watch climb out...! the angle was amazing...

121.5 is an international known distress frequency I believe. It would still work, but if you have something more reliable and within your area, you may as well use that instead. ATC doesn't monitor 121.5 I don't think.

Ps. Good point Merv!

G'day Bill,

When you are doing your x-country-ing it's good to monitor the area frequency, or have it in your radio for a quick flick to priority position in case you need it.

It is marked on the VTC/VNC's, but I often use the ERSA and just look at what is the Centre frequency for a particular field I could be passing. It will also tell you where you need to be to get a transmission across. Like Dalby can work on the ground on 121.2, Toowoomba you have to be up at least 500ft from the ground to get it to work. And Tooraweenah for example you need to be 4000ft up to make it work - and on 127.1. Still for Brisbane center. Some others just say in circuit area.

The reason they tell you that, is for canceling SAR times, you can cancel your SAR time by radio, and once you are in the circuit area, some quickly do it then. A need to do thing if you haven't got phone coverage in that area. And sometimes it won't work on the ground, as stated above.

Hope I'm on the right track. :big_grin:

Planey, those that make no mistakes, are the same ones that do nothing........

"I just read a down-to-earth story."

"What was it about?"

"A parachute jumper."

or do some people actually get 100knots clean from their Jabs?

Congratulations guys :thumb_up:

I thought I was wrong once, but It was just a mistake.

....."In silence I am, and In silence I remain...."

The statement caught The Rat off guard so much he tripped over his own thought....

Doesn't matter much Wags, it's an amazing video... I would love to see the whole doco though!

( I tried to attch a picture from my Savvy but my skills are left wanting )

G'day Con, great to hear from you. :thumb_up: Welcome along also....

It is awesome to hear you getting into it, it really is fun and rewarding - and challenging. Regarding your TIF, that sounds about normal, depending on the students capability does depend on how much they let you do, so no doubt you showed you were confident enough to keep at it, having a back ground in model aircraft you will also have a huge advantage on quite a lot of things - you understand what the controls generally do.

I'm no instructor by the way, but that is the way I understand it.

The fear factor is there, but once you start to understand flying, and the aircrafts capabilities, you also learn to risk manage. In other words there is an amount of risk in flying, or even driving on the road as a fact, but you learn to risk manage and eliminate those risks as much as possible. Or be prepared for them, not good to scare yourself, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared for the unexpected.

Correcting the aircraft in turbulence after a while just becomes second nature, it's all pretty good fun really!

Have fun and take care,

He recons he is still walking a foot above the ground and can't seem to get the smile of his face.

There are 10 types of people those that understand binary and those that don't:big_grin:

Ps. If I told you I was a liar, would you believe me?

Yep, gotcha, just making sure! :thumb_up: You know, I came around to give you my co-ords and take a picture, but you were no where to be found........ You had scooted off already apparently. Bit of a shame, but anyway.

Here are your photos from you.

Talk to you later, keep that D11 working hard tonight wont ya! :thumb_up:
