Tomo

aha, in the nicest possible way, that's not going to happen...I like have the cockpit sides around me, I think I'd be worried about 'shifting' too far and falling off the side!

Don't worry, you'll get there!

Don't give away aircraft ownership completely, I'm hoping to own mine one day, just got to buy a bit of land first, that way It is a little harder to buy myself into a corner...

I think the format video wise, was excellent, you saw what the pilot was doing /looking at, you saw what he was doing with the stick, and you saw the view out the front window. Plus he had video from the ground !..that all takes a bit of setting up.

Tomo, I'm happy to hear that. (a) You must have had a good instructor. (b) You will have the skills required to shoehorn yourself into that real tight paddock if you ever have to, after an engine failure...................................................................................

The real reason I posted the video link was about the videoing, rather than the performance of the flying. But seeing as we are heading that way, keep it up, but just be careful not to bag the pilot... remember it only takes a little bit of criticism to cause a lot of pain for someone, also makes one a "proving person" resulting in over performing oneself and consequential accidents evolve, etc.. Constructive criticism I'm sure he would appreciate, so lets be like that hey?!

Ok, so who makes the flying performing rules...?

If the pilot is a safe pilot, lands it without breaking anything or anyone, performing with-in his performance boundaries, and doesn't cause conflicting problems with other aircraft, (ie, the situation of three parallel runways, obviously you wouldn't "S" turn your final approach....)

I honestly don't really care how he operates the aircraft, if it is done safely with others in mind, and to suit the particular area, who cares how he does it?! Honestly... don't you hate it when others are backseat drivers in a car...!?

Constructive criticism, I love it! that is how one learns, but lets not judge without knowing the full facts.

And we wonder why we have so many rules and reg's, endorsements etc...

Sorry I'll step down now....

Ps. I'm not saying you aren't giving constructive criticism, just keep it in mind.

He was interested in it for me more than anything...

I do quite a bit of wood crafty stuff myself that is why.

One rainy day I might try and make one of those clocks myself I'm a thinking... :thumb_up:

Hey! What do you think your doing, jumping without a parachute?

It's Ok.... it's only a practice jump!!

How Hard were the driving test questions?

They were easy... But I had some trouble with the answers.

I bet up Big at the race track, and it's got me on my feet.......

Yeah!

Yep!... I lost my Car

brain...

Better young Tomo? :)

 

 

 

I never promised it would make sense though... Typical lawer!! Sorry couldn't help it!

 

Better, better for sure....

That is just not the same... As an ordinary pain,

Because it is to do with a plane,

And that is no ... brain...

Oh what a shame,

to be so lame,

and have no fame...

it's never going to be the same,

No, never again...

Is thinking it's past my bed time....

...not cricket

Couldn't think of any rhyming words, so feel free to ignore me

Darky, Darky, Darky.... what is going on...? you have been going so well and now you go and do that on us!

===========

But don't worry to much,

because I'm down right hopeless...

at all things rhyming,

That I'd rather go an eat lunch.

Typical example above ^ :black_eye:

Ahlocks is excelling himself rather though,

By going with the flow....

Anyway unless everybody decides not to renew their rip-off, i mean ASIC card, their wont be change, same for control locks. Cheers

I now look at it, either we can all walk around annoyed to bits about the whole thing, or just comply with it and enjoy ourselves doing what "They" want us to do. You end up a lot friendlier to!

Concerning the ASIC card, $160 bucks every two yrs, not tooooo bad considering some other things these days.

It just things like this we're gonna have to grin and bear when in this strange industry... But then again it's with every type of industry, the amount of 'stuff' you gotta go through these days is incredible really.

That is just not the same... As an ordinary pain,

Because it is to do with a plane,

And that is no ...

Yes I would be interested in hearing more about it, will have to head over and have another look one day.

Not aviation, but my brother saw this and got me interested in it!

Check out the video's, just awesome pieces of workmanship and skill to do something like that, not to mention the correct number of teeth on the gears to give the correct time!

Who worked with a crane...

Personally I do use a side slip often to adjust height on final

...turning into an aeroplane...

Hey Dazza!

Yep, Stiff has been playing around for a while, Here is a thread started a while ago about it.

What about the Irish parachute..... it opens on impact! :ah_oh:

You told him to count to twenty, then pull the rip - cord

Yeah, so?

Well he's got a stutter!

you gotta put up with the rain.

A jokes a very serious thing....

Actually they do look like they'd be at home on the front of an old Fergie i_dunno...

He says put the stick to the direction the wind is going so that the aileron that's into the wind is down. I was taught & from experience it works, that you put the stick into the wind (where its coming from) when taxiing & when landing lower the wing that is into the wind, which of course is stick into wind.

I have always taxied with the stick into the wind, put the stick where the wind is basically.

And like DF I have also found from experience it works great, especially for directional control in the Drifter if you have a nasty sidewind/crosswind.

But then he does have a point because the wind in his situation is coming from the right hand rear corner, and so a down going aileron would be the go there, whereas if it was from the front right hand corner It would be a nasty thing to do... like he said there is a lot of variables to think about when flying in strong winds!

we could go by train.....

This chaps got the idea...:thumb_up:
