Missed 'er?? sounds good, but if you were a side slicker from some public street.... you'd sound a bit Sheila'ish don't you thunk................

seeing that ditdot missed the Mclovackians beer can that's recycled... he had run out of fancy ideas to get this thing down.....!!

So using the 2-way radio, he called up his 'ol mate tubz to see if he could come up with some brain whacking breath takin away fandangled idea......?

Dotdash to Tubblett are you on channel Tubz?

Drifter Pilots even have More Fun!!

G'day Gary the Flying Dutchman, and Welcome to the best forum in the aviation world:thumb_up:

We all get along pretty well, surprisingly there is little fighting between the real pilots, and the ones that try to be and fly triangles!

Enjoy, Fly Safely, and Have Fun:big_grin:

Not bad, even if it is in French!

They can be a fairly wild bunch

G'day and Welcome Norman, great to have you on here:thumb_up:

Those Jora aircraft look pretty nice, actually very similar looks to a Jabiru a bit I reckon...

Have Fun, Fly Safe, and Enjoy...:thumb_up:

....poor ditdot in his rushed preflight and accidental R22 flight, he forgot his spud gun:crying: which was still sitting next to his Drifting............:confused:

So he had to pull out his book of "what to do when a recycled beer can is spitting at you" information guide.... Ahhh great! just the thing, and I even have one with me........ quickly taking a sip before disposal of the water bottle, that's gonna be a water bomb in the minute.......

He's lines up on the same altitude as Mr Mclocks, (having mastered the old R22 pretty good by this time) and with a big grin:big_grin: (whilist dodging bits of moisture coming from beneath the tin can's canopy), open the window and throw the water bottle up into the rotors of the faithful R22.......... thwack! go's the rotor blade against the bottle, which in turn catapults it straight toward the slovakian piece of tin...............

Oh I see! But ain't that what Fathers are for?

That engine of yours seems to have its head screwed...stuck... on anyway, never seen one like that before, but I guess thats what happens if you run salt water through em'!

I pulled a piston out yesterday on a hilux ute 'cause it made a big bang and the owner stopped it then and there, which saved the day...! what it ended up being is the big end bolts that go through the con-rod, the top had sheered off, allowing for the piston to hit the head ever so slightly because it was now loose on the crank! good he stopped it when he did anyway.............!

===========

All's Dotdash could think about was getting this stabilized out and get some hight...(height rather!) so he doesn't hit nothing...eerr...anything! and that way he can fiddle around and get the gist of what it's like...... It's very similar to flying the thing on the sim, except my heart beat is probably I little higher!! remembering the human factors stuff, keep calm, other wise the memory goes out the window........ the attitude is looking a bit better, but the horizon is still spinning around........................

If you get a dose - make sure to use lots of oinkment.

Here's a few I found:

Pax Briefing

Passenger Endorsement

Do you give your passengers a brief in case of emergency?

Age of Pax

GGGGG's

Important Flu Warning - NOT RECOMMENDED

If you haven't already done so... check out Hiho's articles section, for Human Factors... great piece of information...!

Here tis'

Ps. Just a hint, remember how long it is before flying after diving....... a hint from my instructor!

Don't laugh, I had kids that did that.....

That must have been a sad day Tubzzz! You "had" Kids! do you mean to say that they were victims of the hide an seek game and died an unfound death!!

Gees!! any one would think I'm an English teacher!

Just have a dictionary near by....... If you don't understand some things, or they sound real technical, there not that bad when you see the actual definition...

Like Nutrition! sounds confusing to some, when all it means is, the process of providing or obtaining the food necessary for health and growth... in other words, if you live completely on take away foods, you won't have the full nutrition necessary for health and growth to there full extent!

Psychological:

Physiological:

Sociology:

Ps. What book are you studying out of?

I wouldn't count on this being the case if I were you ;-) . Good luck with the training

You do have to feel sorry for some of those guys hey.... so much time and effort go's into something like that, and then it's just a laughing stock.....!!

It is funny though:laugh:

..fan so to speak....

...Well I'll be blowed!!.... the old...eerrr....um... young... Dotdash in the R22 trick...

Never mind in getting the wrong acft, these are easy to fly! just rev up the engine, yank up the bi..? cy..? cyclic! lever and a bit of right rudder to stop the hanger going around and around. Not to much cyclic'! keep the rev's in the green, push the stick forward a bit and away we goooooooooooooooooooooo................

the other one is presenting a problem getting the head to depart the block.

Have you pulled "all" the head bolts out............?..........;)

Prior to requesting "Stick & Rudder" from the library, I priced it at over $50, but it would be nice to have as a reference book.

Mind you, 'cause it's on ebay, you got to find the cheapest one, which there always seems to be.....

I bought Stick and Rudder off these people, and the book itself I would very highly recommend, especially the last bit in this newer edition on "The Dangers of the Air" written by Leighton Collins... extremely good info in that, and simply explained:thumb_up:

So It's for sale on Ebay, and they must have quite a few of them because there is always one or two on there from the same place, and very good prices I think... There posted from the UK, but I got mine within eight days and the postage was no more than it would be to post from WA:clap:

So Here it is: Stick and Rudder

Thanks guys:thumb_up:

That one looks good Cosmick, and those Parafoils LJS, exactly what I've been looking for! So I will have to check them out........and possibly get one once I finish my flight training:big_grin:

Thanks a lot,

Let me know how it goes.. If I had more time to study I'd give the HF a go on the weekend but I don't think I'll be up to it. Haven't even read the book yet :)Well done on passing your BAK Tommo :thumb_up:

I haven't even started studying it yet either....thumb_down Starting tonight, rain, hail or shine.....:big_grin:

Better go now, got to go and get a tractor going for some farmer....:big_grin:

"What,You Havn`t Tried The Drifter"?. ;)

To answer your question: I don't really know, because I haven't flown a Tecnam, but from what I hear, there pretty easy to handle. The Jab's have got a tendency to be a bit trickyer on the landing's, but I'm sure you'll adjust to it in time, It may just take a bit to get used to that's all, and expect not to be able to land the Jab nicely first off, the Tecy's tend to make a bad pilot look good...;) from what I hear anyway.........:thumb_up:

Have Fun:big_grin:

"He needs to .......

........call the TOA of TO so that the TOA will be correct..........

how's the HF stuff going? You done the exam yet or still studying for it?
