    I like 45kts, hell...I cruise at 55 and stall at 28. If I tried to fly something with a stall speed of 45kts, I might get a speed wobble up to keep flying...lol

    Thanks andy, appreciated.

    The demise of natfly I feel is a direct result of the apathy of mour members and the prevalent big plane/ga wannabe mentality of some of our members. The Natfly's that Carol organised were well attended and went off well, when someone else stepped in and though they could do it better, it fell in a heap. We had the council onside, we had the local club and people on side, we had a competent organiser that the management bypassed very rudely who made things happen. What we didnt have was the bulk of members onside. Whinges about how Narromine was better, closer, etc;, how Temora was too far (are we pilots or what?), wrong time, to hot, to cold..(.no hot and cold running dancing girls..) or guys.... I hope the membership enjoy what they have because at the moment we have nothing. Hows that working for you...!!

    With natfly cancelled are we leaving ourselves open for legal problems with the Temora council...do we have a contract...?

    reality sucks, give me fantasy and dreams anytime...!!!

    Maybe someone can update the raa website to give only one message and not 2. Says "Natfly cancelled" and then the link says "natfly is coming".

    good of them to let us know.

    The onex looks like a brilliant one seater. Downunder and Dazza have it correct I think. Great that the pilots ok. Remember, any landing you walk away from is a good one.

    if you are going to hijack a thread, make sure it is not one as sad as this.

    what is an ROC? If it is a title then please use the title, not stupid acronyms that devalue the position or whatever it is.

    begs the question, why did he run out of fuel??
  13. robinsm
    had one for 5 years, flown into security controlled airports numerous times. never asked for it, havent bothered this year...waste of money

    What the hell do comments like these have to do with a missing airliner. Grow up fellas and get back on track. If you dont like the way someones eyes look, then dont look OK!!!

    How does a company justify, finding a fault with their engines, puting out an upgrade and making the owner pay for it? They screwed up, they pay, or so I thought...

    Don't you hate it when people want to micromanage things that are already entrain...

    according to the formulae It doesnt appear that my aircraft would get off the ground (110kg)...lol

    If this takes someone 3hrs to complete may I suggest they should not be flying. Most of the questions are basic and people should know the information requested for their own safety. Most of this should have been picked up during flight training.

    How about we return to the subject and not wander into the never never of bushfires, which, although tough and very important, have nothing to do with CASA or the conspiracy theories thereof. I believe that certain people in CASA are trying to justify their jobs, and prove their exhorbitent salaries are valid, by attacking RAA Aus and the aircraft owners that are members of it. We are easy targets. I do not believe that CASA want the headache of Ultralight aircraft.

    serious face on, back to the circular arguments...lol

    Why limit it to 600kg, just because every one else does. 8 passengers, 800kg, 80 kt stall, lets throw common sense out the window and all do what we like... While we are about it, free rego, free licences, no medicals and no safety inspections. Free funeral insurance and free coffee at airports...hell, lets get someone else to fly them to....

    of course you can, anything you want as long as its called recreational and not private...!!!

    Try taking off from Armidale on a 35 degree day with high humidity. Even my little beast takes a while to get there. Then try to take off at sea level and compare the two. Amazing difference in performance. This what you mean David?

    precisely and that's what happens when you try to increase the MTOW past recommended limits.
  25. robinsm
    I thought there was a very good reason for specifying an MTOW. If you cant get over the fence, or the aircraft handles like a bus when flying, then maybe your too heavy. Those wings are only built to take so much, or so I thought. How about we have no MTOW and when the plane cant get over the fence and kills everyone on crashing, then worry about it. I for one, dont push the safety boundaries, or manufacturers specs and I have survived and enjoyed myself so far. However, go ahead, maintain your rights and kill yourselves, not my problem..
