    Don, thanks for post and idea of what MIGHT happen along the lines you have mentioned. If the weights do increase to 1500kg then I am sure CASA will want changes made to the current RAAus maintenance requirements.

    Don, what will be in the weight increase request to CASA re maintenance of aircraft above 600kg? Take an RV4 / 9 for example. Currently these aircraft can be maintained by the builder IF the builder has completed the SAAA maintenance course. If not then the aircraft has to be maintained by a LAME. I can see CASA requiring similar maintenance requirements to those of SAAA across the whole RAAus fleet. Mike

    So what were the "actual words"?

    Would be a start in getting some of the past members to renew. Use some of the proposed membership drive budget on reinstating the member magazine to all members. The members market has taken a dive. Used to be around 100 adverts now down to a dozen or so. might even get back some of the big advertisers like Mendelson etc. mike.

    Great post Ian. Informative and even my fingers can now touch the right icon on my 4.5" Samsung mobile. Cheers Mike

    Garry, are you moving to NZ. I saw the post re selling a R912 as moving overseas. mike

    Shouldnt be an issue with the RV9/A Mike

    Bob, my RV9A stalls around 43kts at MTOW with flaps. If I am solo and use full flap I need to be back to around 50kts over the fence or she will just float along in ground effect. Not a problem when there is plenty of runway but have to watch it when operating into fields of less than 700m or so. I know of an RV9A that will be on the market in a few months. Will only have basic instruments and radio. Mike

    Bob, is the RV4 registered single seat OR just limited to single seat ops due MTOW restricted to 600kg. Would normally have design MTOW of 680kg. The RV9/9A has a stall of around 43kts and is the best Vans aircraft able to be registered RAAus especially if RAAus get 700/750kg MTOW. MIGHT even change mine over but there are other factors to consider. Mike

    Garys aircraft is infact an RV6. It was built by Gary in NZ and he flew her over when he retired from AirNZ to the GC. Mike

    Ian, the aircraft Gary had was written off about a year or so back. Lost power on takeoff from Mason Field. mike

    CU there Brett. Plan to fly in this time RV9A (VH-LAT) Mike

    Ian, great idea. There was no discussion with the membership of RAAus about moving the Members Market. Adverts in Sport Pilot are 10-20% of what they used to be. i guess members dont want to pay the fee for a sport pilot advert IF the advert is not going to be read. Mike

    Have to agree with Magnetodrop. I now have 4g with a speed check of around 20mbs and there has been no improvement in the loading of this site. Still very slow to load an individual advert. Data Hungary as well. Mike

    And I havn't been able to find anyone in CASA to explain why the extra weight for floats.
  18. ave8rr
    No...it only takes a few hours to organise a meeting and election of a new leader. This was the case a few months back.

    Could also try Jennifer Beck 0419 784 715 Suncoast Flying School

    What about following the Brittish system of having a Light Aircraft Association (LAA)? That would allow light aircraft like Austers and Tiger Moths etc along with Eperimental to fly on a Permit to Fly system. seems to work over there. Just another idea to discuss.

    Agree Mark, I would like to think RAAus was writing the report prior to post 72 above.... Mike
  22. ave8rr
    Will we see an accident "Brief" from RAAus or was the Katoomba accident Brief a one off?
  23. ave8rr
    I believe that a C182 was damaged by vandals there a while back. The aircraft was in a hangar.

    Correct John, now owned by Colin Smith of Mandeville near Gore SI NZ. http://www.microaviation.co.nz/ cheers Mike

    This may not happen IF there was an independent Annual Review of the Maintenance. This Review would be attached to the Rego Renewal Application.
