  1. Always liked the HB...Have plans but never started the project. Yes 28 lts P/H is high but can carry two in comfort with autopilot etc at cruise alts of 8-10 thousand with good baggage capacity. Three fuel stops between Bundy Qld and Kununurra WA. Mike
  2. I like mine...Cruises 160kt at 28ltrs/hr and lands at 40kts... Mike
  3. Thread drift....This has nothing to do with Camit closing. Camit has closed and all parts / machinery disposed of..
  4. This one is even better as Aus Registered and has slider canopy therefore no wet instruments when tipping up the canopy. Mike
  5. The RV7 will be above the 45kt stall speed. Only RV9/9A would qualify. RV12 is LSA. Mike
  6. Jaba-who, are you saying that if you have built an aircraft from a kit (Vans for example) that if you didnt assemble the engine then you cant do an annual inspection and issue a maint release without the assistance of a LAME to sign off the engine side of the inspection?
  7. David..Other than the RV12, the Only other RV model that has a stall speed less than 45kts is the RV9/9A. That is why a number of members on here have built this model and currently flying to a MTOW of 600kgs. My RV9A is GA registered and I wont hold my breath for a weight increase any time soon. I think with any weight increase will see some strict maintenance requirements. Mike
  8. Dosn't the CAO that the aircraft were registered under limit the MTOW? 55/25 etc even if tested to a higher structural weight by Hughes.
  9. All sold by tender.
  10. Any news from RAAus Exec at the recent meet the members forums re the MTOW increase application to CASA?
  11. Try contacting these guys. THAI FLYING CLUB -- General Aviation and Sport Flying in Thailand -- AOPA Thailand -- www.thaiflyingclub.com I have a mate flying for an airline in Thailand and he says the Thai CAA are extremely difficult to deal with. He says alot of light aircraft are for sale because they have a new one aircraft one pilot rule for registration. Mike
  12. Was just thinking the same thing yesterday. Mike
  13. Many Thanks for all the effort and money you put into this great site Ian. I check in a few times a day. Always something new to follow. Mike.....
  14. Hi Sue, with change of date does that mean the quarterly breakfast is now on the 11th Feb? Normally first weekend Feb/May/Aug/Nov. Cheers Mike
  15. And good for 10% off Duty Free at AUS/NZ International Arr/Dep ports.
  16. Had enough and closed shop! Bundy Flying School also closed. Queensland Aviation from Redcliffe doing a bit of GA/RAAus training.
  17. I could never understand why the "Classifieds" were handed over to a Commercial company. Good to see this resource is back where it should be...
  18. You are correct Geoff. CASA should visit NZCAA staff for some guidance...
  19. Have a change in the legislation so RAAus or other RAAO release the findings through the ATSB. They dont have to wait for a Coroners Report.
  20. Two men killed in an ultralight plane crash Condolences to family and friends
  21. Problem is that the cause will probably not be published. Need ATSB to investigate for this to happen...
  22. Is Gary still building kits? He is/has moved back to NZ.
  23. Powered Parachutes.
