Thruster88

Dan's DMMS, Defined Minium Manoeuvring Speed 1.4 x clean stall, is in most light single engine aircraft the same indicated airspeed for best glide AND best climb. 3 in one value, must have something to do with aerodynamics that AlL aircraft are subject to.

As an owner of a RV6A with a similar paint scheme the pics of the crashed aircraft are somewhat disturbing. Thankfully not a fatal accident. The damage to the leading edge at the outbound end of the fuel tank and failure of the engine mounts in overload have me wondering what has happened here. Hopefully the ATSB will do one of their quick investigations.

Come on up, if the wind is out of the north west and the temp is about 30°C the density altitude will be about 5500 and the (down) wash may be in operation. 😃

A rare and beautiful Gere sport, scratch built from plans by David and his late father, grandson James is learning tailwheel in the red thruster so three generations will get to fly it.

Ride to work Friday, three of us took the highway.

Those flaps appear to be very effective. Does it really stall at zero airspeed? 😃

These knife connectors provide a more reliable connection for high current use in aircraft. They each have male and female parts.

Press the settings cog then flight history in user data, if flight recorder has been turned on all your flights will be there. I have android version.

In most if not all Rotax 9xx engine installations the alternator can not be turned off while the engine is running. Smoke in the cockpit from a bad connectionlike you almost had, tuff. Does your earth x battery have the "fire vent tube" fitted to vent nasties overboard?

Additional warnings in the ERSA about ops in westerly winds due rising terrain to the west and down wash.

You need to set the low voltage warning on the dynon to 13.2? Volts then you will get a timely warning if the alternator goes off. 16-20 amp hour battery should run avionics for several hours.

Since this is the silly section of this aviation forum, that idea would appeal to maga and one neuron types, they love simple solutions to complex problems.

I recall you have posted occasionally in TELL US ABOUT YOUR LAST FLIGHT, presumably these are private flights. I enjoy reading about others private flight, gatherings, aircraft building, maintenance, accidents and anything else to do with aviation. Sharing is good.

Just announced on FB that they have cancelled due weather.

Yes crookwell aero club is reforming, they are putting on a bbq. Events | Crookwell Aero Club WWW.CROOKWELLAEROCLUB.ORG.AU send an email if attending. Some chance of storms but looked better just now.
