  1. .......... I thought so ?? you can carry a pushbike in a plane ................ BUT ........... these push bike lights - when turned on (a switch) - emit a pulse of light that could / might / maybe detract nesting birds - at night
  2. you could try ? .................. the LED lights that go on push bikes cheap as chips - got 4 for $ 15 from ebay - red - probably get white (if that's not being racist) - charge from a USB I reckon ? they would last a day or 2 without charge good pulse of light at night
  3. I'll assume a couple of the following things - purely in the interest of thread chatter - 24 registered planes and their engines - what happens when the engine becomes time expired * its becoming relevant if you entertain buying a 24 registered plane * or perhaps some other type No registered plane - the MARAP process creates paperwork and a fee - (apart from the cost) ............ the intent is then recorded & probably is a good thing in that everyone can see what the 'go' is - a paperwork trail - MARAP is at least doing the job currently (and I hope in the future) - in the case of the 912 - if Rotax are saying 'no going past engine life' .............. then that must clear Rotax of liability - because of MARAP ..........................who is then now seen as taking this liability - if it's RAA - how can they accept that liability - RAA are not engine manufacturers (or is MARAP comparable to GA 'on condition' and therefore acceptable) ................ And - I don't understand why RAA does not clear the air on this subject - its straight rule interpretation - best to hear it from the horses mouth (irrespective of what the rules may say ......... or not say or whoever says it) - RAA to clarify for all to hear - clearly - loud and clear
  4. originally (I don't know how far back) RAA gleefully accepted all those aircraft registrations and fees ................. guessing engine life was never really considered BUT now its been placed out front and is an issue for aircraft owners MARAP is the mechanism and am not to sure who collects that fee. $ 330 for the MARAP fee seems disproportionate compared to an annual rego fee of say $ 235 ........... ?
  5. apologies skip - I thought the 2 'nn' were in the flight safety thread -........................ I now see it in your subject title ! ..............
  6. 'n' lives right next door to 'm' ............ it may not be dyslexia

    quiet a low stall spped for suck a big bird - 70 knots (................ no offence you Xair people)
  11. apologies if you have heard this one ............... no joke though Onetracks post above reminds me of the NZ topdressing DC 3's that could take a Bambina or a Mini in the back - also by ramp - for transport of pilot and crew - pilot got off one speeding ticket in the North Island ................. BUT, presumably had to pay the South Island ticket ! (post form NZ web-site below) Was it Gerry Kluck that got two speeding tickets in a day (within the hour I think), one between Blenheim and Woodbourne followed by one from Paraparaumu Airport to the Railway Station. (so engineer could catch train to Palmy)? Magistrate through it out of court as it was thought impossible to get two tickets within three hours in two islands in the same car.
  12. interesting one - tried to message picture to Red - electric - freight over NZ cook straight ?
  13. what height above sea level is that strip ? ..................... perect conditions that day (I am not taking anything away for the skill in landing) ...................... I'd like to see a goo around - touch down and then over the top .................. looks possible ?
  14. ................... very ? eloquently put
