    I don't like Canard aircraft. Nev

    Plastic and combustibles should be shrouded or behind the firewall. Nev

    Let's stick to what we Know is happening. Too many rumours, If's and Maybe's don't help Aviation Practices. . As you say where are the Issues that Justify this alleged proposal? Some people couldn't safely fly a Thruster at all. Nev

    Where is your evidence of a Money grab BY instructor's.? THAT used to come up when there were a lot of Instructors on the Board. whether it was true then Or Not I never found out. Actions such as this deteriorate the whole scene so it's no good for anyone. Perhaps if you lack recency, or are unsure, you should do it with an Instructor but Most sensible people would do that anyhow. Nev.

    You are "expert" at not getting the Point. Some attitudes being expressed ARE similar to those of the sovereign citizen Movement. Is that NOT a Reasonable allegation? You dish plenty out so you should be able to Cop some good questions as well. Fair enough? Nev

    I'll stick to PEKING DUCK. Nev

    Anyone it applies to. Nev

    And you still want access to controlled airspace and be allowed to fly over houses and expect assistance when you come unstuck? Also where do insurance costs go, for the rest of us? RPT won't want to Mix with you because of this type of attitude. IF you design and Make something (any Part) TEST it Prior to flying as you have responsibility to do and was always done in the Past by anyone with half a Brain. Your enemies will be Lapping up what has been said here. It's a Public Forum after all. I support the right To design and Innovate but not in a way that deteriorates a GOOD Design. People should be able to Build something like a Bleriot X1 and fly it on appropriate occasions. IF you want to be a "Sovereign Citizen" attitude person I suggest don't be an aviator where getting it RIGHT is essential to survival. Both personally and the Movement. The average person in the street couldn't care a fig whether our little Planes are allowed or Not. "TOO Tough to CARE" people are affected by gravity also. TALK is cheap. Nev

    YOU are "ALL over the Place" on this ONE, SKIP Nev

    Depends on the Mechanism. A Bi metal strip will behave as I have described. Nev

    Your Cavalier attitude to safety (as you show it here), is NOT the Norm,, fortunately. IF you were Running the show, you would end up in front of a court in no time, and you would LOSE your House. Nev

    You stuff it up for others as well when you aren't thorough. More Bad Press, Higher insurance costs more restrictions. Test it on the ground where you don't hurt anyone. There's enough unknown risks in flying without taking Known potential ones with you. It takes very little to go wrong to ruin your day ( and maybe someone else's as well.) Nev

    Depends on whether you want to fiddle or fly. It still gets back to that. If you are flying you Need Currency of both Kinds. . If you are Playing with your Plane you are not a focussed on flying it. There have been Plenty of examples. Nev

    Beware AUSTRALIA has a few tellers of Whopper Yarns. Standing under gum trees is a Risk. The Branches fall off and kill you. That's if the crocodiles don't kill you or the sharks, Taipans and the Portuguese Man O WAR stingers in QLD. are also there. QLD is Like Florida. Hot and Humid and some of it Has a WET season. Everyone here drives on the wrong side of the road. and Most Live near the Coast. NOW is approaching mid summer. A big change from Canada. Shorts are worn at Half mast in Cairns when you sit in an airconditioned PUB. getting Pissed and talking crap where Gecko's walk Upside down on the ceiling. They are Harmless. There are rainforests in North Qld and lovely islands and a Coral reef. Jabiru's are created in Bundaberg where RUM is also Made. BRISBANE Is NOW the Most expensive of the Capital cities for Houses. Most people HERE live is the Cities, About 6 of them. Bienvenue and good luck, Nev

    They love to fiddle with things. You Have a Plane Go fly it. The Standard stuff is time tested. Proven in the field. That is worth More than you might think. Change things and YOU become a test pilot. . While that Might suit your Ego it may NOT enhance your Longevity and you Might not be alone at the time either.

    3d Printing LOOKS like a good solution But often is Not. Your plane is only as good as the worst bit. Nev

    Blink rate is usually greater when more Load in the circuit ie More lights involved . Most have NO relay and have Indicator Lights on the dash. Various self cancelling methods are used to you don't look like a Blinking Idiot. Nev

    You have to grow up to before you can become a good pilot. Nev
