    So can helicopters but not when they are travelling distances. Nev

    Maybe a fagend is a Legend deteriorated by memory loss and who now Knows fa. Nev

    "sighting" Raa Means CITING. It's in code. Nev

    I think they Hover more like a chopper. Nev

    WRIGHT for weight at Randwick. There was a Pterodactyl at Gympie with a Norton Air-cooled Rotary in it. Nev

    Pilot's do 4 simulator sessions a Year and several Line checks. Failure to Perform satisfactorily on any occasion Means NO flying. They can also be medicalled out for alcoholism , Mental issues Personality disorders. etc.. Nev

    Usually doing a high one like CME/IFR covers all things below.. This "Slow and Draggy" thing is over emphasised. IMHO. Once you understand the Issues an demonstrate competence you are unlikely to forget or ignore them.. Plenty of Instructors would fly 5 different planes in a day. At the Other end of scale, Complex Heavies, Multiple Endorsements are Not allowed for fear OF CONFUSION. You will be Licenced to fly ONE RPT type on which you are current. Flying Light aircraft excluded as Long as Flight time limitations aren't exceeded. Jumping into things like A Pitts are even encouraged by some Progressive Airlines. Nev

    And Burned carbon fibre is really hazardous.. Even small oil leaks are a big fire risk and oil mixed with Dust More so. Nev.

    There was a Canadian fellow employed by TAA who wasn't properly Licenced. He was dispensed with. I think he had flown for quite a few years, here, and would have done all the Normal checks with the company. Plenty fake Log book entries. It's not worth the risk. Nev

    Considered fail safe as the FRONT wing stalling prevents the Main ones doing so. BAD logic. No control surface should ever be stalled. Also if a bit nose heavy they can't be hard ROTATED on a soft field on take off. Nev

    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.

    Grow up. Nev

    Yeah. You Pair stick together. Look I just talk straight. OK? People are allowed to Have different Opinions. You Both dish Plenty out and set yourselves up a bit. Do you expect a free ride? Nev

    I wasn't talking to you BrendAn. I was replying to Skip.. 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
  20. facthunter
    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
