    We NEED an organisation We Once had it.. Nev

    We used to be in the Vanguard of the Ultra light Movement. NOW where are we?. Nev

    I know it relates to a real occurrence The flash was odd and the wires didn't appear to move. nev

    You are only dealing with a Bureaucrat where thinking is a risk to your career.. Nev

    Recommending Breaking the Law is not clever. Get smart, not just angry.. CASA can't JUST ignore it, because they Pushed it. . Nev

    Roger, it also inferred "you need it in writing" or it's worth nothing and that was my point. .Nev

    Those Images don't quite tally up. Is there an AI input.? Nev

    Anything from CASA not in writing is not worth the Paper it's written on. Was the Person you spoke to authorised to make a statement on Behalf of the CASA, or did you just get His opinion?. Also what good is a meeting that Just expresses no confidence in the Management. You must Propose some course of action to be carried out, or you just get a warm and fuzzy feeling inside. ALSO CASA created this and even specified the AUW's 762, Kgs. Unless they wish it gone, (which would be quite Hard to explain) they might show a bit of Interest. The WORLD watches. Nev

    Someone said Heaven's above so I went looking and found out the earth is NOT flat. Then I found out you could get Paid for doing what you'd Pay to do so I continued on having spent enough already. . Nev

    AI involved? Nev

    It Becomes Valuable later and is always a relatively Large area of Land that greedy developers can't Keep their Hands off. Even when the Airport was there first the Later residents complain about the Noise and want it closed down so as their Investment will Improve in Value. Darwin was always a strategic aerodrome. . Nev

    In early days of Aviation Race Courses used to be used. , Isn't Land expensive where you Propose? Airports only get closed to build Houses Not the Other way around. There's NO where to land over water or steep Timbered country. Your Plane has to be reliable enough to Not Need to. Nev

    Dunno about the GODS bit. Roads appear inviting when the fan stops. There's no Place to Pull over and Park in the sky. Nev

    It seemed like a good idea at the time. I was always fascinated with aerodynamic flight and was into Powered models from before I left Primary school. Nev

    Lots of sweep back on those wings. Nev

    Women need security, which generally includes of the Financial Kind. Aeroplanes are one of the best ways to become/remain Poor and if you are a careless Pilot, you won't be around long either.. Nev

    A peculiar Bird is the Pelican. It's beak can hold more than it's belly can. Nev

    The original wiring doesn't last forever, either. Especially where vibration and movement happens. Nev

    How do you Know when a Pilot is in the room? Just wait a While and HE will tell you. Nev

    "WE Pilots" is Not a constant. How Many Pilots do a sideslip correctly? Be on a Motor bike when a road train Passes you or stand / Park Near the side of the road and feel the Wind force. Some pilots think the rudder pedals are for taxiing or resting your Feet on. Nev

    The Logic behind some of that thinking is a bit amusing but there is a Problem there that Needs to Be addressed so ANYTHING that helps is something You CAN build a Plane without Understanding Much about structures stress and deformation Shear. Tension and compressive loads Flutter and Many other things You need to Know Proper repair techniques for all manner of defects. Building it doesn't ensure any of this. You don't need Jigs for an RV. The Preformed Rivet Holes align it. Nev

    Yes I suppose so but the turbulence is an unknown quantity. Lots of adverse Aileron effect in a Thruster but the rudder and elevators would still work with Power on. Once in a DH 82 I got stuck airborne with very high winds at Rutherford (West Maitland) and had to wait till 2 heavy People were able to hold the Wings with the wheels in contact with the ground and then I reduced the Power. Nev
  24. facthunter
    I reckon you (or anyone) would prang the Thruster. I think you are underestimating the difficulties and you Might Need a bit More Power quickly than you have spare.. Nev

    There's enough in that video to be able to think about the Main Issues. It's STILL too risky. The risk is not contrived. That's a Seriously dangerous thing to attempt. Nev
