    For a long time now. learned people have told ME that VH exp is the way to go for the Most surety and freedom. No later adjustments would incline me to change that view. Regarding inspection access, put them where you will require access to check /service as well as what's Mandated. It's better than cutting holes later and having to touch up the Paint. Nev

    He's really saying Far Cue. Donger is derived from "Donga" PNG but it mostly means something else. Here's a clue. Dongerkopf. Nev

    ALL that for just $10? You are unrealistic. Nev

    How do you see out the front?. Oh I see a little panel . Even it's mother wouldn't love it. Nev

    Look up the Meaning of patronised. Nev

    I was required to do them on my Fisher's wing. Nev

    Why don't you put in Inspection panels when you are doing the fabric.? You may find that they are required. Nev

    What are you talking about? Nev

    That altitude is sufficient to consider performance degradation Particularly if it gets Hot as well. (November) Don't get caught with a density altitude problem. Don't overload. IF your Plane doesn't have Much OOMPH left at 5000' it will have Marginal performance there in the take off Go around and landing Phase. .Make sure your motor has the Performance it should have.. Nev

    You have to KNOW your Aeroplane, or you will stuff up. Nev

    Drones and an Aeroplane are entirely different things. as to how they are controlled. Gyros would be a big Part of the drone scene. Dutch roll is very difficult for a human to control. A human can quickly make it worse, Switch on the Yaw Dampers and it stops immediately.. Nev

    It would be "some" autopilot that could Handle all conditions of landing and take-off in a Jab. Nev

    Nice quality. That set up puts a lot of load at the attach points and has NO real damping. Damping stops/ reduces the Plane Bouncing. Oleo's generally have it. U/C damping and ground spoilers give you another world at the Landing Phase. Of course it costs and is more weight. Nev

    Some of that is just wishful thinking. It's just NOT FACT. Nev

    The airport is entitled to charge for the Facility it Provides. It's not reasonable to expect it to be free. Avdata has been an irritant for ages. You have to Prove you weren't there and also Who (as the Pilot/operator) has ever signed a document with Avdata to give IT the the right to take a good profit from acting exclusively as the Airport's agent?. The airport Just wants to be PAID their Money. They don't really CARE about your problems. When I had the Citabria, I got bills for Landing at Perth International and Mt ISA.. had a Hell of a job getting out of those where It should only Be a declaration(signed) and let them accuse you of Lying.( Perjury) How are they going to PROVE it was you if you weren't there?. It had to be somewhere else didn't it.? They wouldn't be GAME. Just another opportunistic PARASITE in the game, creating so much fuss a lot of People Just Pay anyhow. Nev

    Sorry Jackc.. I'm with RFguy on this. Advocating defying the Law is not a good look for this Forum. Nev.

    Family snapshots? You are off your brain using such an analogy. Skip. Those things are Little AEROPLANES and the owners and 0ften the Builders, who actually Flew them to an organised gathering they chose to arrange and should have been able to post Pics of it without fearing the put down and Pile on you are Responsible for on this matter.. Variety is the spice of life. It would be a lesser world if we all wanted the same. Would it be OK to have a FORD "T" rally or would that be eletist. ? Any Private aircraft activity at all should be encouraged, HERE.

    BTW we are off topic. Nev

    We have moved on from that, and like I said when they BUY Players, what's the Point? It's just a business with a lot of money and HYPE involved. I watched a bit today. A lot of very FIT blokes but it doesn't do much for ME( and never Has or will) . Nev

    You don't "get it" Skip. because you don't LISTEN. The "eletist" assertion is a below the Belt comment often used as a justification by the" IF We can't ALL go, nobody should, brigade. Also, Everything has to be done YOUR way OR you're on and on about it. You are not the Oracle. You are, like all others, able to state YOUR opinion but have no right to insist on compliance to the strange world of rules you live by, by all and sundry. Your so called feed back is just abuse in most cases. Why do you keep on bringing up the "Public Forum" thing? Nev

    Special Interest groups can Liase and sort things out relating to their Particular Types of Aircraft. It has a very real safety aspect for them. Nev

    Football is like a Religion to many of it's followers. Once you can BUY Players from everywhere, what's the Point? As for soccer, I decided early in the Piece that Heading the Ball is not great for your Brain, so I stopped Playing Soccer. Nev

    Good move. That area can have some really bad weather. There's always another day. Nev
  24. facthunter
    Just words that you "mouth" that you don't live by yourself. You are about the Biggest critic of things other than what YOU claim are what people should like and want to fly.. A group of people of a special interest have the right to Hold an exclusive event IF THEY WISH TO.. It's not any of your business. I remember well your shameful 'Pile on' the Spirit. You are behaving like a control freak. Nev

    Its "explained" in Layman's terms but should be pretty obvious to those More technically involved with the Metallurgy etc.. There's some useful information there, for Interest's sake. It would keep a few People busy trying to Prevent degradation.. Many Parts would have been subjected to fatigue in high time Aircraft and be ruled out on that Basis.. Nev
