    They lose the Impact when most of it is Made up. Hand made stuff is Too expensive. Aeromodelling wasn't a cheap exercise once larger Motors became the norm for Control line and Balsa become the Main Material used. The usual CL motor became 5 cc+. Nev

    You average the oscillations of the Magnetic compass .The fluid in it damps the Movement . It's caused by Magnetic lines of force DIP and covered in "Turning and acceleration errors" theory. Maybe your instruction had a few Holes in it. ? Nev

    Looks dangerous. Like the Cure is worse than the disease. Nev

    On the thread topic, the demise of the RAAus has been a long process and It's problems were evident from the early days and what the current situation is/ was Highly predictable. It was to great extent set up to Fail. It's all about Liability. Nev

    You are Meant to visually make sure your track takes you over Points ahead of you. When there's nothing like that available you only have the compass of course but that's open water or desert. Where was your WAC chart? Gyro instruments always Precess . Today there's google earth to Plan with. Makes it Like you've been there before especially useful Near the destination. aerodrome for circuit Orientation. Nev

    Now you are talking about something different. Turns with your eyes CLOSED. Nev

    Spatial. I wouldn't know what is causing those sensations you tell of. The aeroplane related experiences are from turns and acceleration. Nev

    If you haven't checked what is supposed to be checked you are not doing your Job Properly. I'd go with that one. Nev

    Some questionable claims made there. 2 Millionths of an inch tolerance and GAPPING a GLOW Plug??? No sign of any Machinery capable of the accuracy Claims Made either. Grinding and Lapping get those Fits. Cox's small engine sizes might have also Played a Part in Loss of Market. They weren't especially High Quality either.. The crankcases were Made from an extruded aluminium section, Not a casting. All designed for Mass Production and Low cost. Nev

    If you want to Investigate the unfairness of strict Liability look up Australian Law Reform Commission. nev

    I did NOT tell you the problem does not exist, You Twist what I say. and Probably don't even read it carefully. either. If something's unclear you only have to ask. Nev

    You are talking to a Person with thousands of Hours of Instrument flying who has 100's of Instrument Flying checks. I have NEVER lost Control of an aeroplane in VMC OR IMC conditions and have has also taught Instrument flying . Just what are you trying to do here? You have consistently chucked Muck at Me and I've Had enough of it. Nev

    Grow Up. I'm reacting to you and have tried to give you good GEN all along.. Seems like I've been wasting my time and I don't like doing that. Nev

    Unlikely as It's the FIRST and MOST Important thing they are taught to do. Also don't rely on JUST ONE instrument. Nev

    Oh How Nice! I reply when I think I might Be of assistance in general Ask RAAus They are YOUR target not Necessarily Mine. PS try being a little LESS RUDE. It's not good for the site. Nev

    It only Happens to other Pilots. Flying in cloud is easy. Everyone Knows which WAY down IS. What Piece of Paper you hold is not important .IF you aren't trained and in good shape fully Prepared and recent you have a Good chance just dying and taking others with you, needlessly. Some People just won't be told anything. They are destined to find out the HARD way. Nev

    How is that MY job? You are the One running the story. I don't even know IF they are. Nev
  22. facthunter
    That rule applies to anyone who is not current. With RAAus you have to Be paid up as a Member and comply with the other 2 as any pilot does. Nev
  23. facthunter
    Not to My Knowledge. Nev
  24. facthunter
    It will only work IF you can see them. Nev
