I know I will get shot down but, I wished VOR was still available to the extent it once was…….

Turbs, It sounds to me that recent comments you make, indicate your keyboard is due for its 100 hourly? 👍

Another industry totally screwed up by Regulators, ably assisted by many engineer wannabes that can’t even fill a tyre properly with air, let alone work a steering wheel 🤢

In all honesty, CASA and RAA do probably ring him, because there is not enough knowledge inside either organisation to get much right, so they need every bit of outside help they can get 🤩🤩 I sure know they will NEVER ring me 👍👍

Sounds like a FIGJAM answer 👍

All I can say is…….look at how the U.S. plan works under the FAA? They just keep progressing, albeit with some hiccups, this Mosaic plan they have, is being adopted by Brazil, now. Our Aviation regulator still has its head office in Jurassic Park, next to the Dinosaur enclosure. RAAus has no real respect as an organisation from me, however some good people work in the organisation and it should not be a Company, and it should wholly comply with part 149, and there are organisations looking to pressure that. Turbs, its the other way round, I would allege that YOu pass stuff from here to RAA, that’s WHY I lay baits here 🤩 I know my ugly face is the centre target in the RAA lunch room dart board……I am a pin cushion 👍 As far as FAR Part 103 is concerned, I will always champion that sector for adoption in Australia, even if illegal. You do know illegal is a sick bird 🤩. You see, this forum is a sounding board and certain people don’t like certain opinions, then we have the Snitches, bored little wannabes who would love to be out flying, but can’t and they want to pull people down having fun. I have been in Aviation for 5 minutes, as time goes on it’s becoming a bigger sh1tfight, and do gooder attitudes don’t help. Turbs, you have no idea how I work, I have NO qualifications, I have single handedly solve an engineering problem for one of the largest auto companies in the World, the sent 2 of there head office executive to my house and we sat around a table worked out a fix and then executed it. I have walked into Govt Departments single handedly and provided reports etc and had Govt legislation changed, all the while making long standing friends while at it. I don’t care what you, Turbs or anyone else say about me, iI will go on living life and having fun. ‘ Canberra Approach’. This is String Bag 1 requesting permission to land…….String Bag 1 is that you sitting on Taxiway J? Yes correct Canberra Approach did not want to inconvenience anyone in the pattern, so I thought easiest to land here. String Bag 1, please taxi to side terminal area, and proceed to tower, as they want to talk to you, (jingle of handcuffs heard in background). Mmmmm…..looks like I have a bed tonight, not in a place of my choosing 🤩

I downloaded that graphic from EAA site today, well they have over a year to get it right for 2025 🤩 I will press on with my dream! Nothing ventured….nothing gained 👍

I have spent today thinking about this, thanks Thruster88🤩 Well maybe I need to execute a dream for 2025….. Go to the U.S. buy a s/hand FAA FAR Part 103 machine, do some training and get signed off and then complete the approval process to fly into AirVenture 2025 and attend. Might be able to volunteer while there 🤩 Then fly out, disassemble the machine and ship it home 👍👍 I would fly in from Rapid City SD, I have a friend there and could use it as a staging point. Have friends in the EAA of which I am a member for the last 4 years, I am sure they will help me. Updated requirements needed…..need to stay tuned in 😎

The FAA even cater for the String Bag, Part 103 Aviators 🤩🤩 https://www.eaa.org/airventure/eaa-fly-in-flying-to-oshkosh/ultralight-arrivals

There are other things going on behind the scenes that do not auger well for RAAus either. As far as I am concerned, our peak body needs to get its stuff together, as a flashy new WEB page redesign won't cut the Mustard. An attitude adjustment needs to occur, as well………I gave them my opinion but the silence will be deafening, I can be assured of that 🤢

Well, the HP2 motor would go well in an aircraft, 1200 GS motor, with no balance shaft, some good race bits and factory blue printed and dyno’ed. Torque? Heaps 🤩

It’s often said that you start small and work up…..Worlds only bike you can double its top speed with factory parts, been there done that.

I would not be alive IF I kept it, way past my capability now…..World’s fastest road registerable enduro machine of its day. I also bought the Super Motard Wheel set for it, too. Top speed capability? I won’t mention 🤩 https://youtu.be/hvVMX-QfvTY?si=J66Oi33j4egx4wxp

Yes special order limited production HP2 Enduro sent to me in crate, I documented it’s assembly and “flight test” was given full warranty by BMW and to me to do full authorised service work on it, did 9000km then sold to a collector In Sydney

This went part way to funding my Jabiru…
