Ignition Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 So I discovered tonight that the December RAA mag was in the mail box. Gonna keep this short and sweet and do some dot points to what you can look forward to. I think most people will be pleasantly surprised... - The Usual (President's Report, Calendar of Events, Accidents/Incidents, Planes for Sale etc etc.) - A couple training reports (Weight Shift, Drifters etc) - Flight Report on the Super Petrel LS Seaplane - Aeropup Kitbuild - A report on Great Eastern Fly-In 2012 being Canned - Jabiru goes to China - Evans Head 'Whispering Death' Retirement Village - An Airport report about Caboolture - A trip report written by a Kelpie Dog named Barry - A book review by Kreisha - An article about GYFTS - Prof Avius turns into a Fashion Columnist (I think he has found his niche, none of this stop and go business) - A tech discussion on Carby's for the mechanically minded people Plus a couple others. As you can see, theres plenty of juice in this months copy of the magazine; People wanted variety, well... They've certainly gotten it this month and to be honest, despite it being kinda wacky and unusual... I actually like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfGnome Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Interesting price on a Savvy in there. Got to be a typo, surely?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignition Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 $5000.. Ill take it! I get the feeling they meant $50,000 though... I didn't notice it the first time I looked through the members market. Good find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piet Fil Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Well, after accusing Iggy of bragging over quick delivery, I get home to find mine in the mailbox. Yay! a good christmas readathon coming up as my EAA Sport Aviation mag turned up just the other day as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shags_j Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Just getting ready to post my "Where's my mag?" reply then realised. Ooops, haven't paid my membership Good thing I haven't been up lately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest davidh10 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 It says all the nominations etc should be in by now and voting will be in the January edition.. I thought my magazine delivery was early until Iggy said his was late and then I looked at the date and it is as-expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Well knock me over with a bowling ball.My mag turned up in the mail today. Looks Good Same here! I like that plane on the front cover... think I might be looking that one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ozzie Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Mine too. Improving with each issue. I think we should all be paying attention to what is happening at Evans Head. Maybe start lobbying as a group to MPs etc. Looks like it is heading for the same future as Hoxton Park that was also Heritage listed. Slight giggle when i read Steve Bell's opening line. He has a few 'wish' dollars of mine. Interesting letter by K V Bauer. Seems the number of aircraft for sale are increasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deskpilot Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Same here! I like that plane on the front cover... think I might be looking that one up. Me to Tomo, but what a rotten trick to play though. They whet your whistle by putting it on the cover of the mag and the calendar, but where's the write up? Nothing, zilch. I wonder how many other non RAA pilots will buy it from news agents only to be so disappointed. I must say that the FK Le Mans is a real sports-car of the air (well in looks at least).
