spacesailor Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) Then again . My Hummel-Bird doesn't fit " 95-10-1103 '' category either. It's wings are too small . Even through it was a " registered " aircraft . ( under AUF ) . V H experimental, or back to RAAus as a new registration , ' 95-19-whatever ' . I would swap for a ' 103 ' aircraft . To get away from " them who like to be gods ". spacesailor Edited April 18 by spacesailor A little more ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackc Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 So, the kit maker must have sanctioned the 544 rating at some time? They would have been aware of what was going on in Australia ? Could an engineer certify the 544 MTOW? Now have there been any structural problems with this model of aircraft? And crashes with an adverse investigation outcome, due to airframe failure?

jackc Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 On principle, I would have stood my ground because RAA requirements were complied with on the day. So they changed their mind? I think RAA gets a thrill out of making things hard? Or has the Bristell fiasco spooked them? Not sure that is done and dusted either, from what I hear. 🤢 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackc Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I believe there is a court action involved, something to do with grounding of aircraft from what I was told. 🤢 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
