Guest Qwerty Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 It may have escaped everyone else's notice but since Ian has been elected to the RAAus board for Vic, we (both vic and Tas) have had the crappiest weather. I think that this is a terrible state of affairs and I call for Ian's immediate resignation and the reinstatement of dorught weather conditions forthwith.:dog: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Qwerty Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Nothing much stops Eugene. I saw him with a student the other day in 30 - 40 Kn doing "circuits" in his Thruster. For the first 25 min they maintained their TO heading (310) and landed several times on the same run way. VTOL Thruster!!!! Poor little thing screaming its head off and going nowhere.

Hell, we even let you North over the border once didn't we ??....nobody to blame but yourself for heading back South................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Absolutely beautiful days in this part of the country...! For flying that is, not much good for the water situation though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboplanner Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 So you see Qwerty, you were the only one in Australia to have bad weather today (Shutup Donkey). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Brett Campany Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Well there's no change over here in the West. I feel like a bloody drowned rat! Had more rain than you could poke a stick at. Although I might be flying on Thursday cause apparently the sun is going to poke its head out for a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Qwerty Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Its still persissting down here. There is no reason in the world why I shouldn't move to central NSW. QLD gets a bit warm for me in summer. I've lived in several places in QLD. Any suggestions.........and NO, I'm not particularly interested in Walgett. :stirring pot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbo Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I'll be happy to swap a couple of days bad weather for the GPS that packed it in this morning 200nm east of Broome.. GRRR Avmaps and avmap mounts. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboplanner Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 You could try Tamworth Qwerty. Dum de Dum's a good start, you just need the high heel boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbo Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I'll take the rain! Looks like hard work, after a quick Google earth look. Navigation was easy... It's that hidden Raa endorsement in part 103 for IFR. lol When there is only one road to follow it's never hard. Had a choice to make about 10 miles from Broome. South or a bit futher east. :black_eye: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenn Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Qwerty. Central NSW may be cooler than parts of Qld, but from my experience it gets a damn site colder in winter. I spent a winter in Broken Hill and another in Cobar and much prefer the central Qld coast area. 38 just about pulls it up in Summer and highs of down to 12 in Winter. Get the occasional frost, but flting on just about any day except for those rare occasions when a cyclone comes down the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Qwerty Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Thanks for the tip. Coast sounds great but for one or two things. Everyone seems to like the coast so there are lots of people and the cost of everything is high. There are the beaches which woulld be excellent if there wasn't any sand or salt water. On the other hand, inland there are less people, more room, no sand, no salt spray and since I am from TAS, the cold dosen't bother me particularly. FYI, it is still bucketting down here. Flood warnings and Gale Force wind warnings. Judging from the chart this crap is just going to keep comming. I am starting to suffer Aviation Withdrawal symptoms. I've got two perfectly aeroplanes and I am stuck on the ground. I suppose I could liven things up a bit round here if I could remember where I put my AK47 and my rocket launchers.

turboplanner Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Just had a look at the BOM site Qwerty and they said it's going to be the same where you are for six months! never mind, we'll think of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turboplanner Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Never mind Qwerty, you can buy lovely little RC electic helicopters and fly them inside now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Qwerty Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 RC Helicopter would be good but you can only get them in Mode 1. I simply will not learn Mode 1. I want a proper stick (cyclic) and a rudder/throttle. Not some mixed pile of crap that makes RC flying easy for non pilots. Don't take any fences, i'm just kranky because I'm stuck being a pedestrian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboplanner Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Go and ask Eugene how come he stuffed up the CTA entry. That should relieve the boredom for the rest of the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Qwerty Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 You are a funny man Turbo, I said I was %&^* bored not %&^* stupid. Major breaking news from Tassie. I hasn't rained here for a least 10 min. :kboom: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
