Apparently it's the only example flying today.

This is a great piece. They are showing and explaining how distractions can kill you using a problem in the cockpit that is out of the norm. Another form of distraction that is catching a lot of pilots out is outside of the cockpit. With the growing popularity of off airport type flying ( Moose stalls ) orbits while you are fixated looking out the window at wildlife or that ideal remote spot you can touch your wheels down is catching a lot of pilots out. The example of this that really stuck with me was cub driver 749er dvds 1 and 2.... DVD 1 shows training of pilots mastering the off airport environment. The 2nd dvd had a tribute of one of the student pilots who had spun into the ground and lost his life. The one thing that I can see that is similar with the two instances is how quick you can loose airspeed when distracted and pay the ultimate price. You can learn a lot from other peoples mistakes.

Does it pull up and lay I.E.D's....?

I got the parts back from powder coaters and made a new floor board. This week I splashed a bit of paint on it and this time I stuck some marine carpet down. When I got it the floor was unpainted and weathered a bit. I spent a good part of today putting it back together and this is how it turned out.

I spent the last couple of months taking off parts getting them sand blasted and powder coated again. I took out the old floor for replacement.

Wow. That was a amazing bit of footage. Well spotted.

You can buy S/S tube donuts and you just cut the angles to suit.

I spotted this bloke about to climb into one of the F22 Raptors. Apparently the U.S are down seizing there pilots to help avoid radar detection. ?

They had a Aeromomentum firewall forward package at Avalon. They look to be quite an impressive auto conversion.

Organized some thru ASAP Aircraft spares Caboolture.

I got some bolts off asap spares last week and they are really good to deal with. I'll try them for the wire.

I'm after white Avionics wire to make a harness for my becker radio. Need some help tracking a supplier to purchase some from...…..

Heading down to Avalon for my first Avalon air show. Who's going?...….

Are you left handed ?

That paddock got real ugly at the end there. Evan with bush wheels it would have been a workout.

Due to a non air worthy style modification to my control stick I decided to remake a new one with a modification of my own. I thought it would be better fabricating a zenith style stick for more comfortable control and a lot better for duel control when needed.

Thanks for all your help I'll give it a go and if I have a issues I know where to come to get it sorted.

Nope unfortunately.... Grass strip. Dirt floor hanger. And Beer and Cheese....

I got the Bolly stick instructions with my prop as one of the options for setting the pitch but I was concerned with how accurate it will be with the hanger floor being dirt with a camping mat over it.

I'm after a bolly pitch gauge if any one has one the factory are out of them at the moment. Or if you are in S.E QLD and are willing to loan one out I will be appreciative with the guarantee you will get it back.

Another change I made straight up was when I got the pup it hade a flat back tyre so I sourced a solid electric wheel chair tyre to replace it and eliminate that problem.

Apart from a bit of cleaning since the aeropup has settled in her new home I have swap the tyres from the 15's to the good old turf glide 18.5's. ultimately I would like to put a set of Aeroclassic 22'' tyres on but the money will be best spent else where. I will get her in the air first.
