    ....wide open. Now the checklist for spinning an aircraft. 1 Full back stick so it stalls, check 2 Full throttle to keep the rotation going, check 3 Rudder into spin, check 4 Aileron opposite down going wing, check Should be ok to keep it spinning now. As everyone knows that spinning an aircraft may reduce the rate of decent a bit.....

    I do not feel the least bit guilty burning up the nations precious oil reserves, after all there is no point leaving it for our kids 'cause they will probably only waste it.

    .......the bomb release system for the percussion mortars on the undercart of the trusty Skyfox. Then installed the interrupter from an old ww1 scout for the machine gun on the top cowl. Plan in place now to drop mortars, frighten bunnies enough to stop fornicating to allow time to strafe the area then sell off the mining rights to recover the lead. ........

    Could not help butting in on this one. It is not magic that makes planes fly it is money..... The bigger the faster the newer the heavier all need more money for each step up and lots of it.

    Hi Nev, I completely agree that the stall stick position is not an exact thing but we are on the same page here. I feel that being trained to feel the aircraft by flying in and out of a stall makes it second nature to know where you are in relation to stall irrespective of load c-g bank etc. It could be that a lot of instructors just never really got comfortable with stalls and so cannot really teach stall management well because they are a bit scared.

    Only basic stalls taught in RA ???. Not necessarily true. The school where I learnt some 23 years ago insisted in competence and solo practice in all forms of stall except spins. An incipient spin is called a wing drop stall so is still ok in RA. On the other hand when I did my PPL a year later only stall to buffet or horn was normal with no full power on stall, no stall in a side slip, no stall in a steep turn. I still practice stalls from time to time and enjoy doing so. For what it's worth I recon that being ok with flying in and out of a stall builds memory to make sure you will never accidently stall. The other thing not often taught is that you cannot stall an aircraft without having full back stick (or near full). My experience is all aircraft have a "stall stick position" so if you don't pull back to this spot it will not stall.

    ......cares anyway, we all know that anything Rover will (a) break down and (b) the park brake will not hold so a few stones will need to be used to hold it....

    ......fairly clever, what fool would think that a rear end from a FC Holden would handle the torque from a falcon 250ci six. ( Bear in mind dear NES readers that a FC engine is only 138ci. ) Something a bit fishy with the engineering capability here.....

    .......news break alert, a close investigation has discovered that the punch tape is not really navigation decode it appears to be an IBL {initial Binary Loader} from a Honeywell 516 series computer. This may go some way to explain the problems of getting lost and also flying into TCU's. See you can't blame CASA or the BOM they didn't know there was a fault in the supply line.....

    ......very important but for the distraction of the Gordon and lake Pedder now filled in and the mountain range near Queenstown pushed into the sea, a snorkel is not required so far when Strahan has been pushed 50nm west....... side note the Strahan CTAF is now declared a MBZ {sorry CTAF R} due to the new 6000m long runway complex now being suitable for international flights

    .......a lawyers picnic, but clearly the stable Aussie sand is nothing like that rubbish in the northern areas. In the cold climate of the Bass ditch the sand will clump nicely hard. Certainly compact enough to land a Thruster on, even a Drifter or a Tyro......
