You'll be telling me soon that if you put a brick in the back of a windsock, it does nothing towards a smoother flight.
I never noticed the metal one. Silly me!
Mentally it makes for a very smooth flight that brick in the sock😉
Once turned up at my mates place flew over to check sock, what sock? Sock was jammed hard up against his north boundary fence, I wondered why I had a screaming G/S😂

Strong wind from starboard?
Not quite, the outback metal windsock tells otherwise😉

Shame the SupaPup is no longer available, that’s a great A/C and looks more like a Cub👍

Boeing have self demonstrated of late that pilot-less planes would be suicide!

The scary part about the the millionaires club (RA) is that grubby CASA would like to see ALL GA planes up to 1500 kg’s administered by RA….God ‘elp us!🤮

Tech form 013 is the condition report form/s, all forms are available the RA tech manual

As soon as Part 43 comes to fruition I’ll be dumping RA on all my planes like a hot potatoes! It’s a millionaire’s club now!🤮

I think it’s quite amusing despite V2 being the T/off Safety Speed VTOSS for a donk failure👍 maybe VTOSS could mean tosser at the wheel😂😂

The “gun to the head” mentality is working well!🤮

When are you due?😉😉

I bet the toy plane driver didn’t mean to go that low!😂

That foto should now apply to Boeing who are now in a world of hurt!

That Holden tug crashed sometime ago (I think they only had one), fuel starvation, he walked away, plane was ok I believe.

The single biggest hurdle using an odd ball engine is resale! Vans machines take a dive value wise with anything other than a Lycoming in it!
Once you drive a turbojet/prop powered plane you’ll wonder why we stick to the most agricultural engine designs……..why?……. cause they work!
On another note there’s a $230K RV6 (girly version) on the market, the world truly has gone nuts now Vans is in a world of hurt!

Kit prices going up 32%! Ouch....
From their announcement:That's still not too bad - particularly if you go the standard kit route and live in the US... For the RV-9A for example, it gores from $36,965 ->$48,793. That's not insurmountable, and about what I paid for my QB kits back in 2010, but you just have to assemble it yourself...You could still put an RV-9 in the air, in Australia, for around $120K if you go a SB kit, used engine and basic, second hand avionics. Not many people will though, so I'd expect to see used RV prices creep up around 10-20% over the next couple of years.
Seen the latest RV listing (9) for $189K? It’s started!😂

The most tragic part of this event is that it didn’t need to happen! Whilst we don’t know the full story (may never know) this does point to careless flying in a high risk environment! Imagine being remembered for taking an innocent life thru a reckless stunt?
It won’t end here, there will be more, some are just destined to become statistics🙁- 1

I’ve been listening to the Vans CH11 hearing in court, seems there’s $22Mill been paid by buyers awaiting their kits…..OUCH! “IF” Vans comes thru this then those with current paid or part paid orders will either have to accept the huge increase under a new agreement (like a gun to your head!)or go on to the unsecured creditors list and hope for a few pennies in the dollar!
Gotta feel for those caught in this mess! 😞- 1

Guess where? A year or two ago now. You’d cry turning up at the airport in your boat to see that!
