    There will always be idiots out there to entertain us😂

    The chances of colliding mid-air would be so remote it’s hard to believe this even happened. I still can’t believe CG is gone😞 such a tragic accident which shook up so many of us in those circles😞
  3. Flightrite
    It’s actually common knowledge (to those within the inner circle) that CASA want to hand over the control of GA up 1.5t as I mentioned earlier but the hype of .76t as become the main focus.

    That’s what the set up I used to be involved with was, not so much a free swinging axe but an axe head of sought captured in a guide frame, then being belted with a mash hammer, we used to simulate it and it actually worked quite well.

    The ‘axe’ comment reminded me of the days towing targets for the Navy in an old PA31. The ‘axe’ was placed in a specially built frame suspended over the cable, should the cable winch fail or the target was shot up by the Navy gunners ( whom I might add never once hit the target😂😂) and couldn’t be safely reeled in then a large mash hammer chained to said frame was used to belt the crap out of the cable!😂 Footnote: with the target extended the old PA31 would descend at around 500fpm on one donk at combat power! Great times, many years ago now👍

    There sure has been some ugly A/C over the years!😂

    Easy fix. I put all my fuel Caps on my seat until they are needed to fill the hole/s in the wing, pain in the ass it is ………BUTT😂 Had one left of my A320 many years ago, got a message from ATC b4 we lined up, fuel guy has yr cap in his truck!

    CAsA would love to offload the burden of GA to RAAus up to 1500 kgs, but most of us here will be worm food b4 it becomes reality!

    Too many events were on the same W/E!☹️
  10. Flightrite
    Not a good spot to be sitting in there!
  11. Flightrite
    You flew 16 nm in that thing? Now that’s adventurous!😉😉

    I was over in sheep shaggers country recently and spotted the old Convair, still operational for Chatham’s but the gas man said they are retiring them, going jet!
  13. Flightrite
    There sure are some NQR fools out there! Me thinks the lunatics who got the price that high did you a favour KR😉
  14. Flightrite
    I didn’t think you were in yr 80’s KR?😉I wouldn’t be too concerned with the idiot who contacted you being butt hurt, it’s a public auction and advertised on public forums/places, let the moron sweat!😂
  15. Flightrite
    There’s plenty of NQR plane drivers out there so getting $200+K wouldn’t surprise me one bit, shear stupidity is all!
  16. Flightrite
    Some of you guys are hanging too tight there😂😂😂😉
  17. Flightrite
    It’s odd to see some cockpits set of for R/H seat Ops SP, I just don’t get that? some plane drivers really struggle to handle a plane in CMD from the L/H drivers seat, weird!
  18. Flightrite
    Too many😉 Gotta keep the aviation industry going😉
  19. Flightrite
    …..if only I could drive my RA toys at these speeds😂
  20. Flightrite
    30psi for most applications. I’ve tried 25 to 45 on all my machines, it’s a compromise but I operate off grass most of the time.
  21. Flightrite
    Seriously overrated they are!
  22. Flightrite
    Every planes is a trade off. Mission is the first consideration then price. RA does offer options if you are solely driven by price. I’m not a fan of Jabs (dog ugly to me) but I do operate a few of their donks but my preference is metal anyday👍 Old school still does the job👍The higher weight which will ultimately go to 1500kg is a plus for many.
  23. Flightrite
    I fail to understand what people see in the Cirrus machines? Expensive and seem to have plenty of engine issues, nah, an RV10 I’d jump on though👍
  24. Flightrite
    Whilst spelling/grammar has always been overrated it’s something that employers look at closely, as well as the psycho crap! The best person for a job is no longer the one who will get the job, it’s the ‘right’ person! Now to go see what this survey is all about.

    Looks like the wife knows her place there😉😉
