  1. I look at it this way, if you need to use E fuel of any description then ya gotta ask yourself, can I afford to operate any donk? Fuel is the known cheap part of operating a flying machine!
  2. They have both, RA and VH. It’s one of the neatest kept airfields around I reckonšŸ‘
  3. I run only BP 98 in all my donks, Jab, Rotax & Lycoming, never had an issue!
  4. RA has become just another grubby ā€˜boys club’! The Mag shows this!🤮
  5. I could not leave my planes outside, I don’t even let them get wet! the WX has been shiteful of late, done a few App’s to the minima and only just got in!
  6. The Thanks Giving gift that keeps on giving, the Yanky wayšŸ˜‚
  7. Just now I did. 120 kts isn’t suitable but thanks anyway.
  8. I’m of the firm belief that it’s too easy to get a plane ticket at the lower end of the spectrum and too easy to keep it! The amount of Pvt pilots I’ve gone along with for ride that are very slack in all aspects of their flying is astonishing! I partly blame the testing officers for this,they let too many slip thru the cracks of their AFR’s and it shows! Pilots should be striving to improve, doing it better rather than finding short cuts and the cheapest quickest way around an AFR!
  9. Tecnam
  10. Graveyards are full of ā€˜expert’ aerobatic pilots!
  11. The guy in the middle is on Telstra, so no reception despite the tower across the road!šŸ˜‚šŸ¤®šŸ¤®
  12. Found this recently, I can see some of this in GA!šŸ˜‚
  13. I sure as hell wouldn’t be doing unbalanced stalls etc at 2000 ft!
  14. Grubby CH7 yesterday had an article about this crash showing a Piper Seminole wrecked on the ground, any wonder we have zero trust in these clowns!🤮 The Swiss cheese model will hopefully line all the wholes up as to why three young males lives abruptly ended in a tragic way!
  15. Doesn’t look goodšŸ™ Hope we an all learn something from this tragedyšŸ™ Rotax powered machine, many will be watching closely considering the extensive SB recently by BRP-Rotax.
  16. Seeking a used but serviceable ASI with marking of approx 0-140 kts, anyone?
  17. Now this is cleveršŸ‘
  18. Second time this guy has lost a Jan donk, some never learnšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‰
  19. Jab donk exploded and the driver got it down via the Space Shuttle 1 arrival into Shepp AD! ….phew! Added date. Tomorrow, next week, it won't be 'today'. red750 (Mod)
  20. Doing the rounds now on the net, still funnyšŸ˜‚
  21. Really? Wow now who’d had thought that?šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
  22. That was a photo of the engine in reverse thrust mode, but a hood pick up just the samešŸ˜‰
  23. This one has been doing the rounds of late, I’ve always over complicated jet engines, dead simplešŸ˜‚
  24. It’s rare to have a 3 axis A/P in a light A/C. There’s simply no need for it. TruTrack is a nice unit as is the Trio Pro, even the earlier Trio EZ3 with the seperate Alt Module is very capable, there’s no need to spend big bucks on fancy Dynon and Garmin unless you want to go full on IFR.
  25. There’s that old saying, just because you can doesn’t mean you should. I drive a plane 8-9 hours some days but that’s not by choice and I’m not the only one in the pit of cocks. I do notice I’m not as alert after that amount of driving a plane, personally I’d never drive that long in a single day, I value my life more. Stay safe and ask yourself, is it really necessary and is money the driving factor?
