  1. They have both, RA and VH. It’s one of the neatest kept airfields around I reckon👍
  2. I run only BP 98 in all my donks, Jab, Rotax & Lycoming, never had an issue!
  3. RA has become just another grubby ‘boys club’! The Mag shows this!🤮
  4. 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!
  5. The Thanks Giving gift that keeps on giving, the Yanky way😂
  6. Just now I did. 120 kts isn’t suitable but thanks anyway.
  7. 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!
  8. Tecnam
  9. Graveyards are full of ‘expert’ aerobatic pilots!
  10. The guy in the middle is on Telstra, so no reception despite the tower across the road!😂🤮🤮
  11. Found this recently, I can see some of this in GA!😂
  12. I sure as hell wouldn’t be doing unbalanced stalls etc at 2000 ft!
  13. 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!
  14. Doesn’t look good🙁 Hope we an all learn something from this tragedy🙁 Rotax powered machine, many will be watching closely considering the extensive SB recently by BRP-Rotax.
  15. Seeking a used but serviceable ASI with marking of approx 0-140 kts, anyone?
  16. Now this is clever👍
  17. Second time this guy has lost a Jan donk, some never learn😂😉
  18. 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)
  19. Doing the rounds now on the net, still funny😂
  20. Really? Wow now who’d had thought that?😂😂
  21. That was a photo of the engine in reverse thrust mode, but a hood pick up just the same😉
  22. This one has been doing the rounds of late, I’ve always over complicated jet engines, dead simple😂
  23. 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.
  24. 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?
  25. I spent 10 years in the EMS field some years ago and SPEED is a huge factor in the outcome of stupid drivers! Apart from booze/drugs graveyards are full of idiots who were speeding! I for one wish there was a speed camera on every corner to take in the $$$ and hurt the hip pockets of the stupid out there! You see how you handle watching a mother in utter distress as she finds out her son is brain dead from speeding and driving in a reckless manor, trust me you don’t ever wanna see/hear that!
