MAMIL remover? Oh how we wish😂😂

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!

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🙁

That’s an oldie but a goody👍 You’d wanna have faith in ya driver!😂

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! 😞

Sounds like a great opportunity to me…..😂

Kitchen is not big enuf, gotta keep the minister for agro happy😂😂

I see a Chinese Co (or other opportunist) taking this joint on. Vans have shot themselves in the foot!

This boils down to more profits for less work! Vans have put a forever dent in their reputation!

If it shows decent reliability and is a compatible price then they’ll sell like hot cakes!

I maintain a class one, it’s a pita but necessary if I want to see the curvature of the Earth every now and then!

Got plenty of people sucked in with this fotoshop😂

Australia should be at the forefront of this as we are a 3rd world nation with a 1st world facade on so many fronts!

That’s an oldy but a goody, and so true👍😉👨‍✈️

The ingredients for a disaster cake are: single pilot, high pressure commercial operation, multiple distractions at critical times & complex flying machines…..add ingredients slowly and wait…..another cake will form one day, guaranteed! It’s human nature to er and there’s nothing you can do to eliminate it!

Id be sniffing around Sonex forums, not so much here. At the end of the day it’s just another plane. I own 4 diff types, (and drive high perf jets to bug smasher's) I simply adapt, pilots are meant to be be able to do that, don’t over think it!

If it ain't broke don’t fix it! We fiddle way too much with these engines!
