Plenty of home built A/C on the VH reg not certified under the banner called 'experimental'

Kinda set themselves up to fail! Swiss cheese you could say! Surprised old grumpy Dan put himself in that position!

Anyone floating around in here using a Plasma 11 elect ignition on a Lyc?

whilst its not doubt an interesting machine and each to their own but it sure is ugly:-)

Knowing the grubby head lunatics reputation 28 days would be conservative! It's not so much the duration but the threat that there will be more for as long as the foreseeable future!

Avdata, now there's a joke in it's own right! They send me invoices for fees/services that I never used all the time! A guy I know who spent 2 years rebuilding his plane had numerous invoices sent to him! I'll go out of my way if I can to avoid Ldg fees, sometimes a principle costs!

John I think you'll find its obvious that the guy got disorientated & over stressed the airframe. Ive got a few hundred hrs in RV's & it takes very little to get to VNE and then you are in test pilot territory! Sadly it will happen again, that's the ongoing tragedy:-(

Flash point of Avtur/kero in it's basic form is around 38degC. During fire fighting drills we had Avtur in a shallow drum with some rags, on a cold day you needed a blow torch to get it to go whoomph! Avgas/petrol however is a diff story. I treat all flammable liquids with the same safety level.

Avtur or kero (much the same thing) is pretty benign in most circumstances and far safer to handle & transport than Avgas/petrol. Ive been in & around Avtur for over 40 years inc handling it at the bulk storage level to too many hours to remember at the usage level, I consider it a very safe flammable liquid with having some basic knowledge of it's dangers.

You have to be in visible moisture in temps 10deg C & below to get icing. It's a very nasty business getting airframe icing had it more times than I care to remember!

just about any medium material could be used to transfer petrol, imagine the amount of petrol that gets moved around in backyard operations? Must be astronomical! It all boils down to longevity. Ive used plastic tubing for many years to move petrol, it's for sale as such at many places!

Yet another unnecessary tragic event:-( Family left behind will always wonder......why:-(

you wouldn't get me in a contraption like that if ya paid me! Just a curiosity thing with virtually no practicality!

are we really that surprised that the lunatic Andrews has once again f*cked us over? The grub will continue to destroy peoples lives as he gets off on it! At least the vaxed are sharing the same cell as non vaxed, i guess that's a consolation prize!

Boeing experienced first hand at how Lith Ion batts can make for a source of concern! With any technology comes risk. Batt powered flying machines will only be a curiosity for a long time yet!

User pays, when that phrase was invented aviators where f*cked! Airfields are a public asset, just part of infrastructure of any town, if you don't land there then tuff sh1t for the council, I don't use 90% of the facilities in a town if I drive thru but they are a community provided service/facility. I used to fly into two large regional dromes in Vic, sometimes buy fuel and spend plenty of dollars in the towns, not anymore since both the councils decided to rape the aviator!

Motion sickness can be brought on by a stomach bug or such other anomalies in the body, get a proper check up first then tackle the other reasons. I knew a sheila who used to drive Airbus's in my company & when it came to doing Sim sessions she was a nervous wreck, often becoming quite ill even before she got in the black box of fear, medically she was fine but mentally it was too much for her, after 1 year she quit, never flew again! Oh & she owned a 50ft yacht:-)

There are a lot of afraid people in here by the looks of things which is fine as that's exactly what the grubby Govt want!:-) It's about choice so until that choice is removed from us I'll still have to endure the same ludicrous restrictions as you jabbed lot:-) I'll await more personnel attacks, seems to be the Aussie way!

Something most never practice is flying at Vs inc full 360 turns using power & attitude to stay right at the stall speed which oddly enuf isn't the actual stall. Recently a fried bought an RV7 unfortunately with a training wheel (a very benign machine if you are confident) so I went with him as a safety driver, poor bugger I made him fly it at the stall speed +3 kts, he did reasonably well considering in 30 years had never been shown nor asked to do it! There in lies half the problems why cemeteries are full of stall/spin victims!

Until the Jab has benefits (other than the guessing game the grubs keeping pumping out!) I won't be getting it! So far we still live in a democratic society but that's fast being eroded away! And when we do go back into lock down which is a certainty knowing our lunatics those that have had the jab will be right along side of me, that part I love:-)😁

Why use full flap for every landing? I rarely do in my planes & even when I drove the heavy metal full flap was not always used. Low powered machines & high flap angles combined with poor ergonomics in most basic machines as well as very average drivers = high risk!

Cessna, no longer made of course, just ask any Journo😁

I wonder if one will be allowed to post here if unvaxed?😂

I avoid dromes where Ldg fees are payable as much as I can, it's a rip off, always has been but hey pilots are rich so lets target them as we/they have mostly a captive market! Grubs!
