.....but you can't get that RV smile in a C172 in a hangar no matter how hard you try!???

"Just culture" is a fancy feel good BS in the aviation industry, designed to make you feel good for being human, only trouble is the 'big stick' approach is just lying there below the surface!

Well said? couldn't have said it better myself,

Better explain that to the families of the deceased Lancair pilots!

Im getting another headache??

Yenn standing on yr nose vertical must have been scary! No doubt ugly damage as well! Big $$$$$$!

What's that old saying 'OME'? ....you can't be just a little bit pregnant?

Oh that's true 'Facthunter' the fin/rudder could be destroyed but if that where the case then having any form of escape device to be used unassisted is pretty much academic as you would be U/S like the plane!

Always find it amazing the yank drivers use such lazy R/T proceddures

Yeah thru the main spar!? Not possible. You are inverted in a now semi crushed cabin, a small space and with a high probability of being injured badly. I've drawn a line from the spinner back to the top of the fin/rudder or the roll over bar within the cabin of my planes and it's not pretty! I accept that it's a risk to fly such machines.

Well said?

Conventional U/C for me, slider only. I wouldn't fly a training wheel version of a bubble canopy, personel pref only. I carry two canopy breakers.

There will be lots of dead buggies that's for sure!?

I wouldn't fly in any Airspace without 2way Comms, just too dangerous for my liking! Radio should be mandatory in any machine that leaves the groundM

You sure would want good survival gear in that tiger country!

What's the Bristol aircraft you speak of? Rather a broad statement re RAAus A/C? Do you really believe all others users should not fly their planes, 1000's of them!

I know it's not odd but I never knew they had such a model?

Looks like CASA have uped the anti on the Britell saga, getting very interesting!

People feeling unwell with flu like symptoms still should have the choice to seek medical advice beyond what we normally would do this time of year. You cannot force someone to get tested!

EM-11????

A mate if mine has what appeared to be Mylar strips painted the same as the plane that are glued on the wing ahead of the ailerons and on the tail-plane ahead of the elevators, they simply rub on the moving control surfaces, upper only, factory fitted and after 7 years and 500 hrs look like new!

Lota drag from those flaps ??

Don't let dopey Dan read that, we'll pay for it even more!

The biggest cause of death in accidents of any transport type is blunt force trauma. That's the force you need to reduce, if you can. I always find it amusing that A/C manufacturers quote their cabin is like a safety cage, their seats are designed to absorb 20+ G impact forces, great the seat is intake but a 6ft person is now 2 feet shorter!

Noice? Don't need much clear ground to put one of those things down I'd say??
