    Plane drivers get checked on a semi regular basis, albeit most times poorly therefore slipping thru the safety net and I’m of the belief past 60 years of age car drivers should also be checked, annually. I’m well past 60 and would be happy to be checked for automobile activities as I am with my plane driving. The amount of crazy car drivers out there these days is insane! Plenty of crazy plane drivers also fly amongst us, see it too often!

    Whilst ADSB is an additional tool for SA it’s not the be all end all. The application/installation of so much attention getting gadgets now available these days to GA has had a negative impact as well, that’s keeping the eyes inside way too much! See and be seen using the eyeball Mk2 still works well providing everyone sharing the airspace does the right thing and remains vigilant. too many cowboys fly amongst us!

    RIP Mark Freedtone, out of Penfiled🙁 Stories are beginning g to build, low hour pilot, new plane (to him) and some rather lowish aggressive stunt/aerobatic flying, that combined with the type was not (if true) a smart combination!🙁

    Be interesting to find out if there was any ‘cowboy’ flying going on at the time!

    I think you missed my point, but yes little to clean IF it’s done after every flight😀

    What do you think LE’s mean?😂 If and I mean if (as I never leave my planes unclean) bugs are plentiful and hard to move I use water and a chux wipe followed by furniture polish, the cheapest stuff I can find. Being doing that for years on all my planes. I would use the stuff on the Bombardier Jet I drive but me thinks the owner wouldn’t be happy😂

    The canopies, LE’s and the belly gets a polish. Do it after every flight and there’s little to clean👍

    Ive used Dawn dish washing soap in the past with no I’ll effects. I no longer wash my planes, I clean with furniture polish after every flight, they never see water!

    124 KIAS @ 9500’ is and 145 TAS, GS 168 = approx 23 kts T/W👍

    Nothing like a 20+ knot T/W👍 hwy Skippy let us all known when you plan to land at any drome, give us a heads up so we know where to look for you in the circuit😉😂

    We’re lucky we don’t fly in the States! They are bat crazy over there! Compared to them our circuits and skies in general are M/T! SI App’s are (whilst convenient for most) bloody dangerous when you mix commercialism in with less than ideal WX!

    Rollo with a 120 HP donk that should make the pup just about perfect👍80 Hap I consider under powered, a Rotax 200 gee gee would be the sweet spot👍 Shame about the SupaPup with no plans, it’s the best little toy plane Ive flown, and I’ve flown many!
  16. Flightrite
    Oh ok, Snowtown rings a bell though. I try to keep track of all the Aero/SupaPups, great design👍

    Was that the one from up Corowa way recently?

    Donks 1& 4 non rev trust on the Dugong was mainly to avoid them being damaged and to save weight.

    Beautiful island/s NZ👍 Wellington however sure is a challenging drome on a windy day!

    Tigers would have survived longer if it were not for grubby Virgin getting hold of them and wanting to change the fleet to Boeing, which was gunna cost a bomb! Once the BS Covid hit the last nail in the coffin was driven home! Bonza really didn't stand a chance long term despite crossed fingers, the big players have hands in many pockets to protect their turf!🤮

    Same if they go under, legacy of a ‘protected’ industry!🤮
  22. Flightrite
    Does it matter? 😂

    Chemtrail trials between AD & ML, the general public just accept that the Guvmit do this for their own health and well being👍👍😉
  24. Flightrite
    Ya. Ever know what the grubby Guvmit are up to! “Apple” spraying!
