  1. The CHO won't be throwing his communist powers around without consultation with dopey Dan first and his boot lickers! The CHO is not a grubby politician! They all have to get together to work out the best way to get more sheeple involved!?
  2. Gee you guys are brave!?
  3. Won't download?
  4. If all these car engines where so good why isn't the market flooded with them.Jab, Rotax, Lyc/Conty should all in theory be going out of business???
  5. A good read? Fly long enuf and something like that happens. Airborne 10 POB in a PA31 just on rotation the lower half of the cabin door dropped down/open. I did the usual response, fly the plane, advise ATC then do a control check, all good. BUT there was a disturbing issue not mechanical related but the female pax sitting opposite the now open door was screaming louder than the two Lyc's!? Door fixed, took off again to complete the charter with 4 POB, 3 brave Pax?
  6. The guy ruined the flight/video, I was sitting on the edge of my seat listening to the beeping waiting!?
  7. I think my cat might have the virus should I shoot it like most others!??
  8. That's why I flew last time and this time? It's a choice, you either live in fear or you get on with life!?
  9. That's a nice Classic Wagon? Waco?
  10. Doubt that anything to do with a control problem, the guy didn't show any control handling checks which most well trained drivers would have, he just panicked. The fast landing I'd due the gear was still up till the last minute and the guy was panicking!
  11. A long time ago I witnessed a 'hot' arrival of a Mooney in to a grass strip, it was full of local newspapers country NSW. Guy lands down wind Space Shuttle App & promptly runs thru a fence at the end of the strip, he said his engine showed no oil pressure whilst in the circuit yet no mother indications to warrant a crash!?
  12. Good old dopey Dan has been busy making up huge amounts of Kool aid??
  13. Too true! There's a great YT vid of two guys coming in to land in a TB20 with the gear warning nown blaring away the whole time, they touched down gear up and looked at each other dumbfounded!
  14. The airspace is not closed. If you have current M/R in force then your A/C needs to be kept airworthy which would mean the engine is to be kept in serviceable condition, IE operated. I flew right thru the last debacle! Stay within the state of Victoria (the leper colony). If stores like Bunnings and other non essential retail stores are allowed open then the 4 reasons to leave home are a joke! You can now play golf, fish etc, the fools this time realised that some activities are extreme low risk!
  15. I could never understand the bogey-man hysteria about running engines on reg gas? Plenty of Lyc/Conty's are running on bogey-man gas??
  16. Risky contraptions. I always wanted to drive Helo's but when I got involved in A/C maint I soon changed my mind! RIP, sudden death is traumatic for so many left behind!?
  17. Spot on! The normal annual will not find such corrosion hence I had my tanks pulled! It's a well known problem in Pipers just like the now worrying spars on the cantilevered Cessnas.
  18. I think the bigger issue here is whilst flying along in yr PAxx knowing there is an issue with spars of the type in general is I wonder what my spar condition is like?? The second plane I ever bought was a PA28-140 but before I handed over the $$$$ I had the tanks removed and the interior gutted, cost me a few dollars but I sleep better at night!
