Slots in pairs cost huge bucks in place like Heathrow! They are often traded between Airlines. Syd is constrained by the BS whingers around the drome! Inefficiency is something g Australia is good at!

Good update👍 At least it wasn’t a radical design, all they have to do now is fine tune it so the hungry Vans follower wolves can be fed a diet of metal and rivets👍😉They’ll sell like hotcakes👍

Remember it’s the Australian way of doing things…..as inefficient as possible, especially with ATC!

$AU220-250K depending on spec. That’s big bucks for such a machine that doesn’t get used here much as they do in the States!

Ive been in there a few times, no GPS App in those days, you picked your way thru the granite clouds!

Oh it will cost more than the Crown Jewels this new baby! they’ll sell zillions, the hysteria and colt following that follows Vans is out of control!😂I see it’s mostly a pop rivet job, probably a good idea👍

Ive done some driving in NZ over those hills (as per my pic y)in heavy metal and the scenery is spectacular, but what’s more amazing is you did it in a Jab, me takes me hat off to ya😉

In certain ‘flavoured’ areas around cesspool Melb it’s unwise to leave yourself venerable! Got right royally car raged once by the flavoured vermin who feature all too often on the news for violent behaviour! I only went to this dangerous suburb to collect an item for a mate but got targeted as I hoped back into my car! Was bloody scary!

That’s also a good story other can learn from. Your instructor is the one who puts a candidate up for test meaning you are ready, that’s not always the case.

Good story 👍 IFR flying is often easier from a procedural POV, providing you know your stuff and your ride. Plenty of Pilots from the bug smashers to heavy metal have stuffed up whilst taxying and even taking off in the wrong direction! An Arabian A320 took off the wrong way once! (YT vid on that stuff up!) we learn by our mistakes, just make sure they’re not permanent!

That’s quite an informative vid for the novice out there👍 If you are flying an airliner with just the RAT then trust me you are having a very bad day😂

Nah it was bloody freezing’😂

Two crew are better? Truck me! There’s more dead bodies in cemeteries from so called well trained two crew driven planes than any other arrangements! Accidents happen, it’s human nature and it will continue to happen as long as the species remains alive & connected with machines (which won’t be long if the Grubby Greens get their way!)

Today I was challenged not to thump some fool with 3 kids all under 5! having landed at a country drome for a coffee I taxied in and saw a woman of a flavoured nature (can’t say nationality as too many precious fools would get offended! But “ cowboys &……”s”, you know the rest!) walking around the taxiway in and around other A/C with lose kids, had to taxi across some ruff grass to avoid the fools! Once parked I walked over to the coffee van. Ordered then turned around to see said flavoured fool lifting 2 flavoured rug rats into my plane (door was open secured under the high wing), I started to walk over and noticed the controls bring violently moved! The other rug rat standing outside was swinging on the rudder! By the time I got back the kids were out of the plane and mum was gathering up the external control surface tester and walking off! I yelled out, ask before you touch, she ignored me and continued walking off! Inside the plane I had wet dirty shoe prints on my sheep skin covered seat and most switches in the incorrect position! Would you be happy? unbelievable! Wonder how said moron would have acted had I dumped a young child in her open top convertible parked on the side of the road?….grrrrrrr

Simple pilot error, too many make a big fiasco out of it! Humans make mistakes, nothing new here and un-fixable!!

Many years ago it was a circus at YMML watching the guys trying to get a stuck B727 freighter sunk on soft ground back to terra firma, took ‘em all day using anything they could find to stuff under the mains, was very amusing😂

Amazing what the human brain can come up with regarding an ugly flying machine!😂

Ok you gurus who have no life, just came across this ugly thing, what is it! Got a Wildcat type U/C, I have no idea?

I bet their tent at EAA this year will have a well worn track leading to the RV15 inquires🙂 The price of this delivered here will be ugly I’m sure! I think with a stylish paint job, some spats on Std wheels like the C180’s used to have would make it very appealing👍 Most people driving these types of planes in Oz rarely have a need for the large tundra type tires, it’s more a ‘look at me’ thingy😉

Found the link…$192+K….wow!

Thought It was finished, the links shows page not avail?

Wonder what this machine sold for?

It’s a hassle being in that other communist country to the west of Australia! 😉If it were close I’d take a look.

That’s very true facty. Saw it so many times over many years driving heavy metal! Sim sessions were at times, a real eye opener!

Like I said nothing new, same old same old but the hysteria will make it a success 👍
