powder coating ?

huge difference.

the original owner can be trained in it.

now i have learn't that i can train in a 19 after all. apparently once you transfer a 19 or 28 reg into your name you are automatically classed as the owner builder. i don't know why other than it being raaus way of saying you are fully responsible for the upkeep and airworthiness of said aircraft as opposed to a 55 or 24 which can only be repaired by an authorised person .

ok. i never knew that. its just so convenient for online shopping.

can you do paypal

i was just thinking that😃. apparently i made onetrack sad with my casa comment. sorry ot .

it is 95.55 but its raaus who i am a member of . i don't care about casa.

Don't piloted aircraft already supply remote communities with higher speed and much higher payloads.

You only have to contribute to the building of it . Not 51%. I am not talking about hiring the plane out. I am talking about training in your own plane. My problem with the rules is why can't I fly solo with the instructor on the ground. But there is no problem with me taking the instructor xcountry or for a passenger endorsement. Makes no sense.

I wonder who came up with what I mentioned. How can it make sense not to allow solo training but allow instructors in the aircraft for endorsements.

Yes. My argument is raaus won't allow me to solo in a 19 reg if I didn't contribute to the building of it. Yet they are happy for me to carry an instructor for the endorsements. This is raaus not my instructors. They are happy for me to use my plane but are not allowed.

A minus for raaus for me is they told me this week I can't use my xair to complete my solo training because I wasn't involved in the building of the kit. But I can do my endorsements in it. That is silly. They won't let me fly it solo but are happy for me to carry the instructor around for the endorsements.

That's what I was thinking when I watched the RC video with the pilot view the other day.

At least it wasn't a Cessna.

On my jabiru powered xair if you push the throttle quick it will compress the nose wheel suspension. And you can make it hop off the ground by cutting the throttle abruptly at about 20 knots. There is lot of leverage when the engine is mounted so high.

raaus had group g in its grasp and now casa has thrown it out the window with this new medical. i guess the only advantage with raaus is the members insurance policy.

brp never stopped making 2 strokes, they are called rotax now instead of evinrude but i think they use the etec powerhead and fuel system.

you need to put a jabiru in your profile. you haven't owned that thruster for a while. it belongs to another member of the group.😃

i was going to buy it but decided to go for a nosewheel instead.

Yes. It is the original factory build. It's in most of the aeropup advertising. Even aeropup Spain used a picture of it . It had a Subaru in it before. Nice plane.

Has that got a jab 3300
