there are plenty in rural areas. a friend of the family had 3 cessnas over the years. did a lap of aus. flew everywhere. never questioned or had a ramp check in his life. never had a rpl either, i don't think he even had lessons. the issue would have been if he had an accident with passengers.

there are probably nearly as many rec pilots flying unlicensed as there are licensed. no one evers checks unless something goes wrong. lots of pilots out there that haven't done bfrs for years.

who fines you 500 for flying without a license

they would never catch me. i can outrun them at 60 knots 🤣

all good . nothing wrong with robust arguments😁

easier to just go and fly , f###k the license. no one ever asks anyway.

i fixed it . left a 0 off.

if that engine keeps going the way it is it will be a good alternative to rotax prices.

3000 is for the whole course though.

well i rang them again today. the jabiru at moorabbin with instructor is $490 per hour. i asked him twice to make sure. that is a lot of money. the gazelle is off line.

2 answers for you. no 1: i don't give a flying fire truck what fuel 912s use or don't use. i simply pointed out the latrobe aero club 912s were on avgas until recently. no 2: i don't care what you do or don't do with your fuel. i just said look at it from the fuel distributors point of view. and i thought i was grumpy.

Hilarious, you need to tie this post into the never ending story😂

Just saying, lots of places are reluctant to be involved as soon as you mention aircraft. You think you are the only person that runs on mogas. When you go and buy your jerry cans the servo don't care what U do with it. You are asking a fuel company with no history of selling mogas for use in aircraft to send a truck out and fuel multiple aircraft ,of course they will Look at the legal implications.pretty stupid to think they won't. Our airfield has a new bowser setup with mogas and they have switched the two trainers, both 912 uls powered to it. Those 2 have been on avgas their whole lives and never have any issues. You would be better served to contact Wade mahlo at orange airport and see if he can help. He owns Wade air aircraft refuelling.

bugger. i think fuel companys would be reluctant to send mogas out to an airfield. leaves them liable if contaminants cause an engine failure.

good points. i have built and flown rc models but wouldn't trust myself to build a fullsize . i have tried selling my body at a heavily discounted rate but no takers😁.

absolutely no need to be draining tanks and carbys with avgas, definitely with mogas though.

mine is a jab2200. been on avgas since new in 2004

i never knew that. i only use it so i don't have fuel going stale and it has been run on it since new . i was talking to a bloke with an avro biplane , he said it doesn't like avgas because the lead builds up in the bottom cylinders.

they may say this is a flyin . aviation fuel is for aircraft. may i ask why you don't like avgas.

I run my xair on avgas because I know it can sit for a while without going off. It's a jab motor so it can run either. The $2.80 a liter makes my eyes water though. Lucky it only holds 50 lt.

You know all about transport. And you know a fuel company is not going to pay a driver to go out there if it costs them more than they make. I might be wrong, I am just thinking like a business owner

The rumour I heard came from casa but it is still a rumour. If anything does come of it how will it looks anyway. Maybe casa will keep raaus but get involved with running it.

A fuel truck is not going to go out there for a couple of hundred litres.

ukraine have foxbats, we have combat wombat

i have already said you should write a book or at least document some of your knowledge. it would be interesting reading.
