    What you have said is the key word for all ! " don't forget to have fun" !

    Boy said to his father " when I grow up I want to be a pilot " father says " make up your mind son you can't do both " !

    There was also a Eurostar that encountered a storm in Europe and suffered structural failure, the Sportstar in WA was constant overload I believe ! Not the fault of the aircraft ! I believe these two happened the same year ! The Sportstar is a wonderful plane to fly and tempting to push the limits ! I owned one for many years and loved it !

    Thankyou , it was the one I read about ! Warning signs were there I believe ! Very sad all the same !

    What sort of aircraft was this ? I remember reading about a structural failure in a low wing LSA . If so I understand what you are saying about the dice being rolled ! I have been called a " Whooss" by many, a couple are no longer due to taking risks, when you take a risk or over stress a plane there becomes a chance that an accident will occur but it becomes a point where it is not an accident but intentional, it gets serious if you push too far !

    Oscar ! Gen 1 is solid lififter Gen 2 is thin Heads hydrauliclic , Gen 3 is roller cam follower with hydraulic , thin Heads and 7/16 through bolts Gen 4 is the latest ! Roller cam followers, cast heads, Nicosil type alloy cylinders, cast heads ! I think they have covered some ground and are doing alright but they could do better and they could communicate a little better too ! Not perfect but not that bad either ! I'm a fan of air cooled direct drive and think they are the best choice treated right ! I have a gen 2 and am happy with it..!

    I knew she had the plane long ago and saw the one nation sign on it ! No matter what ! she is promoting travel by a sport aviation aircraft and it should be commended ! You just don't like her and that's not a reason to be bring her into disrepute flying an Australian made sport aircraft ! If you have other reasons tell someone who cares !

    What's that got to do with flying, RAA and Jabiru ! Name someone who you would prefer to fly a RAA registered Jabiru around to gatherings ! I know a lot of a lots of crooks in politics !
  9. Camel
    I don't understand how anyone can see her flying around is an RAA registered Jabiru as a negative, she is involved and understands the RAA, she is actively flying around promoting RAA by just flying ! , agree or disagree with her politics who cares ! I sure a lot of people now wish they had a plane like hers !

    I'm going to guess and I'm confident that it is Hours Total Time Since New. TT is usually total time S is since and usual o overhaul, M maintenance, Be interested if I am correct ! 29 hours Total Time Since New sound unbelievable.

    FALSE: MH370 Pilot Mysteriously Resurfaces in Taiwan
  14. Camel
    So sad ! Only lasted one day I think from last spell !

    The culprits for this disgraceful behaviour should have been dealt with ! but they are still there and have gotten away with it and still able to do more damage ! Australia is not the lucky country any more ! Remember the bomerang logo "Made in Australia" seen it lately ? , Jabiru WAS a very successful Australian aviation business !

    I owned a Sportstar before and have read it before, here is the bulletin. Maybe it's the British laws as its say depending on regulations. As far as I knew it did not need any special person. http://www.evektor.com.au/public/editor_images/SportStar_Bull_011a_En_3000hourinspection.pdf

    So true, I go caught unable to continue a flight in VMC and was near Canberra and called and got immediate assistance, was told to sqwark ident and confirmed I was on radar, continue alt and heading, cleared to land at will once runway was sighted, it prevented me entering IMC and if I had delayed any longer I would have been in more serious trouble due to a storm and high ground, the controllers at Canberra did a fantastic job and very calm and reassuring, lots of red and white jets waiting for me to land.

    I also just joined ! The ASIC card is a joke ! I have had one from the start and no one has ever looked ! No pilot ever committed a terrorism crime so why are pilots treated like terrorist ! In London men hired a vechicle and caused terrorism and created havoc and loss of life ! Does that mean motorist need an ASIC ? I WILL NOT RENEW MY ASIC AND I WILL OBJECT STONGLY AGAINST THIS STUPID REDICULOUS WROUGHT THAT THE GOVERNMENT CONTINUALLY ALLOWS ! This current state and federal government are the worst ever in my opinion and I admit I vote for their team but never again ! HOW CAN ANYONE BE ALLOWED TO DRIVE A CAR, RIDE A TRAIN, TAXI, PLANE OR WALK THE STREETS WITHOUT AN ASIC ? WHAT A JOKE !

    For mode C out ? Will this still be required if mode S equiped in the future ?
  21. Camel
    Thanks for posting ! So is my understanding correct ? With both units the ADSB in and out plus position of other aircraft will show on a iPad or android screen that is being supplied GPS information. This would do away with transponder also ?
  22. Camel
    Like you approach ! Enjoy ! Always find a laugh or some good info somewhere here !
  23. Camel
    Yes, very interesting engine you highlighted Bex ! No Rick-Shaw's in photo !

    Don't call me an angry man you clown !

    Mr Capt Wally ! You try to speak as an authority ! You don't realise how uninformed you appear to me ! I think Riley is better informed than you are ! What does where he live have anything to do with anything ! The whole world knows about what happened to Camit except you apparently !
