    All easy to do. We are human.

    That would work for the Bush Mechanics. Shellac is made from crushed beetles, and they are already carrying the metho.

    Going from the Foxbat to the Vixxen they claimed increase in cruise from 85-90 kts to 110-115 kts with the same wing and engine, just cleaning up the fuselage and drag, with a lot of research.

    OME I call this nonsense. Are you arguing that the glide time before impact depends on the wind direction? Nonsense.

    Proboscis would be my choice.

    Surely where you are headed will always trump how far you can glide. No good gliding further to land in a forest. So wind influences your decision as to where you can get to, but that may be up- down- or cross- wind.

    If you have the aircraft details already in OzRunways then submitting a flight plan is just check the details and click.

    I flew out of Kyneton yesterday (Sunday) about 10.30am but most cloud was at 550ft AGL and I climbed through a large hole to the north heading for Bendigo but it just got worse so turned around and landed, put the plane away.

    There was a story some years ago about someone flying up Cape York who nearly became unconscious due to dehydration.

    Sorry about the format

    I flew into Albury for the first time recently and could easily have made the same mistake.

    He was about to land to refuel, it was reported.

    I love Ireland so we agree.

    This Badelf GPS is about to join my museum drawer of useless objects. It has the old style Apple plug. Is there any conceivable use for it?

    I have seen flies sit on top of my wing for an hour, then fly away after I landed.

    Old girl? Bite your tongue! She is 600 hours young. We haven’t settled on a rate yet.

    P92 arrived today and went into the hangar! Now for some RAA school activity at Kyneton.

    Where are the materials going to come from to make all these electric marvels?
  20. pmccarthy
    We bought a Tecnam P92, only 600 hours, barn find! You can all stop looking. 🙂

    I know a caravan manufacturer ships Aussie steel to China where the chassis is assembled and shipped back to Aussie. They don't trust Chinese steel but the assembly and welding work is fine.

    For those wondering what we are talking about...

    It all depends how deeply you choose to enter the stall to define it as a stall before starting recovery.

    I had no trouble doing this about ten years ago. But a friend recently found that they had no record of his licence, issued back in the DCA days.

    RSol is an unfortunate name.
