Yes, Receiving two channels. Generally Tx operates on the primary channel. Main and standby channels both receive. Sometimes called 'dual watch'. I have a (illegal to transmit) Vertex hand held that has this feature, and it would be a great asset to be able to monitor Area frequency whilst also operating on Unicom (for instance).

Looks nice. Does it have dual watch function, Ian?

Welcome to the forum. Good luck with your lessons. It's a worthy challenge, as well as a lot of fun.

NT, Thank you for sharing your story frankly and factually. You both handled the situation so very well. You are uninjured and your aircraft looks to have suffered minimal damage. That is a great outcome in a difficult situation. If you find yourself replaying the event in your mind, all I can say is don't rehash it. You did a great job. Your training came to the fore when needed. I feel for you and your partner, as media hysterics are, at the very least annoying. At worst they can be damaging.

Sorry we missed you and all those Others who decided that good airmanshiip dictates that caution overrides enthusiasm.

Saturday night there was a very nice, sociable dinner attended by about a hundred. Sunday was a good day, mostly sunny. In spite of the brisk wind across the airstrip, we had over 50 aircraft arrive. I think the coastal weather was unpleasant and this probably discouraged some flyers.

Sorry but RAA didn't come. Perhaps you could try phoning a board member for a chat.

The picture says it all.

I'm not trying to pick a fight, just curious as I'm trying to do a MARAP at the moment.

So let me get this right........ You have a factory built aircraft (25 reg)? You changed a motor for a higher powered one. It is still registered as a factory built. Did you go through the MARAP process for this modification?

The strip is good. Some aircraft have started arriving. At present, we can see clear air to the range. From here we can't see what it looks like anywhere east of that.

The Clifton fly-in is on 11th March. Run by Darling Downs Sport Aircraft Association, It's not an air show but it is great friendly destination to catch up with flying friends. Food, camping, parking, tie down area are all available. Funds raised go towards 2018 Junior Flying Training Scholarship.

Welcome to the forum

The Japanese avoid cultural clashes by having a single culture. The opposite to 'multiculture' which breeds dissent and encourages differences. It's easier to have harmony when we all sing from the same book.

Are you poking fun at our banana republik? Or our over officious party pooper force personnel?

How about writing it in the snow with a small snow blower? I've seen it done on the runway threshold very effectively with a ride-on lawnmower (summer of course), maybe something similar with the snow blower?

L The glider adds about 36kg extra drag.

, There you go, bringing sex into it, OME, I thought it was a short story about a dog. It started with his dramatic pause.

Interesting stuff, that basalt fibre. But you'd have to buy the good stuff from the Ruskys. Thanks for the prompt, Bex

Yes Marty. You nailed it. It's just a sales gimmick.

The Gr912 is not going to give you much idea of the SP2000. Different animal entirely. Your best option is to go to ALW at Ballina and fly one. Just my opinion. Have had a brief flight in each.

Would have been interesting if that headline had been shown before the election.

I feel I have missed something in this argument about rate one turns in the circuit...... If the there is a need to tighten the turn onto final, and the turn is coordinated, and airspeed is kept at the approach speed (nose down or throttle up), what is the problem?

A worthwhile read. Thanks for the link.
