Im glad Im not caught up in this s@#t fight. I feel sorry for you guys that are & I know some of you have posted on the forum that you will continue to fly. I hope you guys really consisder your actions by posting your intention to fly an unregistered aircraft on the forum for the world to see not a smart move. Just ask yourself would you drive an unregistered car on the road??? . Remember CASA do ramp checks. Dont think because you are in a little rural airfield they wont bother you!

I think the longer this goes on the more likley hood the inspectors will be out in force. I know its frustrating but please stop & think! Hopefuly this will get sorted out real soon.

Welcome Phil this is why I enjoy being part of this forum doesnt matter where in the world you are if you need to find out about anything aviation you will always get an answer here. Enjoyed reading all the posts for this thread.

Well done to everyone.

Cheers.

That's really good ! Your extra fuel capacity compared to mine gives it great range (er, which I guess is handy in Oz :-) ) Mine runsReally well, although I seem to get plagued by punctures. (No jokes about hard landings, heard 'em all ! ) I'm just lucky like that........ I've been wondering about sticking some bigger tyres on her for rough strip work, not sure how much of a drag penalty I'll get.... Here's a photo..[ATTACH=full]19892[/ATTACH]

Yeah I have a 38 pitch prop I built mine the 80lt tank is standard for Australia. Max weight here is 540kg

Ouch !! I can just about feel the pain in Scotland. My sympathies. You weren't stamping on the rudder pedal too hard, were you ?The Hanuman (or Hawk, as they call them over here) is indeed a great aircraft. I have always flown ultralights, but the Hawk is the first one I've owned with plenty of speed, legs & comfort. Has yours got a Jab up front ?

Did you build your Xair?

Hi all, Bruce here, currently flying an X-air Hawk (Jabiru), lovely machine, from Longside airfield in Aberdeenshire,Scotland.

Cheers.

There you go!!

Why go chasing through the SAAA? The contacts for him are on his AeroV website...

They are gorgeous. I still want one.

Cheers

Thanks Alan. Its good to meet people in person with whom you chat with on this forum. Had a good flight back a little turbulant coming back into mittagong the plane handle it really well, very pleased with how it performed.

Keep saving those $$ mate your turn will come.

Cheers

There are a fair few aircraft from Mittagong heading up on Sunday.

Should be a good day weather wise, fingers crossed!

Camden or even Pipers Airfield out at Bathurst.

This is Des Porter's Dragon. Very sad news hope all are ok.

SAAA seems like a much more friendly organisation than the RAA, seems like everyone in it has a common focus on having fun.

10 year old! How many landings in that time.

In my workshop I use turtle wax. Most polishes have silicon in them. If you need to do touch ups just wipe the area with a wax & grease remover before doing the touch up. tonkariaviation.com.au

This bird just lands it self.

Hi Jim, what's the chances of a controlled airspace endorsement for raa? I have plane with radio and transponder and all the bits. We should be able to do a controlled airspace endorsement, just my thoughts.

How easy do you find operating the 'folding wing' arrangement on the X-Air "H"?

1st picture shows elbow & safety cable

2nd picture is wings all ready for mounting

3rd picture is the cross tube where the elbows slide onto the safety cables are attached to the 2 bolts in the centre of the cross tube.

Cheers

Never use a spell checker on the computer always have a dictionary on my desk.

Well done Louis nice pictures. Late afternoon flights are a great way to end the day.
