Why do we need 760Kgs? This just means a bunch of 50 / 60 year old aircraft that had previously been maintained by qualified LAMEs will now come down into recreational aviation and be maintained by the owner / pilot. Soon we will have aircraft falling out of the sky and CASA will step in and life will become more difficult. We are rapidly becoming GA!! Why do we need Controlled Airspace? Why do we need anything more than we have now?? This is getting out of control. Soon we will all be hanging up our headsets and putting our planes on e-Bay as we will be legislated, documented and controlled out of existence. It will stop being fun if we don't put the brakes on NOW!! Loneflyer

Ea-81 hp I had a relatively stock EA81 in my CH701 and flew it from the Atherton Tablelands in FNQ to SE QLD. Went like a dream till one of the conrods busted. Now I have some specially made Billet Conrods (the standard ones have straight edges???)and had to modify the case so they would go round. The crank is balanced and I had a special CAM made to optimise performance for 4800RPM. The heads have been done up very nicely and I run 2 x SU carbs. I have a "DUC" Windspoon prop and hope to get a consistent 100HP. It should be off the ground in a week or two. Woohoo! Will let you know how it goes Loneflyer
