Hi Bruce, I've got a Round Tuit, had it for years. Where about is your block of land? I am building a new house near Lithgow, so might be handy strip to know. Will your strip be capable of handling a Sonex by any chance, nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

Where is the other strip to the north of the highway? I know there is a model aeroclub strip there. I will be moving out to Bowenfels in a few months, so would be good to know?

I must get my eyes checked then, they obviously aren't as good as yours p :private eyes:kemon.

Glad to hear it from the horses mouth slarti,this was my observation, not pointing any fingers. I wasn't going to mention names anyway. It certainly was spectacular from where I saw, I can only imagine what it was like for you guys. It takes courage to admit your errors and in an open forum especially and for that I have the deepest respect for. Steve

I cant confirm at what height engine failure occurred, but suspect he may have been on cross wind leg, possible on 500 foot circuit, it certainly wasn't a low to the ground turn back. I agree with you comments about about turning back at low heights but think in this case it was done safely.

Glad to hear she is still with you Guernsey, I lost my father in January due to a heart attack, unfortunately we didn't get a second chance. I still cant believe he has gone, only 66. Just retired from a life time of military/international flying.

The Dig Tree, near Innaminka, getting pretty hot by November. You wouldn't need much camping gear, just a tarp over the wing. Steve

I agree winsor, it was well executed. How was the trip home? Thanks for the tent, the young bloke has taken ownership, he loves it. Cheers Steve

A Bantam suffered an engine failure on RWY 23 Sunday morning, turned back and landed in the Aerochute area, west of RWY 36. I watched it all. Some other interesing things I saw over Natfly weekend, a GA tail tragger doing run ups near camping area, blew someones tent rolly polly down the camp ground. Someone took off with a wooden control lock still attached, luckily fell off and found on runway. Watch 2 aircraft takeoff on RWY 36, dispite a good tail wind/ crosswind, first 1 departed ok, but 2nd one almost became a statistic. He rotated, weather cocked, bounced, rotated, weather cocked bounced all the way down the strip, finally got airborne then dropped right wing doing a knife edge impersonation before levelling off, I thought he was gone, it was scary. I thought I saw an amphibian go down, but was relieved to find out he was doing a touch and go on lake north of the field. An interesting weekend to say the least, now dont get me going about the Air Museum.

It is also believed that copper wire was invented by two Scotsman, fighting over a penny.

I just go with the flow.

Hi LD, Just create a playlist with the songs you want to listen to, very easy to do. Just touch bottom left of screen(3 lines), then 4th icon to the right, then create you list from there. When you want to listen to them, just select your play list. Even I can do it. Steve

Hi Frank, I found the video on yahoo7, clicked on share, then save. When I go to embed it into the post it is there, but disappears after I post it. I am not too sure where it originated from. Thanks Steve http://au.news.yahoo.com/a/-/newshome/9102951/video-captures-us-plane-crash PS: Thanks slarti, it is the same one.

Help please, I am trying to add a video. When I add the video clip it appears but disappears after I submit it, dont know what is happening.
