Just wait a while rhsmcc the fun has not started regarding having these super professional paid directors. I believe you are correct we must have pilots at our board because the pain of ownership is real to them.. The "experts" will cuts costs put dues up all wit disregard to the pilots.. Who do not need the educated clewless brigade. Regards, KP.

Good to eventually catch up with you Don... Sorry I did not get those little drinks however they can wait with interest. I was very impressed with the safety manager keep it going Katey. Katey is not only safety however a great marketer the exact person we need.. Who we need urgently and no fooling about is a person who can do the marketing. Regards, KP.

M-man what you are saying is so very true and many people have the same view as you.. What the sad thing here is RAAus is a member based organisation and when there are no members there will be nothing, those office police people will be very proud as they killed RAAus. Regards, KP.

The pilot's average age is getting up there. However if the pilots age is getting up there, what is happening in the ranks of the instructors? The answer.. They are getting older as well. With that said,, RAAus would be better off implementing a succession plan to encourage new members and flyers.. Instead we have a big police man attitude with a big stick.. I can tell you that regime with make people run a mile, so when someone is thinking about taking up flying and is surprised/shocked with that rot they run away and never to return. Regards, KP.

Well Don I will not be thirsty, depends on the interpretations. ...........See you in Bundy. Regards, KP.

There is a D-Motor somewhere about Boonah. Have no details but what I have been told it is performing very well. Regards, KP.

Yes you are on to it rhysmcc the demon is in the preamble. This is all done with these in mind *Saving Money * Moving into the Modern Age * Smaller board.. There was one I did have a laugh at, "On an issue......If a board a member favours his state over the correct direction of RAAus this action is illegal" Well there will be/have been a lot of illegal things happened in the pasted and into the future. Looks like directors will have all the say and the members will just have to cop what they come up with. i.e. All the power will be with the select few. One good thing it is not through yet so we will not have to abide by it. At the moment we have something like this for board meeting, where the executive turn up to the meetings and the rest of the board are left out in the cold. This is all done under "Saving Money." We have to have checks on the direction where things are moving. Regards KP

That is fantastic to see Puk.. You are one of the early originals. Regards,KP.

Oi! Dazza, What are you on about, getting membership numbers lost.. I have seen whole plane details lost that is weight and balance and colour hence membership is only a small detail. Regards, KP.

Go to Kings Cross if you need a drag strip. Regards, KP

What you want the stadium at Wellcamp??? Regards, KP.

What better way to cap the footy season off.. Broncos and Cowboys in the grand final that is after the State of Origin.. Win for Queensland, if anyone has forgotten the answer. Where does the footy talent reside?? Even blind Freddy can see that. Regards, KP.
-
That is a good question Dazza... Who of the originals are left? Regards KP.
-
You are spot on Aldo. Regards KP

Encouraged and welcomed... Would be a start..... Those which show interest mentor them..... You those kids which hang on the fence like moneys in a cage, take some of them for a fly you would be surprised how many of those will take up flying. Regards, KP.
-
Geoff13.. You are on to it.. The number one thing which I have not seen much of, planning for "Succession".. To have a good succession plan we need young new members, not more old members as they get old too quick. Yep..... Young members with foresight will grow and give RAAus longevity. Regards, KP.

Get on to ACCC they can not refuse selling fuel,, Called Restricting Trade,, some one in a small town can not have that hanging over their head. Regards, KP.

You all are bragging how good the Camit engines are and none have done long hard hours yet, that is all what I was saying. I think I will wait till there are some big hard hours on the engines. Like school hours, then we can compare apples with apples. Regards, KP.
-
Oscar, Have a little think.. Are there any Camit engines out there which have 1k hours on their clock? I am thinking hours of take off and landing those normal flying conditions. Leave those hours off -- where the engine just sits on a dyno day in day out hour after hour I want see true flight conditions replicated.. If that is not the case there is no bragging rights yet. There is another point Jabiru are doing a lot of engine research... Regards, KP.
-
No completely different issue. Regards, KP.
-
Thank you Sue, What a great idea.. We will have some great history to look at. That will tell us where we have come from. Regards, KP.

deadstick Give me a bit of time...Will get back to you on that one, will ask the question. KP.

Sorry Phil -- I did not go into detail of which mod was involved I only took the two year bit on board, I was so gob smacked with the automotive oil issue, was busy gleaning the rest of the issue and wonder what else people do to Jab engines. Simply frightening. With GA the aircraft they are actually maintained by LAMES and getting away from the hobbyist. I can remember what some of the 5 minute experts did to their cars and a lot of their brain waves when against engineering principals. Now those people are older and are experts on aero engines. Regards KP.

The Jab engine issue...Two little gems have come my way.. This is regarding engine failures. First one:- (A complete engine Failure).The engine was pulled down at the Jab factory and the disassemble was witnessed by an insurance company as it was an insurance claim.. Reason for engine failure "Automotive Oil" the oils was sent to shell to confirm what it was. Second one:- Was being operated in excess of two years without the required engine mod being done. This was after official paper work being issued. We have to be a bit fair in this situation, because I have seen a broken Cat D11r and they are tough so what hope has an aero engine. Regards KP.

Good Morning F_T, What is the latest on Wellcamp? I think it must being going OK as you have gone quiet. Regards KP.
