Sumthin like this....

Geeez.......where do i start, just point em and go. They're good for 100+kts, 6...8hrs duration, comfy,safe,..........that's 4 reasons, toss in........you find em everywhere criss crossing this island, and that's a fact.

Could go on .......but i'm packing the ol girl ( jab ) for Qld, NT, WA, Qld.........be gone for 5....6 weeks, tiger country all the way.

i'd like to know how the R22 boys ( and others ) can do "distant" legs etc, with retaining 45mins fuel.

( another good reason to own a jab )......

weez heading off again.....soon, was keen to suction mount a gopro on the jab................wing,tail.......read they're good for 100+kts, what about 5.....10k heights ????

does me camera go missing ????.....like gawn.

Untill..............some "investigative" reporter/media organisation, gets a wiff of "a good story" here, maybe then our good senators will get reeeeel serious. Then just maybe.....the rolling snow ball could get real momentum.

other poss points.......springsure / rollston / dingo. ( all good strips, acomm etc, adjacent )

To be fair........the brand i used ( can't remember ).......i went exactly as per instructions, and at high revs wheels became out of balance, quite badly actually.

Maybe.....a smaller amount might be the go ???? . After 3...4 flats, in 8 mths, i bit the bullet and fitted 10 ply tyres. Zero flats since.

( btw... wheel barrow tyre is bigger than jab tyre.......just sayin )

Always......always, make sure you've got ample water. Any avail water enroute, is a bonus. ( if an unexpected outlanding occurs, you are going to be in trouble without it. ) Spoken from experience.

Sat ph.........must have as well.

"Goo" in small diam tyres does not work......at high rpm, things go pearshaped. ( i've tried it )

leather inserts..........don't work.

Trelleborg 10 ply tyres......so far good. ( jab size )

christ........it's guna be muskets at 20 paces next. ( spoze the lead ball could go that far..?? )

Which bloody part of 'we have the Spreadsheet' do you not understand? CASA commits a crime if it does NOT provide an accurate copy of its records in response to an FOI request, with redactions according to security/privacy/ Cabinet-in-Confidence / Commercial-in Confidence concerns.. It released the data under FOI last bloody August - just because it didn't happen to include you on that release list, doesn't mean others do NOT have an accurate copy.You are simply not sufficiently important that CASA automatically includes you on their list. Deal with it.

Prepare for the worst........the whole saga was flawed, from the beginning. The "spin doctors" may pull a rabbit out of their hat here. They have to, it's that serious to them.

( getting "exposed" is their worst nightmare, come true )

i'm in too........

"Turn the other cheek" "Assume the position" DON'T EVER , call them to account....................phew, it's mind blowing

If you are slow enough it won't float. Your engines idle speed can cause float also. Nev

From experience.........the last thing you want, is a "floaty" aircraft, when dropping into shortish rural strips. Even worse, if you need to final over trees. ( love me 160 )

How about one or 2 here ( that exhibit knowing what to do ), get your heads together, form the required request/s...........and get these "elusive" FACTS.

I would..........if i knew how. ( how matters have just flip flopped around for 12mths....or more, bewilds me )

atherton one is for sale........( was ex WA, sold to NT, now here )

This "saga" has rolled on for approx 12 mths, comments have abound..............yet, NOTHING has eventuated in a legal stoush. If............casa were truly ( like a rabbit, blinded by the headlights )...........helpless..........why have we not heard of these legal firms that operate " no win, no fee " attacking the jugular vein of casa. Why have we heard jack sh!t from any media. I'm thinking that just maybe, "they" are on safe grounds here....( casa )

just sayin........

The upcoming casa "spin doctors" are burning the midnight oil, to make us all feel..........they were concerned for our safety. it'll be a good read.

Heard recently, that a"jab" composite prop blade....(blade only) had shown cracking, done around 400+hrs. Any others ?? or is this just a beatup.??

If our own RAA management, with 4k members can,t get it sorted

( revamped ).........your "balls" implication sort of looses it,s sting.

It,s here, and it,s here to stay.......end of.

"Escort".........can see you waiting there, for god knows how long. ( they won't be happy .....asic folks ) The whole asic thing is a joke. ( entry / exit gates are coded, fences are 900

high or less, in places ) Have used many a asic airport, never ever been challenged ( several times forgot to hang it around my neck, but had it in cockpit ) it's total cr!p.

yawn.............

I have a Dynavibe ...and it really works I gather you have been reading the latest Sport Pilot mag
