WAC Surveyor: A New Drifter
Gnarly Gnu replied to fly_tornado's topic in Aircraft General Discussion
Any reason it is so expensive? -
Another good article: Drones are fun, until one hits you in the face. There have been numerous reports of injuries, even fatalities, caused by loss of control of an sUAV and some pretty harrowing images can easily be found online. Reported cases include a bridegroom who was struck in the face by a quadcopter flown by an adventurous [/url]wedding photographer , and the crashing of a hexacopter into the grandstand at [/url]Virginia Motorsports Park , injuring five. The second half of 2013 was particularly bad, with fatalities in Texas, Korea and Brazil and the horrendous case of a 19-year-old who died instantly in a Brooklyn park when the blades of his radio controlled aircraft struck his head and neck.

So you and FT will start an alternative well-run organisation right? Yet you were the one howling long and loud when Ed took action to get things done. I suggest you really need your own rec aviation show Don. It might be good. Maybe 760kg MTOW for starters....?

Yes, pretty sure there are still countries that would shoot people that come up with inane rubbish like this. The video forgot to remind the passenger to do a susu (peepee) before boarding.... have to re-shoot.

This is awesome, definitely post of the year or better.

Well that's a little nasty. Do you dream these up over a bottle of red or something....?

Welcome Itai! Be aware that some would argue Melbourne is not really part of Australia! Also SA has a different meaning here. All the best!

Ah that would be Civet coffee! Delicious I'm told...

Try the Chinese 'death simulator' perhaps?

That's $480+ per view. If it was India you would slip them $10 to go away yet our system is apparently not the corrupt one. Legalized theft up front.

This discussion is about ASIC not ditching your pilot certificate .

The government review recommended for most situations they should be scrapped so personally I wouldn't bother, just a valid company ID card with photo should suffice.

I corrected the headline slightly. The story is here: Grandfather falls from glider after mid-air crash - and lands in path of combine harvester

It's sad that we've gotten to the point in Australia we need to plead and beg for councils approval. They are supposedly our servants yet it's like a fiefdom. The bronzed ozzie surfy has become a fluoro safety shirt wearing serfy.

I get the impression that most of the leadership have bailed or been sacked and replaced. Seems a bit scandalous, haven't heard of that happening in amateur aviation before!

"Jaberoo" down (Mildura this time)
Gnarly Gnu replied to a topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
Here you go Butch, article about GM problems. Rental companies repeatedly warned of power failures and stalling etc for more than seven years before they took action... and so far recalled 30 million vehicles. -
Thanks Dutchroll, interesting & makes economic sense why they would prefer to shift profits away from Qantas which is in a government regulatory straightjacket to nowhere (not endorsing any potentially dodgy practices, just commenting on the economics). Never use Jetstar myself but thankful for the competition.... err against Qantas? Hmmm FT another advantage of democracy you enjoy is freedom of religion, here you are free to believe error.

Welcome Terry! Considered replacing the carb with an injector?

Temporarily ignoring the fact this was a mistake they immediately confessed to and seeing as you have contempt for the use of oil and the freedom of democracy - both of which you benefit from each and every day - can you advise the measures you are taking to be more righteous? You have stopped using oil right? Planning to move into a non-democratic country soon? Dutchroll - I'm sure you would know that Qantas loses money on many international routes so it isn't a matter of gifting treasures to your opponents when you are consistently losing money on them each day.

It's tottering on the verge of bankruptcy. I suspect even the resident serial killers may head interstate soon.... it's Detroit with speed cameras, baby.

I understood many are Russian soldiers without identification tags. They might be trained but drunk? But bex has apparently figured out it's the USA's fault of course, standard commie line again. Maybe the Jooos too? Illuminati? Newsflash bex Obama is simply too stupid for your complex plot line.

Plenty of aging curmudgeons on this site! All the best Rob, CAA NZ seem pretty cool to deal with from what I've heard.

Me neither and I live here...

Oh yes, handling enviro-nazis...
