Thats the second question thruster. The first one is why include GA participation they have their own organisation to cover their own very differant interests.

A slepchev storch muster is one of those, mysterious mustering planes, and (fugly) is my one that I enjoy flying.

I like it as it is Ian and i,m no computer wiz so if it ain,t broke don,t fix it eh. Cheers Mick

Bloody awful news of the trike accident. Have the peoples names in the accident been released yet. I knew a trike pilot down that way and hope he was,nt involved eh.

The same malaise has infected the BFDU facebook site which is supposed to be all about off airport aircraft enthusiasts only  but has now got jewellery and anything else not related to the original intent of the site, its loyalty to the work done by Tim and his crew that keeps me interested in it Ian.

Ps in regards to it programers and their systems. I think the problem stems from the drop in used car values forcing many salesmen to change careers eh.

Jasus H Darwin how come your doing all the R&D work for this engine, get a jabarax and be done with it sir.

Your absolutley  right sir I never met the bloke in person but he was a gem of friendly and professional information that was very much appreciated  and still missed

Thank you for that info Jim, CASA certainly is the monster we thought it was sir as you point out, and yes i don,t use a spell check as well but the message remains the same, cheers Mick.

Ps G,day Phil  Childers Oz Stol was exceptional sir very well and safely run and a pleasure being their. Cheers Mick  (Isis flying club)

She was the real deal Craig a 1946 j3 piper cub fully rebuilt in1986 with zero modern shit in it except the radio and hand proped. The yanks built 19,600 of them to train all their airmen during WW two and alongside the tigermoth ( Commonwealth ) is still the penultimate training aircraft in my opinion. Give the modern shit a miss untill trained the old way is my advice sir and you will learn more and better. Cheers

I,m glad the guy is recovering and no one else was hurt. But the caviate I would insist on, were I able too, would be that his licence be canceled in definatley and forever, both for his sake and the general public.

G,day Hunsta, you,ve got the right training spot in picking Gympie i believe now all you need to do is pick the school with the right attitude for YOU.  And that does not necessarily relate to economy either.   I trained their in a cub and drove 180 ks each day eachway to do so,  but i wanted  to start at the start and with the best eh,  cheers Mick

G,day Ian, just a couple of points sir, the fact the you and many other pilots are thinking this is a valuable idea worth doing is indicitive of its self that their is a real absense and requirement for it, in my opinion. As well to even suggest that the forum has(run its course) is a nonsense also in my opinion, additionally I to, am one of the very many regular pilot participants that observe and NB without feeling the need to  post for various reasons including that the particular subject has already been covered nicely.    Please keep up your good work sir and thank you for the new Section

I did the obviously flawed and very biased trick survey and included a footnote on why that question was not applicable as a question but i do realise its directed to empire building, self intrest jobs for the boys directors who could,nt care less for what the members want. Cheers  Hargraves

This is the explanation by Mark Kettering the designer and owner of Aeromomentum. It gives a whole complete view of the why and wherefore of why he used the suzuki engine. He also compares it to the Viking. There are a lot of things that I had never considered before that he puts out there. To be frank what he has written makes perfect sense

Makes a great deal of the normally missing common sense Mark, i could,nt fault his explanation eh, cheers Mick

I think you may well be onto a good idea their Rom, when thinking of a solution to the very obvious push from the company towards attracting as many pilots to join regardless of weather they are ultralights flyers or not ( by changing the regs to include them ) your idea of various class,s determined by the combination of the aircrafts hp cruise speed and stall speed instead of MTOW would effectively ensure that those of us not interested in pseudo GA aircraft (and the reason we did,nt train for it in the first place,) would redraw the line effectivly for us without effecting the others or their ambitions. Cheers hargraves

Ok back on track now sir. Is their a contact email or ph number for them please.

Thanks LTF  is chapter 21 a book supplier like amazon and such

Thanks for that Yenn my email is [email protected] if you could let my know when and what not please. I,m using a make shift type format currently that I will transfer from when available. Cheers  Mick

Hi Ian, i,m not recieving the weekly site forums again same as happened last november. My email is   [email protected]  could you check the mail settings for me please, cheers and thanks  Hargraves

Hi their Yenn. i,m based at Elliot field near bundy and i,m chasing a fresh M/R form as well, would it be possible to source one from you when you order your own sir. Cheers Mick

Emuo, The solution is not to ( invest ) too much in either but have both, ie 8 meter trailersailer on a properly engineered trailer, not a (cost effective) production trailer. Costed after my refitting from racer to cruiser plus new outboard less than 10k + $70 per meter per year stored fully rigged at the club. And for the air a two seat factory built 1000 Lb MTOW  ultralight on a custom built streamlined fully enclosed mobile hanger that doubles as very roomy man cave accommodation when you get to where you want to fly, or not, depending on the weather less than  $25 k + $200 trailer rego per year $70 flying club membership and $400 aircraft and licence extrorsion fees and thats it. so $35 ks gets both + $1510 annuals. Thats not that expensive when you look at what some people fork out for a set of wheels eh.

JG,s stolspeed blog for prop comparisons on 912 uls is pretty much unbeatabble for information, an absolute gold mine of australian info

One of the better engine out vids (sick) that shows exactly why we are taught hight, equals time, equals safety, with no substiutes, hope they were ok, he was able to ask at the end so maybe so, cheers hargraves

I,m by no means any sort of expert on this subject, but for my two(sense) worth it seems to me that most are almost completley missing the issue, (as in being in a forest but can,t find a stick) as already correctly stated jet engine efficency has vastly improved over the last 50 years espessially in power output and emissions control, but does anyone consider why this is the case overall, in both nature and engineering you still don,t get something for nothing, the amount of oxygen required to burn that fuel and produce that power is exponentially a much more serious problem that any form of polution generated by it. As a complete layperson In the eighties, as now, it was once simlpy explained to me by a very savvy pilot, that if we could view oxygen usage by high altitude jet engines in the same way we can view the contrails they make, the (skytubes) for each would be hundreds of times bigger for each engine than the contrails themselves.    But then again I,m just a igorant storch pilot pickin on me tablet.  Cheers hargraves
