Found these E-Books

They are for sale on Amazon for 0.99c (assuming usd)

Seem pretty basic but for 0.99c????

Return email from LGT Aerospace

Plans are not available at the moment. The new Stratos is currently being built, it will confirm the aspects of the design and drawings before any commercial sale will take place.

Thanks

I'm sure this has been asked before but I am asking again

Had a play with a number of P.C.(windows) based flight simulators

Admitably where not full versions (or where pirated (not by me)) wasn't that impressed

But not being bitten by the flying bug again and seeing this

Wondering it is really a learning tool or a game??

Search for the thread on this forum some years ago and it mentions www.lgtaerospace.com

A thread here a few years ago where Ron Ligetti posted the website for the open source project. iPad won't let me paste the link but easily found with a search.

http://www.ligetistratos.com

Link is dead

You got pictures, how hard could it be?

Yeah Thanks PA

Seem a far bit of info around on this machine

And the plans are suppose to be open source but just cannot find them

But can one do the course or the online exam without being a member??

Turn it up I like this song

Yep, your right ,,,it does sound like a silly question

But is it???

Care to share your thoughts

Might sound like a silly question but think about it

My questioning is unrelated to aviation but similar

Why does one need to engage a pilot with instructor rating to teach one to fly to obtain a licence or certificate

Why can't one just get a local pilot with x amount of hours to instruct one

At the end of the day you do not need a professional driving instructor to teach you to drive a motor vehicle your parents or an experience driver can teach you

Thoughts please

Is any of this going to change come 4 December

You wish! You'll still have to pass the ATO test of the expenditure must be with the intention of using the qualification increase your ability to produce income (that we can tax).

). And, if you use an RAAus PC in an RAAus aircraft to produce income - then you fail the CASA test of your flying cannot be of a commercial nature, (training excepted). ,,

I advertised the Corby with RAAus and within hours had a reply asking about condition and price etc.Gave him that info and he gets back offering more than I was asking. Just send him my bank details and it is sold.

Has anyone else had this experience?

Yep then he will tell you he is on an oilrig and cannot pick it up

Asks you to forward some money via western Union to pay a carrier to pick it up

(or something simular )

You and never hear from him again

Well documented scam

Like this one

Google Oil Rig scam

. it is about time the powers to be ( government ) started to do something about scammers

At the end of the day the person gave the funds over willingly making it a perfectly legal transaction

No need to sign up. There is a thread going at the moment about this. Yep there is some really helpful people on there and some pains in the neck types and the odd inflated ego.

DoAlso, does anybody have any more info on this rumoured GA recreational heli license system that might be being introduced?

The rumours become true on 4 December 2013 there will be a RPL!!

Look up bladeslapper website...the forum has done this 'it's cheaper to train overseas' topic regularly over the years.

My experience is they aren't the most friendly bunch over there

What Brand of Tin Snips do you use

I'm told WIZ snips are good

But heard elsewhere not to buy any with a serrated cutting edge that the Wiz

Brand do??

I recently did a ring/Email around locally as the cost of lessons for rec certificate

and to my surprise the local aero club was one of the most expensive

I thought clubs where formed to keep costs down and make things easier??

At the air show at Avalon this year there was an Aircraft on display I the SAAA tent affectionately know as the Flying Paperclip

Anyone know anything about this??

Dunno about these but plans listed here

The DVD "Scratch Building Basics for Metal Aircraft" would be a great help for you

And as Marty said there are other DVDs available and some are instant downloads like here

Maybe contact your local chapter of the SAAA

Recently looked at some Sports Aircraft Association of Australia Magazines

Wondering why all the homebuilt aircrafts in there are VH registered

And where does the SAAA fit into the picture is it worth joining the local chapter a recreational Aircraft builder

Long shot

But is there anyone on here that was involved with the club

Have a look at XCSOAR its for Gliders but worth a look

I recently asked on a Helicopter Forum as to what Licence is required in Australia to fly a AW95 (Which is a very basic scratch Built Helicopter) Just a general question out of curiosity

All I ended up with was a lecture on the dangers of flying without training was labelled a PEST and told to go away and stop posting stupid posts

When I replied to defend myself my posts where deleted????

I was asking about licenses not building????

Some weeks later I Joined a glider online forum and asked about plans

(Google glider plans and all you get is model plans (Radio control type))

Got a simular type of response (Admittedly only for 2 members) who posted the notion of scratch building a glider was STUPID !!!!!
