> far safer up there than you are on the roads I've heard that a few times and would love to believe it. But the stats say that RA flying is at least several orders of magnitude more dangerous than driving in Australia. One in a thousand chance of getting killed per year? That's dangerous, very dangerous! It would be nice to think it's only the cowboys who crash, but this is not true either, in my experience. Unfortunately for some of us flying is irresistible, despite the risks. But let's acknowledge the facts - it's bloody dangerous! DD

>Yes the trike accident was fully explained on this forum by the other pilot No substitute for proper investigation, transparent reporting of the findings and a comprehensive database of all accidents. We need this. With something as inherently dangerous as flying we need to manage the risks appropriately. To do this we need as much information as possible. I was quite shocked to find that RA accidents are often investigated by non-specialist police, and RA Aus doesn't maintain a database. GA does -- so should we. DD

Thanks volksy!

Hi everyone I'm bumping this, because I'm still looking for syndicate partners. A Jabiru 160, 170 or similar aircraft would be great, but I'm willing to consider any ideas. Happy landings to all Greg

Hi Dave, replied via Profile Post. Greg

Gooday folks I'm looking to form or join an aircraft syndicate. Ideally I'd like to acquire one of the Pipistrel motorgliders, but I'd consider another motorglider or even another RA aircraft altogether. Best wishes Greg [email protected]

Gooday everyone, I'm Greg. I've flown gliders a bit, and a little bit of GA (GFPT), now learning RA with Snowy Aviation Academy. Hoping to join/form a Jabiru syndicate. Thanks to everyone who's posted useful information on this site - you've helped me decide what to do next with my flying. A flight in a Jabiru helped too : ) See you round Greg
