Just adding to this thread, after completing my navs and gaining X country, I decided to go for a flight around a familiar area but since restrictions were in place I went for circuits. X-wind directly across the runway at about 20-25kts and gusting to about 35ish kts. Managed all landings well until the final one. I had decided to end the flight due X-wind becoming much stronger. I made and extended downwind and final so that I'd have more time to set up a good approach. Approach good ........ flare good .......... touch down good .......... and then down to about 15kts (couldn't be exact on that as I was eyes out front at the time) and suddenly, unexpectedly (as would be the case) I was fighting to keep the aircraft from ground looping. I already had full left rudder but away it went. I managed to stop the loop by applying some power which obviously countered the X-wind to my great relief. Anyway all ended up stationary, up the right way and nothing damaged except pride, no ground loop but off the tarmac by about 2 metres. I pondered over this for a week and spoke to my instructor and an X senior Qantas pilot to get experienced opinions about the incident. I was questioning my abilities in aircraft handling but both suggested a freak strong gust was the most probable cause and the X-Q pilot iterated that one should never think that the flight is over until the aircraft is hangared, chocked or whatever etc. After another week of considering the incident I've now decided that a combination of strong wind gust and a relaxing of rudder at the same moment in time was the probable cause. I'll be a bit more wary next time.

So what do they call the ones with nohorns??

Or is it the Supermarine SEE THROUGH

Hi. Just read about your fuel lines breaking down. I'm sure you're already aware that fuel hose isn't all the same. However, there are several different types that suit different applications. Plenty of info on the web. Dayco are a good source of information. Being in the auto trade we see a lot of this sort of thing. Luckily they are ground bound. Hope it doesn't bite you again. Cheers FF

I think I suffer from depth perception ............ can't gauge the depth of the glass.

Just then the phone rang. CFI picked it up and answered. Hey peepols it's NASA on the phone. They just said they want RA Aus Pres to command the next flight to Mars. But they also said it would'nt be manned. Does that mean the Pres will ................

RXBRUMBY, Did you manage to get to Lake Eyre? How was your trip and did you get the fuel stuff sorted?

I know someone who has no control over there fate even when they're driving. I'd better not say who, she'll take away my flying stash.

There's a Lightwing at Port Augusta gliding Club too. I know. I tried it last week.

AvGas ........ MoGas .......... PUlp. What is recommended for a Rotax 912 or 914? Which fuel burns cleaner and leaves less deposits in the engine? I'm new to this game but am curious as to whether one fuel is better than the next. Anyone out there enlighten me?

Another alternate is Quorn. No fuel at the field but I could pick you up, take you in to Quorn, pick Prem ULP and take you back. Just a phone call to help out. 088648 6093 Regards F/Flyer
