unless QANTAS is involved CASA don't care

power consumption in summer heat is through the roof, QLD exports power to NSW, so that's probably just Tarong running at full power.

you want to go via container? try a car import mob, they usually load stuff into the boots of the cars. your parts just need to be clean.

50% right

not really Wellcamp related but of interest to @mnewbery Departing tourism CEO hails Wagner's 'vision' for sector Tom Gillespie 2 minutes 9th Jan 2019 3:02 PM Subscriber only THE former CEO of one of the Darling Downs' competing tourism authorities has backed the two groups joining forces to propel the sector forward. Ruth Wetmore, who was the main face of John Wagner's privately-run Tourism Darling Downs for 18 months, today confirmed she had finished her contract with the organisation to return to work in Sydney. Ms Wetmore said she loved her time in the region, so much so she stayed six months longer than her original contract. "I had a one-year contract to put tourism back on the map. I feel I had achieved those goals," she said. "We had demonstrated to those who had been funding tourism that there was another way. "I did 500 one-on-ones with operators. "We got China here, we had international tour operators come through who loved the area. "I have been passionate about the region - it was an amazing journey for me." Ms Wetmore also praised the work of Mr Wagner, calling him a "visionary". "The bottom line is what I and John wanted was to give tourism a massive boost and let it continue in an entity that could be funded for the future," she said. Ms Wetmore's comments come as a major shake-up in the tourism industry looms, centred around the structure and leadership at TDD and the council and government-funded Southern Queensland Country Tourism.

you would think by 2019 Jab would come up with a reliable fuel gauge.

a layer of carbon fibre would work well

there had been a lot of rain out around Dalby leading up to the day of the crash, could just been a case of water in the fuel.

Rules Are Accasional ?

I thought the PIC submitted the incident report if capable?

they are looking very good at the moment, procrastinating a bit due to the complexity of the engine wiring

is there any better kind of money to spend?

what is blackwater called these days?

Warbird pilot sues organisers By Mark Price 4946 35 Regions Wanaka 1 Comment The pilot of the Yak-3 aircraft that crashed at the Warbirds Over Wanaka International Airshow last Easter is taking the show organisers to court. Arthur Dovey told the Otago Daily Times this week a writ had been filed in the High Court at Wellington claiming damages for the cost of repairing his aircraft. Mr Dovey said the claim was against Warbirds over Wanaka Airshows Ltd, which is owned by the Warbirds Over Wanaka Community Trust. Four individuals involved in the running of the show were also named in the writ, Mr Dovey said. Yak-3 pilot Arthur Dovey signals he is unhurt after the aircraft he was landing collided with a cherry picker on the grass runway at Warbirds over Wanaka in March last year. Photo: Stephen Jaquiery Trust general manager Ed Taylor confirmed the legal action in relation to the ''landing incident''. ''The trust does not accept the claim and will be defending the proceedings,'' he said. A claim has also been laid against the New Zealand Defence Department which had a role at the airshow. Mr Dovey and another pilot were asked to open the show on March 31 when two United States air force F-16s based at Christchurch were delayed by bad weather. After his display, Mr Dovey landed on a grass area north of the sealed runway, hitting two 8-tonne cherry pickers positioned there as part of the show's light aircraft pyrotechnic display that was to follow the opening. He was uninjured, but the aircraft was badly damaged. Mr Dovey maintains that during the morning briefing before the show, pilots were not warned of the cherry pickers and no restriction was placed on where planes could land. When landing a 1940s-era Soviet-made Yak-3, the pilot has restricted forward vision because of the aircraft's extended nose and three-point landing attitude. Mr Dovey said those named had until January 25 to lodge a defence. A Civil Aviation Authority accident report on the crash is being prepared. Mr Dovey has been flying for more than 50 years and has owned the Yak-3 for about 13 years. It is one of fewer than 10 in the world still flying and is estimated to be worth well over $1 million.

this is why you are so unhappy, all day surrounded by box tickers

the ethical dilemma is this, do you go to work and follow the safety rules and risk your promotion or do you ignore the safety rules and risk being injured but also get promoted because you work faster?

there is the ethical dilemma

safety works both ways

just put search alert on gumtree

there is one for sale on Gumtree

I think they only work if there is a ground operator and also not much good if the drone is moving fast

they haven't used pressed cranks on bikes for a while now
