We are wireless these days and the 4G speed is better at the farm than in the Adelaide suburb.  Sometimes it doesn't work at all in Adelaide until I wander around the house with the mobile hotspot looking for a better signal. The spot changes, which was a mystery to me until I read that they turn off towers when it suits them.

 

when a tower gets overloaded they drop off clients that have access to other towers. your 4G tower out in the sticks probably only has a few passing cars on it most of the time.

I'm on the NBN since 2012 and its a huge step up from the ADSL2 I had before, rock solid for years at a time

@derekliston has agreed to follow this project

its inevitable that the RAA does what its told regardless of what the members want. the only control the RAA have is the $5 or $10 yearly increase in fees.

How does anyone "fix" a drought?  Through Geo-engineering perhaps?

 

get Barnaby to have a look at and he'll tell you he's doing everything he can to fix it.

That's more like it fly, as it happens I come from out west too, and have lived in Sydney and near Melbourne.  Small World.  Where are the cow cockies from out west?

 

happy that barnaby fixed the drought

I was unlucky enough to see 11 people killed at Reno but I can't remember the last time I heard of a plane killing someone on ground in Australia

I live in toowoomba but most of the oldies I know in town are cow cockies from out west or from sydney or melbourne

 And I'd still like to know whether you actually live in Toowoomba because we might have a lot of shared friends.

 

most likely not

solar and wind are pushing the price down but that's just leading to bigger margins and bigger profits for the network owners

HKS went out of production after Fukushima when electricity prices spiked, I think its finally died now due to a lack of suitable airframes

that's the beauty of privatisation, wholesale prices go down and profits go up. have you seen https://opennem.org.au/energy/sa1/

SA producing so much power now that the wholesale price goes negative

How significant is the risk to others of recreational aircraft hitting them?

 

has anyone not involved ever been hurt?

 

would they have not been hurt if aircraft was 100kg heavier or traveliing 3kt faster?

 

Risk assessment appears often based on what someone or public thinks might happen

 

when was the last time an RAA aircraft killed someone on the ground? its an abstract risk

I opened that up thinking that they would have clarified the statements that make regulations but its just a continuation of the same faulty language that plagues aviation

I don't see what the issue is, once the building is built, the council has to have a tenant. If the locals make it look like a bad idea to the council, you might miss out on a very nice new clubhouse.

of course not

Its hard to justify the investment in new facilities at the airport when GA is declining and unlikely to change or without a customer. I'd say RMP have approached the council looking for a facility to rent and the council are satisfied RMP can pay the rent for the next 5 years. Apart from them being Indian, I can't see what the problem is.

mike has plenty of money, he'll rebuild Draco better than before

Whose money do you think they're using Bruce?  

 

At the end of the day, ratepayers are probably being defrauded.

 

council are spending council money to develop a council asset. if RMP leaves the airport everyone gets a nice clubhouse, if RMP makes a go of it then the council gets its money back through rent. I don't see what they issue is

at the end of the day, the council are providing your airport with a nice new shiny clubhouse (eventually).

To the point that I still have no idea ?

 

After a bit of looking around im thinking of an Ender 3 . Seems good enough for what I need it for ?

 

if you go onto thingiverse.com  you will find dozens of upgrades for the ender3

there are a million people doing 3D printer reviews on youtube.

boeing pilots are not co-operating

https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/max-top-pilot-takes-the-fifth-over-document-subpoena/

pricing the magazine to reflect the true costs of production and distribution isn't a bad thing. I think its obvious that most pilots would prefer a cheaper online solution.
