It is indeed. If someone comes to me for a tailwheel endorsement and who has only flown a PA-28 I tell them to go away and do some circuits in a Cessna 150/152/172 for a much easier transition to the Super Decathlon.

Too easy with AT 11 marked on it just like an Airfix kit 1990 AT-11 Alpha-Jet 003

and on the north side the gates are open with nil security - I’ve been walking in every morning to airside (and underwing camping) for the bus to the admission gate where my bag is checked for guns and knives. Crowd line will be roped off from the flight line on Friday. Reminds me, I bought a kit at the show with a safetyknife so must take it out of my bag tonight.

Too late, 4 Aussies just spent a few days in San Diego.

Just decided last week to go for my 5th time. Aussies for Oshkosh group on Facebook is having a dinner at the Hilton on Thursday night - message me if you want to come along.I’m here all week, mostly at the Aerobatic Club Building.

A form to CASA will give you an RPL. Why is there a need to do those theory courses as they were done with GFPT and the RPL should have an easy transition to RPC?

PIPER/CUB CRAFTERS PA-18-150

With a bit of paperwork shuffling wrt RPC and RPL you could do the tailwheel endorsement in the Super Decathlon at Lilydale.

Come along to the trivia night at Events - Nextgennetwork - Ngn aviation trivia night melbourne - Aviation/Aerospace Australia

From CASA’s Air Display Manual: “Organised flying, including cross-country events, contests, exhibitions of flying or local flights made for the purpose of carrying passengers for hire or reward performed at a public gathering. ....... • Fly-in, Competition or Cross country event: A gathering of aircraft at an event or competition not on the basis of a general public invitation (A club event where no invitation is made to the general public [[similar clubs or groups exempted]) does not need to apply for an air display approval from CASA.”

Have fun! An interesting magazine article by a friend in a friend's Eagle which was built by another friend - a nice airplane - Flight Test: Christen Eagle

To add: we were obviously going very fast, from a gradual circling descent overhead Moorabbin, so quite different from the standard PFL practice with a glide approach. That word "high" was wrt the high speed and being able to ensure getting on the field, rather than "high" wrt my normal approach profile. Backup plan was to restart the engine.

It happened to me in the training area once. CASA FOI on board as my student. Turned the engine off, high short final.

Much written about this stall accident ... I suggest Tony Kern's http://www.916-starfighter.de/darker_shades_of_blue-1.pdf

Another one for you: I was a member of the ULAAA long before there was an AUF. Ultra Light Aircraft Association of Australia!

To add to that, I suggest that you ring CASA and ask - they are helpful and will organise for you to get your tailwheel and nav endorsements transferred too.

It is long overdue for this subject to be addressed in Australia. http://davidjpilkington.blogspot.com/2018/06/loc-i-in-australian-general-aviation.html

That’s the one.

I think it is the SA-III listed in this table.
