    Hi

    in Just Landed - Welcome

    Posted

    .. there are 10 commandments that will stand you in good stead throughout your flying life, no matter what you fly. Seeing as how you've trained in a Cub (who cares if it's a replica? There's no greater compliment than being copied) you may have already read them. But just incase you haven't, I'll offer the tenth one for your consideration -- 10. "THOU SHALT KNOW ALWAYS -- THE GOOD PILOT IS THE SAFE PILOT: It's better to be an old pilot than a bold pilot." ...

    C'mon Wayne, start a new thread with the list of the 10 commandments - I'd love to read them. Maybe we could even add a few extras! pope.gif.f606ef85899745c40c103dff0622d758.gif

    A PPG Video- Where birds pass

    Wondering on an Aerochute, can you turn the engine off and thermal or isn't the canopy as efficient as some of the PPG's?

     

    ... It would be one hell of a thermal to keep you up. The wing is just not designed to do that. Yet as inefficient as the wing is, like the C150, it is very easy to fly and very forgiving. ...

    I have had a few encounters with some strong uplifts (scared me at first, until I got used to them) but as Forex said, they really aren't designed for constant thermaling.

     

    If you do have a real interest to go Aerochuting, but can't find any locals, and you have a suitable property available, you might consider hosting a few for a weekend! :thumb_up:020_yes.gif.58d361886eb042a872e78a875908e414.gif

     

     

    POLL: The RAAus Magazine name

    in AUS/NZ General Discussion

    Posted

    If we are going to get pedantic then if we refer to Roget's Thesaurus and look up "sport" and "recreation" they both point to "Amusement", and all the definitions associated with that. IMO the words are frequently used interchangeably, so debating the "correct" name of the magazine based on the meaning of the words does not really serve a useful purpose. ...

    So ... are you suggesting we change the name to "Amusement Pilot"? :big_grin:003_cheezy_grin.gif.c5a94fc2937f61b556d8146a1bc97ef8.gif022_wink.gif.2137519eeebfc3acb3315da062b6b1c1.gif

     

    Would it be too cheeky to suggest that the name be changed to "Sport and Recreational Pilots"102_wasnt_me.gif.b4992218d6a9d117d3ea68a818d37d57.gif008_roflmao.gif.692a1fa1bc264885482c2a384583e343.gif008_roflmao.gif.1e95c9eb792c8fd2890ba5ff06d4e15c.gif008_roflmao.gif.692a1fa1bc264885482c2a384583e343.gif

    You've got my vote Bryon!
