  3. FAA Proposes Rule to Enhance Safety and Performance of Light Sport Aircraft Wednesday, July 19, 2023 WASHINGTON – The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is planning to enhance the safety and performance of Light Sport Aircraft operations. The proposed Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification (MOSAIC) rule would put performance safety standards around larger aircraft that innovators are building by expanding the definition of Light Sport Aircraft. "This rule will encourage manufactures to make Light Sport Aircraft operations safer, more versatile and accessible while maintaining rigorous safety standards," said Acting FAA Associate Administrator for Safety David Boulter. Under the proposal, the aircraft’s weight limit is based on its stall speed. By permitting higher stall speeds, the proposal would bring within the Light Sport Aircraft regulatory framework aircraft weighing as much as 3,000 pounds. This more than doubles the weight of aircraft under the current definition of Light Sport of 1,320 pounds, allowing larger and stronger aircraft to qualify as Light Sport. The proposal would also expand the type of aircraft sport pilots can operate and allows them to use their aircraft for a wider range of operations such as some aerial work. Although sport pilots could operate aircraft designed with up to four seats, they would remain limited to operating with only one passenger. The public has 90 days to comment on the proposed rule once it is published in the Federal Register. The FAA will publish a final rule and respond to comments after the comment period closes.

  8. I've had it and I could cope with everything (sort of) except for the sore throat (like swallowing course sand for 8 days) Wouldn't wish it on anyone.
  9. Hi Ian, Are you still working on Classifieds, Movies, Books and Go To Top Cheers
  10. Would anyone have or know of any Verner 133M engines or parts, they would like to part with.
  11. They reckon 3-4 months and 760Kg limit package will be signed off by the government. You will see a big increase in RAAus membership and aircraft registrations towards the end of this year and next year. It's about time
  12. I realsie I said yes to your question about stall speed, but according to the RAAus delegates that did a talk at the local aero club about the new regulation coming in with the 760Kg limit, they are also scrapping the stall limit requirement completly which means that the IBIS and many other aircraft will be allowed to be registered RAAus.
  13. This was a news report of the accident; According to the airport, the aircraft hit the runway harder than usual. The landing gear was damaged as a result. The two occupants were not injured. The aircraft was on the runway and had to be towed away. As a result, the airport was closed for half an hour.
  14. Looks like the laminated plywood bow has collapsed, probably from a hard landing; I prefer a composite bow
  15. Would anyone know of or have a set of RJ03 IBIS Canard aircraft plans they would like to sell.
  16. Anyone know what's happened to Wedgetail Aircraft, their web site has disappeared. Are they still operating ?
  17. Spot on Yenn. The accidnet happened at a creekbed at dusk and Kiwi could have disturbed some kangaroos or some cattle and rolled trying to avoid them; unfortunately we never know what happened, except that we lost a very good friend.
  18. I Don't know if anyone has heard but; Allan "Kiwi" Andrew from Old Station at Raglan, Queensland passed away late yesterday after an accident with a quadbike rollover at the Old Station property. He has been a good friend to a mass of people over the years and will be sorely missed by everyone Kiwi has been one of the mainstays of the Old Station Flyin since it's inception and is known to everyone that attends with his white Chrysler Centura Convertible attending to the smooth running of the many operations at the Flyin Fly high with your eagles my good friend
  19. I have a quantity of Brand New 6061 T6 Aluminium Tube (140mm D x 1.8mm WT x 5000mm L) still in the packing crate, if anyone is interested. Ideal for Tail Booms or Spars.
  20. I blew it. I should have put 2022 not 2021
  21. I was talking to Kiwi on Saturday night at a party and thats when he told me it will be on in 2021.
  22. Looks like the Old Station Flyin will be back in 2022, sometime in May. So everyone should have a smile on there dial; I know I have, missed it not being on the last couple of years.
  23. I do have a set of plans for the Mini Imp but I wanted to see what the opinions of other were about this aircraft. I prefer a 2 seat side by side, eliminate the tail shaft and make it a mid fuselage prop drive (belt drive reduction is all thats needed). The Mini Imp would have to be scaled up by 10% to suit my ideas and would still keep it nice and compact. Construction would be composite fuselage with metal wings and tail; engine 80hp On paper it looks doable.
