Not blaming GA privileges, but statements like Oscars post 891 and other posts on this forum advocating more privileges is taking us away from the RECREATIONAL aspect of our hobby . These pressures over the years have got us many privileges that we now enjoy, but I see the push toward GA as creating many problems in the future Mick Wright

I say again RECREATIONAL aviation is what Raaus is all about, the means to and end mentality belongs in GA , is this where we have gone wrong wanting GA privilages on a pilot certificate Mick W

refer the following Civil Aviation Order 20.18 - Aircraft equipment - Basic operational requirements (02/12/2004) magnetic compass required Mick W

\Belevelle washer have been used on wooden props for many years ,gipsy engines for one, use them so if it was the same engineer, may be he got the engine right as well Mick W

as usual iam a bit behind the times but there is already a mag called Rag and Tube put out by the Antique Aircraft Association of Australia Mick

all these changes to a certified aircraft, CAR 35 costs would be more than aircraft Mick

Raaus aircraft cannot be flown on a PPl only an Raaus pilot certificate Mick

unfortnately no matter how good the aircraft has been maintained or how good a condition ,it has not been maintained IAW the SIDs document (eg remove engine mount for ndt inspection 10 yearly . at this time they recommend (NOT REQUIRE) an engine overhaul) so cost of compliance will be expensive even without any rectifications.But at this time only applicable to aircraft maintained to manufactures mainenance schedule and as Raaus requires aircraft to be maintained IAW manafactures schedule__________________? Mick W

dont wish for to much cessna have just released the SIDs program for the 100 & 200 series aircraft if this becomes mandatory (as it is for those aircraft registered with Raaus) cost of compliance will make a lot of these aircraft worthless .100 series has 208 pages of inspections and compliance Mick W
