I'll second your objection. 

As most on here , fly only one seat filled .

Insurance against losing your house & assets .

spacesailor

I'll have check !.

I have changed the oil  twice . First was running in oil. Second was hours .

take offs nill. no blooody certificate . Just dreams with that motor running .

As per monthly run .

spacesailor

But those ' lower ' educated wan-a-be's .

Will still have big problems getting through their test's. 

Not just a safe pilot . Pass that " basic " then more & more ,tests keep coming. 

Is the ads-b .proficiency test on the cards yet . We can't have uneducated usage.

Like radio , must pass a stringent test . Even tho you have other radio transmitting licenses.  & still not from ground to air .

Like my CFI told me " I'm wasting his time " .

' netflix ' cheaper than a couple of hours gasoline.  And I don't upset the CFI .LoL

spacesailor

Welcome. 

To my world .

Love flying.  But can't do that bureaucracy. 

Education isn't good enough to pass those tests .

spacesailor

Yes .

I got that one some time ago . Then was asked for more " hands on " information.

That was from an administration officer,  who only has ' big ' plane dealings.

He wanted a " look-see ' at were he/they shouldn't tie a pull rope ,

W7hen dragging a ' wreak ' to safety. 

A little out of the loop nowadays,  

So, wondered if at an airshow , could an invite to SES / fireless, 

spacesailor

And ' at a particular time ' of year you will pay their demand .

Not a cent less or a day late .

So spoke god  (ATO) .

spacesailor

As an aside!.

The SES & Fieries have asked for , information plus training to deal with those,

Ballistic Emergency Parachutes .

I never heard anything being done .

spacesailor

That's were the Aussie Tax people . Are wrong .

They grab their tax & force the struggling company into bankruptcy. 

The only entity that forces you to.  'prove your Innocence '. 

In court .

Is there a minimum hight to deploy the chute .

The Hummel

Was designed to collapse in a segmented way .

As one survivor put it, " it seemed to collapse around me " . After an almost 

Vertical crash into a parking lot . ( https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theledger.com%2Fstory%2Fnews%2F2007%2F04%2F19%2Fman-crashes-plane-in-geico-parking-lot%2F25775409007%2F&psig=AOvVaw3RjsJqMgcYvwuZFrOwbkaG&ust=1712402161941000&source=images&cd=vfe&opi=89978449&ved=0CBIQjRxqFwoTCMCZiL_5qoUDFQAAAAAdAAAAABAE )

There seems to be quite a few ' Walkaway ' crashes documented. 

Even one in Western Australia.  Were I asked after the health of that pilot. 

spacesailor

Well here you go .

A brand new E-5000 Messerschmit .

A perfect city car With it's 70 klmrs range . on one battery .

$ 15,550 ( it didn't say Aus/Us ) .

Cheaper than a second hand banger .

spacesailor

How does a pilot with a brain tumour,  get to keep his licence , with the only ,

( to date ) . Infringement,  he must fly with a duly qualified pilot ,

Who has the ability to take command. 

Flying commercial, not passenger Cessna twin .

spacesailor

Three wheels , thats another economic advantage. 

As all , seem to replace their tyres by the due date , & not when worn out .

I haven't heard much discussion on other replacement by date car parts.

Like that carbon canister,  seat belts and safety ' airbags ' .

All have a limited lifespan. 

Those tyres for my neighbours Tesla will frighten him when they need replacement. 

spacesailor

I have a three colour battery lamp for signals.

You never know !!.

Loud hailer.

A long time ago I could have bought a ' brand new Jab ' . Cheaply. 

Made by a Sydney university as a teaching aid, then sold at the conclusion of the course.

And the cost to that University was less .

So another one for the next student intake .

Who stopped that great idea ?.

spacesailor

Are they that  important on circuits. ( hopefully no downwind landings. ( unannounced )).

No electricity in my HUMMEL-BIRD.  So hand held radio only. 

spacesailor

All  of the above, excluding two seats .

Took me to my Hummel-Bird. 

Plans built ( cheaper than made for you ) .

Aluminium,  easy to work with .

Fairly fast , 80kn cruise, 

Economic,  6 ltrs per hour .

Engine choice 

Wheels, td or trike,

And good looking.

PS  survivability 

You definitely would have to have a good deodorant. 

Or take that glass dome off in summer .

I have never seen a convertible Messerschmitt. 

spacesailor

Holding breath after the brother farted. 

I have many hours in a " A22 Foxbat " .   ( 30s )

Very impressed by it comfort , as well as ease of operating .

Would love to go flying again . 

BUT

As my. CFI says " I'm wasting his time & my money " .

It took a couple of ' blue years 'to get over that . & have not flown since .

A nice new hip, a prostate rebore , I'll soon be a teenybopper , ( as soon as I'm out of these nappies ) .

spacesailor

Ps , four words changed by AI

" own personal space ",

That is bad , your personal space ' ends ' when you get behind the wheel .

Road & fuel / pollution ! Get a " Messerschmitt " two seater car .

They were a comfortable ride .

I can imagine a row of them stopped at the traffic lights ready to roar away on green .

spacesailor

How many still offer that spare seat ? .

How many cars ' in the rush hour ' have but one person .

NSW has one lane for cars with more than.  one person.

And I know of a couple of drivers who have put " mannequins " in their passenger seat . Just to flaunt that rule .

spacesailor

Simple solution. 

As quoted 18 ltrs pr hour . Average .

 Make more ' ultralight ' aircraft . If there was a push,  to get small engined aircraft into the mainstream .

Fuel usage half that average ,  would surely reduce the '  c02 emissions. 

Back to " AUF " .

IT SEEMS, that higher weight RAA wants , it's opposite to what is needed .

spacesailor

The one who says " your aircraft " is not the master in charge .

So Says my instructor.

The original highbrid dog . Was for a " sight- impaired " person with an ' allergy '

to dog hair .

wally Conron of  " guide dogs Victoria,  crossed a Labrador & Poodle,  to invent the

LABRADOODLE

He now hates the bad use of his idea .

And , it's a green landscape,  looking great   ! .
