Frank, I agree and choose only to read the posts that are relevant to flying (and some of the funny,s) BUT unlike Facebook you can discuss other topics and usually not get blasted by other users ,we agree here to disagree Cheers Gareth

Going down Friday leaving Sunday(weather permitting ) cheers gareth

HITC, as a retired boilermaker /welder your work is pure fabrication porn to me , your methods and fab/welding is perfect ,top marks and your project is looking superb ,cannot wait to see your end result , by the way i am retired and if you need a help with when two sets of hands are needed just holler and will be delighted to help cheers gareth

No,its further south,slightly inland cheers gareth

I don,t know that Kaz private strip and unless reported ? cheers gareth

this one

down past the tv towers lane , sorry Kilcoy came into my head should have been Morayfield. are you going to the Gympie Brekkie? cheers Gareth

Guys ,maybe i should have asked the ATC guys for for the real info , looking at ozrunways and charts when planning is the right way ,but have been caught out by being pinged at 3500 on descent into the 2500 step at or after KIlcoy by atc, they were very helpful at that time (i had just 1 week earlier passed my xc) but canm be stressful; at time

Aldo, i didnt feel belittled , just asked the question of fellow aviators that have been doing it far longer than myself , i always try to learn from others who no more about a subject than i , my learning continues . Cheers Gareth

Dr Zoos ,yes you are right ,Ra does not cover all bases in xc and for me flying through areas with high traffic and not having radio and transponder on is a BIG safety issue cheers gareth

Aldo , you are right of course and i do use my charts but in the Ra xc training you are with your instructor who helps you understand reading charts , but this is also a high stress time for students ,also when you have gained your xc you then need to do xc to get better understanding, i plan most of my xc trips and plan through the most easiest ways that are close to cta areas,and it has been said many time s here that we learn more about aviating the more we do,also i am not a 20 year old being close to 70 makes a little more time to learn and digest, with myself i know that the more i do things the better understanding i get the reason i asked the question was to get responses from pilots that use this area all the time ,i thank you all for your responses and will now go back to my studying cheers gareth

ROFL

Thanks Guys ,good info and will use it on weekend cheers gareth

Does anyone know that on this weekend if Amberley is active and we can fly through and at what levels , been caught out once and dont want to be chastised again. cheers gareth

Also the google maps above shows Wirraway Station,dont try and land there they will wave you off cheers gareth

Guys look for the canungra road,on right is the Albert River Winery , 2 clicks on right is the airfield cheers gareth

its close to Albert river Winery heading south west to Canungra 2 strips one is slightly up hill cheers gareth

Who?

I have 4 round dots ,works for me and i got them from a dollar shop no 3 is my aim point, bottom dot end of runway cheers gareth

Geoff ,i agree ,some of us retirees as you say have the time to build,tinker or purchase a plane now lets get this right ,a plane ,wings ,fusalage,cockpit,elavators etc etc by golly its a plane , isnt it all about the aviation and flying ,to me it only matters that the CFI that teaches me is competant to teach me to the best of my ability , it takes years to become a good aviator and i am still learning as long as i do it legally in Ra it will do me for the time i have left in the sky cheers gareth

Your right that email is one sick loonie dont people realise that this (your) forum is for all like minded aviators ,sure we can disagree ,but dont be assholes to each other for the sake of a cheap laugh, and dont worry Ian/Corrine , most of the users of this forum will be there for you both Cheers Gareth W Lacet(not a psuedonym) is that the correct spelling LOL (for you Dazza)

Snore!!

Why dont you "out" the she/male user , he /she must be paranoid if they use subterfuge , i say put your name up if you have nothing to worry about or go to some other forum Cheers Gareth W Lacey

I have always got my items in a timely manner , but it is a small business with all the problems of suppliers not getting your orders delivered on time , also Ian is working away at this time ,and it is a genuine business cheers gareth

I think Ada is trying to impress us all with what she thinks she knows, i for I do not get impressed that easily, there are many forum users here that i would listen to first , then get the facts for myself ,i have also flown 4 different Jabs and as with ALL planes there are things about each that you may not like and as Facthunter said there are other type engines that are iffy cheers gareth
