Great Photos Mike, can't wait to fly my Boorabee up that way next year, planning that anti clockwise trip around Queensland.

Do you mean, Aero Performance Propellors? Aero Performance Propellers for Quality Wooden Propellers (formally Thompson Aero) I had a prop made by Gary, did a nice job.

Out flying the club Drifter on a beaut winters day. Went exploring the valleys near Cunningham's Gap, western side of the Main Range Escarpment (west of Boonah).

The map is showing the wrong airport...go west to the big Island ( Australia) at Airlie Beach to find the correct airport.

Interesting choice of Avatar Matt.

Had an aircraft that had a cintered brass filter in a short static port tube behind the dash. Worked fine.

I think it comes down to more than just stick or yoke. I can use both nowdays with ease but it was not always that way. I learnt on Cessnas but once getting my PPL I did my tailwheel endorsement in a Decathlon. I am a left hander and the problem for me was not the yoke to stick change over...it was the change of throttle/ flight controls to opposite hands! I tended to over do the elevator response until I developed the muscle memory in my right arm when flying the Decathlon.

You should see the number of complaints about Flight Centre. They were charging $300 per person cancellation fees and the wait for a refund is over 3 months. Now the have capped it to $600 cancellation fee. Many unhappy ( non) travellers on a couple of Facebook sites. My wife and I were to fly to the UK on ANZAC day for a month. Booked flights on flight centre site, they will only give us credit to travel next year. Got back 75% of motorhome hire but will be out of pocket $4000 for other expenses that I can't get back.

Now where to start?? This is about 10% of future projects, I think they are breeding!?

My sort of room! Can't have enough backup projects at times like these!

It looked like costing nearly as much as the real thing

Two of the 'sit in' ultralights I have owned cost me less or approx the same as the turbine and associated model and accessories!!

Can't go flying at the moment so I have dusted off the stalled model builds. Working on my Balsa USA Third scale Super Cub and started on the strengthening mods on the Falcon 120 prior to fitting my gas start King Tech K-80 turbine and gear.

MGL Avionics make some nice gauges.

Have a look at lightflying.com.au

Lone Eagle Flying School at Clifton has stopped Training and no flying in club aircraft til further notice.

This video explains the virus behavior very well.

If your off course 40 degrees......your lost!!!!! ?

lost rudder control?

 

Broken/corroded rudder cable maybe.

Interview with the chief pilot and his new pilot employee on  7 news tonight. He says they were doing some training ( beach operations? ) And they lost rudder control. The video of the ditching shows a quick descent to the water.

I have not seen the iPad version since a bought an iPad 2 , years ago, did install a trial Ozrunways then but have RWY on my Android phone and a Samsung Galaxy Tab since the wife claimed the iPad. Happy with what's in RWY... what's in Ozrunways for iPad won't hurt me if I haven't seen it!!!

Found the RWY software very easy to learn and stable on the Android system, never had a software crash or lockup with RWY. Don't know why someone needs to familiar with Android software. Once RWY is installed just click on the icon to open and use.

Love the Android version, simple to learn with everything I need as a recreational user!

Fancy running a raffle when they had not even guaranteed they can deliver, that's deception! I bought tickets in advance not knowing for sure whether I was able to attend due to work commitments but was enticed to buy because of the raffle. I did not end up going.....so they should be refunding my ticket costs I reckon!
