Well spotted Frank (I'm about to pick up a paramotor!)

I would have thought the pitch up tendency of a Jabiru would be OK to overcome on a go around - even when trimmed for landing.

I just checked my Ozrunways renewal - over 10% price increase annually. I'm about to check out Avplan.

No. There's been a couple controlled flight into terrain. Another uncontrolled flight into terrain in the Blue Mountains, Katoomba area, last year.

So the media at its best post an aerial photo of Latrobe Valley Airport? Terrible news for a family tonight.

I love the title of this thread...What an understatement!

Not my last flight but the last flight of the Buggatti 100P. This should be a new thread. https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwi95ZCY-rHOAhWGm5QKHauLCU8QqQIIKzAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.upi.com%2FTop_News%2FUS%2F2016%2F08%2F06%2FExperimental-plane-crash-kills-1-in-Oklahoma%2F6921470512053%2F&usg=AFQjCNGcSMvKXYlpRPe1DCWYE5GpngUO6A&sig2=J027RS8r-6-R4J8QSYAB-A&bvm=bv.129391328,d.dGo

That's right. Muslims couldn't possibly be pedophiles but they are allowed to marry women as young as one year old and consummate that marriage when that woman is nine years old. The don't commit adultery either as men can get a permit to temporarily marry a woman for an hour.

Thanks for an actual report Diggler - all this rumour, doom and gloom from some is a real bummer.

I'm pretty sure the Jabiru was behaving as expected in a turning stall. Looking forward to seeing the climbing turning stall videos. Laurie

I might have missed it having been previously posted but - The Jabiru 250/450 wing is the same span as the 200/400 with a longer chord. A mate built one here and it is a ripper. Fast, good roll rate and lowish stall speed. To me it's more like an RV wing, low aspect slab and they work pretty well. Laurie

I'm pretty sure the winglets are purely for show. A mate with an SP500T fitted aileron fences by attaching them to the wingtip next to the aileron - says they liven up the aileron response particualarly at low speed.

I 'built' a Jabiru kit and they're regarded 51%+

Low wing, a bit KR2/Joeyish :)

I often use RWY on my Samsung s5 when flying locally and as a back up for the iPad. It works well but no where near as complete as the apple version.

It's also quite common when teaching to have the head teacher tell you something, the class manager tell the class something else and finally a third thing happens... This would be the definition of 'Chinese whispers' wouldn't it?

A very nice Jabbie trip from YLTV to a private strip near the decommissioned Omega tower. A bbq and tunes with Daryl on uke and host Rob on bass. I think the Bose L1 Compact was made for Jabbie travel! Laurie

He certainly got the title right. It looked like there were so many better landing options.

Just like Atos. http://www.a-i-r.de/eng/air_04e.php?kat=108#

Billow shift - a characteristic of flex wings that assists with turning.

Good to see he was a supporter of another Australian industry - Maton guitars!

When I was building my project, UL450, I spoke to someone at Jabiru, Jamie I think it was, about fitting those cool winglets like the later model Calipso (UL450). There may be a 1 knot reduction in stall speed. Not worth the effort and expense. But they are pretty. Laurie

Another Jab sortee today - two Jabs from YLTV to YTOC and one returned to YLTV. The reason being I ferried my mate's SP6 to YTOC to be close to where he now lives (Cobram). Neither missed a beat. Laurie.

Sounds a lot like hang glider spin recovery technique.
