ppg is not ppc

Home built designed redneck ppc,rest are ppg,not ppc.any deaths in Australia .....I think not ..why are ppc's under Raa anyway?

Tesla had it sorted long ago , no battery's required

No ,ppg is not a ppc

150 hrs to be able to teach someone to pull two strings and push a throttle ,looks like 3 axis needs to increased to 2000 hrs . Has there ever been a death in Aus in a ppc ? ,how many dead with 3 axis?

No lic/ certificate should be required at all for a one seat ppc ,like in the USA

And 20 hrs is way too much

Thanks tim ,great read. Waiting for the next one

Fred,the mud slinging continues,more than ever.SAD.Let us know how the new prop goes.Ive seen many bust there props ,might be worth keeping your ivo just in case?WA has its own ppc forum now which makes it easy to fly with others,the last fly in we had 17 aircraft (best so far) if your ever over this way let me know ,

Fred do you notice much improvement with the new prop.?

"Larger "may help

That's only one way to try selling

I have been looking at aircraft since I got the bug 4 months ago. I am a genuine person with a fairly restrictive criteria due to several things but all of those to me are important. The main one is due to my weight and the combined weight of me and likely passengers, (Is that discreet enough?). I have been absolutely disgusted by some of the responses to queries about adds.Mostly I email my queries if an email is provided, this is due to my work and time constraints. As a truckie I often work nights or long hours so tend to question things when the schedule permits. By using email it allows me to consider responses to my questions. Mostly my emails are ignored. Often when they do reply, they simply answer the questions that they want to answer and tend to ignore the others.

 

Every now and again someone will ring me. As I said I am a genuine buyer and do nothing to hide my identity.

 

Well today I got the ultimate bad response. I emailed someone with several genuine questions.

 

Let me say here that when I ring someone I always identify myself first and foremost.

 

I received a phone call from an unlisted number. This person sounded quite abrupt and asked for me by name. I asked who he was and again he asked for me by name. Again I asked who he was and he refused to answer and asked for me by name. At that I told him that as he rang me common courtesy would dictate that he identify himself.

 

With that out came the pompous Airs and Graces and I was abruptly informed that he wasn't the tax man or the police (of which I was already certain as they would have Identified themselves) he then proceeded to tell me he was a retired Judge and if I wanted to know more about his plane I should go and bloody look at it. Well with that attitude old mate if you are on here you can stick your bloody plane where the sun don't shine.

 

I think I will give up on second hand and go new. At least with salesman you can expect to be screwed over.

Skimming ? Now that sounds like fun

Best safe slow/low and cheapest way to fly,great video

There are a few here that love to proof read for spelling and grammar with the posts made by others,I'm sure that will not be a problem

when it's doing 6800 fly as high as you can then turn it off.

No.........

Airfield altitude?Prevailing wind direction vs airfield orientation?

Summer daytime temperature?

 

Grass, gravel or paved?

 

Slope?

 

Obstacles?

 

How's it go when it's wet?

 

Houses or settlements nearby?

 

... As they say "it depends"

 

Cao 20.7.4 flight planning for aircraft performance requires TORA to be 15% greater than TODR for starters.

 

I just flew off a 1200m strip near Darwin which was fine for the SB Drifter running a Rotax 582 but it was dead flat and gravel. Some days 800m will feel quite short, especially with a laminar flow wing and a teeny tiny tail wind (J160)

Again rego will be returned the same day it's received this year, but this time, I will fly when the wind gods say it's ok .catch me if you can.stand up 4 your right to flight

Interestingly you are correct, except that NOT everyone can. It is the grammar and punctuation that can completely alter the meaning of a sentence or paragraph.

Does it really matter ? If the first and last letter is correct anyone can still reed it

I'd like my renewal to be changed to the middle of winter instead of the best part of the year for flying

All should continue to fly ,if something goes wrong things might change

Amazing ,though with all that time and effort you could build something that actually flys
