  1. My first ga instructor never let me really learn until I spent to much $$ if I could go back and with the right person shown me what the effect of controls really is it would have saved lots of $$ ie: pull push kick those peddles o" that's what happens not keeping secrets and dragging it out eg: little pull push learn f all .im still not happy about that but didn't really know any different at the time this somewhat killed the dream .anyone that flys fix wing could have saved that part of the bullshit and lots of $$$$$.if I get back into flying fix wing I'm much more educated for the next round ,although flying ppc just to fly low and slow with nowhere to go is good for now ,I just feel ripped off with the ga thing,with my little 60 is hrs fix wing I'm sure I could save someone else from the same rip off and not kill anyone eg at 3000 feet and try this etc.

  2. Bill,I heard it on the news. I am mearly repeating it.

     

    Obviously it was a quite day if they were reporting old news.

     

    But if Miranda is looking for a new boyfriend, well: "I'm free". (no intended reference to Mr Humpries of Are you being served fame intended.)

    She's past free put your price up and just maybe

    I was thinking it had to do with 'Vertical Photography' which is a defined term but on reflection I think it has to do with making money by taking photos from your recreational aircraft.

     

    Thanks as I've given a farmer pics of he farm as thanks for letting me fly from there ,and now a year later there on a big for sale sign at the end of the road with some of them as advertising (and they look great). Although what would stop a passenger from selling pics they took??

     

     

  4. You might do well to delete this image too Mark, I guess not everyone is aware that vertical photography is prohibited except when conducted as Commercial Aerial Work and so cannot be performed legally unless the pilot has a CPL and the operation takes place under an AOC with the appropriate Sections approved in the Operations Manual. That's unless the CASRs have changed in the last ten years or so ...Silly eh? I wonder who thought that one up.

     

    Is this true?

  5. Below is a reply I got today after follow up phone call.You might see this soon coming to an inbox near you if your rego is due:

    Hello,

     

    I am writing to advise you that your aircrafts file is awaiting sign off by our CASA delegate.

     

    Once the file has been signed off we can process the payment and renew the registration.

     

    Thank you,

    ....and we don't know when he may drop past this way again ....I had two rounds of this also....raa is just like gas, power ,and phone company's there's not many options.

     

     

  6. Kevin, got mine yesterday only grounded for a month ,I found that if you phone up it's the only way to keep it moving,funny thing is no weight form was required on my aerochute?. That's going to be next years first delay

     

     

  7. Seems to me when something wrong is found STOP this must be fixed .so when to owner finds out by post (yes post) or other means he usually will fix this straight away then it's to the bottom of the pile waiting for the casa guy,when he gets a chance to drop in .then he finds something else STOP etc etc.yep , best to phone up now and again or your rego may get left in the to hard basket longer.im now back in the casa guy pile hoping he can't find anything else when he next visits ,although nobody can say when this may happen. Sounds like the easy ones are getting done on time which is a great start, I just hope that flying is like riding a bike and I don't forget how when eventually back in the sky
