    I have had a few incidents, all due to being forgetful or in a hurry. Not all aviation related. This incident was not like that, they seemed to completely ignore or were totally oblivious to the danger staring them in the face. They have no 'excuse'. Clear air and height one way and thick cloud and little height the other way.

    I think the video has been deleted because of the 'upsetting nature' of the feedback. While it was a profoundly dumb situation to end up in, I guess we should think twice about our comments. I myself tend to be a harsh bastard.

    This link shows what happens when clowns learn to fly...

    Still haven't got an answer to my question....
  5. Jabiru7252
    I'm not saying the plane has sat dormant and locked away for a year so wasps and demons etc. can invade the plane. I am simply asking if something that was done 5 flying hours ago should be redone. hells bells, it's not rocket science.

    So, if you just cleaned and gapped the plugs and inspected the flywheel bolts, checked the frammin and widgets you'd do it all again, even after a few flying hours? That's insane.

    First up, forgive me if this has already been thrashed out somewhere. You do a yearly inspection. In a years time the yearly inspection is due again, however, you have only flown (say) 10 hours. What do YOU do? The entire inspection again, just a cursory check, completely ignore it or what?

    Gee that's getting close to my J170 weight. I think mine is 310kgs after adding that big ugly fin at the back.

    Avoiding cattle at 600 feet is a fair call. At that height the animals can get spooked, like horses do.

    for focks sake...

    I didn't think a jet pack would have enough fuel to get that high and safely back to earth. Wouldn't catch me with one for all the tea in china.

    Tonight's news showed a Foxbat upside down in a paddock. 36yo pilot off to hospital with some injuries. May have hit wires. Poor report. Anyway, he'll fly again I'm sure...

    Turning final onto 21R and you're right over my house (Brahma Lodge). It's barking dogs, burnouts and bogan nutters that cause the problems around here.

    https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-10-28/parafield-airport-australias-busiest-prompting-noise-complaints/12821210 I still chuckle when a (toothless) guy asked why planes can't do touch-n-goes over the gulf where they won't disturb anyone.

    I think drones are the bees knees. There's something about killing a bunch of zeebs on a screen with your grandkids on your knee that I like. Or, we could forget the drones and their precision strikes and just carpet bomb the daylights out of the enemy. More chance of killing innocents and getting killed yourself but hell, at least it's not cowardly.

    If we were meant to stay on the ground, we'd have roots...

    As a radio tech and Ham I shouldn't be, but I am. Confused. You said it does 3mhz to 11Mhz then said it has a super narrow bandwidth. That would be a good antenna to use on a block where the neighbors bitch about towers cause you could keep it below the fence line. Another 'retirement project' I think...

    What about a helical similar to the HF helical ants I use on the amateur bands? Although I personally would be worried about RF getting into stuff it shouldn't. Burned out my home burglar alarm due to HF transmissions (100WPEP).

    Neither is the Foxbat.

    I paid my aircraft registration fees weeks ago but no registration card received. When I enquired, no answer was forthcoming, just sent another copy of the 'paperwork'.

    Yea, I have a 10 year old J170C with only 155 hours TTIS. It still has the brand new smell about it. Always hangered, always maintained, no prangs etc. and all the mandatory crap. I'd sell for $55K but nobody's interested. Instead they waste my time with stupid questions.

    Nice! I thought a Savannah could land in a small paddock? Can your mate scope one out?
  23. Jabiru7252
    I have a big pecker so no S&W needed here...
  24. Jabiru7252
    Looks like you need a plane there because I see very few roads!!! Great picture.

    I use both a standard logbook and a spreadsheet to keep a record of my flying. Pity they don't agree on hours flown! If I did lose my original logbook I'd be much annoyed as it does have sentimental value.
