I sometimes think these mandatory inspections are a money spinner and cause more problems than they prevent. However, that's just a thought and I may not be thinking straight because of the extreme heat.

Twice I have flown to Kadina SA and both times the wind was flat out and 90° across the runway. I had a go the first time but it was pretty rough so I chickened out a came back home. The second time I didn't bother as the first time was still fresh in my memory. I also prefer cross-winds from the left, dunno why...

Doesn't work:oops:

It's when they get it wrong and you're dragged off screaming and naked into the night after being accused of some heinous internet crime you never committed.

Well, I had a friend who refused to have his kids vaccinated (way back in the 70s) and even had them born at home because he believed that 'The Government' was collecting blood samples etc. for some yet to happen event or experiment. Google (and others) collect brazillians of giga-bytes of data on each of us yet we happily use the internet in ignorant bliss (well, most of us). I still say for everything they know about YOU there's probably ten things they don't know. I just wish they could get their data-analysis right. I have NEVER been on a dating site or trolled for sex yet I get some trollop, three kilometers down the road pop up on my screen saying she wants to (sounds like duck) me. Or, how some silly old fool has the best abs in the world for his age.

May not be able to shoot them, but I remember a fellow caught trying to steal a car.....

I recommend having a deep hole dug somewhere, it may come in handy.

I don't have an ASIC and won't bother with one. As pilots our certificate or licence should be enough while 'behind the wire'. If I had the need to fly into ASIC controlled airports then maybe I'd get one. They are just a money spinner. The ASIC will not in any way stop the lunatics from doing anything bad. There was a time when the whole family could walk up to the steps at the plane to give the old man a hug as he went interstate for business. How times have changed.

Whoo, gonna be lumpy flying tomorrow, 35°C.

Well, the Gawler thingo drew quite a crowd and a few interesting planes to drool over. I'm glad I went.

I like the contour. Mine handles the propeller chop better than the Go-PROS that I have seen. As for 4K video, why bother? You need a 4K display to make the most of it and a super computer if you intend doing any serious video editing.

Yep, RH circuits. The tighter circuit is the ideal circuit, the rest were a bit wide. This is because I was just starting out in the Jabs after previously flying the Tabago TB10 and Piper PA28 .

Here's a sample of my circuits from about 5 years ago.....

Did you run over a yellow-bellied-sap-sucking-gound-warbler when landing? They sound like that.

Not being on FaceAche I guess I miss out. Oh for the days when folks ran websites instead of exclusive facebook etc.

Did you bring any COLD weather with you????

Regarding Gawler, be aware that Saturdays are training days for LSA students and there is also lot's of Glider activity. Local frequency is 126.55 Mhz.

WHAT!!!! I fly out of Gawler, am a member of the club and I know nothing about this.

It's the same for all forums. I'm a member of Ham radio forums, computer programming forums, science forums and the behavior is the same. Must be part of the TCP/IP suit but I am not sure which layer it's at.

Quote : "When we first came to live at Hill Top in 1965, a fire in the Burragorang was 'all hands to the McLeod tools and backpacks, down the hill, go for it' The lady who ran the local phone exchange ( yes, we had wind-up phones here in 1965, through to about 1970) was the de-facto 'incident controller', the locals got instantly onto baking scones and cakes and making infinite depth urns of hot tea... In the 1968 fires, we nearly lost the place here: it came to within about 500 metres when the wind reversed and bought rain. I have some stories about that fire - but not germaine to this thread. : End Quote. Arrh yes, These were the days when men were made of steel and ships were made of wood and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.

How do you folks pay your RAAus fees? I do not have a credit card, I have a debit card but they can't use that. They do not supply a BSB number. I logged onto the website and discovered I only have 96 hours total flying time which is wrong by a long shot. I wonder if your details are correct?

78 year old pilot. Hell, if I can manage the dunny by myself at 78 I'll be happy, let alone an aeroplane. Thanks to the Great Magnet he made it out alive.

Starts in games, ends in tears...........

I have seen that plane go over on a few occasions. Nice looker. What a pity.

I'm surprised the propeller didn't fail.
