Jabiru7252

See, now why are YOU not in politics? That's a great idea, I shall put it forward at work tomorrow.

 

 

All she remembers is me yelling "faster! faster!"

 

 

Ouch - things are getting nasty!

 

 

You could just about fly the entire country on a single tank of gas! Welcome to the throng.....

 

 

On adelaide now website - plane crashes while wing walker doing her thing. Not good so be warned.

If not grounded then forbidden to carry any passengers other than one capable of taking control in the event of a medical episode. (Not my words, just posting on a non-aviators behalf). Sounds reasonable to me.

This reads that you try to spin it turning finals or do I need to take more meds? I flew in an Xair Hanuman with a Jabiru engine, most impressed.

 

 

Information on the location please.

 

 

Another report, video also showing the aircraft and naming the Pilot.

Unfortunately showing an aircraft in a video doesn't mean that was what he was flying. I remember a Jabiru crash that was reported as a Cessna. I also remember a twin Cessna being featured in video where a plane crashed, a Piper Seneca. The media get more wrong than right, another example of dumbing down I guess.

 

 

Considering the wildlife in your country one is likely to be eaten or stomped on after a successful forced landing. Do you supply a handgun with each aircraft sale? What about fast running shoes?

 

 

Would not that be torture?

 

 

I suspect a student or somebody who knows enough about flying but is an idiot with booz has nicked the plane, possibly with a mate. Now, he nicked the Jab because he's done a few hours in Jabs, so, get all the recent students in the area and hook them up to a lie detector and play Barry Manilow records at them until the truth is revealed. The really stubborn students get the Leonard Cohen records at full volume.

 

 

Well, that's only a ten minute flight and to land in a paddock, I would say it was either a drunk or a reasonably capable pilot.

 

 

Excellent! Now, make sure there's a chunder bag on board just in case.

 

 

Yea, what he said..... (pointing upwards to the previous post)

 

 

Just got my ninth spam. This one called "Sexual Abuse in the Church" They are originating from change.org which is the mob that has the petition against ASIC. So, dunno why I am being bombarded and you're not! Cleared all my cookies, history, ran my virus scanner and even cleaned the toilet. Let's see what happens now, in the meantime, I'm off to do some flying....

 

 

Most pilots would have enough goo between the ears to know where to fix a small camera without interfering with control surfaces, pitot tubes and static vents etc, not that I am saying the rules are wrong. If they didn't consider where they were mounting the camera (and how they mount the camera) then perhaps they should stick to flying kites.

 

 

Be aware you will be spammed once you sign the petition.

 

 

This is no joke. Everybody know we are dumbing down society, this is the real deal!

 

 

Mount the thing well back so that it catches you flailing about in the cockpit during your exploits in the air. You can learn a lot from that. I made a wooden stand that is strapped to the header tank behind the seats in my Jab and the camera is mounted to that. I use a Contour camera. It's nice to review your flying after to see if your speeds, rates of decent etc are good. I recorded the radio audio onto a small digital recorder using a lead I made up that plugs into the passenger headset socket. The lead attenuates the signal by a factor of ten. After, I mix the audio and video using Sony Vegas and a few glasses of cheap port.

 

 

I think Coke and Apple etc. pay big bucks to have their products featured in movies.

 

 

Now I have an image of a clown flying a Jab into a building while shouting "Alla Akbar!" then seeing this crumpled Jab stuck on the side of the building like a bug smashed on a windscreen.

 

 

Maybe the owner of the jab just can't find it? I did that with my car at a crowded shopping centre once. No news reports of any planes being nicked.

 

 

Done, although pessimistic as to the outcome.
