Morning Frank

Got your email thanks very much

David

Regan, Jerry and Right Rudder, Your copies have been sent!Franco. (Frank)

Thanks David

Last time I rang the number in Ersa I was told sorry but the perception is that RA certificate holders are not as well trained as GA and I could not land there

This was a couple of years ago

David

RIP Ross and condolences to his family

David

Rockhampton aero club is going pretty strong now and has a lot better feel than it had a few years ago ,has a couple of 172's and a 150 online

Very happy with mine so far ,but have only done 40 hours slightly more power oil temp down ,pressure up oil use virtually nil

Kyle, I have no idea why you would have taken such offence at a suggestion that Ian Bent might be at CAMit over the Christmas break and would quite possibly be happy to show you around if you happened to be in the area at the time. He just is that sort of person anyway and is very proud of his operation, with good reason. He was prepared to come in from home and open the place on a weekend to allow my co-owner and I to keep on working on our engine rebuild when I was last up there, to drop what he was working on when we needed something special for our somewhat 'bitzer' build, and to show us the FEA analysis, CAD drawings etc. behind changes (and to check that changed components would work properly in the case of our specific engine), to teach us how to machine cases and heads, to make jigs and tooling himself because some parts of our engine were older than the engines for his existing jigs and tools.

I have to agree with you Ian is one of natures gentlemen and always happy to help

David

I will second that Merry Christmas to all

David

DCM Is it classed as a Jabiru engine or not in light of this proposed instrument. Or do you not know.Cheers Geoff13

David

How many engines to CAMit have in operation?

Would the person who put the "optimistic" comment on my Post # 36, please be so kind as to enlarge on that comment?

David

Just realized I could undo it

Hello Ian

Little girls have a habit of making old dads smile my little girl (now 23 )and I spent the weekend fishing caught nothing much but we both loved it ,she was never supposed to live beyond 6 I think I am the luckiest Dad ever

David

Congrats mate

Good luck with that mate but try to wheel her because it is worth it welcome

I have 700 meters at 600 feet above sea level and regularly get off the ground in 300 meters but will admit that I have gone around quite a few times due to not being happy with my approach but I don't have anywhere near 400 landings ,have had a 172/150 in and out with no problems

Merry and safe Christmas to all best of luck in the new year

David

Spoke to R A Aus on Wednesday and it appears that an online exam is not sufficient in CASAs eyes and a practical component may be needed as well so the link has been removed from the website

I would like to congratulate Ross and once again offer to lend a hand in any way that I can if he needs it thanks also for those that voted for me

I have a strip near Westwood about 40 ks along the Capricorn highway about 650 meters grass if that helps

Another book that I found very interesting is called Wings on my sleeves by Captain Eric Brown it describes his career as a test pilot for the RAF in the closing stages of WW2 he flew a lot of the captured aircraft

I got it from an ex members rep because I couldn't find it either. I also couldn't find anything that says you actually have to live in the are you represent so someone living in Tweed heads for example could probably effectively deal NSW or SQLD.........Andy

where abouts are you DCM? I'm in walkerston.. we need to get a few more pilots up here

Thanks for that I wasn't able to find it anywhere and it puts me about on the fence so to speak
