Chifley Police District is investigating.

Police said on Wednesday night formal identification was yet to be confirmed.

But not at MTOW "Faeta NG 33 knots @ 472.5 kg"

What is the stall speed at 600 kg?

‘Published’..... 37 knots @ 600 kg.

I don't see 'site donations' on the left if my screen?

There's always one!

There’s a few on here !

I agree. We are carpet bombing the nation to save a few who where venerable in the first place to a whole host of related viruses! I'm still waiting to see the dead bodies piled up on the streets that match the current hysteria we are being fed with!

Remember everything dies ventually!

? “ Were vulnerable “.

needed to carry every damn thing on 1 trip, max fuel the lot ( J160 ).....weighed the ol girl, 612kg, yikes, rang “someone” that knew its limits, was told if it gets off the ground...and it will, it will fly perfectly......took an extra 100m on the grass, but lift off good as. Have now multiple times packed her to the roof, careful with COG limits tho.

What prop are you running Russ ? .... Bob

RV12 is 19 reg.and 2 seater. Not saying that is the case here....Bob

(sorry P500, we posted at same time )

Took a mate to Marlo ( YORB ) yesterday. He took these pics during our descent from 3500’into Bairnsdale. Flight was around 30 mins for near 50 nm,...... Bob

From initial diagnosis till op took 2 years , and from the tests biopsi, scan ,blood and further psa and the finger in the Bxm it was a no brainer for me ,it was very high ratio and could have spread ,then your on a no win scenario, i want to live longer and not be dying of cancer that may have spread , my uncle died with cancer that spread from his prostate ,he was a shadow of aman when he died it had spread everywhere seek a second opinion as i did but for me it was the right descision

Sounds like a good outcome Gareth. Remember to undergo regular check ups with your Urologist/Oncologist and you will likely outlast most of us here ...... Bob

There's no ONE fix for this. There's many manifestations of prostate conditions in Men and often people will die with it but not because of it if they are older when it becomes detected. (usually by a PSA test which doesn't give conclusive answers.) You can check the size of it by a digital rectal exam. Gloved finger in your bum.

Most people I know who have had work done when I asked them what the one thing they regret MOST was being rushed into it particularly to do the Biopsy. Generally unless it's very aggressive you are not in a rush and always have the right to seek a second or even a third opinion. and asses it over a period of months. (as I say unless thing are running away) and it may already have moved to other areas like lymph glands or even tumors in the brain etc..You can get support from Prostate groups that can be of great help. I can personally recommend GEELONG. P G. although I'm a fair way away from it and don't personally attend that much . They put out an emailed monthly pamphlet with many useful references and helpful hints. Costs $10 annually They are funded by the Cancer Council and other donations..Nev

You will have DRE, Ultrasounds, MRI, etc. but a Biopsy is the only way to diagnose the tumor . You can also get as many opinions as you like, and at some stage you may get the answer you want, but whether that opinion proves to be correct, only time will tell, but by then may be too late. Many prostate cancers have no symptoms . The best advice is to get tested early and act on a high PSA . Having your head in the sand will solve nothing and make future management more difficult ...... Bob

Well, I’m looking at retirement and a move to the Gippsland Lakes. I’ll probably have to sell the Auster. I have a nice cabin cruiser with 400 hp on twin legs in mind so I’m refreshing my Marine Certificate of Competency and trying to remember how to navigate on water rather than in the air.

There Is hangarage available at various times at YBNS Kaz, but I’m sure something more permanent could be found for a classic like an Auster. Are you looking at living on board and just cruising the Lakes, or doing some offshore cruising .... Bob

Cant "see it" so called sports drinks - essentially flavoured water with a few electrolytes thrown in ie a con would be no different to drinking cordial+ sodium chloride (salt) to flavour.

 

Your body has a comfortable range between dehydration & saturation - it will naturally excrete excess water via urine/sweat/exhalation and stool -l adding sugars and salts will not change this significantly.

Don’t worry about facts , science etc.Skipp .... thats ‘all BS‘, if ’someone’ says ‘something’ it must be right...... Bob

“ Also I added a length of cord to the jack handle as is does not fully reach its over centre position and this will allow wrapping around the undercarriage leg and prevent it collapsing while working on the wheel.

Cheers “

I’m interested in your jacking system Blue, any chance of a few more pics showing operation ...... Bob

Hi Skip, there must be some slight vision impairment In the lower LH corner, but can’t recall it being of concern. Of course, my actual eyeline is about 300 mm above this camera shot, I normally see much more of the engine cowl. But I do like the cooling holes in the mount, and will do similar when weather picks up. Unbelievable here at the moment ( App temp 2.6o C )..... Bob

Well I've asked to just use plain English for the localities and that's what I do and have always done.. I lose this forum and have to re open if I do as you wish 'Cause I'm using windows 10 which is different almost every day when I open up... Would YOU address the general public the same way? It's MEANT for submitting flight plans fer' C 'sake. and passing some exam perhaps. It sure as hell doesn't impress me and I've been around planes for as long as most here.. Nev

Am I missing something ??

Jeez Nico, at 66 you’re one of the youngest on here ! .... Bob

Hmm , some forces at work there Frank. Looks like pilot was trying to ‘back it in‘ during an anticlockwise flat spin:whistling: ..... Bob

Military recently vacated, so YBNS now back to “ops normal“..... Bob

I paid around $2.35 / litre at YBNS two days ago ! ..... Bob

Yeah yeah NT, ...... but tell us more about ”the women of the far north“ ..... Bob ?
