  2. Turbo apologises......the second one.
  3. This is the prelim. report so they will now be doing the detailed work item by item. 1400' downwind? steady descent 130 kts?
  4. .........Turbo redeemd himself when he was able to produce a video of one of the ancient chickens of Gorpington a tiny country tucked away in a valley of the Himalayas. As he said, Turbo himself had taken the video on furlough from the Khyber Pass. It showed a double jointed Black Gorpington (the g is silent in Gorpington) It was kicking at the other chickens with a double jointed legg and switching its tail like a cat. He withdrew the regret for his decision, said he knew he had the video but just couldn't put his hand on it at the time,the PR people dressed him up in a giant black rooster suit with a bow tie, the chickens were labelled Black Orpington, and just ran out the doors of the franchisees, double jointed or not. It wasn't until ................... [Interesting photo. Not many people know that Turbine Defence Inc. designed that tanker drogue. The earlier ones weren't labelled and several crashed when USAF pilots pulled up behind the tanker and tried to stick that sharp thing in it. Once Turbine had labelled it, they were able to see it was the other end of the arcraft that mattered.]
  5. I wouldn't get too excited Keith, note that this thread started with someone guessing that single and dual set should be the same price. RAA decide what they charge. Every Sipermarket decides what it charges, every business decides what it charges and it wouldn't be the first time that the profit was made on the sales price of one product and another product sold at a lower price, the combined result being greater than if they were both sold at the same price because the cost was the same. The person could have just kept his own business to himself and contacted RAA Ltd.
  6. Yes, a bit like the old Benson GyroCopters that killed a lot of people, but if you turn into that side the chute picks up and you take off in that direction. I was going to use one for aerial surveillance in western NSW so spent a lot of time studying them and realised you really needed an all over field to be successful. If you wanted to land on a bush track for example you couldn't always guarantee you'd get down so I dropped the idea. When you look at the open days there's a lot of line cutting by the props when the chutes fill, you start the roll and the chute collapses again while you are going slow etc.
  7. They lay them out on the runway and open the throttle. The chute reacts to moving through the air and deploys, swig upwards and from there they are hanging in a taut chute, so theoretically very safe; however: At my RC airfield a PPC dropped in and took the President up for a ride.....there was a crosswind ......the wheel on the PPC hooked on the boundary fence but finally broke the wire. The chute can oscillate on take off, and while the takoff and landing roll are short they don't have the precise control surfaces of a conventional aircraft so there's a lot of drifting and a big all-over field is best. Like any other aircraft flying below 500' while the view is great, a SWER line will take them out.
  8. .....their stronghold in Boggo Road. They’d failed to follow instructions inputting north instead of South, and a Chicken Farm in Crimea was wiped out. This......

  12. We can see from this post the degree of authority of Moderator 3 carries around here. A close confidant of Cappy, who had a deprived childhood, and a fetish (where he cried continuously for fresh nappies where most cried for milk, and Turbo just lay there happy for anything he got}, M3 as he is known around here has repeatedly been exposed as a cross-dressing psychopath, student of Hitler and would have been a serial killer if it wasn't for the fact that all 31 of his victims escaped.
  13. Boeing whistleblower & former employee John Barnett was found dead. The day before his death he had been giving evidence at a whistleblower lawsuit against Boeing. He died from a self inflicted wound on 9/3/24. He had been due to answer further questions that day.
  14. And so fitting a battery isolator requires no more that the brain capacity of a praying mantis.
  15. .....bought hersek a Drifter (sort of AVREF) did a couple of flights training and flew out to see Captain Bull, landing neatly on the deck, but a little off the centre which sent a little old Italian off his deckchair and into the .......................
  16. .......more of them really need to get a life, embrace the balmy Qeensland weather and swim in the estuaries and rivers. The photo above of the Bone RSL may not be understood by southerners. Local Bone residents only eat out in Bone when its free of QCs. A flock like this is a good indicator that Mavis is on the grog again and the customers are binning their half eaten steaks, or ....................

Tourists from the South have always been dismissive of the QCs which caw in a most feminine way, especialy whem they are flying or ........................... [One notes that Cappy has used embedded brackets (EB) this is rarely seen in today's society, more's the pity.]
  18. .......mesh. When he was a boy he would look at fly screens for hours, and he built a collection of photos showing Queensland fly screens, which, as we know always seemed to have a hole somewhere. He carried this on to adulthood, the photos now digital and AI enhanced. Every grubby, smelly Pub in Queensland was represented. And because there were so many flies crawling on them he started a collection on flies and joined the Queensland Fly Spotters Association, an offshoot of the AUF whose members also seemed to have a lot of flies around them and ............................

  20. Remember that lines of code can't think. If the coding was "if A,B,C,D,E etc are met issue Class 5 or default to DAME" then if there's a coding mistake for C, the system will default and send you to a DAME. probably something very simple in the coding which has to be fixed.
  21. The people who pushed the company structure dominated this site during the transition, pushing the line that we were not a cricket club, a BS analogy, and once it was voted in disappeared from this site.
  22. ....passed on from a social media site???????
