  1. Bottom of Bribie to Beachmere (9nm from Caboolture and 7.5nm from Redcliffe) is a more dangerous place to play at 1500' being a busy laneway to and from Redcliffe and to add to the dilema both busy airports have their own CTAF.
  2. Strangely anyone can buy an Airband Radio and subsequently Transmit. The mind boggles (don't let the d1ckheads know) PS: Best price Icom A15 in our Pilot Shop Icom IC-A15 AUS
  3. Another option since your in the area. Lachie Smarts return 7.30am Saturday William Smart - World Record! Homecoming ✈️ | Facebook
  4. The Verticle speed is nearly 140knts
  5. I agree Caloundra Museum a must especially with their shiny new F111
  6. If you were able to stop the Aircraft in mid air then let it fall vertically then it would behave along the lines your thinking but at stall the Aircraft still has airflow over the surfaces and the wings stall (lose lift first) causing the weight at the front of the aircraft to become unsupported. (Me Thinks)
  7. PPC has similar rules. 1000ft over built up areas (within gliding distance of a emergency landing oppertunity) but can fly down to 300ft over non built up. Same same but different. There are a few paddocks there which could be used for take off and landing.
  8. Something with a useful carrying capacity of over say 250kg, 80+kt cruise at 65% power and low Stall.
  9. Light plane ditches into Liverpool golf course lake
  10. Sitting here reading posts I look at an Avatar and get side-tracked. Looking at the Male Symbol, fairly illustrative, something protruding at an interested angle. Had to be bigger didn't it. Anyway what does the Female Symbol illustrate. My guess would be crossed legs.
  11. Problem Solved 1 Set Male Urinal Pee Holder Bag Test Bladder Incontinence Aid Bathroom Health 1000ml 1 Set Male Female Urinal Pee Holder Bag Test Bladder Incontinence Aid Bathroom Health 1000ml
  12. Probably better if you don't know in advance. The CFI says just pull over here and gets out. Should be a collection of photo's on the wall of the students faces at that precise moment.
  13. Took the GT500 on the Poker Run, twas a good day. Camera battery let me down for 2 landings and forgot to turn it on leaving McCarron's.
  14. JG's ( JG3 this forum ) website Stolspeed has a Map of available fuel StolSpeed Aerodynamics - Performance Enhancement for Light Aircraft
  15. Love it, Maps, ruler, protractor, Wizz wheel computer with wind calculated, stopwatch, pencils, rubber, Highlighter, fuel caculations, weather reports, notams - in different pockets, attached to kneepad. Flying along juggling the lot when you hear the instructor request a diversion to different Airport AND still fly the Plane. One flight I dropped the ruler under the seat and hand to land to find it.
  16. I see this years event 5/10/16 ? As the 5th is a Wednesday probably just a carry over from previous years. :(
  17. I now use Castrol Active T2 but had used Penrite Hi-Per 2 stroke for years. Changed as Pentrite not on the Rotax recommended list below - http://docusearch.flyrotax.com/files/pdf/d04362.pdf FH Yep
  18. Windyty has winds, temperature and cloud at different altitudes up to 2 weeks forecast. Great for looking for that tail wind www.windyty.com PS> Just noticed previously mentioned by Horsefeathers. Still worth a second mention as is a fantastic tool.
  19. UPDATE: Two men survive light plane crash near Kandanga
  20. A story of Chris Brandon's journey with weight shift in Aus. At the end of the story the debacle getting Air Creation Approval from CAA. Flying trikes powered hang gliders & microlight in the 1990's
  21. I still use Oziexplorer on the PC to look at routes, measure distances etc as I have a full (aged) set of Aviation Charts and you can utilise Google Maps inc Satellite/hybrid . I use as reference when planning on Ozrunways. Google Maps
  22. There is a Rabbit Warren of Mine Shafts under that place.
  23. Details of your flights are recorded on tx.ozrunways.com and can be viewed there or downloaded to be viewed on Google Earth. Scenario - At 4000' over Childers where I was to meet Mick (Hargraves) this forum for a local flight. Couldn't raise him on the radio then I notice his white bird parked outside the clubhouse below. Then the radio pipes up "You coming down for a cuppa" yep, so power off and quick decent. Nicely recorded by OZR.
