  1. Franco, I see Ron likes Crocs. Looks like a rowdy bunch :)
  2. I was expecting the scale of the event to be recognised, 1000 small boats (yeah cgi req'd), 350,000 + rescued. Was a good movie about a small bit of a big event.
  3. I'll take the wrath from my peers, I think everyone should have a radio for reasons as outlined by Pearo, and should be properly trained to use it. Yes the rules say not required and some defend that, but of those above who do support the rule, who chooses not to carry a radio,
  4. Hi Fred, I got the 20s dual pack and installed in helmets for PIC and PAX and have the SR10 with vhf chord from Adrian with the amplifier. All works so well. Very important when first turning on the VHF to precharge the amplifier with a couple second press of the PTT as the amplifier is powered by the SR10.
  5. We are 5 pages into this discussion, and very interesting it is, I wonder if anyone has decided to change their procedure.
  6. Fred I have an a15. Adrian builds in a preamp works fine.
  7. I have enough trouble getting 4G on my phone.
  8. Yeah its a great covered area. Just need to get the BBQ fired up and have a fly in.
  9. And stay away at xmas - new year Woodford Folk Festival and April/may The Planting Festival | Home
  10. Quickest thread drift ever especially on such a serious situation. From ABC Light plane missing in northern NSW

    Sad to hear that news, with a punctured lung lucky your still with us. The bones will knit and the pain subside hopefully. The urge to fly won't go away and if your unable to PIC im sure a pax seat will await within our flying community. Best wishes.
  12. That would have to be a mighty GT500 in the trailer. Mick also contact Kevb this forum with the (Mighty) Hornet (Drifter) that he flew from your neck of the woods to Darwin.
  13. Pollies can do a lot of things we can't do. Great Pensions, perks, change their mind, lack of conscience etc. Id like to see them have to go to Centrelink and do an assets test to get their pension.
  14. That is it in a nutshell Frank. Just don't put it down in front of a Semi or next to a Croc Glides like a Brick
  15. I don't put that much trust in the ATSB findings. Myself and Mark Kyle (Kylecom) witnessed a Cessna crash at YCAB some years back and were interviewed separately. We had a little plane model in our hand showing the last moments of flight and impact straight in. When later reading the results of the enquiry they had it cartwheeling down the runway. Mark and I looked at each other and shrugged.
  16. The type involved flies an elliptical wing with a 2 point attachment which can stall. the common machine in Aus the Aerochute has a rectangular wing and 4 point attachment and cannot spin or stall but its not a sporty machine. No fatalities in this type in Aus been available for 30 years. We are now seeing some of this new type in this country requiring significantly more skill to operate.
  17. I wonder how much she has saved taxpayers by not charging Business Class Airfares for travel done in the Jab.
  18. Lucky that the Cyclone slowed down and didn't cross till Lunchtime. There is a 5m + difference between high and low tides, High Tide was around 8am and had fortunately subsided prior to the storm surge.
