I have the Arlo cameras that don’t work off the mobile system and they are an awesome bit of gear. Perfect picture quality and the ability to watch in real time from anywhere with internet is a big plus.

their units that are on the mobile system look to be just as good and I intend to get one before too long. I can certainly recommend Arlo as a good quality product.

I have flown into Coolah a couple of times with our local aero club. I can’t remember what phone service was like on the ground.

It is a nice enough strip to land on but is a fair way out of town. I would use it as a break stop but not as much a fuel stop. Depending on which way you were going Gunnedah or Quirindi or Coonabarabran may be better options.

i am a local at Quirindi and am more than happy to chat about the different options if you like. My mobile is 0427 eight three six 582

Hello Happyflyer I am back from doing some work.I need to explain myself here and by the looks of things I have been misunderstood.The number of times people ask me to spell the situation out word for word I must hasten to add, it will not be prudent of me to answer in a manner as such, word for word. However I do present very good tracks to follow to gather this information for ones self. i.e. Ones owns research and interpretation.

I can understand there are times there will be no new info and I can understand at times things like websites won't work or get hacked but a simple statement every now and then would go a long way to explain matters.

I have said before I am only in RAA to fly BUT I will never look at an alternative that has as much double talk as you put out. Keep it plain, keep it simple and you become a viable option.

Not sure about that Jet, on the rotax I thought rubber hoses got replaced at 5 years?

i think it's idiocy that these guys dont fit a forward camera to see whats in front of them on the ground.

Welcome Breece!

I don't know a lot about Tassie but there are some other members on here from there. 1@Marty_d[/uSER] is the main one I can remember, he would be a good place to start to get some local knowledge/contacts.

Enjoy the forum.

I changed over to a helmet from my Zulus and it has much better passive noise reduction than the Zulus but not as good in the ANR side.

I think with aircraft noise is always going to be a factor as insulating against it for our size aircraft isn't really viable so a good headset/helmet is a must.

Maybe you need English comprehension lessons, did I mention CASA or RAA as such and I'm in no way affiliated with either, either.

One of the problems, as I understand it, is that there has been numerous problems with the help it has been receiving and a lot of red herrings being thrown it's way due to other organization/s not wanting ELAAA to exist.

So are you saying it is RAA's fault that CASA is holding back? Maybe it was their fault that that Chinese satellite came down too? They probably introduced Barnaby to his mistress and no doubt they are sitting on the coordinates of MH370..........

Maybe I just read too much into it. I haven't ever been good at cryptic clues, but it does seem to me that RAA cops a lot of blame for a lot of stuff.

And for the record I am in no way affiliated with RAA or the leaders thereof other than being a paid up member so I can fly.

Anyone know if grass has ever been used for aircraft take off and landing?

Well how close was it to the strip? It is hard to tell from the camera angle I saw.

My strategy would be

1: find a new instructor/school

If you seriously think that we, as RAA flyers, are as hard done by as allied POWs or even slightly comparable then I think you are in a different reality to me.

Well it is a bit late to worry about the pilots feelings it seems he has already taken afence

a few milometer's under the soil to germinate so the birds can't find i

I never really worked out how they knew where the seeds were but it was super frustrating as only a handful of cockies could clear a fair little patch in a short amount of time.

Also get one rated to take ethanol, even if you never buy anything other than premium or avgas

If you have turned the engine off then I wouldn't worry about the pressure reading. My electric gauges do some weird things when switched off.

But I guess the 100kgs wouldnt all be in one lump? But still haveing said that a half a kilo lump would still do some damage at that speed.

Is it a mechanical gauge or an electric one Bruce?

I thought it was just melted away to nothing? I thought a nice adjustable heat protecting capsule could be designed to let the stuff melt but then shield it so it wasn't all burnt up?

It could then land with a nice load of ingots ready for their next life.

Using solar power is silly, why not design a capsule that uses the heat of reentry to smelt it all on the way back? Done and dusted!

https://www.scienceabc.com/innovation/how-does-turning-on-wifi-improve-the-location-accuracy-of-a-device.html

That is well worth a read and explains the wifi helping location phenomenon.

In short it has nothing to do with gps, most wifi points have location recorded on a google database and those that don't are automatically recorded if your device sees them and you have clicked I agree at the right time! At no time does your device have to connect to these wifi points to have this all happen.

It is amazing and really scary all at the same time!!

That is interesting as I was under the impression that with wifi off that the iPad only relied on mobile triangulation?

But I only assumed that, never checked why that notice came up

If you're flying with an iPhone or iPad and getting noise through the radio while on the charger, first make sure the wifi is turned off. It seems like the apple devices go into a high power mode when they're on charge and if the wifi is looking for a connection, it makes a lot of radio hash. It seems to be worse on some frequencies.

While a DNR sounds like a good idea there are two things I can think of that would cause it to not work.

1. Family of said person will want body to bury. So it still needs to be retrieved/rescued

2: locals where said person killed themselves won't want body left there to rot so body will need to be retrieved/rescued.

There are no doubt more points but at the end of day no matter how many pieces of paper you sign saying you accept all responsibility at times our actions will affect others. It is just the way it is.
