    I am flying with no medical Peter. (that's no medical, comma, Peter...) My medical was current as at 1/3/20 and expired about 3 weeks ago. So I get six months exemption from 3 weeks ago - puts me to about end Feb 2021. Exemption = you don't have to have the thing (at all). Extension = the thing lives on past its end date to a new end date. It would appear that you are in the same time frame bracket as me. Your medical was valid as at 1/3/20, expires soon, so exempt for six months. Grab it while it's there I say, it will add to the abundant evidence that private flying without a medical is safe. Thank you RAAus and GFA peeps for setting that record.

    What OME said. Plus, I think 3000km is too far away for you to even contemplate a buy. You need to find something you can personally go see, and take an aircraft mechanic with you. Watch this video: A friend bought a plane (that we actually knew) some years ago. It had not flown for 6 years. Was assured that as it was in a LAMEs hangar it would be checked over and be ready to go. No, we didn't want to risk it and so took a trailer nearly 1300km to go get it. We got it home, got it back together, had it checked over and sent the engine away for a part overhaul and thorough checkover. It was known to have had oil cooling problem. Judging by what the LAME had done with the cooler location and ducting and hoses, it was no wonder. Instead of the factory fitted straight oil hose nipple, it had a two piece right angle arrangement, a straight hose nipple screwed into a 90 degree adapter. The straight item blocked 3/4 of the oil flow in the 90 degree adapter. It would not have lasted five minutes on a flight home.

    100% keep your logbook yourself. It is YOUR logbook. There is no valid reason to leave it at your flying school. Random CASA inspection? BS. Yes, CASA may ask and arrange with you to see it. Mrs 440 is in a local community organisation, they met weekly at a local pub, left all there stuff there for convenience. The pub went broke, closed, locked up, owners could not be found. By the time the group was able to get back in there, the whole joint was cleaned out by a contractor presumably, everything was just gone, including all the groups property which was clearly marked with their well known branding. Couldn't happen to a flying school? Dream on. Keep your logbook yourself.

    Nothing to do with Rutan, it's a Russian built Experimental.

    Avalon just had 137 new restaurants open. (But you'll need an ASIC to get in.)

    A guy I worked with some years ago was in London one time. He darted in to some posh hotel to take a whiz. He asked the concierge penguin dressed in top hat and tails "Mate, where's the dunny?" The concierge said in his proper British voice, "Down the hall here Sir, third door on the right where it says GENTLEMEN. Just ignore that, and go right on in."

    There is no requirement to take your logbook aloft Glen. Just get an ordinary logbook, if it aint broke, don't fix it.

    Automotive reversing camera? I set one up in stepdaughters horse float so she can monitor the GeeGee enroute. Actually was a two channel setup, one for reversing the car to the float, one in the float.

    Flew to WANG with a mate and his wife one time to visit Airworld. I couldn't make it off the tarmac through the childproof gate! I'd never seen one before, had no clue how to open it. Georgina came to the rescue!

    Do you need something done to your prop?

    Not for the last 15 years or so, as far as I am aware. I went to his place one time to see a three blade in development. Actually, that would have been closer to 20 years ago I think.

    AUST Performance Propellers was Mick Dye, Gippsland Victoria, probably 15 plus years ago.

    Close, but no bananas. And I'm just using the AIP facts for the result. 1/2 point bonus for Jase because it's technically viable.

    Quiz time: Tower says: ABC, you are number three following a Cessna on downwind, expect your base turn on my call. What do you read back? And why. (Just going to get some popcorn.)

    OOPS. Somehow this ended up in the wrong thread - was meant to be in the readbacks thread..... MOVED. (don't reply here, ignore it/me/whatever.)
