I had a couple arrive in a quite new dual cab Navara, to pick up a week old poddy calf. I thought they must be going to restrain it in the back somehow, but no, they opened the back door, it had the seat folded up and a rug on the floor, and in went the calf. They then decided to have a yap for a while, nek minnit, the calf is in the front, no worries, they pull him out and poke him in the back again.

If that was me, by the time I got home the calf would have crapped on the console or found somewhere else really good, like down the seat belt retractor.

I think I read on here a while ago, that Morgan Aeroworks make canopies.

What the hell!!!!! This is happening way to often? What the hell do you do with a stolen plane?

What gives ? You have a printed copy of the magazine but there is not even this copy on the RA-Aus website. How does this happen?

She sure looks the goods....

I think someone earlier mentioned about a dozen.

You obviously don't understand.

I don't think it will fly .

Reason being, the worst offenders do it because they have an agenda, to get their views in front of as many people as possible, that is why they use these forums - they are popular.

I know you have cracked the whip about this before, and everybody apologises, then amazingly within hours we are back at it.

A quick and dirty way of achieving your goal would be to pick several of the worst offenders and lock them out of the off topic forum.

Yes when I used to be a real pilot flying trikes I had leather pouches that fitted over the mike foam, worked a treat, BTW Bill some people can do more than walk and chew gum (2 Axis)Alf

Hi Don, I'm having trouble driving this software. Saw your message come thru but now cant figure out how to get back to the PM with your ph number. Not an easy site to drive

I'm also doomed, where am I going to get parts for my crystal set !

What do a pregnant woman, frozen beer, and burned pizza have in common?

In all cases there is a man who forgot to take it out quick enough.

What about the EMU?

I know, it was God.

If you watch a white cockatoo drop out of the top of a poplar tree onto a cow turd full of half digested grain, you'll see what I mean

I have finally had a chance to catch up with my reading and had a chance to read the article in Dec 2015 "The State of the Industry"At the end of the issue there are a few random facts, there are now 383 less aircraft registered from 2013 than 2015. I wonder where they all went? I am assuming that the RAA assumes they are all being flown illegally. Its a big drop over 2 years considering the number of new aircraft being sold and used aircraft imported from the US is probably greater number.

 

Assuming that, there are 600-700 new ex-RAA aircraft floating around the country unregistered!

 

The other thing I noted was also related.

 

In November's issue I noted in the stats for hours had dropped along with the pilot numbers, from 2013 to 2015. Number of pilots is down 455 pilots from 9822 to 9367 and hours are down 2.09 hours from 25.25 to 23.19hours. Its not really until you add all these numbers together you realise the drop from 24800 hours in 2013 to 21720 in 2015, that's a drop of over 2000 hours.

 

Assuming that half those hours are done in flying school aircraft you can see how big a hit the flying schools are taking.

People who think my funny posts are hilarious.

I'll try duct tape to start with... And then contact then to see what they have.

Punkin Head at Yarrawonga was making leather microphone covers with just small holes in the mouth side. I'm not sure if the purpose was for noise reduction, but maybe worth a try?

Go and buy two Flycom helmets with built in headsets. Expensive, but the best, no more issues

Hi John, there has been no changes to anything to my knowledge, but something must have changed accidentally because it's three steps through the menu to change the PTT setting , and I certainly didn't do that.

I tested it this evening with the new setting and it worked perfectly.

Regards Bill

. How come Noah didn't try to get the dinosaurs in the ark?

Because the universe is only 6300 years old. Everyone in the USA knows that.

Maps and claims on websites dont mean much we found out in expensive experiment.

When you go to purchase an Optus device from their agent in the next town (27km away) they warn us , that we have "no coverage out there "

The MGL guy got back to me today.

There is a setting in the radio to "join" or "seperate" the two headsets in the PTT . He said seperate them.

I've just been and had a look, and sure enough it was set to join. I have changed it and hope to fly with a pax in the morning. I will report the results tomorrow , but it looks promising.

Buggered if I know how it got changed, because, as I said it used to work fine and it is several steps through the menu which I have never even had the need to open before.

Regards Bill

I could be a case of it throwing out its through bolt/s and losing a cylinder- possibly.

If it was a Jabiru- plenty would scream about how bad they are before knowing anything.
