  1. G'day Ryan. Don't quit trying to warn people if you think there's a problem. By the same token when people give you some feedback put aside the stuff that's a bit harsh and have a good look at what their experience may be offering. Don't blame others for your mistakes. The caretaker isn't to blame for you not having the take off performance, but yes it's right to warn others about your experience and that the grass is long at the moment. Licensed airfields are suffering the same problem here in nsw at the moment with a a wet Period and grass growing too quick while tractors can't get there to slash. Unlicensed airfields are not really CASA's responsibility and either way it's always the pilots responsibility to assess conditions and performance. While it may seem harsh (and some comments are harsh) to have this pointed out, there's no arrogance or agenda, it's the way it is. You're the captain of that aircraft. You've had a bad day. Warn others, but take responsibility. Cheers
  2. Ryan, you've done one right thing and that is to share the incident here. Your interpretation of the incident appears poorly thought out and that's why you're getting some flack here. Fill out an incident report and come to terms with what you missed out in your decision making: - landing on what was unuseable for your aircraft and/or skill. - taking off on what what unuseable for your aircraft and/or skill - continuing takeoff when you were in doubt. If in doubt abort. This should be covered in your pre-takeoff brief. That's not an extensive list, but hopefully you come to terms with what is your responsibility as a pilot. Remember to take responsibility, not just on unlicensed strips like this, but anywhere. I hope you push aside your defensiveness at peoples remarks here and accept your role in this near accident and have a safer time as you learn more about flying. I teach others now and the best bit is that everyday I learn more about flying and myself. A large amount will remain a mystery to the end. Be careful with the little bit of knowledge you have.. Cheers
  3. G'day Camel, just some internal pains I think. Biggest issue for us is that AUSFLY has been kicked into touch this year with no warning and short notice. There is a topic on this site where you can still say you're going to Narromine anyway. Not an official SAAA thing, but a few (I'm going to get involved too) have decided to have a gathering anyway.
  4. Thanks Dazza. I had a nice plane , but have another on the way, that'll be Cub No.3.
  5. G'day all. I've been made aware of this site through the problems with SAAA at the moment. I hope people chatting here and elsewhere can come up with some sort of solution. Besides that, it looks like a good place to find help and help others.♠
