I carry a PLB in the motorhome...its registed  to me and the motorhome .

Just incase .

The black box's looked awfully  bent.

I'm 79/80 Kg depending on when I weigh myself through the day.

Have been this weight for about the last 30 + years or more. I used to be 72Kg prior.

I'm 74 and walk 4 plus Ks each morning .

Guess I'm not normal?

I don't own a metric tape...I never converted...I'm dyslexic with numbers Imperial works for me metric doesn't . The bus in my avatar is 36 foot long .

Looks like the pilot of the Corvus, stalled while inverted. You can see the sudden pitch, increasing angle of attack followed by a power on spin to the right. Was he really going to try a half roll followed by pull through a half loop? This might cause him to pull the stick back far enough to stall. A simple push while inverted and keep the roll going and he's have been OK.

My AFR instructor reckons you'd be surprise by the number of people who get inverted and simply pull the stick into their laps instead of push or pull to horizon and roll upright.

 

Aircraft stall when the pilot pulls the stick back too far. Airspeed and attitude have nothing to do with it. The stick is connected to the elevator which controls the angle of attack. I've long thought a direct readout of elevator position, say a rod that sticks up above the glareshield coaming when you pull the stick back to near the position that commands the stall angle would be a good idea.

 

Yes, I've heard that there is a lot of "unregistered" or Guerilla aviation in Russia. Same in Alaska I'm told and in Australia it begins west of Dalby I'm told also.

This is the problem with official regulation. Unless you have a fair bit of experience it is hard to know which regulations are the ones that prevent crashes and which are bureaucratic rubbish.

Army aviator friend says the Army knows then as "red" and "brown" regulations.

Should I keep my head down I'm camped 100ks west of Dalby at the moment .

Interesting watch.

Some of this stuff not well known about the LIPOs.

 

It beggers belief that anyone would just automatically think that a whole new battery technology can simply be bolted up to a standard Alternator for charging. Most should know by now that LiPOs can take a full charge voltage right up to fully charged and the current stays up there. This will result in alternator over heat unless you over size your alternators ro, as Victron suggest install a temp monimtoring management system to reduce the charge current as the alt temp rises.

 

Victron are one of the best in this field of research, I run some of their gear and about to run a whole more in off grid systems.

X2 on Victron

Building motor-homes , the one in the avata is number two have built two since .

At the present we have a 21'.6" caravan suitable modified to suit our needs .

And of-cause traveling the best country in the world .

No, HJ's, Aldi KFC and BP were off the fenced airport boundary. Your joy flight site would have been at the southern end of the north-south runway that the current lease-holders closed so they could commercialise the land on the northern boundary.

 

The corner of the airport near Milperra Road was a swamp which became a dumping ground. I'd hate, as a tenant, to have to suffer the consequences of a soil pollution test in that area.

I think I'm correct I used to take joyflights there... also from memory no runways just as the windsock dictated.. also was a farmer's Market on the corner. With the Milperra bridge opposite. I grew up there.

Vale Australian Aviation Museum, Bankstown.

 

When I was at Bankstown Airport last week, I noticed that the Australian Aviation Museum was gone. No planes. No buildings. Nothing but a redevelopment construction site. Also gone are the old Chieftain Aviation building and the other buildings at the corner of Tower Road and Starkie Drive.

You can't let aviation history and nostalgia stand in the way of non-aviation commercial development.

I'm pretty sure that where the Hungry Jack's is ,used to be where the joy flight were back in the 50's.

Bernie .

Seems to be a lot of aircraft flying past my area without transponders on...Helicopter just now as I type .

Bernie .

Bugga...what's that about a sow's ear ?

Bernie .

Every time I use a tap in our place it uses power we are on tank water . 20,000 gallons plus a bore .

It doesn't matter what power I use through the day , it's still cheaper than a packet of smokes , and it runs a complete household aircon and all .

I don't smoke .

Bernie .

I think Degilbo is a bit far from your place Ian ..I live a 100 Ks from any computer shop , we only go to town once a month .

I will just persevere .

Bernie .

I'm still stuck with the opp's thingy .

Bernie .

It's ok Red.i still use the forum just a few more hoops to navigate .

Bernie .

Bernie, what program do you use to connect to Recreational Flying and any other internet site? In previous versions of Windows it was known as Internet Explorer. Typical of Microsoft, when they introduced Windows 10, Internet Explorer was renamed Microsoft Edge.

I don't use a "program" to access rec/flying its a favorite on my screen...

I'm not computer literate...I cant follow what Ian has put up regarding cookies..What has been put up is not what I get when I do as asked ??
