Anatomy of a fake CO2 sensor

Radio calls in the circuit
tillmanr replied to old man emu's topic in Student Pilot & Further Learning
At the Ausfly events I participated in at Narromine and Temora, the ground radio operators were purely advisory. They did not and stated they would not control the traffic.

Same runway. -
Best 'out of the box' combo for skyecho2?
tillmanr replied to danny_galaga's topic in Instruments, Radios and Electronics
I ran a Skyecho for a couple of years connecting easily with my iPad 9.7 and backup mini. Easy instructions from Ozrunways to get ICAO registration and then setup on the iPads. Simples -

You would then need to restrict parking beside these installations to only EVs to be effective. I am sure this would find wide acceptance in parking poor inner suburbs, not.

@Old Koreelah, the local fire brigades in the country may have shiny toys but the volunteers don’t have the time or energy to be maintaining roadside reserves.

Ian, a friend in Victoria has to declare the distance that their EV travels each year for taxing purposes. Something like 2 cents per kilometre.

Channel 9 reporting a B17 and Kingcobra crashing at a Dallas air show. Both aircraft into the dirt. Lots of grief for many people.

Weren’t GM making aircraft engines during WW11?

The replica is steered by wing warping. The pilot is prone and head first from memory. Not for me at any price.

I was at Narromine when Keith Englemann, an very experienced test pilot flew the replica and it frightened him. He flew along the strip, had the aircraft manually turned around and flew a some way back down the strip. That was enough for him.

Why do we board airliners from the left?
tillmanr replied to pmccarthy's topic in Aircraft General Discussion

Moving an Ultra-light from NSW to TAS?
tillmanr replied to shaz's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
As per the VicRoads site trucks are different to light vehicles. You can overhang 1.2m over the front but nothing to the rear. Small trailers also cannot have rear overhang. -
Moving an Ultra-light from NSW to TAS?
tillmanr replied to shaz's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
In Victoria nothing is allowed to project beyond the vehicle. This is enforced in some areas by the RTA. In the Kyneton area you can’t have a plastic down pipe sticking out the back of your vehicle. The RTA training facility is here. No rule of thumb (4 feet or 1.2m for younger folk) allowed. -
