  1. An RCD, an RCCB and Earth leakage circuit Breaker are all the same device. They measure the current to the load, and the current from the load, if they are not equal the current that is different will magnetically open the circuit Breaker. Regularly test them by pressing the test button. If the current goes through you and returns through the earth there will be a residual current and trip, BUT if it goes back through the path leakage Breakers there is no residual then there is no trip. You are electrocuted.
  2. Electrocution active to neutral is not protected by an earth leakage circuit Breaker
  3. If you use an "electrician screwdriver " make sure that you test it prior to and after identifying potential on a conductor
  4. Are you saying Brown is earth? I hope that you are being facetious. Better not write that herr for fear someone may use it.
  5. Already happened at Cessnock.....well that was 10 years ago. For the way they charge it probably still is happening. Some pilots would report "Aircraft turning Base etc" no callsign. I moved my aircraft to Maitland because of the unsafe acts. I was on final when an unannounced ultralight turned onto base in front of me, no radio call. I had announce turning base.
  6. Always make a radio call, use a Qantas &^& call sign, just say "Cessna xxx" in front of it. All around know what type of aircraft, but identification is uncertain. Switch off aircraft ID before, it worked in the old days before aircraft identity systems. I believe that it happened a lot at Cessnock where landing fees were exuberant.
  7. Reports are coming in of an aircraft that landed on a Wedderburn roof, apparently at the airstrip. Ambulance rescued an occupant.
  8. No it seems to have just vanished. Good luck with the restoration. You should have fun flying her.
  9. Under Experimental rules you can maintain an aircraft if you built it AND you do a maintenance course every so often, and pay money for the course of course. Seems a rip off if you ask me.
  10. That would be great. But I live in Sydney, nearest airport 40 minutes away. Cowra would be great to join. If I lived closer I would join Cowra. Often thought of having a few days every so often. I would like to tinler, the facebook aircraft does not show with wings on...possible hard landing twisting main spar, that is a total rebuild in that aircraft.
  11. Well, aircraft reregistered then sold, 4 years later being sold again. To me seems like a big problem. Reported not flown since 2017, deregistered 2021, then sold, now new owner wants to sell.....mmmmm. Looks like possible corrosion or similar problem. Got me worried, scared even.
  12. I am looking at buying a 19 class aircraft that has had RAA registration but it has lapsed. How difficult is it to get reregistered? What is the yearly cost for registered RAA aircraft?
  13. I was actually serious LOL
  14. Don't declare Cialis. You can't fly for 25hrs after taking one, and they are talented one a day. Not that I would ever need Cialis no no not at all. What does Viagra and Cialis do to you that you can't fly? Anyone know?
  15. I usually look to see who's paying
