What is the allowable stall speed? The stall speed for the Cricri flaps down is 72 klm

Was just looking at the Raaus site andthe CAO 95.10 in particular and it seems the Cricri woud fall in this catagory. It seems multiple engines, retracts etc is fine along with any comercialy available building material. The aircraft must be no more than 300kg empty weight and the Cricri is only about 70-80kg. Am I interpreting this all wrong?

If you like Warbirds, I've managed to put some clips together from the 2010 Air and Land Spectacular. There is a Spitfire and FW190 owned by Terry Kronk. The clip is in the Warbirds section in the video library.

These machines are owned by Terry Kronk and were flown by himself and Bryce Wolf http://www.recreationalflying.com/forum/vbtube_show.php?do=tube&tubeid=436&name=air-land-spectacular-2010#watch

When I was plumbing a mate held down a couple of lengths of sewer pipe on his work ute with duct tape (100mph tape ) and took it up to the ton. The sewer pipe stayed in place and did'nt move a bit. All this was just to test the 100 mph therory.

Maybe everyone should keep a roll or two handy for that next recover job. A pity it only comes in grey as you would'nt need to paint it otherwise. All the same, would'nt it tear your heart out to see this when you show up at the airfield first thing in the morning.

Who needs a trailer?

So I take it a Cri-Cri is out unless it is VH registered and you have a twin engine rating on a PPL license. Its a pity because they are nice and small, relitively cheap to build and have a decent stall speed due to Junkers style flaps/flaperons and get along at a pretty good pace on nothing better then a pair of glorified lawnmower engines.

Yeah, it is a twin engine, twin prop job and looks to be about 2/2.5 meters long

Hi all, Where does the Cri-Cri stand as far as RAAus registration is concerned.

It might have been Your nephew Ian I went to School with and yes it would have been me in Barber st with the RC plane. I still have a couple but I havent had thumbs on sticks for a while.

G'day Stan, I went to school with your boys and you would most likley know my old man, Col Austin. Another bloke I Knew from when I lived out there(Cliff Colleen) is into Ultralights too. Cheers..................Peter Austin

Yes, it wouldbe interesting to put a face to a name. Cheers.............Pete

bump up

Ta Tommo, I have been wanting to fly for a long,long time and am hoping to get my pilot cert at Lone Eagle at Clifton but it all takes money. Im hoping to get things sorted and ready to start early next year. Heres hoping..........Pete

Hi all, I have been a member for quite a while but cant recall posting anything. My name is Peter and I live Just outside of Toowoomba QLD.I am 41, married, have a son(6) a daughter(15) and we also care for 3 other children aged between 4 and 7. Now you all know a little about me I am going to be extremly bold here, and ask something some of you might think unusal. But as it says in the Bible someplace :- "you have not because you ask not". So here goes..... If any one has any aircraft frames,part frames, engines,parts, gauges, or any recreational aircraft building products they no longer want or need, in any condition, and are willing to give them away, please,please,please contact me on :- [email protected] or PM me here at this forum.

Thanks Glen & Chris At Lone Eagle they start you on a Drifter as it is a little more hands on flying and a tail dragger, then they put you into the Jabiru. This way you get your endorsments for both types of landing gear and low and high performance aircraft. I think the cross country training is done in the Drifter as well as it is easier to look around you to get your bearings.

Thanks for the welcome Robbo.

G'day all, I am not a pilot as yet but hope to rectify this by the end of the year. I live in Toowoomba Qld and will try for my license at Lone Eagle Flying School at Clifton. They seem to be a freindly bunch out there and I will be looking forward to training with them. At the moment I am looking for a 2nd hand 2 seater airframe with or without engine that needs fixing up and is going cheap or free.If anyone can help please IM or email me.

Thanks all for the welcome. I am thinking of building a Jodell D18 and using a vw engine for a power plant. A two seater is a must have as the wife will be flying with me.

G'day all, I will be going through this site with much interest as I make my way through flight training and building my own plane.It is something I have wanted to do for a long time and it's time to do something about it.
