Please guys respect the topic  

this was about fatal plane crash at Boonah 
 

The forum should of been about condolences and leaning.

 

start a another topic if you are lonely and want to talk about  shit 

 

 

💯

Can I please ask that all the speculation be raised in another chat. This seems to have gone off topic. People have lost a great mate and I'm sure friends and family don't need to see the what ifs. Just my 2 cents.

RIP 

These things make RAA planes look bad.

A father and two very young kids were lost. My sincere condolences to the poor mum.

Absolutely tragic

I'd say the original comment by OneTrack was relevant as an aside in the discussion. That's about all they were in that context.

 

Let me say, that having just gone through this whole thread, I suspect that BLA82 and FlyBoy1960 are acquaintances of the survivor, and probably the pilot. Both these members are obviously grieving the loss and injury and are at the same time giving some support to the families. Their vigorous defence of the good name of the pilot, and hopes for the recovery of the passenger show real comradeship. Perhaps the vigour of the defence lead to the short, sharp comment the tone of which was complained of.

 

This incident has been fodder to the armchair analysts, as every other reported incident seems to be. The sorry thing is that as much as we pour out our thoughts around the time of an incident, there never seems to be reference to final reports which are where we learn if a mistake caused the incident.

 

At Post #32, The Administrator called for this topic to close down, but it wasn't. Perhaps from now on we could restrict posting in this thread to reports on the condition of the survivor, and in due course, reference to the report of the investigation into the incident. Once the Coronal Inquest has been commenced, all the evidence comes into the public domain.

Not true, I have no link to any of the crash victims, I am even unsure of their names. Seriously mate if you think that comment was justified you are just as bad as the original poster.

MODERATOR'S COMMENT:

This comment was reported to Moderators for being rude and nasty. The way BLA82 expressed his disagreement with OneTrack did not advance the discussion.

 

It is perfectly OK to disagree with other people, but firstly, do it politely, and secondly, put something down that supports the reasons for your disagreement. By doing so, you advance the discussion. In this case a simple "Are you sure about that?" posed to OneTrack would have elicited the response as given in Post #142.

 

So, argue your case fervently. Attack the content. Play the ball, not the man.

Well I will put it out publicly I don't apologise for what I said nor do I take it back as the comment that I responded to was disrespectful and a disgracefull thing to say when family and friends of the victim could see it. I find it more disappointing that as a moderator you would spend more time justifying the fact the conversation should be advanced and to whom who reported it I must say you are just as bad. I have been a member of this forum for over 10 yrs and the way it has changed where people get reported for sticking up for what's right is sad.

Please tell me how stating the survivability % of a burns victim who is still undergoing treatment is justified or relevant?????

The general rule of thumb for burns is, that you add the percentage of burns to the age of the person, and if the total number is over 100, then the chances of the burns victim surviving are slim.

In this case, I'd have to opine the prognosis is grim. Many severe burns victims survive for 3 to 4 weeks before they succumb.

What a absolute sh..t comment to make mate, wake up to yourself.

I fail to see how he flew straight into it. I know I wasn’t there but there doesn’t even look like a last minute roll or anything.

It's a trike so not surprising. Better L/D than a brick but not much.

I wonder what piece that was hitting the ground first. It was absolutely hooting and going 3 times the speed the airframe was

So....... no different to the F 35 then.......

Lets keep it local. 1000 Jabirus each with autopilot and a 200kg bomb. They couldn’t stop them all. Same cost as a,F35. ?

The flags on their transmitters these days are usually only for wind direction but also some electric clubs still do dogfights with streamers and the aircraft streamer matches the transmitter colours. Fm and Am radios using crystals have been banned in model aircraft for over 6 yrs

Sorry spacesailer but crystals havent been used in quality rc units for nearly 10 years. Its all 2.4ghz now and with the thousands of freq combinations you would never interfere with them.

A quick rego search shows that aircraft has been binned twice before. Maybe after the now third it might be time for scrap

Drone my ass

Hey guys,

I came across this on the ATSB website. It has editions from 1953 onwards

Aviation Safety Digest

Biggest lot of Sh...t I’ve seen

Just waiting for a mate

As a responsible drone pilot, i'd suggest you do a little bit of research into the background of this video.However, we certainly appreciate your concerns.

Irresponsible drone flying concerns us all, and so it should, but there's also a lot of of BS hype out there .

 

Just check it out properly. even you might be in for a surprise.

It will be interesting to know what she was doing so low over a town/city that she couldn't get to the outskirts a a possible field in which to land. Sure, she might have been taking off and was totally legal in her flight path. Bloody good job to miss wires more than cars.

Jabiru seem quick to publish when somthing isn’t their fault but it’s tumbleweeds for weeks when it is. Oh that’s right I’m Jab bashing deleted here I come.
