BLA82

I have a few batteries that a continually on charge. My boat the moment it comes home and is washed is plugged onto two. One for the main battery and the other the water snake. Been that way for 5 years and I haven’t had to buy a new battery or have never had a flat battery. Thirdly my motorbike. Can go 3 months sometimes between rides and again never had a issue. I think there are two things to consider, the quality of the chargers and the quality of the batteries. All three of my charges cost nearly $300 each and came with a 5yr warranty. All batteries a kept installed and never removed.

FFS people dramatise situations

Some personal hostility there perhaps?

My a/c I bought recently has a camera fitted below, total wank! I wouldn't waste my time fitting one or using one!!

Evans Head, Feb this year. Zoom in to see the speed record claimed.Yakovlev Yak-3 - Wikipedia

There was a very fast Yak 3 at Evans Head last Feb, but it had a big radial.

Sorry guys I think i started a argument with my what engine question. I didnt mean any mallace was just curious

What engines are in these?

Does anyone on here know the pilot? Very sad indeed

Slipstream revelation I think. There can’t be that many around?

They closed the road so it could take off

Must be on a pension..... Cheapskate

I don't blame anyone for not jumping in to save someone, nobody knows how an unexpected accident effects people. I spent 10 yrs in EMS and trust me it's nothing like the wannabe hero's here say!!!

Reading my first post about how he could have still been alive and now reading the autopsy......maybe the person who filmed the incident might feel a little guilty?

That just sounds like a lot of noise for no real benefit. It would annoy the crap out of me

Tragic

$50k Light Sport Aircraft? That’s one expensive drifter lol. Anyways it’s great to see a good outcome with no injuries.

Looks like a drifter. Anyone know the pilot?

That’s one very bent plane

Well a year has past. You will always be remembered. RIP Mate

Well Karma will be a bitch

I can’t get over the fact that not one of those muppets put down their phone and jumped in. Who knows he might have just been unconscious and trapped(not likely but possible).

On 25 November 2016, an Airborne Edge XT-912 microlight, registered 34-8401, collided with terrain at Hadlow, Queensland. Both of the aircraft’s occupants were fatally injured.

The Coroner investigated this occurrence and requested technical assistance from the ATSB, with respect to analysis of CCTV footage and examination of structural components from the accident aircraft. To facilitate this support, on 12 December 2016 the ATSB initiated an external investigation under the provisions of the Transport Safety Investigation Act 2003.

The ATSB completed its technical assistance at the end of April 2017. Any enquiries in relation to the investigation should be directed to the Central Queensland Coroner’s office.

Hi RollerballYou should not shut down a engine if you are going to crash land as if one of the blades are down it may tip your plane.Props bend easy when they are spinning.
