I had a short jaunt on Sunday, wind was strong here too. It does test you out, I did this one alone and felt better after the instruction a few weeks earlier.

Worst out of that is if is what happened there is a mass murderer out there in power.

Leonardo summed it up best; “Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward. For there you have been, and there you will always long to return.“ if only he had an LSA. welcome back.

Sometimes it is just an arrival you walk away from, usually resulting in hurt pride if anyone witnesses it.?

Mate of Seller is simple answer. I did try to PM you but would not let me. it had an oops message. cheers clinton

Mine was the perfect example. 264hrs TT, should be good I thought. We made 15.5hrs home with only minor problems. Training in it had the nose wheel leg mounts crack out. Whilst rectifying this found more and more bushes flogged out, and with all the bolts being cbc 8.8 grade I started replacing them with aircraft bolts in imperial size with new bushes. Also found all pivot bolt points on undercarriage and elevators out of alignment drastically. With lots of time working most have been sorted. Then one day i moved the ailerons and realised there was 1/8” play in the bushes. These are built in to a fibreglass flaperon. I have made bushes and sourced a new torque tube in 4130 as the alloy one is almost cut through from flogging. Still have to disassemble the other side and do yet. All this extra has made it a labour intensive project which has stalled. I know I need to finish and enjoy it just to get my financial input alone. I suppose I should make a list and just do one thing at a time until back together( if I don’t spot anything else).

I know it means spending some money that could be tight, but 1/2 hour to an hour with an instructor might be prudent. I found it reassuring to have one next to me after 6 months since flying. Only once did he hover on the controls, but left me to it. I will feel more confident on my next outing which I will make sooner rather than later.

I think the storeman at Tamworth tafe vechicle refinishing in 2000/01 when I was there was one of the pilots that bought that back. My teacher had told us a bit about it, I think his name was David.

Did this one ever get airborn. It looks rather busy.

That section looks aerobatic, your’e gonna need a bigger motor now.?

What about the Lazair. The 2 chainsaw motors, cling wrap covering and plastic props. there is one flying in Tamworth. It’s all up weight is about the equivalent of me.

Got a 1.6hr flight review in today, Beautiful weather after a front through yesterday. Felt good to be in the air again. will have to go again soon, not to lose the skills again after the long break.

I got scammed by these guys. Money taken on double up offer, no drones, had to get bank to recover through disputes centre. I questioned them through their website, response said no order in your name, please confirm details on card. I answered that email with details, no further response. Checked online and found many claims of fraud and quality not what promised. 4 weeks later money was back, no one disputed transaction from their end. Might be a numbers game. 80% disputes is still 20% profit

Is there such a thing as a ATC sim that could be used to practice radio calls, instead of talking to yourself like an idiot?

I had trouble downloading to a fairly new Samsung S10 5G phone. Kept getting messages stating invalid phone number. I ended up turning off, then on, then updating before it finally just worked. I have contact with customers still even though sparse, also all day around my son who works there, I don’t believe he could follow directions even if he was a train on a track. i would like to think it might help if I get the dreaded rona. all the searching I do online still pops up on every device I use even if not logged in, so somebody is spying anyway.

My son tracked the NZ Warriors Fokker journey this afternoon, when it got close enough we went out to spot it. we caught a glimpse of it on final for straight in on 30R at Tamworth. watch our fees go up now the council’s self image grows.

Booked an instructor from a school that is still working for next weekend. Yay! Finally get to fly again.

You get sponsorship also using real estate boards, advertising space is gold, First national, PRD, LJ Hooker, you could send them a bill to cover costs.

The helicopter would be way cooler. but does it count as irresponsible parenting letting you kids take off alone?

I get “ one at a time please” when I get on scales. good thing I have 440kg payload I suppose.

Good thing is, that it doesn’t look used or broken. But I would always wonder until I found its home.

too many landing on Quebec freeways could do that to you.

more so do they have a vaccine or chemical destroyer of this sh@tful thing. They were spraying what? every where and are now operating again. I know life is disposable over there but how is this so.

You forgot open the roller door in your check list:wave:

Another sad day for aviators and the families of these men. Media showed a Pawnee ag type aircraft. is it a Raaus plane or GA.
