safely isolated in the garage, in, a single seat aircraft.!

UP UP AND AWAY.

CLEAR-PROP, CHOCKS AWAY.

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.

Might end up like a bug eyed sprite with custom made bulge to fit ?

I liked Mark’s work and Brian’s. I keep all my mags in those plastic magazine racks. Going back to old issues is interesting when searching for stuff you know is there, what else you find. I have my old 1994 AUF mags still in the shed in mono colour lifo paper. At least the drop of subscription will cost less at this time.

I Bought aerolites Taxi and Landing from online (ebay i think) They fitted straight into standard holders, same screw joiners on rear. My Ampmeter use to go ballistic the moment i turned any lights on with the generator and pop the fuse if on too long. Now needle sits still, people can see me miles out when coming into airfield in daytime. I feel a bit safer being visible with such bright lights.

What if you have a training session wedding with the instructor who is also a celebrant. Twice the fun party ?

Bugger the politics. I just want to go for a fly. My plane has sat since November except for quick return from maintenance base to storage due to getting sick on a cruise, then fires, then storms, now a bloody virus. It sucks. When I did go to change the oil after 3.5hrs use on calender time, the bloody brakes decided to fail on one side so I couldn’t fly it then. After close to 6 months with bugger all time in the air, do I need a check ride for my own piece of mind or do I trust myself to get it right.

if I can fix the brakes I might just give it a go and try to forget about all the stuff going wrong, on the ground.

Border Force allowed 2,700 people from a cruise ship disperse across our most populous city, having performed no scrutiny, with the vague instruction to "self isolate". These people should have been conveyed to a secure lodging (no shortage of large hotels nearby) and TESTED for god's sake. Who knows how many secondary (and tertiary...and quaternary) infections that "oversight" has caused. This level of bufoonary by those charged with monitoring the bio-security of the place should be treated as a serious crime!

Already hit the country in Tamworth, on the news last night-“we weren’t stopped only given a piece of paper with advice on isolation”. So what did they do, hop on several trains to Tuggerah and drive home. How many people will have contact infections now. READ THE PAPER AND FOLLOW IT. grown ups shouldn’t have to have their hands held over this. These people raced onto a cruise boat 2 weeks before, so not to miss out on a trip that insurance wouldn’t cover. We were already into this problem at that stage and advised to cancel unnecessary travel.

Now it is just adding to a bigger community problem.

I was wondering about this today. what happens if you fly over the line, does a F35 shoot you down or do the Maverick thing and fly upside down above you.

Ouch

How about we have like a sausage sizzle at home where every member (who can) puts in $2 on 1 weekend a month like at Bunnings. I prefer to donate here than to homeless kitty cat shelters etc.

we have lost most of our aviation orientated magazines that are relevant to most of us.

i like my forum time here and don’t have or want FB, snippy chat or any of the others.

cheers

That’s great to see local aviation getting a boost from the government instead of a setback.

It makes you look when an eagle soars right past you at 5500 feet. I’ve had a couple close and you start scanning for their mate when they do pass you.

Hi Bex,

what are the fibreglass trays for?

Does that mean they cannot be registered as warbirds for use?

what good is a turbo prop that you cannot fly.

expensive ornament.

Filling long range tanks on the 182 is an Ouch at 359 litres of Avgas, But probably a lot less of an ouch will be if it stops in a bad place. I find the gauges are useless and dip it every time then fill to brim if going somewhere as I burn 50LPH.

I think I need a smaller plane.

Oops! Would be the way. Unless the exhaustion was due to not turning on the right tap, then it is Doh!.?

Like Old Koreelah said our area has plenty to do And see, plus it’s looking better green.

If you drop in around Moonbi or Tamworth it would be nice to meet another forumite.

Cheers Clint

You could call it the Bendrbetter. Or like Chrysler by Chrysler (who else, you'd get sued) Bendrbetter by Bexrbetter.

nice looking machine Bex.

OME did you grab them. I would like to get hold of some more for my young bloke to read. If not could you pm me where and I could call them.

cheers

cool video, maybe that's why we shouldn't fly at night. Owl wake turbulence:smile:

If you have too many burgers( like 100) it should still lift you off, without the fertaliser in the hold

lets hope for good weather and I will come across the ranges for it, the bird needs some airtime, this summer has sucked for flying weather here.

I cringe when i see people pull of the road in their cars straight into long dry grass with a hot catalytic converter. In the current conditions it is risky. It seems too hard to find a gravel pull off or driveway when the phone rings.
