The empire building proceeds apace...

you can fool some of the people, all of the time and all of the people, some of the time.Did you think that you where one when you are the other?

only the stupidest of the stupid believe the greens run the country, you'd have to be stupid to believe the greens run the country.Most industry reforms like this are driven by global trends, big European and American manufacturers are using the law to lock cheaper Asian manufacturers out of global markets.

Don't bet on it. "some" might survive but we now have the capacity to totally destroy ourselves by wrecking the environment, and overpopulation with social disintegration and unrest. Plastic residue is everywhere . Drugs are chucked down the toilet when not used and end up in the food chain. There's still radioactive residues in the dust of the Australian desert. (1 Microgram of plutonium will kill you) left over from the ridiculous atom bomb test the Brits did here and the prevailing winds put it all over the country. First ever instances of extreme weather events are almost everyday happenings. Massive forest clearing going on at unprecedented rates. Polar ice melting. Sea levels WILL rise. Glaciers are receding.. All sounds like gloom... I'm not the cause .. Only the messenger and I could keep writing but you'd lose interest for several reasons. You already know... and the others who don't want to know. Nev

on google earth there appears to be 2 airstrips, one beside the birdsville track and the other possibly the property one?

Does "Carol" have a last name?

Nah, electric is the way of the future.

If you look back to the successful Natflys, RAA had one of those but squeezed her out.

Raa Aus had it, stuffed it, tried again with another player, now its stuffed again. Maybe someone will learn eventually. Its not rocket science, its about RECREATIONAL flying, not big business, empire building or huge sums of money. Dont tgive me the "move with the times" garbage, look what happens when big business, empire building and ego's get involved. Disgusted by the whole deal.

I dont know, never having owned a brolly prop. I did buy new pitch blocks from the states in sizes 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 degree but finished up using the recommended 16 degree ones from brolga. (that being said, I had to enlarge the bolt holes in the American ones but that was simply a matter of running the correct drill size through the holes. The supplied Australian pitch blocks were fine.

Deja Vue...Temora version 2. We had it, wanted bigger and better, a la big business...now we have a cluster.... and no airshow. Yep, thats good management and progress. Just sayin..

Spin recovery training is only useful for pilots completing an aerobatic endorsement. Should a non aerobatic pilot inadvertently enter a spin, they will have little chance of recovering. Having said that, spin awareness training is a must - all pilots should learn the likely causes of inadvertent spin entry and taken to that point just prior to entry and taught to recover at that point. The most common stall / spin accidents occur in the circuit and usually below 1000' AGL, a competent aerobatic pilot would be doing well to recover from that height let alone a non aerobatic pilot. Slow flight / stall recovery training is generally very poorly taught in current flight training.

I think the main value in spin training, and any training in recovery from unusual attitudes would be the confidence for the trainee in their abilities, and the knowledge that, if they ever got into strife in the air, they had the knowledge, and confidence to right the situation if at all possible. Hopefully that would never happen, but confidence in the aircraft and your abilities is a major advantage when flying in other than perfect conditions.

The sort of thing a school has to present has to look like a "real" aeroplane. What you and I like wouldn't sell. How many people in RAAus "build" their planes. That saves over 1/3rd of the cost . Glass panel, autopilot etc..Carbon fibre, C/s, retracts. 145 knots. Nev

at 300 plus an hour I would never have started flying, would you not pay that and go GA in a 172, 182 etc. Seems the term recreational means rich...

Unfortunately, although Bolly props are good, the price is a problem for the average working pilot.

Does the "plastic props" refer to the original brolga props, the 3 blade I use has fibreglass blades, dont know where the "plastic" came from...???

can someone tell me where the old surplus went and why are we now running at a loss. Obviously progress is an expensive step.

On the subject of both organisations, I hope the ELAAA gets up and running soon because the way RAA Aus is increasing fees etc it wont be long before it becomes cheaper to register everything GA experimental and save some dollars.

Wire in a 12V cigarette lighter into the dash then use the usb charger for your Ipad etc. Never has a problen in 5 years.

take off the air filter, get someone to slowly operate the throttle (with the engine NOT running) and see if they are opening at the same gap.

Why would you want to coat the brolga...the resin does not wear, if you want it shiny, use a car polish designed for resin coats. Balance problems with clear coating.

done and sent. There may be 2 organisations but I dont think EAAA are operational yet are they? Where are their manuals for us to look at? Sorry Keith, at the moment RAA are the only organisation we can use and untill the other comes fully on line, we have to deal with it. Unfortunately, the manuals are in and not a great deal we can do about it, as we have no current point of comparison.

A casa satisfaction survey would come under the heading of Oxymoron surely...

An interesting email from RAA puts many of these concerns to rest for those willing to look with and open mind.
