Hi Ian, does that mean any Mobile device? e.g. Ipad? Cheers

193 posts on this subject and all that has been stated is that a number of 24 Registered aircraft were grounded for what ever reason.

The DC3 is one of the larger aircraft that has to be wheeled on. I never did a 3 point landing when flying the DAK nor have I seen it done. Cheers

This appears to be going around and around and getting NO where. Rather than have 10,000 members ring their board (ex) board members wouldn't it be easier to have those board members who have resigned (if they have as nothing is on the webb site that I can see) post what they know here then a discussion can be had on those facts instead of trying to get to the bottom of the problem when we don't know what the problem in fact is.

Sport Pilot magazine March edition in the President`s Report, Mr Steve Runciman said quote "There are a number of other matters which will affect the organisation, including the introduction of the Recreational Pilots Licence by CASA and a legal matter currently being delt with by our insurers and solicitors". Does anyone know what this legal matter is all about? This may have something to do with the "resignations" which have yet to be confirmed as best as I can make out. Cheers

Nong, you have just posted what I have been thinking for along time. This is how things are run in countries like UK, NZ, Canada etc as far as I understand it. Cheers

Great stuff Mark. I was hoping all would fall in place for you so that you could go on that cruise and relax and be very excited and ready for the test flying on your return. Enjoy the cruise. Cheers

Good luck with the L4 inspection and Pilot Certificate test Mark. All will go well and you will be able to enjoy the holiday! Cheers

All the best with the final assembly, inspection and first test flight Mark. Cheers

Ocupational Health Safety Cheers

For us newbies Frank, is the "chook" a "Chinook" (Canadian design)?? You said you built her from scratch?? Interesting. Cheers

Mark, just watch the weight and balance, fuel tank capacity may need to be increased and of course the firewall will require some work! Cheers

G'day Bob, Yes we are currently living (camped) in Kununurra. I came over here 4 years ago for a 15 month contract at Argyle Diamonds as the ARO for the Aerodrome. This contract is now out till 30 Jun 13. VH-LAT is currently in our hangar at Bundy due no hangarage here in KNX. With the new instrument fit out (Dynon Skyview etc) we dont want to leave the aircraft out in the high humidity over the wet season up here. We get back to Bundy now and then for a fly though. I will try and catch up next time we are over. Keep in touch re trip north. Cheers

She looks great Bob. We will have to catch up some time. What strip are you flying out of? Cheers

Yes and I have been waiting for this to happen for a very long time. Cheers

Yes and a brief of the known facts published on the web site within 30 days.

Yes aircraft is a Piper Sport operated by a local Bundy Flying school. My condolences to the families of the crew.

Looking forward to it Ian. Cheers

This from memory is not the original person who was auctioning the aircraft. That person also auctioned a Piper Pacer and an aircraft engine type / model I cant remember at the same time. I wonder if the successful bidder first time round needs to move it on with out picking aircraft up hence still in YHCT. As Bones said above this is probably a scam though. Cheers

I see subject aircraft is back on Ebay (3rd time) with a buy now of 19K (Less than the cost of a new engine). Guess the original bidder didn't front with the cash. Can't of sold at the second auction either. Anyone in the know? Cheers

G'day Mark. Looks like you have achieved what you want in repositioning the flap lever. The factory may even take you up on the modification drawings! Glad to hear that the flying is going well. You mention "Bill" as the isntructor, is he from a Caboolture Flying School? You also mentioned doing the test out west so I gather Bill does not have Examiner approvals. Good luck with the training / test. and looking forward to hearing of the first flight of your aircraft. I hope you have got some hangarage sorted. Cheers

Flying dog you will enjoy. A great show and lets hope the weather is kind. I have not been for a number of years but have "displayed" the dakota (ZK-DAK) there in the late 90's when I was a pilot share holder. Cheers

I dont think it's your "first" solo but will be in the Sav. Good luck Mark and enjoy. Cheers

Hi Phil. I wont be able to make it down from Kununuura in our RV9A however, hope the day goes well for you all. Welcome to this forum also. Cheers

Hi Rob, welcome to the forums. Cheers
