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.

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.

Hi All Well the saga is almost complete

I had the aircraft inspection yesterday and all went extremely well so the Sav is signed off and ready to go and today we flew out to Lynfield in Bills aircraft and I did my flight test with Kevin Walters and passed all ok so I am a happy camper. The Sav paperwork and my pilot application will go into the mail tomorrow and on saturday I am away to the south seas for some rest and relaxation for a week. The paperwork should be back the week after I get back from the cruise and all I need to do now is balance the carbys and do the 3 minute full power engine run then she is ready to go. Exciting times now...I can't wait to start flying off the 25 hours even if it is only 25 NM radius from caboolture

 

Mark

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.

Hello Hugh and .I`ve no idea what OHS stands for!

 

Frank.

That`s my old Chook, I built. Flew damn well too. I could stall it, hold the stick all the way back and by working the rudder so it wouldn`t drop a wing too far, I could have brought it all the way to the ground,fairly gently!Frank.

Ps, I built it in the middle of the harvesting season, completely from scratch,making most of the parts by hand and I was so keen to get it in the air that I`d work on it every spare moment I had and finished it in three months...If anyone wants to know where it is now, just ask and I`ll tell you!

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

I'm confused here Mike. I see by your earlier post your 9a is based at Bundaberg, but your location is Kununurra. My previous statement was for NT and the top of WA. We want to do it this year, but if all the planets do not align for this year, then it will be next year. And that distance from Brissy, was by car. But you probably know where Watts is :))

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

So did you support the move for RAA to be able to do this at some point in the future?

Cheers

Should not our RAAus accident investigation team be involved?

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
