  1. I have always thought that "Natfly" was a bit lame and "Bluey" like.Whereas the name used around Temora was Aus-Kosh. (I wonder if that has been registered by the Temora guys?)

     

    Which do you prefer?

    CAPTAIN what do you mean by bluey like? I think "Natfly"is fine easy for non flyers to identify as "national fly in [ "Aus-Kosh" no connection]

     

     

  2. Hey Rob, I think June is a much smarter option than Christmas time. We were told by Northern Territory Tourist Guide that you should only travel the top end between June & August. Either too hot or too wet the rest of the time. However make sure you have lightweight warm gear for night time.002_wave.gif.62d5c7a07e46b2ae47f4cd2e61a0c301.gif

     

     

  3. Yes, so it is. I'm gonna have to get it out of my head just because the aircraft is drifting or not parallel with the track its not called a side slip!

    INTERESTING THREAD ..What if you were approaching runway 5 with a 15k xwind @80degs,plane would crab,now apply more right rudder 10degs with wing down approach still steep.Or use 10degs of left rudder to present right side.Which would be best ?...Concider speed over ground to runway5 031_loopy.gif.e6c12871a67563904dadc7a0d20945bf.gif

     

     

  4. My two cents worth, for what its worth; not trying to start anything but this is my personal view. A parachute is a parachute, which is controlled by lines. A parachute with a motor is refered to as a powered chute. A hang glider is controlled by weight shift, the microlight being discussed is a glider with a motor on it being controlled by weight shift, therefore a motorised hang glider. A 3 axis ultralight could only be refered to as an aeroplane. All of these all have their place in the sky and our individual passions, irrespective of what we call them. :thumb_up:
