    Andrew, you can read the whole story here http://www.recreationalflying.com/forum/incidents-accidents/99036-ultralight-down-outback-nsw.html I made the call on the area frequency and it was picked up by Melb Centre. Apparently, they cleared the frequency for me. Once I was down, they couldnt hear me and I was communicating with an RPT called Brindabella 399 who was transferring the info to both Melb and the CFI of Tooradin who was looking for me. There was about 5 aircraft that had left Tooradin to make the flight to Broken Hill and he wasnt far away. Once he found us and assured Melb Centre we were OK, they cancelled the emergency. I can still repeat the Mayday call word for word because I remember at the time hoping I wouldnt get into trouble for making it. Silly isnt it. ATC was great and I cant believe how quickly and smoothly everything happened to find us and make sure we were OK. Apparently my wife in Melb was informed that something had happened but that I was OK within half an hour of my Mayday Call Boy did she yell at me when I got home Cheers Bryon

    I worked with a band once who had a guitarist by the name of Michael Hunt. No one called him Mike There was also a weightlifter/health guru in Melbourne about 30 years ago by the same name and he had a health club at the old Melbourne Baths on the cnr of Swanston St and Victoria Parade. He was called Mike

    Have you ever made a Mayday call? Why? When? Do you still think about it? Has it improved your flying? Do you think our experiences will benefit others? Should we have a Mayday Club that meets each year at Natfly? (for a drink together) I am not the only one to experience an engine failure and emergency landing. Can we get together and share those experiences?

    Thanks Maj, As a baby boomer, my problem is whether to cash in my appreciating assets for a depreciating asset or to borrow the money and write it off as a normal operating expense Do I keep my money or spend it all and depend on the government for a living??? Oh, the dilemma of it all........ to spend or not to spend....... To be a burden on society ....... or not????? PS I am still working.... do I retire and live off the govt .....or do I keep paying my way

    Bass, I understand your concern But, if I dont know how a plane will react with different control inputs or how to counteract a situation, I am no good to myself or my passenger I would rather know what a spin feels and looks like than inadvertantly get myself into one and not know what to do to get out of it Besides, I might enjoy the feeling of +4 gs inverted:laugh: Cheers Bryon

    I want to do an aerobatics course. Only because it will teach me to be able to handle a plane in unusual situations. RAA does not teach you that. I wll feel much more comfortable knowing how to get out of a spin if one occurs etc.
