Yes. It is just like Samsung with the Galaxy Note 7 phones. The faulty batteries came from another supplier but Samsung is expected to stand behind their product.

The problem is that once a "Guide" is in place, before long it becomes more than just guidelines: it will morph into a strict "Policy". Does anyone on the Forum think that this rumoured (or proposed) increased medical standard for RA-Aus is linked to the increases in Maximum Take Off Weights? We're up to 600 kg. In my opinion, it this becomes heavier, we will get heavier medical requirements.

Those were the days: "ULTRALIGHTS AVIATORS ASSOCIATION"

Hi RA, I hope you're not fitting windscreen wipers to your Savannah! You'd be breaking a long-held, strong tradition that only British planes have them.

Yes, I would like to know too. The "creative" tag which was more useful in my opinion, has disappeared.

That's great to hear Marty. Keep up the good work!

...or wait for the BEX-2017 aircraft engine to roll off the production line!

Thanks MD! I read the story: that was quite a scare .

Well, we have the headline but no picture or story. Do you have more info, Exadios?

I suppose days are getting shorter now and nights longer in Sweden. You'll have to go for a flight on Saturday!

It's definitely worth doing. It will reduce the coefficient of drag to around half.

More and more people say "LPG gas" when the G stands for 'gas' already. The same to banking staff who say "ATM machine" when the M stands for 'machine' already. Their colleagues say "PIN number" when the N stands for 'number' already.

You haven't seen it yet?

Other annoying examples from North America include: 1. "Going forward" when the speaker means "into the future". 2. "It is what it is". That is so insightful. 3. "Solutions Focussed". This sounds wet to me. 4. "Price point". Get the point? 5. "Think outside the square", or "think outside the box". Why not throw the square (or box) away and just think? 6. "Synergise". Why not just work together?

A pet dislike of mine is when people say "wood off" when they intended to say "would have" .

It's also creeping into spoken language. For instance, when people want to use the bog/loo/dunny/toilet increasingly this is described as a bathroom ...even when no bath is actually in that room.

Hi John, Welcome to the forum. There's a wealth of information in here! ....especially Savannah related.

Very interesting article!

That is a pretty wild landing. There is the old adage "There are old pilots and bold pilots but there are no old, bold pilots". I wonder if Ernst Udet ever became old?

Hi Chris: a very warm welcome to the Recreational Flying forum!

Hello Paul, A very warm:welcome: to the Forum!

RA: are you saying that the new-beaut adjustable ICP seats are lighter than the original fixed seats?
