We both got a shock. I remember the eagle turning his head towards me, folding his wings and dived away.
Well, I was bigger than him.
Good decision.
PHIL.
Check out these encounters on utube from Skypig999.
Before CAGIT there was the 'Pis' ton Broke' trophy.
You had to travel min 130knm to claim it. Last location I can trace it to was Moonta in SA, as printed in the June '03 AUF Mag. C'mon let's find it & resurrect for a new life.
Lots of learned peoples on here, maybe some old enough to remember.
Would anybody know the whereabouts of the forerunner of CAGIT?.
Perhaps we could bring life back to it & get it travelling again...............anybody?.
Amazing the difference 'tween the different industries;
AUTOMOTIVE: Manufacturer identifies a fault, works out a fix then does a recall. Fixed free.
AIRCRAFT: Manufacturer identifies a fault, works out a 'fix'? then publishes a service bulletin/AD which requires the owner to purchase the parts & fit/have fitted at their own expense.
Encountered carb ice twice, base & final at YSWH during flight from YWTO in the Monoplane, ch fixed it.
Then fan stopped at touchdown, 30 dg moderate humidity, should have left it on.
