    ................. maybe that's the answer - always check prop fine, gear down I confess in my narrow experience on types and flight time - I never do - cause planes I fly don't have that stuff

    i notice there are no seatbelts ................. or any form of restraint for the double bed

    that would not be a nice paperwork thing to discover the thing that interests me is that you have say an empty 280 kg plane that is legal in Europe @ 450 kilos - 170 kilo useful load in USA or Oz its say 600 kilos - same plane ? - 320 kilo useful load ................. but essentially the same plane ? ........... something doesn't seem right
  4. johnm
    there's plenty of google material where the Euro designers claim that the 450 / 472 threshold limits what they can achieve I imagine say Tecnam and your Legend craft fall into this category Csot ? - they are designed for either market and flown at 450 in Europe and say 600 in USA / Oz ............. is that a fair summary ?
  5. johnm
    my understanding is Europe ultralights are designed to 450 kg but they are capable of 600 kgs to cater for USA and Oz legislation ? ................. something along those lines

    .......... no worries 172 pilot .... thats what the insurance is for ......... so go flying again, when you can As to the damage ... its not a marginal choice re repair so it does make the insurance assessment easier (i presume)

    .......... seriously Looks like hoss cartwrights hat ...... to me

    thanks for that P Perry never knew about the corrupt EU (googable) ........... where there's money there's always someone trying to skim the top

    ................. grade of pilot ? ......... or grade of memory ?

    People in glass houses should not throw stones ? What are the situations where gear up happens ? In a 210 shirley the undercarriage buffet would prompt ?...........?.... or could noise cancel headseats diminish that sensory perseption

    I sent this Council an email to southern downs regional council re Warwick airstrip - why not I said mail@southerndowns.qld.gov.au I find it disappointing that your Council has decided to charge landing fees at airstrips – assuming next you will be installing toll gates to local parks, lakes and river banks The aviation economy is at best on shaky ground and needs to be protected and valued by local authorities – in time of need your airstrips will prove useful and a saviour to your Shire Those pilots that use your airstrips are in part the grass roots of aviation - you also receive economic benefit from airstrip assets Please show economic logic and encourage aviation – not discourage it

    Sometimes ? ......... a Council will charge an annual fee for local aircraft who's home is the local strip Ask Council - they might see this as fairer and more manageable - accounting concept is ....... locals pay bread and butter - visitors get fleeced

    ........ tis strange that there is not something better to see - more of a record of this B17 flying
  17. johnm
    .......... be great to see a video of this B17 taking off / flying / landing ........... must be have broken its earthly bonds by now ?

    oh how we are living in stupidity .................. this thread reminds me of the QLD anti gang laws (revoked) that from memory stated it was illegal for 3 or more gang members to congregate apart from this thread being collusive ((fraudulently contrived by agreement) - love it .... keep it going) ........ the definition of 'flyin' surely must be written by those same smart bods from QLD ? but, its easy me for to throw rocks at a legislator and yes surely the legislator feels insulted at my lack of understanding - however, irrespective of the legislator's vastly superior understanding on the subject I still can't think its all inane legislation and the 'age of reason' surely must be around the corner

    ......... change is good :D
  20. johnm
    The following suggests unsound mathematical advice: ...........Yes - that said rotax hoses to be replaced at 5 years .......... you can probably stretch it to say 7 years if you are not good at counting
  21. johnm
    how many hours flying experience have you got sonny ? and ............... did you learn to fly in tiger moths ?
  22. johnm

    its your first thought isn't it ? - just build full size having said that I take my hat of to the builder - must be a lot harder to fly remotely - seems a bit underpowered - probably cause of weight limit .................... how much would something like that be worth Dominicm ?? (got to be at least 25 to 50% of piloted plane ?)
  24. johnm
    patent the 'foam cranium headset adjuster' Deskpilot .................... with the right package and wrap you could make some serious money from that
  25. johnm
    ..... are you sure thats it ? SSCBD in the course of students flight training - at some time the student must do solo work (god forbid) - assuming the solo rate is then charged to the student when the student flies solo
