    there would n't be a fracas if aviatrix's described aviators aircraft enclosures as a cockpit any reputable pet shop would probably also sell a pussy enclosure (probably different descriptive words) its just the political correctness thingy (BUT $25k !)

    interesting point - an air cooled engine with a power on approach - a steeper approach is more difficult to achieve with a water cooled motor all you do is go to idle power is this correct logic ?

    I learnt in the tomahawk and my instructors and I did many spins - they actively taught them in 1983 ? ............... They even told me to go up solo and do spins which was done after I got my ppl I used to take thrillseekers up to do spins (in hindsight probably not a good idea) I think then the NZ authority directed no more spins in the tomohawk so that stopped - a pilot thereafter died when his tomohawk went into the sea from circuit height - cause not known I'd gladly do some spins again - with an instructor though first off

    tecnam - ballarat 31.3.15 .............. this was in the RAA 2015 incident list - can I ask ? - does anyone know what caused this event (twice) ........ fault identified ? quote: ' Completing a check flight after inspection. Aircraft was on downwind RWY18 85 kts, straight and level. The aircraft rolled and yawed to the right without warning. PIC applied full left rudder and full power and the aircraft shuddered and recovered. Recovery was not instant but did return to level flight. Rudder required a lot of pressure to move much more than normal. Lost about 200 feet. Completed circuit and made a full stop landing without further incident. The Aircraft had suffered a similar incident on Sunday 29/3/2015. . Aircraft Grounded until fault identified and repaired.'
