Bruce Knowles raises a point to remember ........... owners shouldn't be suggesting jab owners are the cause of engine problems because of the way they do things .......... no one can make that generalisation (some owners might do the wrong thing - but not all - as with all aircaft / mechanics)
thou smites an aero club ..................... thee not knowest who - thee needs not, to know
like all things human - people see the good and bad in any / every club
but, its not illegal to look through rose colored glasses, but
yes paper edition is the only way - never have bothered reading an electronic CASA mag
Having said that everything seems to be going electronic ......................... it seems a 'race to the bottom' in costs savings these days
it seems that shortly there will be no need for a footpath - just supply enough room for a dirty great big computer cable up and down the street
In relation to voting - I've been a member for 7 years (guessing) and never voted - I have never seen any issue yet that requires my vote and am happy with the way things currently are (or turn out to be) - maybe in semi-retirement there will be time to ponder all the steady organisational argie bargie that can be read here. To the board members and voting members - keep the good work going
yes school aircraft should get inside TBO parameters easy - you'd think
I am just thinking about mountains of private use 912 engines - piles & piles of them because they never got enough hours on them but they got to the 12 or 15 year time limit - what fate is in store here ?
so there is a unlikely possibility ! that owners (particularly private use) could be told to throw a 912 away if it reaches TBO ?
a much more expensive motor if you don't use the hours ? .............. is that's what being said here ?
most ultralights could easily carry 70 - 100 litres of water - 100 litres for aerial spraying would be a handy amount (a tigermoth only carried 250 kilos ? and they were considered OK at the time)
In NZ applying aerial spray from an ultralight was allowed (I think) - if you owned the land
Interesting to know what countries allow it - sure bet Australia would not ?

if you had of been dealt house loans you would of been a banker
if if you had of been dealt kill the taxman, you would of been an accountant
there'd probably be similar forums for the above 2 subjects ........................ but they'd be dry and boring
we are all just basking in completeaerogeeks dealing of aerodynamics (I think that's the name of the subject)
refreshing view point completeaerogeek – you’re like a brand new ball in a bowling alley strking 10
I’ll be re-reading it all to try and get a handle on it - thanks
