    2 or 4 stroke ozzie ? - style of stroke for ultralight to get to shore ? sorry mate - couldn't resist it

    ................ your telephone call is important to us, so please ..............

    yes they say if you get a tattoo of a butterfly be prepared for it to look like a moth ............... further down the track

    I think it gramatically incorrect to put 'cheap' and 'avgas' in the same sentence

    80 kts - could be fiscal 'priority' to There have to be some societies out there that would place no importance on a car or even maybe a house All you have to do is explain to the family that the boss has decided to take on a rental house - for a change - and the all (or some) of the family fortune will be invested in aviation. Planes might not have a gauranteed return - aircraft hangars look like a sure bet though

    Nein - only see nine hindenboob extremities If its infantile - couldn't imagine what a adult hindenbood would look like great looking aircraft all the same

    re the baloon - what interest me is the 4 extremities either side ............ 8 total - wondering if they might be ballast and valves on the tips (tips I said) for ballast control ? great looking aircraft all the same

    might be all those other things that reflect who you are but I agree with FH's point .............. pilots, ownership or hire, its a group of people, its interaction, getting to know others with an aviation interest .................. thru similar owners, most other aircraft owners or even the local aero club (if there is one)

    Hey VFR - I was born over there and also hanged around Hood aerodrome also - small world eh

    I'm a retracking record .............. but under the regulatory division the first thing that would be an immediate benefit to members would be to get rid of annual airplane registrations (lets stamp out tedium) If the organisation needs revenue lets devise another way (like 'hot potatoe' or spin the bottle - etc) - not by creating mountains of annual paper work - as is the current system

    I just read in a nz rag that a 'biggles' flew a C150 or 152 from hobart tas. to haast nz. (middle west coast sth island nz) direct ............ .......................... 10.50 hours I think it said !

    another one is sunlight soap - good gear I reckon - the good old cake of yellow soap - and plenty cheap to - soap it on with a rag and then come back for a second go and the exhause gunk goes you can use for other things as well having matrimonial problems ?; give your wife a good hot bath in sunlight soap - these problems will also be fixed in no time .... as well

    .............. I'll die trying .............. I'll die trying to keep the premiums current, so I they get a good life assurance payout

    nothing has happened because we don't really know anything ....................... any statement would be a rumour - but I think lots know and have heard things that put the movie 'a death by a thousand cuts' into the GA classification (I think)

    be good when people post videos that we could see what's happening a bit around the hangars - just being nosey great day for flying in that video - thanks no bugs on the windscreen no bug windscreen days are the best I reckon

    The way that certified F 18 rolls - the nose of that plane was rock solid on the horizon - looks like its all aileron for roll and elevator for vertical - no rudder at all I guess ? Be nice to know ?
  17. johnm
    Yes Flyhi Luck it seems. You (we) could probably force RAAI to give the full 12 months (from date of issue) but I'd suspect the logistics of that would be to tough - considering their current workload & things to sort

    If it were not for electricity, we would all be watching televison in the dark

    I got my rego - delayed about 15 days - good to have some machinary that you can use Hope the delayed ones are not delayed too much longer
  20. johnm
    my brothers next door neighbour read a newspaper about a highjacking

    so if you are flying along and maybe from paranoia you hear a rattle (incident 1) up front or down the back or under the seat or above in the wing root ..................... or you percieve the motor is not performing like usual (incident 2) and you adjust the throttle and maybe even carb heat ! ............... and every thing then seems OK - then if you don't land at the nearest strip - you are negligent ? surely that can't be how the law thinks of the actions of a licensed pilot ? maybe (engine vibes) are considered to be more threatening / litigous - but I would have though carb ice could give the same symptoms

    IAN a tiring question but if I donate $ 50.01 do I automatically become a first class member ? - I don't want to - I want to go through life as a private - may be a corporal - not any higher ...................... though, 1st class on my blemished record would be a blemish ! please advise
  23. johnm
    And again ................ 2 yearly aircraft rego please (minimum) 1/2 the workload and red tape and twice as much fun (or should that be twice as less hocus pocus)
  24. johnm
    Alf ! .......... you just reminded me - I have had no reply from my 3 emails and am 11 days over rego date - I'll try again
  25. johnm
    .......... the bean counters will be positively salivating at aircraft doing circuits ?
