    increases the value of those planes that fit < 760 kgs and stall < 45 kts ............................... I guess most of that $ speculation has been made ?

    when we were pruning pine trees with chainsaws (Taupo rd) - the gang always sharpened up the odd tree - about 3 m above ground - 300 dia trees looking like a sharpened pencil (why ? - when you did 100 / day you just had to do something different) .................... be careful - there are made made hazards out there

    don't want to sound pessimistic but I this machine is probably 'quiet' compared to a 747 - 'quiet' used in advert she'd (no disrespect to females) kick up some noise when in action

    the neighbours Flightrite - how do the neighbours stack up ?

    how could anyone watch TV (if you had to) ...................... and it was not the ABC we in Oz are lucky to have an organisation like ABC - essentially tax payer funded and not influenced by commercialism. The ABC try their best to be the social conscience of our society - we are lucky to have such a unique asset - I doubt any country can boast that ? the reference to 'jet star' pilot - does this infer a qantas pilot would not do this ? (sarcasm)

    the son in law (150kgs - he's lighter now) and I (95 kgs) went for a fly in a tecnam - notch of flap for takeoff helped it was heavy flying but when gravity was used - it all felt all just as usual (deliberate no comment about fuel quantity)

    so well put on numerous occasions I have emailed bureaucrats - and suggested rather than change legislation - they should take up knitting or at least use a 2 lb hammer on their fingers - these suggestions have fallen on deaf ears

    we seem to be whinging ................. about people whinging the human condition is terminal which helps and OME I always notice your comment about traffic - exhausts and wheezing turbines - you need to excavate a bunker and retreat to there Whinge: to me the worst thing would be live next to a person that incessantly whistled - good whistling would be bad - bad whistling would be murderous

    I reckon pilot failed to look outside - and then put the pedal to the metal

    what would have been the rough fuel burns for each engine ?
  19. johnm
    my guess ? - pilot seems nervous from a higher speed landing ............... then things ............... really start to happen hope pilot is OK after impact

    there's one missing forgot to screw down oil filler on a C152. went for short flight and had to clean fueslage with paper towels - covered in oil all cleaned up for a cpl flight test which I passed ! - immediately before flight test the local flight instructor said 'you'll never get it' (great words of encouragement)

    there is one missing - just started taxi - noticed pitot cover on wing flapping in the wind
  22. johnm
    .......... thats odd ?
  23. johnm
    if that was planned ..................... smart move (stepping away from global ethics, countries and politics - a shrewd (for some) business move)
  24. johnm
    The plastic rego card system worked well -rego card displayed on aircraft

    if you are part of a club ................. that group should investigate using the one insurer .................. there are some good benefits to be had (for both insured and insurer)
