They said "it failed to take off"

Or, the school as a history of accidents and claims possibly brought about by different training standards and the insurers need to cover their risk. Quite often you are paying a very high percentage of the aircraft cost in excess. A $100,000 aircraft would normally have an excess of between $3000 - $5000, a $200,000 aircraft could double this

the RA-Aus insurance (try and get a copy out of the head office is impossible) only ensures third-party property and person damage. An example would be if you crashed and killed somebody. If it could be proven that that you were completely compliant with the regulations, your aircraft was up-to-date with all maintenance requirements and there was no other excuse for them not to provide coverage then, there will be an amount paid to your passengers family. Likewise, if you ran into a power line in the process of a completely legal flight (which is unlikely if you hit a power line) then they would cover the cost of getting the powerline repaired. From what I was told there have only ever been 3 successful claims because there is always a way to avoid fulfilling the insurace coverage.

I would be checking it is rated for 160 hp. Most of them are only rated for 115 hp as a maximum. It might pay to are some questions because not all propellers are built the same

the upper surface of the outer wing is vibrating aggressively. You can see it when he turns his head sideways around the 8 minute mark. Something is very wrong with this !

Yes but its ONLY a number you have been allocated, read the fine print, it will say its not a certificate or permission to FLY. You need to find the appropriate category and then get the CofA completed, then, and ONLY, then will you have a REGISTERED aircraft thats approved for FLIGHT.

My aircraft was registered under " AUF " without problems . 95-10-1103 . You can register a broomstick (ask the wife), There is a big difference between being allocated a NUMBER and completing a CofA. The number allocation has NOTHING to do with registration.

It must have been an engine failure ! 😁

Lots of good footage here. Perfect day ! https://www.onsceneact.com.au/index.php/767-light-plane-crashes-near-tharwa-in-canberras-south

It was "technically" taxiing because he was not airborne yet. Nothing to see here. 😉

He just makes them up. keyboard warrior with google and gpt to add to the diatribe.

From the last I heard the company producing the aircraft was sold because they were making 10 times more money out of making wind turbine blade. Whoever they sold it to is no longer trading, they lasted about 12 months apparently before the money ran out, they have grand designs of revamping everything and reintroducing/remarketing the products but it just didn't happen. The purchaser had no experience in aviation although he flew a Storch locally in Italy. All of this is secondhand from somebody I talked to at the airport but he is normally pretty good with what is happening
