    No it was a horse, a white horse, he left in a white horse float full of hay with a split lip and a black eye. Teach him to take on a bird !

    Did he do his first flight with a passenger ?

    It can only fly for 2 hours and its empty ? Rand is only 420 NM ?

    There was never any legal action by the importer to the RAA, never ever. It was not a Pipistrel Sinus but a TL-Ultralight Sting. The failure of the crank came because the then owner flew the plane for > 6 months with a spinner he fitted and drilled by hand ! Apparently the vibration was so bad he got numb feet after 10 minutes but he kept on flying. He did this for more than 6 months. All this came to light after the coroners inquest when the full document package was available, which included the owners maintenance records that were not presented in court. Never let the truth get in the way of a good story !

    Looks like the ellipse but that has a T tail. might be the FK14 Polaris but not sure. there was an all carbon aerobatic plane that came out of Germany about 15 years ago, it had wings like a Spitfire with the elliptical ends and could be trailered in about 15 minutes. Stop and start production and a few different owners over the years. I can't remember its name now but from memory it was only a single seater. I can't tell but this one may be a dual seater in the photo. Somebody wiser than me will know straight away

    There is a glider strip East-West just north of Cooma. Its the entry for mountain wave flying in a few months when the westerly's start blowing. Been there a few times, its name alludes me but the gliding people would know of it.

    It looks like a nice plane. This photo is a Heck Field ?

    They had this on display probably 10 years ago, at the time there was no suitable engine that didn't weigh 200 kgs

    With all those esky's they were heading to a PARTY ! Could be Easter Eggs ! (hopefully not blood or donor parts)

    Could also be rf getting in the line, disconnect the mic plug and test again, noise gone, problem solved. Still there, try above.

    Probably flew too far from the airport and the extension cord disconnected ?

    Day 2 ?

    let's say in the UBER turns up to take you somewhere. You don't get in and ask to see their licensse or their maintenance records for the vehicle. There are risks you must take in everyday life, your bus driver today could have chest pain but he won't tell you this when you get on the bus, he thinks it is heartburn. At some point you have to take responsibilitty for living.

    It's hard to get good footage and an air show unless you have a flightline pass. I thought it was okay myself. Anyway, did anyone notice the Ferris wheel in the background of a few shots ? I hope the Jabiru display is not near the Ferris wheel ! Tongue-in-cheek of course 😂
  24. FlyBoy1960
    Look at all the oil staining on both upper and lower parts of the elevator/HZ stabiliser on the left hand pilots side. Where does the exhaust exit on the Jabiru ? Just on the left or on both sides ? The dust makes it really visible. Lucky to get out of this accident, ejected ? Looks more like vertical damage rather than forward, but thats just an uneducated comment. (which i am good at)
