was driving home yesterday afternoon and grabbed this photograph looking towards the east. This is a cloud out over the ocean just off the Gold Coast. Pretty powerful activity going on, the photograph doesn't really do it justice

looks like there is more to the personalities here then we know about. He said, she said, they said, they thought they said ?

Made the news without much fanfare and wild claims which was nice.

it has been known for a while that they are sourcing engines new at retail prices, they are purchasing used engines with low hours from aircraft accidents and in some cases engines are even being stolen from aircraft. This has been public for about 4 years

We all get deceived sometimes, mine was when I married a petite young girl with a really pretty smile. The only time I see her teeth now is when she is trying to bite me !

WOW that's ugly/strange ? it's amazing how you become so used to a particular shape that when you see a change it looks so bizarre. It is obviously a short fuselage version as well

Its access is blocked when you look

apparently Rylstone have a couple of bunks set up for visitors and people transiting through the area that can't get over the hill into the Sydney basin because of weather around Mount Victoria and the closed airspace around Williamstown/Richmond. They are also happy to take you in town where there are dozens of accommodation options

what if you open the largest snap vents facing into the wind ? they quite happily pressurize the cockpit. I wouldn't have a clue if it isn't enough however to stop carbon monoxide but it is a lot of wind and if you open and close the vents it can make your ears pop if you do it quick enough.

Mudgee Aero Club is another, Rylstone is another. Heck Field has lost its accommodation a few years ago. O think Boonah has something

it may go out the exhaust pipe properly if it is perfectly intact, but a lot of the two-stroke engines crack where the manifold exits the engine due to vibration but hey, what would I know, thousands of hours in trikes in the early days. I guess you are saying practical experience doesn't apply in the circumstances

quite easily in fact, when you're sitting in front of the trike you are creating a huge vacuum behind you as well as the vacuum in the front cowling. This vacuum can pull fumes through the back skirt from the engine area. In my thousands of hours of trike flying I could smell fuel just after takeoff when I would overfill the tank for a big adventure and on one day I could actually smell coolant, looked behind me and there was a leak! Even though you don't think it is possible, it is possible !

Ears would be my guess, probably fluid in there. Get it checked out, also prednisolone/predsolone under script will help dry out the canals

This means the site WAS hacked if they are able to upload malicious programs. This is no good, I will have to go and change passwords etc. AGAIN. Why can this happen, is it your computer Admin, or is it the computer of some of other moderators which is infected.

Nothing to do with RAA Auditors. This is the first box of mangoes heading to Brisbane Markets !

Probably "file footage"

Apparently not great

Bugger. 42, family, and a whole life ahead. 😪

There have been helicopters coming and going but RESCUE 440 just stays overhead ? Any updates ?

Thats ok, please send the reports and details to me by email if you can. [email protected] should be an interesting read

The problem with this report is that it also incorporates Rotax two-stroke engines failures in its results and not just Rotax 4 stroke engines. This makes the failure rate much better for Rotax if you drop the two-stroke engine range, which then makes it a lot worse for Jabiru. It's just impossible to get the real figures

https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2019L00926 I am guessing you complied with this at the time ?

Some of us will be dead before there is a coronors report based on past findings, we dont have 10 years to wait!. I want to learn as much as a can within a reasonable timeframe
