  1. I wonder whether a quick sharp blow, accidentally when removing hand from the throttles, could trip the two switches. Particularly if the detents were worn or somehow out of spec.
  2. Same thing used to happen in my PA28. I checked and found it was common and not a problem.
  3. My father in law arranged to fly the first cattle into PNG. They landed at Port Moresby from Queensland in a Bristol Freighter.
  4. There is one in NSW south of Tibbooburra.
  5. Australia had many deadly animals. The deadliest is the horse, with around 120 deaths each year from horse-related accidents.
  6. There are plenty of videos of sovereign citizens being arrested in the USA . They seem to have a serious mental defect coupled with a mania like members of a religious cult.
  7. The old Kwaka triple two-stroke used to put out some power when it hit its rev band.
  8. Instinctively handling the yaw didn't work for me yesterday. I flew for the first time after two months away on holiday and couldn't get my feet to work. A few circuits and a short local got me back into it, but the first takeoff had me way left of centreline. I think the three takeoffs and landings before taking passengers is a good rule!
  9. Who hasn’t had a door pop open? It seems a big problem in the Bonanza for some reason.
  10. For those who don't know, Cavorite is a fictional material first depicted by H. G. Wells in The First Men in the Moon, a 1901 scientific romance. Developed by Cavor, a reclusive physicist, it has the ability to negate the force of gravity,
  11. He got legless more than once.
  12. I bought a new one in 2011 and flew it for several years. I was very happy with it. They have been used for training quite successfully, that’s where mine went. Visibility was excellent, I didn’t have any issues flying it except a tendency to land hard if you pulled power.
