fly_tornado Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Pilot walked away with a broken arm and head injuries 1
Bats Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Ouch, trees bite! What aircraft, I don't recognise the remains of the cowling.
ave8rr Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 UPDATE: Pilot airlifted from scene of CQ plane crash
Mick Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 This is not Old Station as some might assume, it is another private strip nearby.
Kyle Communications Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 912 ULS up the front so probably not a Glassstar
Kyle Communications Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Any more news on what the aircraft was yet?
Roundsounds Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 An Ibis GS700? ASN Aircraft accident 31-JUL-2016 Ibis GS-700 Magic 19-7555 1
Yenn Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 There are a couple of strips at Raglan, apart from Ols Station. This looks as if it is the short one with trees and powerlines about 5 km from OS to the East. Too short for me to use happily, but a friend uses it with a Savannah. Hope the pilot fully recovers. 1
red750 Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 ASN report shows it as 19-7555, but this photo shows 24-7555. Unusual for identical aircraft to have identical registration in two categories, isn't it?
Kyle Communications Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 I think it was probably dropped back to 19 rego after the big shakeup on the LSA stuff 5
kasper Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 I think it was probably dropped back to 19 rego after the big shakeup on the LSA stuff Hope not - 19 reg is 51% amateur built by the initial owner, 24 reg is for something coming out of a factory... getting a problem with regn acceptance should not mean it moved to amateur built ... it should at worst mean it gets a reduced MTOW or an E at the front of the regn 2

All Ibis were grounded then RAAus reregistered them 19 which as you say is NOT correct. They were in fact factory built. NOT 51% amateur built. 1
Mick Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 I think it was probably dropped back to 19 rego after the big shakeup on the LSA stuff The Ibis was never LSA.
Camel Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 The Ibis aircraft were registered as a 24 Factory built originally as was the Foxcon Terrier and Morgan Sierra. They were victims of Casa finding that they supposedly didn't comply. I flew an Ibis at Natfly and considered buying one, I flew a Terrier at Mackay and considered buying one and have flown the Morgan Sierra and would happily own one, they were all very nice aircraft to fly. 1

All Ibis were grounded then RAAus reregistered them 19 which as you say is NOT correct. They were in fact factory built. NOT 51% amateur built. Oh dear ... I am even more saddened by where RAAus has left its members and aircraft owners. 1
Bats Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Probably worth asking what the importers/manufacturers were doing in all of this. RA Aus let some things through that never should have been - question of what to do then, grandfather rights or work out a compromise of sorts. You'll never make everyone happy in this sort of mess.
Keith Page Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Yes kasper it is a mess.. Just imagine the mess if they weren't experts? Not concerning the Ibis issue the freedom of designing and thinking is slowly being removed as well, r.e. the privilege of building and designing. Regards, KP 1 1
pylon500 Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 At least this owner could get his money back, the hard way... 1
Mick Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 This guy had only had the Ibis for 6 days. Had got a bargin, shame it didn't last.

Regards, KP Hi Keith I'm back and have returned with vengence.
Keith Page Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 Hello Rick-P, I missed you while your were touring about, wondering where you were. Now go to and read all the posts, "RAA Election Process". It is a complete dog's breakfast. Get to and get your mind around it the members are being treated with complete contempt as if members are nothing to be worried about. Looks like there needs to be an Extra Special General Meeting and replace this mob. Kasper is doing a good job and exposing the riff raff. Regards, KP
spacesailor Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 WELL One rule for factory built, that doesn't make sense!. Another for rule for home built 51%, BUT, what happens if they say No registration. spacesailor
