facthunter Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 You shouldn't avoid a drifter Wal. Flies a lot like a tiger Moth with panoramic vision. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planedriver Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Do you want to rephrase that or do you have a death wish? Kaz Don't worry Kaz, I've flown with many a female pilot who'd do a lot better than me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaz3g Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 edited..mod I guess I'm a little different... I have a heavy artic licence. I used to modify and race cars back before there were computers in them (or anything else) I used to bowl wild bulls from horseback for a living I have a commercial Marine Board ticket to drive big boats out where you can't see land. And I've managed to knock up a few hours in the air without killing myself or anyone else But I can't pee standing up! So tell me how you came to have this disability...

Some of the best tradesmen that I have ever worked with are also women.

SDQDI Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Disability? Getting personal now are we? Lol well it was you who told our most esteemed female pilot that ladies and machines don't mix, we could hardly expect her to take that without a bit of a dig. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 But I can't pee standing up! Ladies who have had the same bladder cancer operation as I did pee standing up. On a forum I belong to, they say it causes a lot of concern to women checking under the cubicle door when they see the feet pointing the wrong way. They get quite a giggle out of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I for one, welcome women in aviation. If I remember correctly, the greatest WW2 USSR fighter ace was a woman. Women have contributed heaps to aviation over the years and continue to do so. Women and machines don't mix?!! Really??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashy Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I started with paragliders, Then RC models, Then GA ( c150s & 172s ) then Gazell, drifter, Skydart, Thruster and finally the best form of flying, The powered parachute, low and slow around the tree tops.

Deskpilot Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 You sound like one of those pilots who are bound for disaster! One of the first things I was taught was to stay on top of the aircraft, my instructor always said if I wasn't on top of it it would bite me. I was taught to always be in front of the aircraft, even more likely to bite you. I don't get the connection with your first comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farri Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 You don't fly in or on a Drifter, you ride it hoping you don't meet yr maker earlier than planed:-) ..I honestly don`t know how to reply, politely, to crap like that, but you are entitled to your opinion...I suppose you meant it to be funny!

Soleair Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 ..I honestly don`t know how to reply, politely, to crap like that, but you are entitled to your opinion...I suppose you meant it to be funny!Frank. Frank, I get this sort of prejudice - often pretending to be 'humorous' - very frequently from those who fly larger planes. I can be having an interesting conversation with visiting pilots, until a 'senior' club member drops in that I only fly a microlight. At which point there are patronising smiles and the big boys talk amongst themselves. But I wonder how many of these self regarding masters of aviation have flown anything lighter than a Jabiru (with a training wheel). How they'd get on in a lightly wingloaded taildragger landing in gusty crosswinds. Or whether they'd have the bottle to fly a single seater they'd built themselves. Still, their loss, in my opinion.

Geoff13 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 You guys are amusing at the very least, sadly you have zero SOH though, must be a sad world to live in where you are that angry!:oh yeah:Ignore list for you two!:-) Maybe with the number of people you have said have zero SOH and put on your ignore list a little self reflection would not go astray. But at the rate your ignore list appears to be growing at it shouldn't be long before you have no-one left to reply to. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old chook Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 1967 did a few hours on a C150 Canberra $20/hr I was a first year apprentice electrician on $20 /week, money for the dream soon evaporated so built and flew R/C aircraft until the end of 1980 when I purchased a second hand MK 1 Scout and joined my mates who were flying a Pterradactyl and Winton Grasshopper around Lake George, basically taught myself with crow hops and ground loops ( 2 axis), then wisely did a 5 day gliding course on a Blanik on the winch at Euroa and aerotow at Tumut. Joined HULC mid 80,s and flew Gemini Thruster with Mick Parer for AUF certificate so that I could legally fly my Veenstra Thermite and Winton Jackaroo have had a lot of fun and met lots of very interesting pilots over the years now happy to fly around the farm on a nice Sunday in the 582 Austflight Drifter cheers Al 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
