Hi yharry

 

Welcome good to have some more with technical expertise on the mechanical side of the machine to be able to extract info from.

 

Are you going to fly or keep fixin em!

 

Cheers Guy

Welcome aboard Harry, I hope you find the forums fun and educational and also hope that you can see the fun in 'ultralighting'.

 

PS. I still haven't got my RA pilot certificate but want to. Am I a dinosaur too?

Hear hear. I'll shout you a beer on the weekend Captain :yin_yan: Now Ian,

 

I'm always getting in trouble here. You get that after my amount of posts How a little bit more of this :yin_yan: and a little bit less of whether we call it ultralights, recreational aviation, auf, raa, cia, kgb etc etc.

 

 

[Guest airsick]

Careful Darren, that looks very much like a GA plane in your signature...

thanks for the welcome

 

thanks blueshed, airsick and donkey.

 

some of you may have seen my other posts on this forum.

 

for your info, i only joined to be able to access those in the know to prevent email notifications about aircraft crashes being sent to my dead mates wife.

 

seems that he wasn't registered to this site, from the information from those in the know.

 

i don't want any more dead.

 

thank you and

 

safe travels

 

harry.

A rose by by any other name is but a rose.

 

Hi All,

 

I come from the early days of the AUF.when our aircraft were called Ultralights.

 

I`ve never objected to changing our name to the RAA, however, I believe it`s not so much the aircraft we fly or the name we choose that give us a bad name ,it`s some of the pilots who fly them and the way they fly.

 

We can call our organization what ever we like but the best way to improve our image is to be better pilots and reduce the accident rate.

 

It appears to me that even with better rules and better training and aircraft,that we now have,the accident rate is still,just too high.

 

I have flow many types,from a Scout to the Zenair 701 and I still choose to own and fly a 95-25 Maxair Drifter because I fly for fun and I don`t realy care what anyone chooses to call it.

 

Regards,

 

farri. :rotary:
