What specific info does Ra Aus need for propellers?

You just have to be careful about what Google throws up for search results. Scammers set up fake websites to scam people, and then "game" Google search algorithms to end up high in Google search results.

A recent example is the legit-looking site recently exposed, that claimed to provide heaps of great information about upcoming welfare payments. But the payments are non-existent. However, the information provided is about legit earlier welfare payments - the scammers just make it appear the payments are going to be repeated.

I think I'm reasonably savvy, but the fake "information" site took me in. However, after close reading of the "information", it became obvious to me there was something about it that didn't jell. The style of writing was poor.

I suspected it was written by AI, but I didn't realise scammers do this setting up of "information" sites regularly, to set up unsuspecting people up, same as any other sting.

 

Incidentally, if you come across a fake website (there's plenty out there, watch out for the ones selling bargain aircraft parts!), you can report them to Google, and Google will delete them from search results.

Of course, this doesn't stop the scammers from just changing something about the fake site, and then getting back into Google search results again, though. It's a "whack a mole" game, just like trying to block scam phone calls.

These websites might seem like victimless enterprises, but there are real-world consequences for people who get tangled up in the lies. 

 

 

You guys are overthinking it. I'm not talking about buying anything. How do YOU guys find out about stuff you are interested in? Do you go to the corner store and buy an issue of Womans Weekly? Right now, pretend that you have never heard of Peugot, and you want to find out more about Peugot. So go on, type 'peugot' into your search engine.

 

Anyway, I think they may have finally googled it, and despite all your fears, the guy didn't end up sending $10,000 worth of travellers cheques to Prince Mubumbo in Nigeria, but instead learnt about my propeller.

The Max TO weight increase, was just a month or so ago.

 

I can't comment on why RAA would impose changes to existing TO wt.

 

As for Certified W&B. It would seem that RAA had its authority, to approve W&B, removed for some reason. This meant that anyone requiring a W&B, had to go the CASA/Certified rout, including me. I shopped around and found a Certified service provider, at a considerably better price (almost 1/2) than what you have quoted.

i was making a point that things are changing at raa. not after an argument.

I think YOU are over reacting Danny. Of course Google is a useful search engine I use it all the time  but you can't TRUST everything that Pops up on the NET. Nor is the University of U tube the Last  say in everythjng . It's JUST not THAT easy.  Nev

Are you saying don't trust a manufacturers website. 

[facthunter]

Drop it will you? This  sort of thing puts people off posting here. It's just a $#!&^* interrogation. Wake up to yourself. Nev

you call yourself the facthunter. live up to your name. i don't know of any manufacturers that don't run a company website usually with the information people seek on there.

 

[facthunter]

You don't even TRY to understand. I've asked you to Drop it but you just persist regardless. I'm disappointed you support him, Thruster. . I try to help find facts. That's why I come here in a general concern for safety  You're really arguing over NOTHING. I said I USE Google a lot but not everything that comes up is the genuine thing. That's ALL I'm bloody saying FFS.. Get REAL.  Nev

You seem to have read my mind. I've wanted to build a quick EV street car for quite a while, after discovering the NEDRA web page. I've started to think maybe I'll sell my plane to do that 🙂 

 

This is the webpage, because jokes aside, it's not as easy to google as say, Peugot
