facthunter Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Ive never at any time even hinted that might be the case. It would be outrageous. Nev
facthunter Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Yeah keep it UP. I know what message I was trying to get out and it's NOT RACIST in any waY. Quite the Opposite actually. IF I want to say something I say it CLEARLY and will elaborate IF asked. What I did was ask a question, about HOW something looked. What you read into it is something bilong you Masta. Now I'm being accused of a mortal sin. WAKE up to yourselves'..If this sort of $#!t keeps happening this site is finished. it's some kind of Star chamber where I get accused of meaning something I say I definitely did NOT and by saying BS YOU are calling me a LIAR. BTW If this was happening to anyone I'd be equally VOCAL about it. Nev.

facthunter Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Great if that were true You get personal. That's not on in your position. Open your eyes mate. I know because i've been on the receiving end. Nev
Marty_d Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Getting a bit heated guys. This site is about the aircraft. 4

facthunter Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Mahindra saved that Company. A senior person there who had been there a long time used to visit me often and discuss things aeroplane. He said the Problems were not with the new company but with the same people who were there before still continuing to manage it. It IS a good news story and about Australian Made Aircraft and there's no reason whatever to NOT run it on this forum. This Forum has become not as friendly as it should be and a hard place for serious discussion. NO ONE wants it to operate properly MORE than I do. I have been here since it's inception and will defend my reputation when needed. No one should open up Not knowing what sort of nasty response will greet them out of thin air. NO One want's an argument BUT everyone challenged must be able to counter the ACCUSATIONS. early intervention will help prevent that necessity, No one shou/d be able to pick on things like your Forum name and suggest you post too often." Gotcha" actions are not conducive to good conduct. IF i didn't ruffle few feathers here I wouldn't be doing my job which try to get the facts straight and emphasise safe flying. Nev 2 1 1
facthunter Posted January 11 Posted January 11 (edited) I'm a bit concerned with "dumping " a problem in Ian's lap as I'm sure he has other things to deal with.. HE has the right to do what he wishes. Nev Edited January 11 by facthunter
jackc Posted January 12 Posted January 12 I spend a lot of time on phone discussions with people more knowledgeable than me. I have quite a few Pilot friends out there that I can spend a couple of hours talking to. Those people know exactly where I come from, IF there is controversy……I am usually in the middle of it. But the difference is, here you can be attacked by Moray Eels but phone discussion, is more considerate and negotiable. I used to be on Mailing Lists 25 years ago, better than the Forums or SwampBook in todays World. How about that, for thread drift 😁 1
Geoff_H Posted January 12 Posted January 12 Too many old farts on this site, living in the past and looking relevance in life. Me included. 3
facthunter Posted January 12 Posted January 12 People need to show a bit more respect and never MOCK other's. . You don't really know what people are like on line. We've lost a few good people because of that . which is a pity. You need all the knowledge you can get. on a forum like this Has the Forum changed a lot since earlier times.? I would say YES. Nev
Geoff_H Posted January 12 Posted January 12 I spend .much. ore time on a homebuilt aircraft site. It is Americsn and far more technical. This site is find interesting when topics are technical. Many years ago I was working on Yalourn Power Station and travelled once with the original guys designing and building the aircraft I was intriguing intrigued by their undercarriage testing device. The machine would lift the undercarriage with a weight attached the same height that the FAA rules require then drop the undercarriage with its weight. I was facinated as this mschine went through its paces time after time automatically. Great that the company is back.
jackc Posted January 12 Posted January 12 (edited) One of my best Aviation friends is retired now, close to 80 years old, owned flying schools, charter airlines, managed airlines in New Guinea. One instance of note, he operated a charter operation 40 years ago, flying his own Dakota C47. I know him personally, have seen his pile of Logbooks, a Kangaroo could not jump over. He phones me every week for a yarn. This guy is a true Aviator with many thousands of hours, in so many different aircraft For me, his knowledge is gold…...

facthunter Posted January 12 Posted January 12 Flying in PNG is a life changing experience. . Hills Clouds and Rain. C-47, DC 3 Gooney bird, Biscuit bomber Dakota. Created the CARGO Cult in New Guinea in WW 2. Operated Overweight based on a PK chart. Developmental. Mental really. ALL the sound proofing removed. What'd you say?

Buffalo Airlines in the U.S.? have some. Getting a right seat ride would do it for me, before I leave this Earth. 😁
facthunter Posted January 12 Posted January 12 Beech 18 Might be a good compromise or Catalina PBY 5A. (Amphibious.) There should be 3's in Australia. Nev 1

Wouldn't be the same though - converted to turboprops. 1
facthunter Posted January 12 Posted January 12 Fairly sure you could still get a DC 3 endorsement. It can be on a PPL You don't have to complete it to do some flying.. Nev
