    On that day, the Pilot was his own worst enemy…..it’s happened in the past AND it will happen in the future, no amount of training can prevent a poor personal decision on the day. And jumping all over Instructors wont do anything either……except to convince them its time to give the game away, sadly 🤢 RAAus will be looking for scapegoats, to hound……..

    Maybe WHY the CEO bailed out?

    So, our peak body withholds information from a Coroner? Sickening 🤢 Feel like scrubbing my membership, rego and go flying 🤢 Ironically, my membership is due today……

    I feel the very worst of Schadenfreude for people like this……🤢

    This turning into a pissing match, just feel lucky we all have aircraft to fly and be happy with. If you want to fly higher and faster? Just go buy a plane with a bigger engine? Me? I would be just as happy to fly a Thruster to Melbourne……or do the trip in a Sonex Jet. Its still flying, and that is all it matters 🤩 Flying…..is the most fun you can have, with your clothes on 🤩

    In my opinion, Aviators should have some kind of light weight fire suppression system under engine cowl, IF available. And being a safety item, MTOW increased to cover the extra weight same as a BRS

    A crate 582 complete with everything , except a prop cost me $14,500 delivered, people will say it’s a crap investment but flying costs money and I don’t care. Gee I drive an old Landcruiser like 45 years old, needing a fuel tanker chasing me everywhere 🤩 who cares My Jabiru 230 blows up tomorrow? I will just ring up Jabiru for a new Gen 4 out of their stock, chuck it in and happy days 🤩 Fun was never cheap and we only get one life……

    Support is everything for me, a Rolls Royce is useless with poor support. Rotax have great stuff, but their newer technology can take a hike for this old Dinosaur and Jabiru are a great team, the welcoming I got at their factory was enough for me, ask any question…..got answers, no secret squirrels there. AND they are 400km from me, drop in anytime they said.

    Skip, get back to me when You have had a good look at one, just getting the software out of Rotax, to setup and commission it is a nightmare and that, is only the start. Interfacing to a Dynon or Gamin is another thing 🤢

    Try a cable break in a winch launched glider at 400 feet? You get a fraction of a second to do a major nose down……it’s a great training experience……

    As an aside, yesterday I looked at an aircraft getting retrofitted with a new Rotax 912IS and decided after looking over the complexity of the job and the differences to the 912 UL it replaced. I would never consider doing that job. I would simply have done that job with a Gen 4 Jab motor. I would suggest ANYONE going to a 912IS is, DONT 🤢 You want to go 912IS? Just go buy a new aircraft with a factory specced one.

    It would sure pay to have Aviators on Council 🤩 Maybe work towards that?

    Unfortunately, airport/strip closures will become a sign of the times 🤢 https://www.facebook.com/100063952303049/posts/pfbid0RSzuGNB7GpnEoxRnSf66oU83qzsyrdicticxyf1M8YQqvrFihsZwRVKE2t48iq3Hl/?

    IF it’s smaller than a 737, they probably don’t want to know 🤢

    People who fly unregistered or no licence, stay away from YouTube, Facebook and Forums having fun living a real life like many, before the Internet.
