  1. Yes I agree IF someone else is affected in any way. Since pilot is unlicensed and aircraft is unregistered and is not certified and flown on own private property. Aircraft was not illegal to purchase etc. Then all risk is accepted by the pilot undertaking the activity. Looking at an Insurance PDS, there will be no valid claim against any policy. I have recently been certified of sound mind by Phycological Examination prior to updating my Will. So, all my marbles are present and correct 🙂
  2. And if you kill yourself on your own property, by your own behaviour posing no risk to anyone else. Its death by misadventure?
  3. I have realised I need to start at the start, to establish credibility. To me, that means a meeting with the FAA itself. I think I have enough contacts, to achieve that……
  4. A Kelpie sold at the Ray White dog auction, top price paid was $33,000 last week, here. A couple of Part 103 Aerolite 103s for that money 🙂
  5. I don't publish everything I do here, because I know you work against me in the background. I feel much Schadenfreude for you…….
  6. Look at how many big shot car racers and aviators with thousands of hours training have died? IF I fly on my own property I can only kill myself? Yet ONE man can take 4 passengers and himself in a totally uncertified vessel to their deaths. Govts stood by and did nothing, even with all the publicity. We DONT live in a perfect World, and how boring it would be anyway.
  7. One thing you don't understand is…..you DONT need a licence to fly. the aircraft does not CARE. Just like a car, bonus is you can drive legally without a licence on your OWN property, just like you should be able to fly your plane…..
  8. Sadly, RAA will want nothing to do with ANYTHING outside its current policy agenda. Its a company after all 😞 Some in it, who have vested interests?
  9. A great supporter of Aviation you are. IF its not your way…..its the highway 😞
  10. Well I am making plans and I am looking into another piece of legislation that may hold an important key….
  11. No one, not even the FAA keep records of incidents or crash statistics. They have the understanding that the Part 103 people just run their own race and stick to the FAA A4 1 page of rules. Bet no one even gets a ramp check 🙂
  12. Mmmmmm……might get a quote to ship me an Aerolyte 103, with Hirth power 🙂
  13. I believe Floods have sold to a U.K. company.
  14. I got into a scrap with a broker over dishonest advertising in part by a vendor who handled the truth loosely. But the broker said they all do it that way.
  15. With my limited knowledge I will see what I can come up with, will be able to glean information from the EAA as a start….
  16. Backward thinking Australia all over, life has its elements of risk and nothing is perfect, just look at our recent most tragedy. All the qualifications in the World could not stop it……it comes down to the brains or lack of by an individual. Its impossible to protect all individuals, from themselves despite having mountains of rules…..
  17. We just give it another designation, CASA adopt the FAA rules and do like the FAA does and away it goes. The FAA leave it up to organisations like the EAA to support the sector and by being a member of that type of organisation you get support and you participate. FAA and EAA dont even have crash statistics data, because I asked for it, being an EAA member and doing research etc. IF a heap of these machines fell out of the sky, no doubt FAA would come down like a ton of bricks. I know people hate the concept, thats fine as they dont need to participate, just leave the people alone who want to give it a go.
  18. That is easy, just cut and paste all the FAA stuff and go for it 🙂.
  19. Its a company raising its prices how they want. I will bet some CFI’s will call it a day. Flying School rates will rise to cover it and in these times of an economic squeeze they may well decide its not viable to continue.
  20. The way thingsare going Part 103 will be all you can afford……
  21. Hummelbird Ultracruiser is Part 103 compliant. https://www.hummelaircraft.com/ultracruiser
  22. Nothing ventured, nothing gained…..
  23. Turbs, sorry to say there is ONE answer. Just adopt FAA rules holis bolus, dont change anything. WHY complicate the concept? Next job? Plan landing right to Avalon Air Show 🙂 🙂
