    Doing anything without a licence is FUN. I Used to be radio pirate with CBs years ago getting chased everywhere. Been threatened with arrest etc. Got nailed once under the Crimes Act 1914, fronted court defended myself and the D.O.C of the time had a barrister, blew him into the weeds and had all charges dismissed. Not a year later they decided to make CB legal. Using that precedent, we publish lots of unlicensed ultralight FAR Part 103 operations and CASA might just think about something in the future. Have asked Admin here for subgroup……tried to do it but would not work.

    Went and got tested for senility, dementia and other mental problems to add to my will, wife likewise. Finances covered etc. So, my documentation is in order 🙂

    Look, I am over it……IF I kill my self doing anything stupid its MY fault, it’s up to me to do my own risk assessment to determine if I wish to go ahead or not. IF risk involves others? Nope won’t go there. Who can sue me IF I kill or badly injure myself? It’s all on me. You know, I did all sorts of dangerous things in my business life making my own personal risk assessments before there was even a coined phrase. 30 years of my own business with NO public liability insurance, nothing. Not even product liability insurance for anything I designed and built, no project insurance either. Never had a problem in those 30 years.

    Lost me, pilot is many sandwiches short of a picnic….Not a case of if, it’s a case of when it will all come to a sad end for him 😞

    EVERYTHING in this life has elements of risk, the idea being to minimise them where possible. IF nobody ever took risks, this Earth would not have got as far as it has. I take all advice onboard THEN work out if the risks are too high for injury/death to myself or any other human beings. If you only knew of the highly illegal things I have done in my life to prove ideas etc, you would be horrified, but alas no one has died or myself as a result of all this fun 🙂

    Simple solution here, ask Admin to create sub group in the forum and call it ‘Wing and a prayer Flintstone Flyers’ ? Then we don’t clog up the forums with our fun ideas 🙂

    YouTube can be good at teaching you to fly, getting to episode 22 ‘Going Solo, might be scary though, but after completing the 50 take off ground runs, without any ground loops, you should be good to go 🙂

    It was the best weekend I have had in years! Met some guys on the forum and had some great conversations and admired their aircraft too. Sorry that I did not have much to contribute by way of knowledge in conversation, learnt heaps just by listening! Found a nice plane I would like, ironically I got home and my wife asked IF I bought anything and answer was a hesitating ‘no’ so she smells a rat! Here it is….. Got a nice pic of Tony’s immaculate 912 powered Drifter taxiing for departure on Sunday.

    The message I get is quite simply NEVER stall your aircraft, alway practice safe flying……..

    It’s an inherent problem that all human beings have in lesser and greater degrees, everyone wants to make their ‘mark’ on a project some worse than others. I used to hate multiple contractors engineering projects for that very reason. Too many personalities usually result in a screwup.

    You need to tow a ‘freight’ glider 🙂

    Stealth Recon Military ((ANY Army/Navy/Airforce Callsign you can find) OR call No Rego No Licence No Care, that will screw Avdata up 🙂

    Raping RAA at $545.00 per day? Discrimination at its worst? A complaint to Fair Trading should be made……
