  1. Bruce, what would you be evicted for? Anyway IF you went over height a bit, how would that be proven if you don’t electronically log your flight, only radar might get you? But you won’t be anywhere near one of those. Going to be interesting what is said about all this in the next few months…..
  2. VFRG V7 is out, over500 pages of it 😞. I have an idea? RAAus go through it and bulk edit out of it all the blurb not relevant to RPC and RPL holders. Create a version only for RPC/RPL holders? The more complexity a document has, the more mistakes can be made in interpretation of it. After all, it’s al about safety, safety and more safety…….
  3. Not you surely 🙂
  4. Bruce, your last word ‘illegally’ says to be unsafe? Well maybe that’s the way it will have to be. The 3 things needed for safe flight are Fuel, Airspeed and Altitude……compromise any one and you are at adverse risk?
  5. You will be safe when RA get a mandated ‘not above 500ft’ 🙂
  6. I watched a C17 fly North past Rockhampton 3 weeks ago via my Skyecho2 ECD……
  7. Looks like lates VFRG for Dec 2 not yet available on CASA website?
  8. WHY the selfie 🙂
  9. It’s a whole load of b/s…..media believe and publish anything.
  10. Australia Post delivered for me today 🙂 Ordered some AN hardware yesterday from Caboolture, sent in red satchel ordinary post and it arrived this morning Rockhampton 🙂 Send dead bodies ordinary post and they would still be warm when they arrived!!!
  11. Mainstream media ethics are lower than a Snake’s belly, in a wagon wheel rut 😞
  12. That’s what happens when you engage auto pilot on a Pterodactyl:-)
  13. Not sure IF this one needs new skins?
  14. I don’t care, life is short……even IF Fred Flintstone built it, I would happily fly it 🙂
  15. Shame there was not a 30L one, I think 40L maybe too big but whatever I get can also work for my Aeropup, too.
  16. And then there will be the MARAP thing with RAAus and as Thruster said, the mounting may be a problem and possibly not be allowed due to weight. The other choice is a 20l Turtlepac? Seats would be nice but again the dreaded MARAP process?
  17. I do have a 68 litre tank as it is, maybe I will add a 20l Turtlepac for added range, strap it in the Pax seat?
  18. Would be really keen to add fuel range to the Thruster. Found this photo somewhere in the Internet wastelands. What do people think of this modification?
  19. Spacey, you don’t honestly think I am game to cross any border at the risk of being ‘jailed’ in another state because some dopey Govt shifts the goal posts AGAIN 🙂
  20. Nothing happening, just camped in Esk Qld for the weekend and thought IF anyone here was flitting around I might get to meet up with them 🙂)
  21. I figured on going out at some time to do some plane spotting, since I am staying in a local caravan park for the weekend.
  22. And then you get the flying schools who will milk you for many hours not needed. IF you can’t make it in a reasonable number of hours, you are not destined to be a pilot……
  23. Fit an expansion chamber and GO!
  24. I am completing my training in Thruster with 7 hours to go (required)but will be longer and will have tail wheel at the end, which will also cover my Aeropup, too. Suspect I may spend more time in Thruster tan Aeropup, but will see what happens.
  25. Checked a couple of publications, found nothing……I will wait until someone produces a sticker for my control panel, THEN I might have the right information 🙂
