Private Training - A cheaper option?
jackc replied to Jeffmel's topic in Student Pilot & Further Learning
YouTube can be good at teaching you to fly, getting to episode 22 āGoing Solo, might be scary though, but after completing the 50 take off ground runs, without any ground loops, you should be good to go š -
Suitable hand held radio - Your advice, please
jackc replied to old man emu's topic in Instruments, Radios and Electronics
Flightstore have these on special at present, I got one 3 months ago and they work well. https://www.flightstore.com.au/icom-ic-a25ce-airband-vhf-handheld-transceiver -
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 ānoā so she smells a rat! Here it isā¦.. Got a nice pic of Tonyās immaculate 912 powered Drifter taxiing for departure on Sunday.

The message I get is quite simply NEVER stall your aircraft, alway practice safe flyingā¦ā¦.. -
Australia dumps troubled European-designed Taipan helicopters
jackc replied to red750's topic in Military Aviation
Itās an inherent problem that all human beings have in lesser and greater degrees, everyone wants to make their āmarkā 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. -

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

Raping RAA at $545.00 per day? Discrimination at its worst? A complaint to Fair Trading should be madeā¦ā¦ -
NO gutsā¦ā¦..NO glory, all it takes for evil to prosper is for good people to sit on their hands and do, NOTHING. A shameful thing to happen to our peak body.

Turbo, Did you stand up and say something? Did you take any action or investigate same?
-
Turbo, I know the consequences of everything I have undertaken in my life and never had a problem. Even IF I built my own aircraft, just like the Wright Brothers did and flew where there are no people in a rural area. Who can sue my dead body IF I inadvertently crashed into a mountain somewhere. What regulator is going to summons my dead body to court? Well let me tell you somethingā¦ā¦.many people I have told of my rogue ideas, love them š I even been asked how they can be in on the scheme š. Why? Because they are sick of this World full of whinging, snitching, do gooder pussies of this World who live very sad lives and have no idea of adventure. I am lucky that I have 2 planes and donāt have to go ārogueā but I will say itās more than once crossed my mind to get an Aerolyte 103 electric kit and fly so I can say āI did it my wayā š Andā¦ā¦I donāt give a FF what anyone thinks, I am 70 years old and stuck on my 21st birthday, while other unhappy Dinosaurs sit in front of their stupid TV set waiting to die š

I will be there as a ground support helper, via my local flying club.

I have always agonised that Australia has no FAA FAR Part 103 regime, thinking that it could boost a āFoundation Aviationā following and be a future start for some people interested in Aviation. Seeing RAAus Flying Schools now charging upwards of $300 per hour plus surcharges is starting to be unaffordable.for many. I would not blame people if they imported one of Dennis Carleyās Aerolyte 103 RTF kits and just did final assembly and flew under the radar, People say you need full flight instruction bla bla. Just do a few hours RAA, and heaps of Youtube videos and study flight principles and youāre away! IF I knew at the start what grief I was in for in following the the RAA or GA thing, I would have gone under the radar and done my Part 103 thing. Yeah I know this post will find its way to CASA and RAA, but I openly state my opinion at any time and if the pussies donāt like it. Then go listen to Bon Joviās song āItās My Lifeā That, is how I run my life š

I could mount a good case for the return of owner ID signage on both doors of trucksā¦ā¦.maybe I should give it a shot?
-
Easy, just start a NEW AUF š However be aware you will be flying unlicensed in stealth mode and organising clandestine flights under the radar. Organisation via encrypted email service, NO Youtube publication of operation lest the āsnitchesā get you. Remote airstrip flyins to strips where there is no mobile phone coverage? Sounds almost like āunderground aviationā. flying fun at its best š I will await the arrival of āRAA Black Forceā for my unlawful arrest š š

And, removing names from truck doors has made it real easy for tilt tray trucks to steal cars as bystanders canāt identify trucks so easily to report a crime. Same for removalist thieves emptying a house out. Police pull over a truck and check rego against door markings. We dropped the ball on that oneā¦ā¦..

While I am at it, last election I tried to phone candidates, left messages and got nowhere. I did not know any of them from a bar of soap as I live in an aviation āwastelandā How could I voteā¦ā¦.no interest on there part, so no interest on my part?
-
Well, when I make a safety enquiry and I am told āWe donāt care IF you stick your plane together with blue takā. And while I am at it, a āCondition Reportā is almost worthless as far as airworthiness is concerned. I am sorry but there are probably a few other deficiencies too, but like everythingā¦..all it takes is a few good people to sit on their hands and do NOTHING. How could you blame my attitude to all this, if they donāt care why should I?

How would you feel about VICPOL Ltd?
