    In which case I would never fly to or from an airport I did not think safe enough. Serves as a good reminder to me when planning any trip to make sure I feel safe to fly to a location, or not.

    Long intakes also help engine torque?

    Sorry, it IS Wal. Maybe best to hunt down a 582 and get him to do it. I was originally going to send him mine to do up, but decided to get a new one……when It comes I will drop my old one out and send it to him and get rebuilt, then I have a spare 🙂

    You don’t need to send it to the U.S. There is a guy near Melbourne certified to rebuild your engine and be zero timed. You could look for a 582 and do the same to it, more power and again zero timed. Would have to hunt up his number for you.

    My 25 rego T300 is flying with. 582 on condition, and running fine, however I did order a new complete Rotax motor with g/box so it will be zero time when installed.

    One can only pass on what the media prints, hence even posting the story as reported can be wrong 😞 I posted in good faith but maybe that’s a mistake, too.

    Here is another pic from the news article, looks different aircraft? Probably BOTH file photos 😞

    This was the photo published in The Chronicle relating to the crash, but we all know the lazy media often use file photos these days 😞

    This was the aircraft.. 😞

    Sadly it’s all true 🙂. Saving Bankstown now would be akin to trying to save the Titanic if it was equiped with bilge pumps from a 12ft tinny😞 Start making plans that don’t include Bankstown…….. The man with the nuts and bolts shop goes and buys a truck, sets it up like the Snap On Tools business model and he travels to various airports flogging his wares. A maintenance facility looks to move to another airport, same as any aviation business and considers NOTHING will change at Bankstown………the ship has sailed and it ain’t coming back 😞 The big time corporates have got what they wanted and it’s the end of an Aviation era, sad but true…….

    Arse is too close to the ground IF the plane does a gear up landing 🙂

    Yes, 4 manufacturers under the FAA FAR Part 103 in the U.S. https://www.eaa.org/eaa/aviation-interests/ultralights/getting-started-in-ultralight-flying/ultralight-manufacturers No category as such in Australia, however I have been referred to our CAO 95.10? that MAY allow unregistered aircraft to fly within the confines of the aircraft owners property, with restrictions? This needs clarification? https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2021L01670

    Every time I mention these types of flying machine to modern aviators, the ‘CASA lovers’ want to shoot me down 😞 Well, it’s coming……my day in the sky with NO registration and NO bullsh1t will happen……it’s on my bucket list. So, the little goody two shoes RA-aus and others will have to lump it. It will probably have to be a night VFR flight at midnight on a full Moon….what fun that would be 🙂

    As Nike would say ‘Just Do It’ 🙂

    Well, our peak body better get it right, IF any members make a mistake anywhere, RAaus are quick to call them out 😞
  19. jackc
    RA-Aus are our peak body, also our regulators and are always on about Safety which is good, but they need to get up to speed on thorough detailed incident reports that everyone can learn from. Everyone stands to learn 🙂

    One would’ve thought members from the coalface should’ve been included?

    Want to keep the Aviation budget low with minimal instruction cost, and no problem medicals. We need a Foundation Aviation sector for Australia. Just copy FAA FAR Part 103 in its entirety, from the U.S. It just celebrated it 40th anniversary recently.

    We have 3 problems, drivers with no care for others, cars with razor sharp power steering and, cruise controls….

    Now, from what I have heard from a learned source Part 43 may never see the light of day as it has to go through the the Senate and may not make it, the LAMES Guild? may see to it that as a result of their efforts against it?
