  1. IF CASA have some pull on this ASIC Card b/s they may be a chance that the new boss Pip Spence may get a chance to look closer, rumour has it she has been working on quite a few things that GA and RAaus may benefit from, but it will be CASA driven.
  2. Wrong viscosity lubricant:-)
  3. Be lucky to have chronic smokers and drinkers to pay for medical treatment needed because of their habit…….moist are broke and destitute, no money to pay for any medical treatment. People would say they deserve what they get, but they are still human beings and deserve consideration for medical treatment.
  4. Turbs, it’s complicated for newbies like me! OK for you guys who have been in the Aviation field at all levels, since the Dinosaur age 🙂 I just have a lot of learning to do and am prepared to do what is needed, think I am getting there, should have enough time before I croak, given luck…….
  5. I have downloaded the latest digital version VFRG V7 ( hate e-books) but have also ordered the print copy from CASA when they have it available. I rather print copies as I can easily book mark relevant pages so can easily refer to them as needed since the text makes reference to various sections on other pages. In for some study time, I think 🙂
  6. It looks to me that it’s almost impossible to prove your innocence against an accusation of breaching the rules, in some cases? WHY has all this got to be so complicated.
  7. Looks like I will end up in CASA ‘gaol’ as I am bound to miss something, somewhere 😞.
  8. 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…..
  9. 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…….
  10. Not you surely 🙂
  11. 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?
  12. You will be safe when RA get a mandated ‘not above 500ft’ 🙂
  13. I watched a C17 fly North past Rockhampton 3 weeks ago via my Skyecho2 ECD……
  14. Looks like lates VFRG for Dec 2 not yet available on CASA website?
  15. WHY the selfie 🙂
  16. It’s a whole load of b/s…..media believe and publish anything.
  17. 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!!!
  18. Mainstream media ethics are lower than a Snake’s belly, in a wagon wheel rut 😞
  19. That’s what happens when you engage auto pilot on a Pterodactyl:-)
  20. Not sure IF this one needs new skins?
  21. I don’t care, life is short……even IF Fred Flintstone built it, I would happily fly it 🙂
  22. Shame there was not a 30L one, I think 40L maybe too big but whatever I get can also work for my Aeropup, too.
  23. 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?
  24. 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?
  25. 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?
