    As soon as he gets his 'inverted flying endorsement' I would think. Alan.

    Regarding biopsies I had mine done eleven years ago with no problems. Whilst it is slightly invasive I had 6 samples taken and only slightly felt the last two. The doctor was a female so whether she just had a very gentle touch or I was completely relaxed I'm not sure, but it was not in any way a painful procedure. Frankly I would rather have the biopsie than have a tooth out..........I'm just glad that we don't have teeth there because I probably would not have gone ahead with it. Alan.

    Stone the crows, swinging a pick in the back garden whilst checking on overflying aircraft. Alan.

    Hi guys, although I gave up flying three years ago (now aged 76), thanks to my wife's insistence that I get a check up, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer at age 64, the cancer was aggressive but thankfully we got it early and had it removed. Please, please, please get a regular check up after the age of 40 yrs, yes I did state 40. Alan. (A very thankful survivor).

    Why not?

    Several years ago nine of us pilots in Adelaide chartered a turboprop aircraft to fly to Narromine for the day and we all thoroughly enjoyed it, however my wife and I will now have to come for at least a week. My wife loves cooking and I like eating. My wife and I used to knit regularly (my uncle taught me when I was 8 yrs old) We both love roses and have more than 100 different varieties in our garden. We have never been to the Zoo at Dubbo. We would both like to visit the telescope at Parkes. My wife loves socialising with the other ladies at Fly-ins. My wife also likes to see me happily mixing with other aviation enthusiasts. Life can be a real buzz at times. Alan. PS. you're going to have to read all the posts to get my drift, sorry.

    I think he may just be a member of the Rotary Club having a good time.

    One two three cats sank. Simple. Alan.

    She is definitely keeping a breast of the times. Alan.

    Sounds like quite a good idea but I would be interested as to what you would do if you were at 3,000 ft and had an inflight fire. I'm not trying to be smart here, just curious. Alan.

    Back in Guernsey many years ago when I learned to fly, several wives learned to fly up to a first solo level without actually doing it . This not only taught them to be able to fly in an emergency, but helped them to take an active interest in their husbands hobby. My wife has supported me fully during my many years of flying including working to help me buy some of my aircraft over the years. Thanks love. Alan.

    Agree, however, too much thinking slows reaction time. Alan.

    Not sure Ada, please advise. I thought you were in your early stages of learning to fly, my apologies if I am wrong. Alan.

    Ada, just learn to fly, get at least 50 hours experience (preferably 100 hours) and then worry about the above question. Alan.

    An oval circuit would be a better option if you had to do an emergency landing on a football oval....those corner posts on a soccer oval could be a problem. . Alan.

    Don't worry Aldo we all make mistakes, however, please repeat it in the correct thread because you make a very good point indeed. Alan.

    I would never get caught with that one because I have no interest in flying a Pitts and if I did, my instructor would explain it to me. Alan. ps As you say I would also need to 'install the wings' before I went flying in the first place.
  22. Guernsey
    Critical angle of attack to stall the wing can occur at any speed. Reduce angle of attack (stick forward) unstalls the wing. Quite simple really. Always worked for me. Alan.

    Having met a few in the air I agree. Because of their size and weight I believe that they should be registered with RaAus and conform to our flying restrictions. Alan.

    A large percentage of my flying was doing circuits, why you might ask, well first of all I really enjoyed doing them but most importantly I was practicing just about every sort of flying manoeuvre, other than aerobatics, that your likely to come across, and I could stop for a coffee or a wee wee at any time.. Alan.

    Or jumping to a tall tail. (tail) Alan.
