    I think he means 'us' the rank and file members and 'the RAA' being the Board. Alan.

    Hi John, welcome to the forum, It is good to see you getting your own aircraft (especially a Jabiru), moving back to SA, having your own hangar at Truro Flats, and getting back with all those fantastic guys and gals up there, life doesn't get better than that. . Haven't been up there for quite some time but will no doubt catch up with you again sometime. All the best, Alan and Jacqueline Marriette.

    My wife and family made it compulsory for me to carry a Plb when flying my single seat recreational aircraft, I totally agreed so I bought one. Alan.

    Rate of climb 2,000ft per minute? Alan.

    Depends whether it is Kilo years or Nautical years I suppose. Alan.

    When I was at primary school around 65 years ago there was always one fattie on average in a class of thirty, I wonder what the ratio is today. I now weigh 70 kgs and in spite of every attempt possible, I have never been able to exceed 72 kgs. At a recent fly-in I frightened the daylights out of some spectators by shouting Boo! as they passed in front of my aircraft. I was hiding behind one of my propeller blades. On a commercial flight I can share my seat with anyone and have no problems passing the food trolley to go to the toilet. On another positive note all of my aircraft have performed exceptionally well, in particular the rate of climb. I could list many more advantages but I don't want to upset anyone who is struggling to get their weight down. Alan.

    Perhaps there are no dead drifters....they seem to live for ever. Alan.

    Seems like some people should have gone to specsavers... Alan.

    What was the first post??? Alan .

    You have to have a bit of a flare for these sort of landings. Alan.

    Be careful BugsyB, a trial flight often turns into the start of a flying career. Keep us in touch. Alan.
  17. Guernsey
    Absolutely. Alan.

    Yes! Everyone in Guernsey was happy when I was deported to Australia in 1970.....they couldn't stand my sense of humour. Alan.

    Wash baby more frequently but be careful what you use......it may cause ' nappy rash '. Seriously Plexus on any type of plastics, (designed specifically for aircraft windows) I have also found that Spray and Wipe is good on oily surfaces. Alan.

    Turtle wax. Alan.

    I am sorry guys that I am not able to contribute anything to this forum discussion however, I had hoped to win that recent $70,ooo,ooo lottery and was going to donate $10,000,000 to Jabiru and another $10,000,000 to Camit to develop the newly improved engine plus what ever amount it would cost to pay a group of pilots willing to test fly the engine in five separate Jabirus for 1,500 hours each as quickly as possible. The offer still stands whenever I do win. In the mean time Merry Christmas everyone.. Alan.

    My neighbour across the road when looking at my 'Swing Wing' under the carport (see photo) asked me how the engine drove the wheels whilst running down the runway before take off. Alan.
  23. Guernsey
    Love those tail draggers.
  24. Guernsey
    Don't worry David, we are all pretty broad minded on this forum, so how about an indecent photo??? Alan.
  25. Guernsey
    Swing Wing is correct. . Alan.
