The one thing I notice in RA/VH experimental A/C is the panel layouts go from well thought out organised Std set up's to a real dogs breakfast! (the latter mostly the case) Whilst it's all about choice the worrying offshoot to all the unesesary fancy gizmos is who's looking out the window anymore? A recent flight in well equiped experimental that had all the bells & whistles showed that the driver was heads down for a lot of the flight even in the circuit! We will never really know how many inflight close calls we actually have cause nobody is looking out the window anymore! All this stuff interferes with reaction time and we ha e seen no doubt a lot of auto accidents attributed to the fancy techno crap!.

You just described a part of human nature, to be expected on any forum. We are ALL very opinionated, a trait that we often don't even recognise ourselves?

Toy planes, gardening and of course driving planes? Cars are a waste of money?
-
I feel for those youngins who have the desire to fly commercially it's pretty much a dead end road for the foreseeable future?

R/T is so quiet these days, feels like I'm the only one up there, ATC must be falling alseep? -
Learning key words in class D
Flightrite replied to Ando's topic in Student Pilot & Further Learning
When I first started driving planes I bought a Tandy airband recieved and listed as much as I could. I'd recommend listening out from the various avenues, much can be learned in the real world!? -
Was wondering when someone would bring that up?
-
I've been out flying sorry?
-
Welcome, hope you've been Covid tested??

All true, well to me anyway. Doesn't bother me what other people do, having also driven semi's a good truck driver had plenty of grease for his turntable? since my apprenticeship days 47 years ago I'll continue spraying all my hinges and greasing everything that moves if I can,I sleep well at night?

Ah got out for a spin today left all the fear and hysteria behind!? Life's good??

Spitfire, the people’s plane.
Flightrite replied to pmccarthy's topic in Aircraft General Discussion
Haha probably true! In another life I cut my teeth on Pommy junk cars, the Pomms where obviously drunk on Guinness when they designed a lot of their working machinery! The DH104's I used to drive where an ergonomic disaster!? -
Been towing stuff all my life including vans around Oz a few times in very dusty conditions, always greased the tow ball, never seen any wear that is detectable! The only downside is that they are messy if you brush up against a tie ball, yuk?

It just means the detector has reached a set limit, doesn't mean you die on the spot! You land when you can?

Touché', love it!?

Site Donations, are you up for it !
Flightrite replied to Butch's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
I don't see 'site donations' on the left if my screen? -
That's exactly what I do. These days I fly when I want to fly, to hell with sched's, TS's and MEL's??
-
You keep coming up with the facts KR, good work!? If this killer virus is so fatal then why are all the cops and other checkers not wearing full pressure bio hazard suits instead of $1 cheap face masks?
-
ARO see my post #131, get back to me when we have that situation! Till then it's hysteria and fear that is out of control!
-
Hope yr Vans is 4x4 capable!? Be very careful Thruster, I've seen a few A's on their lids!
-
INOX MX3, been using it for a long time and grease on my tow ball?
-
That's an extreme POV that not everyone shares!
-
Well said?
-
There's always one!

I agree. We are carpet bombing the nation to save a few who where venerable in the first place to a whole host of related viruses! I'm still waiting to see the dead bodies piled up on the streets that match the current hysteria we are being fed with! Remember everything dies ventually!
