    I would have thought the son would have enough knowledge to take over if his dad had a problem. I guess they will find out more when he is out of surgery.

    Members Liability Insurance A cornerstone of protection for members is our unique Members Liability Insurance Policy which provides liability protection for those members of Recreational Aviation Australia Limited who hold a Student Pilot or Pilot Certificate. The cover, being applicable to the member (not the aircraft), means that the cover is “portable” even when piloting an RAAus registered aircraft owned by some other person anywhere in Australia. The cover has an indemnity limit of up to $20,000,000 for liability arising from third party property damage or bodily injury including a sub-limit of up to $250,000 for liability arising from injuries to passengers (including student pilots). Depending on individual circumstances, you may require more than the limits described above, so you may need to maintain additional individual insurance. Aircraft Insurance Aircraft Hull and Top Up Liability Insurance is available through Insurance House, backed by the same insurers supporting your Members Liability Cover, QBE and Allianz. Insurance House supports RAAus’ strong safety culture and has made a commitment to RAAus that it will receive remuneration for any business placed through our online facility which will assist RAAus with both existing and future safety initiatives.

    raaus will tell you the insurance covers the member for pl, nothing do with the aircraft. the policy goes with me to any raa aircraft i fly.

    the news video on 9 showed an engine spitting flames when it flew over this may have been the bird strike ?

    the raa policy has a couple of holes in it. number 1 i believe is any passenger that tried to get compensation will be told they flew at their own risk as stated on the placards in the aircraft. that may be why there is only 250k cover. number 2, myself and others rely on the raa pl policy alone. what happens if my aircraft catchs fire and damages other aircraft when i am not in it. or if the wind flips it onto another aircraft or vehicle. the policy covers the member not the aircraft so in theory the aircraft is uninsured while no one is in it. i may have this arse about but its how i read it.

    i like the asra model. they have set up an optional pl policy where the member decides if they want it. the reason for this is a lot of gyro pilots fly off farms and out the bush, they have nothing to gain from a large pl cover. this way the people that fly out of airfields can have cover without putting a burden on the members that don't want it.

    forgot about that. the rise to 20 mil was fairly recent wasn't it.

    We can come up with what if scenarios until the cows come home. Follow the rules and do the right thing and it's very unlikely you will ever have any major accident . If I listened to what I read on this forum I would leave all my trucks in the yard, sell my cars and sit at home all day. Life is a risk. You can't spend it worrying about what could happen. Do your best to mitigate risk and enjoy life.

    Looks good. Nice work.

    The ultimate insurance policy I believe is fly without passengers . Which he is doing for the 25 hour flyoff anyway. The second is fly in the country and not over built up areas.

    I understand that but all the posts about needing more cover I believe are false. We pay good money for raa cover and they are advised on the correct amount. I can't see the need to just keep giving insurance companies more and more money. T

    Seems to be a lot of advice being given here. Is the poster a qualified legal professional. Danny is covered by his raa pl. The brokers they use are well respected and I honestly think they would not short change the policy. For an individual to be advising otherwise may be misleading and causing people to second guess a policy developed by experts for raas.

    It's the way of Australia. We get shafted by big business and governments. Look at ATMs now. The banks are removing them everywhere and now if you want cash it's up to $4 to withdraw. Transurban absolutely rip us off, Woolies and Coles with the fake discount fiasco. And yet we just let it happen because none of us can be bothered rocking the boat. The snouts are getting longer and the troughs deeper.

    do you understand that he is automatically covered for public liability as an raa member.

    I thought his grandson was into drifting. Must have read it wrong.

    Good idea. Much safer to use non aero parts on a car than a plane.😁

    It's actually quite popular. I know someone that races at Calder park , he races a Nissan skyline.

    I looked at the 72 bolt Victa when I bought the AEG. Maybe I should have chosen it instead. I was disappointed with AEG products failing so quick. I thought they were a top brand.

    i have also bought an ozito line trimmer for the wife and an ozito edger. these are great for light duty work and the same batteries go in my ozito power tools. cheap but seem to work well.

    i bought a new aeg 58 volt mower, brushcutter and chainsaw about 4 yrs ago. all good for 2 years. then one battery packed up. next the chainsaw died. ended up throwing the mower and chainsaw in the hard waste. still have the brushcutter , it works great. maybe other brands are better. i now use petrol mower again. the electric mowers have a straight cutter bar. my masport petrol has proper blades like the old victas.
