    you swore at me and i retaliated. i don't have a bad opinion of you at all. you just can't stand anyone not sharing your view . as you say this does not belong here so i will stop commenting.
  2. BrendAn
    Thousands of people have the same opinion. But as we know anyone that doesn't share your opinion is wrong. Comrade nev 😁

    I am vaccinated too so that's not why I commented. Andrews caused hundreds of deaths. He didn't save anyone.

    Have you forgotten the world's strictest covid lockdowns already Chairman dan and his comrades did that. now the state is going and broke and the government refuse to listen to anyone. The companies doing the big build are all Chinese owned now.

    you can buy quality anr headsets right here in ians shop for a fraction of that.

    if you fly a noisy little ac anr would be nice.

    thats right. no speed cameras on tollways except the tunnel entrances and wellington rd overpass on eastlink. i give all my money to transurban so i don't have enough left for fines. 4 trucks take a load through citylink and back costs me $288. adds up over a week. the drivers are getting worse every year in melbourne. no indicators, speeding, going slow in the right lane , nose to tail accidents several times a day due to people looking up from phones to late.

    there was a group pushing for p103 but they gave up. there have even been senior members of raaus that supported p103 but they didn't succeed either. its a long battle you are facing.

    https://www.legislation.gov.au/F2024L01540/asmade/text, look for section 8(e)(i) & (ii).
  12. BrendAn
    he did send a link . i will post it.

    i got the answer just now from micheal monck , and a serve for my bad attitude, thats fair enough, at least i got an answer. its a casa rule not raaus are trying to get it changed. CASA writes an exemption for us (RAAus) to operate under. It includes this passage below: in the case of a two-place aeroplane that is an amateur-built aeroplane, a kit-built aeroplane … flying training to enable: (i) any owner or part-owner who contributed to its fabrication and assembly to obtain a pilot certificate, rating or endorsement; or (ii) any owner or part-owner who did not contribute to its fabrication and assembly to obtain a rating or endorsement.

    i should say finish training. i have soloed and have over 30 hrs logged so far.
  15. BrendAn
    yes i understand, i thought if you were ga you might know how frustrating raaus can be . most of the time my dealings with them have been great but this topic drives me bananas. they even have a section in the members portal about how many raa members have crashed going from the aircraft they trained in to one they purchased for themselves without doing proper conversions. i want to train and fly in the same aircraft.
  16. BrendAn
    are you an ra member or ga
  17. BrendAn
    that would just mean they were making up their own rules as they go along which i think is what happens anyway
  18. BrendAn
    were there any real ultralights there. thrusters and the like.
  19. BrendAn
    that doesn't make sense because they would only let you use your own ac after an inspection and annual. what difference does it make if the instructor is beside you in their plane or yours.
  20. BrendAn
    yes but where is it in writing. i know a great instructor that has delivered xairs all over aus so that is not a problem. if i had helped the builder for a couple of hours i would be allowed to use it . it just does not make any sense. i have to be missing something in the manual but i can't find it. on the xair australia website micheal coates stated that if you buy a 19 reg used you become the owner builder and can use it to train yourself.
  21. BrendAn
    i have argued with them before about this. i want to know why i can do all the endorsements in it but not finish my solo training. there is nothing that i can find in the manuals.
  22. BrendAn
    can anyone tell me why raaus won't allow me to train in my 19 reg xair yet they are happy for me to do all my endorsements in it. if i was the owner builder or helped in the building of it i would have been allowed to train in it . i know its nothing to do with the safety of the instructor because he is allowed to go on xcountry nav exercises in it. it can only be protectionism for flying schools so they can profit off their own aircraft which i understand but the trouble is i only want to fly slow rag and tube ac but schools only have 90 kn plus sleek machines that appeal to students that want to go on to bigger and better aircraft. i can't be the only one that wants to fly just for the enjoyment of it surely. last night i spent hours trolling through the raaus manuals looking for this rule but i can't find anything at all. i am wondering if that office in canberra just make stuff up when it suits them . i am going email as many of the hierachy as i can and ask for the section of the manual that rules against me because i can't find it.

    what else would you do. you are confined to a 25 mile radius of the aircrafts home base.

    hi don, have you looked at the anr headsets in the shop on this site. they are not much more than the kit you are looking at.
