  1. More rubbish. These posts seem to be more about your ego and trying to show your intellectual superiority to us lowly commoners. Wtf has the sporting shooters association got to do with flying. Show me the equivalent of part 103. Are you an raaus member. I doubt it.
  2. Well that tells me nothing . There is no equivalent except in your mind.
  3. Raaus are dead against bringing it in because they are afraid of losing members and their money. But it would only be a small group that would switch anyway.
  4. Show us the equivalent of part 103. I don't understand what you're talking about.
  5. We don't have the equivalent to 103. Are you talking about the early category. 300ft ceiling . No flight over bitumen rds.
  6. I watched a YouTube yesterday. a flight in a Cirrus sr22. The owner said Cirrus advise 600ft minimum to deploy chute but the manufacturer of the chutes says deploy at any height. I have read of a chute deployment at 100 ft that saved the pilots life.
  7. Witnesses observed it flying very low struggling to gain altitude.
  8. I realise it won't be compulsory. The point I was making is raa is moving into the GA world .
  9. The woman in the video used to be one of our councillors. Wellington shire.
  10. Experienced instructors killed in Nambucca Heads plane crash 5 hours ago · Bodies of pilot and pass The pilot, Mark White, 67, was an experienced pilot and instructor at local flying school Midcoast Microlights.

  11. he flipped his Cessna on its roof after an engine failure but he thinks everyone else should have their planes signed off.🤣 the other person saying too many young pilots getting killed. where are the records of that.
  12. don't forget some photos. 👍
  13. channel 9 said it was raaus and the pilot/owner also owns a flying school if its the person they said it was its not his plane. he has a foxbat
  14. hi mate, would you be able to post pics and updates on the build as you go along. i and others would love to watch your progress. did you import the kit or do they have an agent in australia. aircraft spruce?
  15. cat g and cta endorsement will push raaus even further away from affordable flying than it is now.
  16. bring on part 103. casa want it. raaus don't. a lot of other countries have it and its gaining popularity. single seat. keep away from busy areas and fly low 500 to 1500 agl. i would be happy with that, in the unlikely event that i got killed who cares, didn't take anyone with me.
  17. your right. the daily mail footage shows a heli winching up a survivor in a life jacket as well. different crash to yesterdays.
  18. what the government waste every day would cover plenty of atsb investigations. priorities are out of wack in this country.
  19. THE BIG DEBATE is the 40:1 PREMIX RATIO. I been rebuilding the Rotax 2 stroke crankshafts since January 2011. Since then, I have learned a lot. Most other manufactures use 2 piling slots at the lower eye in the connecting rod to supply more oil to that prone to fail bearing. WSM, a large improvement company, builds replacement rods for the 582 engines with the required 2 oil slots. Now PLEASE understand this: every two out of three 582 engines that fail, does so in the lower rod bearing, which burns up causing the failure. Since I started rebuilding these crankshafts I have NEVER had one single 582 lower rod bearing fail. WHY? 70% of the cure is 40:1 gas oil ratio. The other 30% is due to the double oil slot. this is from rotax rick , what don mentioned earlier.
  20. well it was a lot more than 40-1 to do that. 1200 hours flying 2 stroke you know that.
