    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.

    you call yourself the facthunter. live up to your name. i don't know of any manufacturers that don't run a company website usually with the information people seek on there.

    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.

    Are you saying don't trust a manufacturers website.
  12. BrendAn
    i was making a point that things are changing at raa. not after an argument.
  13. BrendAn
    Why. All the main manufacturers have a website with all the information you need.. it's 2024 nev not 1955

    That was 2022. Ths year things have changed. Raas are going over everything with a fine tooth comb these days. There are inconsistencies too. Forcing people to get casa weight and balance checks at a cost of up to $1000 . My 2 xairs they dropped one to 450.kg from 544 and the other to 490 because I said I wasn't happy with 450. There is a bloke on Facebook who was made to get a w&b for a trike at a cost of $835, it was a standard Aus brand trike with no mods at all, been regoed with safa for 20 yrs but raaus forced the issue as part of the transfer. A vh plane can go it's whole life without a w&b if it's not modified.

    If I told you all the near misses and crap that I put up with every day it would take forever. When U drive around Melbourne all day you become immune to most stuff .the latest Muppet trick is to fly past and cut across the front of trucks to an exit ramp. Even if there is nothing behind the truck. I worked 5 hours this morning and only got cut off once. That's a great day.

    I think when the pilot and passengers are fixated on something on the ground airmanship goes out the window.

    What was the magazine I used to buy at the newsagents. Pacific flier?. I think the editor was Angela. Used to look forward to every issue.
  18. BrendAn
    For raaus ?

    Online is the way to go. We are all on there anyway.

    Sorry. I thought you were talking about a microlight licence in the UK.
  21. BrendAn
    Thanks red. I do watch a few YouTube's on jodels ,mainly uk
  22. BrendAn
    Yes, I heard it gets shutdown each time .
  23. BrendAn
    Why can't U explain it here. Would be good to hear from the horses mouth so to speak.
  24. BrendAn
    thats pretty clear. 10 yrs or 1500 hrs the cloth comes off so it makes it easy to have a good look over the spars on that aircraft.
  25. BrendAn
    none there you reckon. there are more thrusters and xairs flying there than here. they also have easier medicals and fast track licensing for ultralight/microlight.
