I have been involved with ply and timber boats since I was a kid. I love wood. The question I asked is about inspecting an old wooden wing. How do people thoroughly inspect one without removing the fabric. I don't know if sellers would be too keen on allowing potential buyers to hack up their wing skins.
-
never thought of it that way.
-
skippy i think you need to give raa techs a ring and discuss what they expect now. for instance both my xairs were 544kg for twenty plus years. this year raaus cut one back to 450 kg and the other to 490. i asked why and was told they wanted everyone to be safe, the real reason is the mt beauty court case. like i said in another post. things are changing.

i would love to buy a jodel but i have the same concerns about wood as talked about here. how do you inspect a wooden wing without wrecking the fabric. maybe a borescope type camera. and cut a few small sections which can be patched neatly.
-
i agree with skip.90% crap. and what does flying around the world have to do with raaus.
-
i wish we could set up a new organisation for real ultralight fliers and let the wannabe ga pilots have raaus. all the people that fly simple cheap rag and tube in the bush will keep getting slugged higher fees to help cover costs for the others to fly cta and heavier aircraft.

how can you possibly inspect a wing without removing the covering. is that what the ten year inspection involves. i guess it would always have good wingskins if that is the case.,

What specific info does Ra Aus need for propellers?
BrendAn replied to danny_galaga's topic in Engines and Props
i think you will find that has changed now. everything has got harder the last 12 months with raas. the mt beaty court case has ruffled a lot of feathers. i have registered 2 19 category planes recently and i had to supply information on engine and prop. had a hell of a time getting a 582 powered xair transferred because it had a sweetapple fitted but had a brolga when first registered. they accepted it eventually but it took 2 weeks. -
sorry. i misunderstood.
-
What are you saying. Are you like turbo . You put people down for asking a question.
-
i can figure that out on my own. i posted on the forum to discuss with the members. i know you have a wealth of knowledge but you prefer to make comments that are not helpful. . when i asked the question why not say what you did when you used to fly.
-
I am blocking you turbo. You don't seem to be able to give sensible replies.

Were the sapphires easy to fly. They look pretty sleek
-
I think it's his go to answer if he doesn't know himself. Interesting to read that there is no hard and fast rule. That instructor was right even though he told me different to the others.
-
Thanks. I was just reading those old posts.
-
Helpful as usual. Are you saying I was taught wrong. Or you don't know.

On my last flight with an instructor about 3 months ago, something was said that I didn't understand. In all the training I have done I have always been told to stay on the centre line when backtracking on a runway. But on that last flight we had to backtrack and when I got on the center line the instructor had a go at me and told me to get off the center line because it was bad airmanship. I was doing what every instructor has taught me then raises his voice and has a go at me for it. We did one circuit and I was still put off from getting that rebuke so I landed and said forget it . Why would it be bad airmanship to travel in the center line.

CASA takes action following Bathurst 1000 incident
BrendAn replied to Methusala's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
that bloke on here when it happened said his mate. [the pilot] had rang casa and they said it was all good. no drama hitting a wall with a control surface then flying off . -
sorry peter. i was joking about dipacro. but your comments are incorrect, there are a lot of highly experienced people on this forum. i learn things all the time asking questions on here. i think you were a bit unfair to nev , he always endeavours to help with his knowledge as do several others.
-
I apologise if I offended you. I know instructors can be quite fragile.
-
An raaus pilot can not fly in cta so while it is good experience it is also a lot of money for no real gain with an raaus certificate.
-
But does that endorsement convert straight to raas . If it does then I understand why people are recommending it.
-
Moorabbin prices are a joke. Enough to put most people off raas . $490 per hr for a jabiru
-
Why are people recommending ga training. He needs raaus.

A Jetstar flight turned back this week because it blew a tyre on takeoff. Is there a risk of jamming the gear if they retract it or some other reason they don't fly on and change it at the destination.
