  1. forgot about that. the rise to 20 mil was fairly recent wasn't it.
  2. 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.
  3. Same to you and the family.🎄🥳
  4. Looks good. Nice work.
  5. 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.
  6. 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
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. do you understand that he is automatically covered for public liability as an raa member.
  10. I thought his grandson was into drifting. Must have read it wrong.
  11. Good idea. Much safer to use non aero parts on a car than a plane.😁
  12. It's actually quite popular. I know someone that races at Calder park , he races a Nissan skyline.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. take a chill pill nev. the world hasn't come to an end.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. Are you saying don't trust a manufacturers website.
  19. i was making a point that things are changing at raa. not after an argument.
  20. Why. All the main manufacturers have a website with all the information you need.. it's 2024 nev not 1955
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. I think when the pilot and passengers are fixated on something on the ground airmanship goes out the window.
  24. 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.
  25. For raaus ?
