  1. your right . i was thinking of my training. raaus are not allowed to train unless the cloud base is above 3000 ft.
  2. i passed a kitfox fuselage on a trailer last friday looked new but it had the dummy radial cowl. near rosedale victoria.
  3. Why are you commenting at the same time saying you know nothing about it and have read very little. Try reading the thread and coroners report then comment.
  4. So casa has their bum covered. I understand what you are saying now. But what becomes of raaus will still be casas decision.
  5. 51. 52. Mark Bland is an experienced pilot and a member of the Mount Beauty Airport Committee. He had planned to fly that morning but noted that the weather forecasts suggested it was unsuitable for recreational flying. The weather radar had shown rain across the state and strong winds at altitude. Mr Bland saw Mr Farrell’s aircraft take off from Mount Beauty – Runway 3232 to the north. He was surprised by this considering the prevailing weather. Although it wasn’t raining at the time of take-off, there was still low cloud on the ridges and hills surrounding the Kiewa Valley and he estimated the cloud base was 2,000 to 3,000 ft “at best”.33' a vfr pilot taking off with a 2000 ft cloud base.
  6. RAAus is an Approved Self-Administering Aviation Organisation (ASAO) formed under Part 149 of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations and ultimately answerable to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). this line is out of the coroners report
  7. casa oversee everything raaus do. i have been told that several times by raaus staff.
  8. Looks neat. I really don't think you would notice any difference though. Every plane I have had just pulls the fuel through the pump when it is off.
  9. Yes. What I said about part 103 is because casa have wanted it for years. Raaus have always been against it. I think there definitely changes coming. Just have to wait and see what form they take.
  10. It said only open to l2s and l4 maintainers so I assumed I don't qualify. But as blue said I can ask.
  11. That's the only photo I had on my phone I think that's when he moved it from his house to his hangar. Only a couple of km. Not saying milk crates are bad though.😁
  12. I didn't trailer it. And that is not how it was trailered there.
  13. Hope I didn't offend U nev. Saying ex teacher. I should have said retired. A teacher is always a teacher. Retired or not.
  14. I would like to do that course to buy it's only open to l2s and l4 I think.
  15. Just surprised to see an ex teacher saying that.
  16. We actually folded the wings to make room in the hangar. That's all. If I had one I would make up a trolley with castors to march the tail height with the nose wheel on the ground . It gets heavy when you swing a wing back and the tail drops. It's on light aircraft sales if anyone is looking for an immaculate gazelle. It was trailered home but had all the supports required and was fine.
  17. you would knock the wings off if you trailer it with that idea 😁
  18. rd. jabiru 2200a Location: Gippsland Country: Australia Author Posted September 18, 2022 Same in Gippsland . Blew a gale
  19. walrus Members 511 Aircraft: dart Location: moon Country: Afghanistan Posted September 18, 2022 The weather today in North Eastern Victoria has been putrid.
  20. some of the posts from when it h Moderators 7.5k Aircraft: Former Pilot - PA-28, B23, B35 Location: Vermont Victoria Country: Australia Posted September 18, 2022 Said to be near Tallangatta. Weather in Victoria is rain, thunderstorms, hail. Number on board not known. appened.
  21. not according to the pilot interviewed on the news or the airfield manager.
  22. I know a lot of people with the same opinion but we are going way off topic again
