I just enquired with SAAA, you can not maintain a VH registered amateur built aircraft unless you where the builder or you have built an essentially similar aircraft. If CASA part 43 regulations get up you would be able to.

If a plane is unregistered how does RAAus administer it? The RAAus Flight Ops manual says their only form of enforcement is to suspend or apply a variation to a licence and they need to inform CASA. Can't take a licence off someone who doesn't have one and is flying an unregistered plane

1. If this is the case does it find a "happy" level where the oil level stays the same and the consumption is reduced 2. Have you tried going back to Aeroshell W100 - I know one of my cars burns more oil if I use one brand even though the oil specs are the same (both 5w30) 3. Are the heads identical so they can be swapped? If the oil drains back to the crankcase through the pushrod tubes do you change them with the heads?

2 stroke oil is designed to burn, has a very low or zero ash content and usually has some detergents added to minimize the deposits in the combustion chamber. Can't really compare it to a 4 stroke burning oil

I thought you said there was no injuries? Unless you are talking about non compliant aircraft being grounded and other RA aircraft having to go through an audit?

Mt Beauty is in a valley surrounded by higher terrain. "Mr Bland also recalled that Tawonga Gap was in cloud. The lookout at Tawonga Gap is approximately 550 metres (1,800 ft) above Mount Beauty airport. Reference to these landmarks supports the lower end of the range of Mr Bland’s estimated height of the cloud base and I am satisfied the lower height of 2,000 ft “at best” is more likely. " The coroners report is pretty damning of RAAus

Video is now private, I'm guessing he received some negative feedback

Pretty sure Floods uses Lilydale airport for it's maintenance base

Thanks, I have contacted them to enquire about taking part.

Who was the email from? I'd be keen to take part in the Rotax maintenance course

According to the NTSB report the tail rotor hit the ground causing it to break off. If you read the NTSB report, CEN25LA031, there is a fair bit of detail. No need to guess

1 minor injury according to the NTSB report. Lucky no one got hit by the shrapnel

It's real, unless NTSB are investigating AI accidents now A wider angle here

As the owner of a 10 reg plane I forget the hoops others have to leap through

I like the look of these for extra fuel if your aircraft has somewhere to mount them. https://www.aircraftspruce.com.au/catalog/eppages/ultralighttank05-12347.php 10 gallons if you can mount two and no extra fuel in the cockpit.
