    Tooradin was bought by Amber Airports a few years ago, haven't heard anything good about Tooradin since then. I think they thought they could make plenty of money out of it.

    I have noticed I'm getting Maurice Blackburn ads about the Matt Farrell case on social media. Seems like the ambulance chasing lawyers have aviation in their sights

    I always lusted after a BD5 as a kid, as a 6"2 adult there is no way I could fit in one

    I don't have ADSB, don't even have a battery, charging system or a starter for that matter

    CASA can't update their drone regulations quickly enough to keep up with the advances in technology as it is,

    Thanks Neil, I find talking to people who are actually using them is a big help rather than relying on online reviews. I'm based in Gippsland.

    Thanks, I will continue to read up on the various options. Unfortunately at this stage it isn't a Cub, that is what I learnt to fly in and is definitely the end goal though.

    So the plane I have just bought has no electrical systems at all and I have been looking at internal battery powered ADSB in/out options. Seems to be a few options including Foreflight, Uavionix, Appareo, Garmin etc. Anyone using something like this and have any feedback they would like to share? Thanks in advance

    Only commercially operated drones require registration, and even then there is virtually no enforcement of the rules until something goes wrong. You can even fly a drone up to 150kg over your own land with a basic RePL remote pilots licence. There are so many recreational drones out there it isn't funny.

    Great result

    From the information here it appears that @RegularPerson is doing the right thing trying to educate himself about the situation he has been placed in seemingly without any consultation from his neighbour. It is also good to see he is trying to come up with an amicable solution. As SpaceSailor pointed out he could make his neighbours life very difficult by planting a line of trees or putting up a flagpole/windmill/mast etc. It's also great that the pilot is known and vouched for by a member on here but whilst we know and respect the members opinion what weight does that really have with a member of the public whose house is being overflown at low altitude. As someone who is currently looking for a property I can put an airstrip on I really hope that a satisfactory solution can be found for both parties

    Please keep us updated as to the outcome. As a pilot I would not feel comfortable overflying someone's house at such a low altitude nor would I feel comfortable with someone overflying my house that low. I don't see that you are being unreasonable and am surprised the neighbour did not approach you before conducting flight ops from their property

    A 100 hourly or annual inspection is a requirement to maintain registration

    The Kitfox is a well known design that has been around since the 80's with thousands built and flown. I wouldn't let that cause you more concern

    RAAus are running a L1 Practical course at Wings out West in Dubbo in late March

    It states on the Form 013 - Recreational Aircraft Condition Report "NOT TO BE FLOWN IF UNREGISTERED" "If possible a flight demonstration should be performed by the owner, or a pilot nominated by the owner, in the presence of the inspector."

    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.
  18. T510
    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?
  20. T510
    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
  21. T510
    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.
