    My old DCA blue logbook fell apart eventually and the cloth covering came away from the cardboard.

    It is not optional for GA pilots, must have ASIC or Avid.

    People have varying eyesight ability, or visual acuity. Some can see a speck in the distance, others not. When people argue in favour of see and avoid, they do not acknowledge this. Anything that can help should be embraced.

    The review of this aircraft in the latest Sport Pilot is interesting, the plane sounds great. Am I right in thinking that a 17:1 glide ratio will make it quite sensitive to turbulence due low wing loading?

    The video showing testing of the Mars Ingenuity chopper seems to show one rotor going the wrong way. I wonder if this was deliberate or the reason for the delay.

    Coincidentally I had just watched this.

    The symptoms are the same as I had with a Microair some years back, there was slight contact in the soldered joint in the antenna connector.

    This has been very interesting to me both for aviation and motorcycle engines. Thanks everyone.

    That’s so cruel, with his dad not yet in the ground.:)

    Sidney Cotton invented the Sidcot flying suit in 1917. It was so popular that the Red Baron was wearing a purloined one when he was shot down. Later Amy Johnson wore one.

    I had just written an item about Australian aviation inventions for our aero club newsletter, I missed Warren and Grant. But they missed Sidney Cotton and Alf Traeger, who made the flying doctor possible.

    The very first Sikorsky also had twin tail rotors. But it is not the one you are thinking of.

    The caption on this photo says it was an early experimental version of the S-56 but the caption may be wrong. I will keep looking. 🙂

    Sikorsky S-56 then!

    I cannot find HITC or his project using search. I remember he got deleted a decade ago and came back, wonder what happened this time.

    This would provide a good base line for design. There are plenty of them flying in the USA, only one I believe in Australia.

    Texan Club in Australia is 550kg.

    Tell that to Finnegan.

    This is a silly discussion. I learned in high school that mass is a property of the object and weight is the force it exerts due to the gravitational field it is in. What is hard or confusing about that?

    I was in Royal Park in Melbourne today at the appointed hour and did not see any of the aircraft.

    My friend was required by CAsA to have a stress test for his Class 2. He did it against the advice of his cardiologist. He had a coronary event during the test. He was never the same and died of it some time later.

    The applications for this were blown out of all proportion.
