    I have seen interviews with crash survivors who recommend keeping it in your pocket. Because you will not remember to grab it when exiting the plane and so it goes up in smoke unactivated if the plane burns.

    Drones are the key to this.

    I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today. JWW. He gave his name to a bomber and a hamburger chain. Not bad for a cartoon character.

    I think you could sign temporary MR on a sheet of paper to cover a flight. But I am no lawyer! Your licence/medical arrives digitally, can you retrieve it from archived email?

    First time I persuaded my wife to go flying.

    You need the licence, POH and MR but not the logbook.

    The prop on Scrappy came from an airboat. It has done test runs but there was a recent hint that it will be changed for something more aviation like.

    You took a while, given the discussions we have had I thought you would be the first to reply!

    And as I posted earlier, I use Google but a description in words to search. Sometimes I waste (enjoy) an hour doing it. I agree image search is cheating, but the few times I tried it for an aeroplane it always found a Cessna 172.

    John’s multi plane from 1920. Googled “the airplane with the most wings”. 🤔

    Of course, you are quick too Peter.

    Nah. But I think of good key words that describe it and spend a half hour scrolling! This came up immediately as push pull twin airplane.

    What fun that would be!

    Disagreement is fine, but we have some people who become abusive or call people names. It happens everywhere on line.

    Weight is a problem. I have both RAA and GA licence/certificate but fly GA due weight. I am 122 Kg and cannot carry a passenger and reasonable fuel for a trip with small baggage in RA types. Also check seat weight limits which apply in RA, due to safety issues with vertical G forces and structural failure in an accident. I am hopeful increased weight limits in RA may solve this eventually.

    Back in the 1950s my uncle Lyle had just got his license. He took his older brother, my uncle Harold, for a flight from Bankstown. I think Harold's face tells it all. (Hope I didn't post this previously)

    Those of us of a certain age will get the quote but not many I suspect. Stop, or I'll fill you full of bronze.

    I don’t understand the camera technology. How can pan and tilt be adjusted while on late final with pilot only? good video!

    Or wear driving gloves to avoid splinters.

    The discussion seems all about transponderish things, are there any other consequences of class E?
