    Anyone got a cheap pair of floats ?

    I miss the red dirt like you wouldn’t believe. I worked in the Upper Gascoyne in the 70’s and the Alice in late 80’s. But at 76 it really is a bit of a dream. so I’m currently looking at a life at sea instead ? have seen a nice steel trawler type set up for onboard living but the silly old fart comments are probably directing me to a houseboat on the Murray as a more sensible alternative.

    Neither does Victoria. Most of my clients would be in unregistered vehicles if they had to get annualRWC.

    Time for everyone to get their clubs to write to their local Members supporting this sensible approach to PM and Premiers. kaz

    Dont get me started about Murray-Goulburn!

    I think you just need to take a quick look at FR to see the surprisingly large number of GA aircraft in the air. I can’t see why the large flying schools with overseas students can fly around with impunity when all the rest of us is grounded for fear of offending the law or neighbours or anyone else. perhaps RAAus will support the push from AOPA to allow single pilot ops, at least for reasonable maintenance purposes.

    Even in these difficult times, a little initiative (with support by the regulator) has allowed GA pilots in the UK to contribute their skills for the national interest. https://www.pilotweb.aero/news/new-delivery-service-for-nhs-supplies-1-6607065

    A little hard to prove your loss I would think.

    I dunno. I had several Holdens including a very nice HJ(?) two door SLE with baby V8 and auto, and a very nice SLX Torana Hatchback with the 308 and 4/speed and they just kept on going. My last car, a BMW 318ti coupe cost me heaps and stoppEd on the HUme twice! Lovely to drive but needed a trailer to cart the bank around behind it.

    Not me... I don’t like heights. But later model Spitfires climbed past 40000 with just oxygen for the pilot (and lots of pullovers). Some of the PR flights were pressurised towards the end but the lids were screwed down which didn’t do much if you needed to abandon ship.

    But they were good drills! And the shoes lasted for years.

    You obviously want to be removed. Your reference to Weston Price (a dentist who died not long after I was born) puts your research back in the time when they were still studying skulls to gauge intelligence. being able to find and understand true scientific research requires something more than google and a closed mind.

    That’s very nicely done.

    15 years of representing that cohort in the courts utilising a therapeutic jurisprudence approach based on extensive research here and across the world, authorship of multiple submissions to governments, and lived experience amongst other things.

    Oxford continue to fly. Not much else happening In Vic.

    You can also see if your stock have been panicked into rushing a boundary fence into your neighbour’s property, see wheel tracks in places they oughtn't be, and pick up on ferals and dog activity.

    Its the difference between the fines that can be imposed by a court and the “fines” under an infringement notice.

    Best wishes to you and your mates in the West, Pots. It makes you think, alright kaz

    Sorry Nev i saw your posts just after sending mine. I must say a nicely executed wheeler looks nice to everybody. A nicely executed TW landing is doing it like it ought be done. ?
  22. kaz3g
    The best tricyclists are those who land with and hold the nose off the ground until they have slowed. Too many 3 point then relax and end up with forward elevator pressure with potential to wheelbarrow.

    Hi SP Ag pilots are a breed apart and yes, a Beaver wheels well as does a Pawnee. And a wheeler gives you a better view of the site of the crash ? A wheeler may also be a better choice in a cross-wind. But I respectfully disagree that a wheel landing (where the aircraft is still flying at the point of touching) takes no more ground than a properly stalled 3 pointer. The older TW stuff, like mine, was designed to fly out of pretty rough paddocks and landing 3 point put you down at the slowest speed possible, sometimes with nose very high and significant rpm.

    In smaller TW aircraft the most common technique is to 3 point. Moths, Tigers, Austers, Spitfires, Hurricanes for example. All Navy TW aircraft also used this method. It gives the best STOL result (and allows pilot to pick up a wire with the hook If deck landing). Larger TW such as bombers did wheelers in a fashion, generally tail down and the venerable DC3 also as I had the excitement to experience nearly 70 years ago. Yes, I know the C180 brigade and those that fly some of the newer types do wheelers, and some of the air show types too, but they need a lot of good runway comparatively speaking.

    Business as usual at Mangalore...lots of them doing touch and goes at Shepp.
