Yep. Years ago, while working for a reasonably large company, I hired a contractor to do some work which he didn’t do. When we refused to pay his invoice, he issued a winding up notice on the company. Needless to say, he didn’t get very far… 99% of winding up notices are meaningless. 🙄

Who know what changes CTA access will bring, but for OCTA, group G is the same as group A as far as medical is concerned - just self declared.

The stall will occur if the actuator can’t reach the limit switch for some reason (eg too much load).

I bought tefzel wire recently from a performance vehicle supplier (Performance Motorsports) on eBay. Cheaper, but no guarantee that suppliers there will have the size/colour/length that you want.

It amuses me to think of how ‘slapped together’ the final result would be to do it in 400h. No deburring, no corrosion protection, no checking, no good. 🫤

How to get depressed quickly. In the latest Kitplanes magazine annual roundup of kits, the ‘beginner’ build time for a Ventura is listed as 400 hours. I’m up to 380 and I’ve only just started on the fuselage… 🫣 p.s. I’m not really bothered; I just found it amusing. I know I like to take things slowly, but there’s no way a beginner is going to get anywhere near finished in 400 hours!

Is it possible that the POH is in miles per hour, not knots? Regardless, contact the factory directly. They’ll sort it quickly.

Congratulations!

I’ve got a Victa 72V mower and edger. About 5 years old now and going fine. Good wide cut (unlike the 18V Ryobi one my son was given which is absolute rubbish), and much lighter and quieter than my old 4 stroke. However, now that I have 1500 sq m of very fast growing kikuyu to mow, I got an electric Toro ride-on about a year ago. I can’t see me ever going back to petrol.

First time I had to drive on the ‘wrong’ side of the road, I kept trying to change gears with the door handle. It’s surprising, though, how quickly you switch.

My beloved gets to choose our car colours, and her choice is normally red. However, her current car is white because she hated the ugly dark reds that seem to be the only option these days. Definitely a vote for nice bright fire engine red!

I used to use the foldable ones (no longer have them, sold with our plane). Never took them up when loaded, but really handy for getting fuel when away from home as they take diddly-squat space in the luggage area when empty. However, do check that you’ve tightened the cap properly before carrying them (full) I someone else’s car! I think my daughter has forgiven me… 🫣

Only time I’ve flown into Milawa (long time ago, so may have changed), I had to get written permission in advance.
