    Here is a good chance to vote correctly, to start a "stop" all this indecision. Now cherish this opportunity. KP.

    Oh! What folly. I still sit in wonder the noise of yesteryear, the old board was running with poor governance. Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.. So was is this voting exercise? I say it is a case of poor governance, governed by "Rafferty's Rules". Look at Kaspers dilemma regarding the Tech. issues, really shows the Tech. Manual's/Tech.manager's disregard for the members wishes. (None) KP.

    How does sending the 503 to the US and getting it returned -- compared with a new 582 from Bert Flood. Will the 582 be too big for the transplant.? KP.

    I read this thread with great interest. I would like to know some facts - because a great deal of truth is missing. I do like Frank's comments as those comments would be factual as he was on the board when all the manoeuvring was happening. Frank is telling the truth. All the snippets about the place as how the 800 yes votes were collected -- the truth would be good to know, how this was done and by who. The other goodie is as I understand from readings -- Spencer Ferrier was the designer and engineer of the new structure of RAAus. Is this quite honest as he was on the board AOPA at the time? As I see the situation this will fit into conflict of interest. KP.

    Good one Bill..... mmmmmmmm......... that CV bit could be Oh! so true. Nothing to do with s.a.f.e.t.y will come out of something like that.??????? I know I have been banging on about the practical aspect to no avail. I hear Katie has moved on, wonder why?? KP.

    Hello ClintonB, I wonder is it all AustPost to blame? When were the mags given to AustPost to distribute? AustPost can not deliver mags if they are sitting in an office. KP

    Frank I think there could be a protest vote coming up, how large is yet to be seen. Basically a yell from the anti mates brigade. KP

    Commercial operations money has to change hands. Regarding weight there are those we fly about indoors and there are the spy ones which are silent and big as a large grass hopper. Now for the weight categories there are those which are the very small ones to the large commercial ones and there are those in the middle, CASA is not 100% sure how to manage them -- yes CASA come out with information but this information contradicts its self so what hope have we. Regarding Pauline's issue - the bush barristers have grabbed the story as if the drone is operating for a commercial activity. I ask -- who weighted Pauline's drone? None of them have given us its weight. KP

    After all that I would look about Europe, UK.. Just a long shot South Africa. KP

    winsor68.. What is the weight of that drone you have in mind? The governing factor for the activities for these drones is their weight. Every one here -- is speaking as one size fits all. Far from what is the elective operating parameters. KP

    What is correct weight of that quad copter? Do you all realise, weight is the governing factor of the operating parameters of a quad copter. Till the correct weight is established no one can comment with an accurate view. Too me it looked small. KP

    Not hard to find a cure for a lot of problems. I think the action would be a bit like pruning citrus trees that is *dead wood *water shoots *non producing branches. The last I looked -- AOPA is not included in the committee and no mention of the crop dusters, so how can that be a very good cross section of aviation industry. KP

    Thank you Frank, he will be fat and shiny he comes back from that holiday. KP.

    You have me lost there Wally.. I have 230 Jab -- cruise 120 knot -- fuel burn 20 litres an hour. I do enjoy discussing these facts with the Cessna brigade. What is the fuel burn of the Lancair? I know I have to consider fuel usage for economic reasons. KP.

    The oil does a lot of internal cooling, hence the short life of the oil. OR.. It should be changed regularly. KP.

    People dream eh Turbo? How could anyone think about it in the first place. I do think that what testing is all about, "never to be bypassed". KP.

    Hello Oscar, elon #11 claims it is a Camit engine. KP.
  18. Keith Page
    Just a curly one ------ Seeing it is a Camit how is the engine going to be repaired? KP

    Do not know how far up to speed you are.. Evening meal is a buffet as well.. The other get a weekly bus ticket then you can travel backwards and forwards to the grounds when ever you wish.. e.g.. If you have a big morning shopping you can bring all your goodies back to your room save lugging them about for the rest of the day. KP.

    Come you are being kind saying cold.. Freezing is the better definition. In the mornings that white stuff on top of the wings is not dust. KP

    Have a sleep study performed.. Those symptoms sound very familiar. KP

    Thank you gandalph, yes the structure is very different. The other point by being a company with clients, there is inference that we are going to make a lot of money, answer is no. My aim is let it be affordable flying. I can not see where the big profits are coming from, some one has a BIG crystal ball. The other point I have to make - In aviation the only way to make a small fortune is start with a big fortune. KP

    Hello Sue, The post #44 was a bit caustic. However I hasten to advise you that this is a free world and you do not have to join up with ELAAA your choice. You can stay at RAAus your choice. You know it is a free world and I am a member of RAAus and I am entitled to make comment on the RAAus direction, obvious the comments must be not in your liking. I could moan about the comments you levelled at me however I will just step aside and let it go through to the keeper. I can not see what all this noise and fuss is about. KP.

    Hello Sue, How up front is saying what the fee increases will be, as you are of the accounting ilk the inflation factor must be added in annually if not the business goes backwards. For the Tech and Opp manuals they are in being assessed as we type away. I believe it is not prudent business to have information out during the formulation stage. Sue you may have another view regarding that strategy. We are not operating hence no need for the Tech and Opp to be out. Our structure is not member based so the why do we need to share our planning to all and sundry out in the free market world? KP.

    Mick I am aware of all what you are saying. However as I am a member of RAAus I am entitle to express my view. What other activities I am involved with will not prevent me from expressing a view and pointing out the flaws and arrangements of structures, some people take this advice on board however other interpret it as negative posting as you have suggested. As I do not broadcast all my activities I will hasten to advise you we are currently addressing the points you made above, thank you for suggesting what we should do. KP
