  1. The inconsistencies in the Jabiru issue should set all alarm bells ringing. Just a little think will fit the jigsaw together not a truck load of sustistics. GA and RAA are two different critters and the Jab engine can not ever be compared with the continentals and Lycomings. The last paragraph of post 595 from Jab-who has a lot going for it. Regards. KP.
  2. Old Koreelah.. I hope he escapes it. He is a decent person. There are some grubs about who need rapping they are hiding behind some banners when they are exposed they need to named in every news paper in Australia. Regardless of their standing in the community, named. KP.
  3. Jaba-who, The RAA data to CASA is the only difference I have with your summary. The rest you get 100%. Yes the competitors making a noise and they were listened to. It is going to be very interesting when the mess is sorted and who is going to hung out to dry. We will be surprised who is going to be dried. Barry O'Sullivan is not going to give up till those people are exposed and they need to be. Jabiru is an Australian business and needs to be helped. There is some much moaning about foreign buy outs in Australia. Regards, KP.
  4. I would love to be that fly. It is obvious that Barry O'Sullivan is well briefed and educated regarding the subject. CASA are trying to get out of the situation without revealing the main source of the information. Regards, KP.
  5. I think you are not to far off the money,"Not going well for CASA". I would like to see a transcript. My question, how come CASA acted of the Jab engine and now they do not know what is wrong with the engine? That was revealed in that last recorded government enquiry. If one acts on something one knows what is exactly what is wrong.. Or did they go off half cocked on someone else's advice.???? For my way of reasoning RAA is involved with this saga as well. When the director was asked, What is the source of your information? The director answered :- ATSB, RAA and our enquires. "Our enquires":- that information would have come from RAA not hard to work that one out. Regards KP.
  6. They are special Doug I get all my tyres from there. I must be easy pleased as I am always happy with them. KP.
  7. Inclusion on equal terms will do. I just do want to see them ignored. KP.
  8. Andy however the constitution must show sympathy to the rag and tube sector because that is only what some members wish to participate with. Regards KP.
  9. DWF That is a very good point there has to be a mentioned consideration to members as it is a member based organisation. Continued learning is a very good area to consider as the continued learning aspect is a requirement for a number of professional organisations to keep ones registration current. Regards, KP.
  10. You missed it Turbo need to go back quite a bit to safety training. All organisations are out there doing safety training till the cows come home. What is "safety training."? Now it would be better to train "safety culture"? People will resent safety after safety, develop a culture and they will take that on board. Regards, KP.
  11. At the end of the day CASA has to be obedient to the minister and his bureaucrats.. RAAus is there with CASA's blessings. Just look at the debacle over the Jabiru engines who dobbed who in. When that is sorted out we will move on. For some good listen get that recording of Senator Barry O'Sullivan quizzing the CASA director. Barry knows the answers and they would not come clean. Regards, KP
  12. Yep.. QUANGO..
  13. Hello Turbo, Just a matter of interest, for want of a better description or interpretation. CASA is a board which has been given the duty of administering aviation in Australia. This is done by way of a government act. So CASA is a board with all it warts, bumps with its top heavy bureaucracy. Regards, KP
  14. Do not go Frank we need you. You used to handle more mud than that. Look you survived. Regards, KP.
  15. You mentioned you are flabbergasted --- just stand back forget about your small group who brought change and have a look at what is happening. When you are scanning your eyes about present yourself a an every day normal member. Have to be a case of what are they realy asking for not a case of that/this will do them. I have a letter from the President of which I will answer and the concerns are there hence the board will get to know my thoughts. Regards KP.
  16. I am back from my tour of duty. So now I have get an understanding of what has been said in last pile of posts. I see Don giving me some stick, nothing new. Just to start.. A board member must have vision of where RAAus has to go. To be successful for vision, tertiary qualification are not necessarily an asset. Will have a read and add my bits. Regards, KP.
  17. Thank you Turbo. You forgave me. KP.
  18. As I believe what is correct, you are not to far off the money. You mentioned RAAus that is correct. The RAAus/CASA people their roll in this issue, they were told to take the baton because it was their job. One tried to run away from the baton knowing full well what was going to happen, but upstairs had clout. As I see it, the vindictive people are with in RAAus they could have stopped it but they kept on pestering. Now. What a mess to clean up.. There is a CASA safety thing in Townsville next week something may happen. Regards, KP.
  19. Re-post it. See how we go. I will keep an eye out for it. KP.
  20. I hate IPads. Life is supposed to be easier with these know all I -Pads with their auto correct. The last phrase is:- Not a police state. Sorry about that, had to be corrected or turbo would rip strips off me. Regards, KP.
  21. It is something else, RAAus is supposed to be a members organisation as it stands here ....it is a select few board members and selected staff and there is the RAAus. No members organisation. Regards, KP.
  22. That is my case, it is an organisation for select board members and selected staff. That is what Maj eluded to on many occasions. It is forgotten that RAAus is a member based organisation. Not Alice state. Regards, KP.
  23. As I have said many times RAAus acts as small police force. Case one, look how they are handling the Jabiru issue we get told how diligent they are and looking after the members interests. No. How the tech. department are acting looks like they are a mini CASA. Read in the last Sports Pilot the presidents report, as I interpret the report this constitution is angling at paying a smaller board. Have a read, make your own decision, played my card. We have to be very careful with this new constitution or RAAus will be gone for ever. We get told how wonderful it is but only for a few. Needs to be sympathetic to the members. I would like to know what deskpilot wrote. Must have been a sensitive issue. Regards, KP
  24. Hello All, The Thangool fly in is on again. 22-24th July you will get more details as the post gathers speed. I thought I had started a post however it was only an entry in the events calendar. This year the races are involved with the fly in hence there is an extra activity instead of just sitting about and talking planes. Regards, KP.
  25. Yes there is one this year 22-24th July 2016.. I have started a post for it somewhere here -- seeing you have mentioned it I will repost it.. You have to go along. The Thangool races are mixed up in the activities as well so there will be things to do or just have a small beverage and brag planes. Regards, KP.
