    You recon the good new days are getting better and better? Electronic mag.. as I am told it is a two page thing on a tablet. State representatives be in a cluster.. I will not go any further or I will incriminate myself. Regards,KP.

    An area rep has to get about their region. I am in the Southern Qld section and only have seen one of the southern boys up here. The Nth.Qld rep used to be here all the time he was aware of the members needs. How can they get to know in which direction they need to stear RAAus? I here:- phone, OK.. Most people I talk to on a phone they sound like they are up a hollow log with a mouth full of marbles, "Can not hold a decent conversation" Ya give up. There are people who do not come forward, we only get information from them on prompting, normally it is good information coming from these people. Can not use a useless phone here got to be face to face. Remember these board members are supposed to be guiding RAAus to the future. For the Qld people who go to Old Station imagine the Victorians getting themselves there. Never see them.. Remember the board members are supposed to be looking for direction from the members. I read with interest kasper's point regarding the electronic mag. "Got to zoom in and wonder about". Come on be reasonable, that would give me the chitz. I get the paper mag. still. We get told the mag is a good form of communication. Regards, KP.

    This re-write of the constitution has gone quiet.. I wonder why.. I think it is what the board is after.. Could be some nasty stuff sneaking through.. Hope I am wrong needs checking on with a fine tooth comb.. What is tabled is one thing and the real thing is waiting in the wind somewhere.. Remember it is a member based organisation, not full of paid directors. Regards, KP.

    No retaliatory action...

    "They" have names :- Find out who authorised what? Who provided what to CASA? Go to the top that includes the minister and his advisors, yep go through the RAAus office. If anyone does that I thing there will be a lot of scrambling for cover, as there are a lot hiding behind organisation banners and we are not getting the truth. As I said in another post "retaliatory action". Regards,KP.
  8. Keith Page
    Have you ever looked further into this situation or moved the scenario about endeavouring to discover something different. This new "New CASA tactic", have you considered it may be a retaliatory action on their behalf. Regards,KP.

    So Oscar, What you are saying there :- All RAAus aircraft should have restrictions put on them by Casa as all the engines they use stop. I have a big problem with singling Jabiru, as people will get the idea all other engines will not stop. Regards, KP.

    A safety tribute to Major............ I can remember Major giving some good advice, "Do not use them". No negotiating. Reason:- They catch fire and can not be extinguished.. He even went as far as trying to get RAAus to disallow the use of these batteries.. Last I heard he was not having much luck with RAAus management regarding this issue. As usual he had all his evidence in order.. Regards, KP.

    Come F_T get your facts correct.. Electrical goods is only using Dick's name. Dick Smith food is still hitting runs. Regards KP.

    Well put Frank, you let your trusted friends know what you call yourself and give them the pass word.. Regards, KP.

    F_T ...That is good to see that your airport is starting to take off. I think you are foxing us, just to keep us all away from the airport. Best thing which has happened in Toowoomba for ages. Regards, KP.

    Engine are a bit like a chain. The chain is only as strong as its weakest link. An engine is old as strong as its weakest component.. Hence if the weakest component is modified then another component will take over, with engines there is another set of situations arise when there is a component modification other reliable parts start having turns of failing.. So quite often it is better to stay with the devil you know and manage it and be kind to it. I have seen Cat D11Rs killed and they are boys proof, so there are people who can brake an anvil with only their hands. Regards, KP

    There is very interesting view here - looks to me if one has a *Rotax * Camit or something else they will hot have engine failures, the only problem is with Jabiru. I thought all engines have loss of power or failure not just Jabiru. With a mind set like this there could be a false sense of security developing for all the non Jabiru powered aircraft. Regards KP.

    Russ, It is so true when one needs action all the warriors find excuses to go slow. A lot of people say how good Camit engines are for me --- for them to get over the final hurdle there needs to more engines about with more time on the clock. The old saying the grass is always greener over the fence. I do have a lot of sympathy for Jabiru regarding their engines. These engine failures I believe it is not all Jab engine problem. Just me I have heard of two which was caused by incorrect oil (1) Had auto oil (2) Some beaut oil additive when the investigation was done made for Diesel engines. The other goody, how many fiddle with the engine and think they are experts. Bit different to the old Holdens, Falcons, Valiants. The way things are at the moment I would not be game to bolt a Camit up front. Regards, KP

    Hello Yenn, Good to see you out there doing positive things.. Peace aviation in Rocky have a 24 reg Jab they train in it .. those people get RAAus certificates. You see two graduated students at our monthly brekkies. CDFG is a club at Thangool we have the brekkies once a month.. Come along to some brekkies when one is there one can arrange some instructional flights. CDFG is having its biannual fly in on the 22-24 July. That so is my little bit. Regards, KP.

    Yes "Interpreptation", could be raferty's???? Regards, KP.

    Good to hear shags_j that you have twigged on. That was my original intention with this thread was to get the RAAus members have a read of the draft constitution. As you have pointed out in another thread you have read it for them, I want the people to have their own read and see the discrepancies for themselves, so no one can blame me for making it up. The other point with the draft constitution to me it looks like their is some self interest in certain areas. (That why I think some points are ambiguous). Hence my reason for being adamant about state representation. Regards, KP.

    F_T ...With all this criticism and you mean to say you are not a member, so why are criticising? Really what the situation is you have your nose stuck in someone else's business. Regards, KP.
  22. Keith Page
    Can't you find something positive? Regards, KP.
  23. Keith Page
    Has CAMit engines got air hours on them yet? We need hours to get a comparison. Regards, KP.
  24. Keith Page
    but F_T that is all export dollars and the only way is up. In the trade game every journey starts with a small step, just wonder where it all will end up. Regards, KP.

    Hello All I am home from my tour of duty and working from the I-Pad. I-Pads are good but they fall short on some tasks. This constitution is important and we all need to have a read and all have our 2 bobs worth in the mix. Does not concern me as to which side of the fence you are on just need to have an educated decision when it comes to voting time because no one can whinge if they did not vote or form a view. Have all the fact clear in ones mind, not in a convoluted form from some other person pushing their wheel barrow full of hidden agendas. Andy I will address your interpretations over the week end. Regard, KP.
