    Re.the Data; why don't you talk to CASA and find out who gave it to them and why? Very good point Turbo. Would be a very good job for Tony Fitzgerald get his teeth into. I think we all will be surprised who will be flushed out of the wood work. Regards, KP.

    Hello Turbo, In a nut shell --- CASA has been given the duty of managing/overseeing the regulation/management of all things aviation this duty has been given to CASA by an act of parliament. For want of a better term CASA is a government board. That is about it in simplistic view. Regards, KP.

    Col who is cleaning the hollow logs out now.. As I see the situation was a good idea to have some savings in hollow logs.. I see Don asked why such a big surplus of yesteryear it is looming to be a case of a blessing in disguise. Regards, KP.

    Come Andy, Technically membership.. I would really like to see your working on those sums... Remove the magazine from our membership subscription and have us pay for it as a a seperate item as it used to included in our membership. Average all that out what is the technical percentage increase of our membership?? Regards, KP.

    Hello asmol, I am back from my tour of duties. I have read this thread with great interest.. Now that all camps have had their say and Maj has defended all the people in question... Usually in these situations the truth is usually located some where in the middle of all the smoke. When there is smoke there is a lot of heat or fire somewhere as in this case. An honest enquiry will get the answers for the members.. Regards KP.

    GG.. I would dearly love to have a look how the money is spent.. We here so much how the board of yesteryear operated, just imagine the mess at this time if they did not plan for a surplus.. The other big thing RAAus owns the Canberra office owns 100% of it. The stories do not fit for me as I only hear blame games and things are so wonderful with a new board. The surplus is being eroding away and technically membership has increased by 30%. Andy's addition even next year will be a loss.. So let the blame games continue and the experts expouse their views. Regards, KP.

    Remember Don it is a members organisation, not an Executives /CEO's organisation to me that looks very much the case at the moment. Some of these hard working board members are ignored. IMO from sitting on side line an analysing the manoeuvring. Regards, KP

    Oscar.. I know we communicate on digital I know that networking is Face to Face =(FTF).. However someone up the management tree thinks a computer screen is far superior to a magazine, so to highlight that point. We are paying for a mag is a de facto membership rise, exactly the same as these pollies we have now, when we hear --- there will be no increase in tax but the increase has a different name ...... Ok! Still an increase that does make an iota of difference still an increase. I must mention again Oscar ------ RAAus is member's organisation so when members have things going against their wishes trouble brews. Magazine:- To me there was not enough looking into alternatives, it was just a modern mind set "Digital" and this what we got. Regards, KP.

    Ozzie the South Africans will get the red tea out - try it and you will be hooked, I drink it now. Those old yellow and black busses they never stop. Have you tried the John Deer trains? They move loads of people too. The international pilots dinner that is not to be missed as well. Regards, KP.

    Who ever is at Oshkosh... Keep your eyes pealed for a D-Motor.. The six should be out. It is high torque slow revving just perfect for direct drive to prop. Fluid cooled hence no snap cooling after a slow hard climb. Regards KP

    Roscoe go to the aeromart that is the place for bargains, you do not have to buy everything just look through there is some good value things hiding under something.. One good one Cessna aerials $40.. I have to add - things are good for home builds as there are no release notes. Go AN hardware places bolts about third price we have to pay in Aus. When you bring your goodies back through Aus customs they are "Samples" as you will not have commercial quantities of anything. Regards KP.

    Poor old Oshkosh has its share of accidents every year, we do not hear about them all the time. Regards KP.

    You can get all the learnings on the Internet, just like we get the magazine. Hence no need to fly to Oshkosh. Regards, KP.

    Well Gnarly Gnu I would dearly like to get hold of the truth behind the jab issue. As the situation presents to me it is far from what we are told. Other words there are a lot of porkies being told, but proving it because some people are committed to secrecy. Getting someone to brake the ranks and talk that is another story. Regards, KP

    Old Koreelah, Part true ---- there are those who stick it to the authorities plus they know how far they can go before they are in deep trouble, well when that bunch are woken up it is hard work to control them as they will generate trouble in mass and they do not give up. Hence it is better to generate a culture of which they want to be part of. Regards KP.

    Hello Roundsounds, Rules and threat just cause agrivation and generally develop more deviant behaviour. As I have yelled and cooed before training which develop a "Good Culture" not rules, is the go. Well developed good culture goes viral and is handed about free of charge. Regards, KP.

    Good on you kasper. Do not call it niggles the member's views must get out there and be expressed, how else can any one know. Those little tricks have to highlighted, remember Lawsey got into a lot of trouble for:- "Cash for Comment". Remember it is a member's organisation.... Regards KP.

    Good Morning Andy, The big question, Why is the magazine completely outsourced? There is the humungous cost, because the publisher has upsold the whole magazine deal, glossy paper all the way through the magazine. As I believe it -- there was only the cover to have the upgraded glossy heavy paper and rest of the magazine the less expensive printing and paper. Still does not get away from the fact that there was not a far less expensive option investigated and that is not digital. Regarding the change of letters the editor is still getting back to me that is over two years ago. I did call the office and the usual thing who ever you want to speak to is out or busy, "As soon as they get back to office I will get them to call you." These day I hardly leave a message but keep trying till I get the person I wish to speak to. Maj ----- You picked on one magazine to demonstrate your point -- now to average the articles go back through a additions of the mag and see what you get. What I see a lot of is "drum beating".. Regards KP.
