    At it stands at the moment, that is correct. However under the banner of education, development and advancement of aviation formulate a proposal to Wagners so how one goes. Wagners have proved that they think ahead a bit regarding aviation in Australia, so have a think about the education aspect. Where are the colleges? Regards KP.

    I will re-ignite this old thread. A while back there was a lot of talk about RAAus relocating to somewhere, why not Wellcamp. I was thinking Wellcamp would be good *Open spaces about the airport *Big pool of people for staff * Real estate not expensive *There is room to put some hangers up * RPT, light aircraft will full stop and then it is a walk direct to the office. Looks like all that will fit very well. Regards KP.

    Good on you Frank keep the side up. I nearly fell off the seat that is water on the ground. Thank You. Regards KP.

    The RAAF change them out in the middle of a desert, can not see Wellcamp being a problem. With your IT skills you can design the Risk Assessment/SOP regarding removal and replacement of an engine at the Wellcamp Airport. There is a job for you F_T, you know we get well paid for those tasks. Regards KP.

    Thanks for the correction F_T.. Regarding "China can't afford":- Well could it be? The aircraft is *China owned *China made *China maintained *China fuelled *China pilots -------- you know that will lower the prices and China has everything in house, only landing fees at Wellcamp. Then it must be baby formula to China?????????????. Regards KP.

    There is plenty of room to build a maintenance hanger. Regards KP.

    Good Afternoon I am after some advice here. Gina is going to buy a big dairy farm and it is in the South East corner only in the planning stage at the moment. I think she is on to this fresh milk thing to China. Just wondering if you are in the loop regarding Gina's export milk? Regards KP

    Hello rankamateur See on this thread -- There is mention of cost of the gear box overhaul. The overhaul interval looks like it has wheels on it, because the time is bit like an auction "Keeps on going up". We started 200 or 300hours now it is at 1000hours just wonder what is the true value. The other question, "How often are the hoses changed out and how much do these hoses cost." The original Rotax engine cost plus all these bits and pieces compared to the cost of the Jab engine, looks like there is a fairly even race. Regards KP.

    Good Morning 01rmb Very good points more of us should take this medical thing on board as a lot of us could get grounded and the only fun we will have --- pushing a wheel barrow for the rest of our lives. As this everyone thread is on to statistics:- How many incidents have been attributed to?? " unhealthy people with dodgy tickers. Another interesting point those with "dodgy tickers" are heavily monitored that is -- they have thorough examinations on a very regular basis just to monitor/identify looming problems and when identified immediate remedial action can be commenced. It is the people who are not monitored just wandering about thinking all is OK and not aware of what is sneaking up on them, these pore folk do not get a lot of warning. Regards KP.

    Hello Bex Regarding the Rotax and how reliable it is --- you were the first to mention the gear box issues. I would like the know the cost of running a Rotax. It is all through away when it reaches its time. Here is one of the issues -- the initial cost of a Jab is far less than a Rotax. So more people can afford the less expensive item. Is it a case of save money and lets have a punt?? Regards KP.

    Belzona or Devcon are a bit useful too. Regards KP.

    Thank you motz.... all is OK ......I am doing some baiting......If only all knew. KP..

    OK......T_B Just one story would be OK.. Not on for them one for me. I could copy and paste it here for all to see.. You still have not answered the questions and the forum members are waiting with baited breath as to your answers. We all know your are not a member BUT that drifter on your avatar raises a question or two. Regards KP.

    """""""""""Hope he comes out with some good direction."""" OK Maj Who is steering the CASA boat now? McCormick I do believe he left in August, he was kept back till the Forsyth enquired was completed, that is completed. The sad thing "recommendations" they are only recommendations not governing principals so CASA can choose to ignore a recommendation. The minister has got to do something as yet he is not even excited. Regards KP.

    Hello F_T I am at a loss what you are trying to say this is in regard to the post you deleted, "I received it you know". You went on and mentioned RAAus technical certificates are not worth the paper they are written on. O.K. Seeing you have a lot opinions... What should we do about the issue? I did mention:- that under your own admission that you are not a member. However I am still wondering what you are flying? With * non-member* not flying, what is the big case for you having o much input when you are not committing aviation. Regards KP
  17. Keith Page
    Hello F_T Your case ---- you will not be a bother as you are not a member. However what do you fly these days? Waiting for an answer. Regards KP.

    Good afternoon Turbo "big claims":- the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. The other goodie is "The devil you know is better than the devil you do not know". The whole event is full of emotion, bias, arm chair experts and urban myths how can one get a clear view. "What has been proved" in real terms hanger chat and pub gossip. Regards KP.

    Good Morning F_T, It has been highlighted that you are a non-member of the RAAus organisation. If that is the case are you a no flyer as well? If you are correct you are going to have a lot of mates. I can not see why the aviation industry is a big concern to you when you are not a member and do not fly. I can not see why it is all a big deal for you. Regards Keith Page.

    What are you thinking? Could be? Could not it. A very good pick up. Regards KP.

    Turbo that is a very polite way of expressing how they stuck there. KP.

    Yes reggie, There are those who tweak the fuel burn down and horse power up. That equates to extremely lean fuel mixture -- with lean fuel well every thing burns in the head. I would dearly like to know more about these fuel burns ---- when one quizzes about the carby tampering " oh! no one does that" like "no one tampers with the exhaust". To put in simplistic terms:- There is a given amount of fuel needed to develop a given horse power to move a given weight a given distance. It is a good rule of thumb ---- what hp you have, you will know roughly what fuel burn you have. (2strokes exempts) ---- or what fuel you have you should roughly know your hp. (2strokes exempts) Equated by:- one fifth litre of fuel per h.p. per hr.. That is at cruise. Good rule of thumb. (2strokes exempts) That equation or little on the rich side is a good place to be. To nut this Jab engine problem we need more information on fuels. Are the mogas fuels the same blend always? As I see the situation the 98 is the most stable however I am up for correction. Regards KP

    gandalph. "reset your direction":- you know the times when ones spends so much effort and energy explaining and demonstrating which is the correct direction and instead the people are looking for holes in the explanation instead of interpreting what one is saying. This is when we go for a regroup to think of a way how to explain to the mob so they can clearly understand what one is telling the gang. Normally happen when the mob is putting more effort into finding the holes than interpreting what is said. Hope this explains enough for you. Regards KP.

    After the wacking ......There would be ultimatums put place and there would be compliance.. Or else.. Flick yourself around to the marketing aspect, if the ultimatums are not executed there will be no bragging of complying with the altimatium. What a good marketing ploy to say all the ultimatums are complied with. Regards KP.

    Come on Dafydd we need you,, get yourself a good cuppa and regroup your thoughts and return with a new vigor. I know the fealing when we think we are just head butting the wall and getting no where because the world is full of turkeys. Reset your direction and come back refreshed. Regards KP.
