These arguments are petty from a rigged committee set up by Cori Bernadi . The the one that said says'same sex marriage leads to beastiality. And naturally each area manager is a different person. I would be much more concerned of the food regulator which is a run by the maufacturers and dictates what is allowed. They not the government or us, what they can put in food. It can be nano particles now and they want GMO next and for it not be labelled as such. That is something to actually be concerned by.

Ah, Only 50? They did have a hell of a lot of farmers screaming blue murder- that is the only reason. Farmers are LNP diehards normally, many said no more votes to LNP. And Barnaby's seat is in jepardy with with the much loved independant threatening to come back.

And we are still doing it. Native title has been extinguished over the Adani mine site- the first time it has happened to aid a private company. Barstards changed the law to screw the rights of the real Aussies. And the pace of native title is a scam- 80 years until they expect all current cases will be finalised. Maybe they just want them to all die out first.

Nev, Women must love a challenge- or they would never bother with us at all

The only thing feeding prejudice can give you is hollow heart and a stomach filled with bile.

Yep, such a rip off, and now Baird is going to give them $250,000,000 to compete in a normal market as Uber comes in. And the consumer also pays a $1 per ride as a bullshite tax to ride in this new cheaper market. After years of the taxi plate cartel we have to pay the buggars for a fair go. And those LNP guys are always the best with economics........ for their mates

And it begs the question, if he thinks Maccas is food he should not fly.

Last night my bro,a psych nurse, threw two blokes out of the hospital for been agressive pricks. They threatened to come back and do him in. Police were called to remove them and the cops asked was he worried about the threats- He replied- "Mate what can they do- I have a ex wife"

Upon seeing Rudolf's head explode, all the other reindeer worked extra hard to ensure they survived. Especially the Blitzen. He remembered last time Santa got on the piss and got cranky- it was not pretty.

Is he still breathing?

Those little Ford engines are very good from all accounts. Designed with Cosworth- they know a bit about engines. Bike engine wise- I would go the BMW twin, proven and popular in Europe. Not too heavy and not too expensive.

Rick, I agree with getting your facts straight, that is always important and we should all strive for accuracy. But I do take umbrage at "been qualified" to speak or discuss matters. No one and I mean no one on this planet has qualifications to speak on any subject by your requirement- unless you are a proven qualified expert in that field. No one can possible be a expert in all matters. I am not a lawyer- does that mean I should never discuss law? We are a friendly website for people of similar interests ie aviation, and plenty of other excursions of a non aviation manner. Our opinions will be diverse as they should be. Some will be better informed than others.

As per usual the insurance companies will happily take your money- they just will never pay a claim or make the excess 95% of the value of the policy.

And do mention that a Rec aircraft costs no more to rego each year than a fishing boat and trailer.

It was Christmas eve and Santa was getting ready for his flight operations He checked his load was all secure Checked his weight and balance Checked that all reindeer were healthy, full of fuel and had no leaks and properly secured to the airframe. He walks back inside and gives Mrs Claus a big kiss and cuddle, grabs his flight bag and walks out to his sled. Suddenly he notices some bugger with a clip board and CASA on his shirt. The inspector explains he is doing a ramp check and needs to see his log book and permit. Santa starts to sweat and hands over the documents. Mr CASA looks over Santa's check list, weight and balance calculations, log book and permits. He checks over the aircraft, feels the undercarriage of the reindeer and seems satisfied. But then says "I am sorry mate you can not fly until you have your BFR" Bugger exclaims Santa, the kids will be spewing. Mr Casa looks at him, sees his distress and says " look how about we do a short flight around the Arctic circuit and if you skills are current I can sign you off" Santa with great relief agrees and they climb in. Santa does his taxiway checks and rumbles down the runway, and gently takes off under full deer power then starts to climb. He looks across at the inspector and sees a sly grin on his face and thinks cool, I am going to nail this review. All of a sudden Santa hears a large bang and Rudolfs head is blown clean off and the sled is covered in brain matter and blood. He turns to see the inspector has a shotgun and a huge grin on his face and screams- " What the f..k did you do that for" Mr Casa calmly states " Engine failure after Take off"

And the Saudi's are apparently funding ISIS as well. The violent Wahabbi sect of Islam was a invention by the Saud family and a gut called Wahabbi in the 1730's as a means of taking control of the area. It really took root after WW1 and they have openly used oil wealth ever since to fund its spread around the world. Don't forget that the twin towers attack was by mainly Saudi's. But they got a free ride and Afghanistan and then Iraq copped it.

NO quite obviously If you are cuddling the man next to you- you are not safe to cross

Worrying about a bolt leaving your engine is not over reacting, irrespective how it happened. Unless you are 100% sure it was left loose- you have a potential problem, and it could be a fatal one. Aircraft do not suffer fools.

News from Gizmag- The FAA has mandated that all recreational drones must be registered fro next near with penalties and jail for those that do not comply. http://www.gizmag.com/drones-government-registration-faa/40906/ Seems pretty sensible to me, but naturally those who have criminal intent in mind will not.

Also mention that a trial flight with instructor is quite cheap and a great way to have a good time and something most will never experience. It is a great present for a loved one as well.

Hey sex is meant to be messy, or you not doing it right

So that is two 9 series rotax motors throwing a throughbolt. I would be worried, if they have done it once then will likely do it again. Have these problems been reported? Has anyone else had this happen?

Which one, the radial or lycoming? Radials are sexy

More mention of the real world cost associated with purchase new or second hand would be good. Ie. for the price of a average fishing boat, motor and trailer you can get a factory built Jabber. Or for the cost of a basic new 4wd and camper trailer you can get a flash new aircraft etc You can travel australia far cheaper than in a 4wd per km travelled. Aircraft don't loose 45% of value after only 3 years ownership like a car or 4wd. In fact the actual cost of ownership after depreciation, other fixed costs etc even if hangered is less than a new 4wd per year. You can get a nice single seater for the price of a new jet ski or motorbike. Those sort of comparisons to put things into context cost wise. The fact you will pay less for a service/inspection than many common cars. That a folding wing aircraft can be trailered home and kept in the same spot as many caravans or boats. There are no speed limits in the sky just fly to the conditions. Your safety is not dependent on the drunk or distracted driver coming the other way etc.......... Lots of good arguments why it is affordable compared to many choices for recreation we make. And it is FUN.

Do not tell anybody- they will say you have a Jabiru engine, as we all know Rotax engines are perfect:stirrer:
