Thanks Alan, To paraphrase; As I don't use AvGas in my Rotax it's of significant interest to me. I would suggest that the number of ULP users is significant (& rising) and it's only the conservatism of the aviation community as a whole, that results in this sort of discrimination.

One useful detail that is missing, from the OzRunways pilot touring guide, is the nearest available 98 RON ULP - other sites like Fuel Guide can be excessed for this , it would be nice if included in OzRunways.😈 .

saying there is no quick fix means nothing gets done. You may be correct. Assuming you are an Au Citizen, you can vote for a candidate/party with policies that have been developed using rational, rather than the usual emotive claptrap/vote getters. we need to change bail laws. Why? - On our justice system you are innocent until proven guilty. Only the potentially dangerous should not have bail privileges jails have to be places people don't want to go to. not somewhere to catch up with mates .- Agreed ! but also should have strong rehabilitation programmes, overwise they are just criminal universities. tobacco taxs should be returned to previous levels. if cigarettes cost no more than chop chop the tobacco war would stop overnight. all those taxes do is incite crime and take food off the table in low income households. Prohibition, of any level, has never worked, except for organised crime. Fare better to put the tax payers dollars go into encouraging excessive drug taking (of all sorts) to be seen as socially unacceptable & dangerous to health. i have seen it myself around here. the do gooder judges need to be sacked and get some decent people in there. The problem with this philosophy is that inosents end up in jail - would you like yourself/family member/friend to face a "hanging judge"?

Be very careful what you wish for - flogings may have worked for a few, for others it just entrenched injustice. Giving the power to administer corporal punishment, to a group of people without adequate checks balances on their mental state/training, is in itself, a crime. To my mind very similar to having general duties/highway patrol cops armed - way too easy to justify summary executions without good cause = State sanctioned crimes. As long as it happens to those with little / no voice we just shrug and let it happen.😈

There is no second guessing/logic in some bureaucratic decisions but I can't see making your own wood prop being okay and the fitting of a good quality/well tested composite ground adjust, being not okay😈

Al true Spacesailer and I am all for artistry, cost savings & personal achievement/satisfaction HOWEVER this should be weighed against the benefits of a ground adjust composite propellers weather resistance, consistency, weight and ability to be optimise for the airframe/mission. 😈

Just wondering - why the fixation on a wooden propeller?? There are so many very nice ground adjust props on the market. I wonder would not one of these fit your purpose & achieve a more optimised/durable & weather resistant, fan at the same time? 😈

"Do as I say - Not as I do" Aside from that - Publishing your law breaking seems to go hand in hand with the behaviour. Had a similar aircraft crash & fatality at The Oaks, a few years back - his naughty videos were all over the net. I believe CFI had words with him on several occasions.

Especially in Tiger (Crock) Country😈

Are you sure you're comparing apples with apples? - RAA rego includes insurance.😈

The Australian Guru of Europas lives SW Qld somewhere - sorry, I forget his name, someone on the Forum will likly know who I am referring to. Nice bloke, very helpful, knowledgeable about Europas. I think he may have two, one of which may have a Rotax 914😈

The USA, supposedly the greatest democracy & economy today, is characterised by appalling poverty AND obscene wealth. Features that few administrations have acknowledged or tried to seriously tackle - a situation unlikly to change under the coming onslaught😈

I guess my observation, alludes to generosity with little substance (as in a political offer that fails to be implemented). IF this offer took any RAA time at all, to negotiate, I would also suggest that our Administration might use our time/money to much better effect. 😈

Aaaah! Greater specificity - will try & take your advice😈
