Looks very good to me Flightygirl, well done.

Won't be long before you get that precious piece of paper to confirm all your hard work (and the instructors, grey hairs) only kidding!

This clip is quite funny to watch, though i'm a bit baffled, because there does not seem to any real movement of the rudder or elevator.

I can't help you with flying schools in Perth, as i'm in Sydney, but i'm sure others in the area can point you in the right direction.

I'm an expat too, of over thirty years, and I bet you love seeing more blue skies.

Keep us posted as to how youre going.

Hi Mike and .

Do you also fly, or simply have an interest in aircraft, which make great photographic subjects?

Look forward to seeing some of your handiwork.

The way to look at what you are doing at any point of time is "what would the COURT FIND"? This will bring you down to earth. NO MEL (minimum equipment list) would permit operation without brakes (Where fitted) They would be sticking their neck out too far. The DH-82 (with tailSKID) operated on grass, never had brakes fitted , and did not need them. Motz. is on the money here. The other thing is that in justifying individual circumstances, you are saying in effect that "rules are for non-thinkers/ non skilled/non capable, people,. NOT for me. The system can never accept such a proposition, and will come down on you like a TONNE of bricks.. The rest out there will say 'this bloke said it was OK. I reckon I'm as good as he is so it's OK for me. The example you set is important too.

A saying I go by is "There are enough unknowns risks in the air already to not risk taking known risks into the air with you." Nev

However, we sincerely hope that our young friend has learned something from his friends with more experience, to enable him to calulate the situation a little differently, should the same situation arise again.

I'm sure, he will think again about all these wise words offered, and hopefully consider it as part of his learning experience.

We all care about you Tomo, thats why words of wisdom are said, not necessarily to condem, but to make sure you're with us for a long time.

Meanwhile Turbo goes------Whooooooska and has a break until now, and Powein

comes back with a smile a mile wide from visiting the Doctors wife.

He was heard to say, "surely you don't expect me to divulge----------------

Hi David,

The factory specs quote a stall of 20knots with flaps.

With plenty of fuel in the tanks and two beefy POB, I would imagine makes quite a difference to the figures.

It would be interesting to know what the fuel and aircraft load was, when they arrive at the figures quoted.

Never the less, they look a very desirable little aircraft.

Good report Tomo, thanks for posting it.

What a great looking aircraft, and the performance is almost unbelievable at both ends of the performance envelope.

I really need to see a claivoyant for next weeks Lotto numbers , but I get disallusioned when they ask what your name is :confused:

look whos flying solo!

Good on you Rachael:thumb_up:

Your progress is great to see, and to read about.

Kind Regards

Planey

PS. Your wing tips now say it all, and look very appropriate.

"Hmmm....but what sort of bait to use?" "Perhaps some type of fruit product....I hear city folk line up for apples....." :stirring pot:QUOTE)

 

Yea!, thats the go Powein, Great idea. They say an apple a day, keeps the doctor at bay.

 

So with a box of apples,------- we can have a hell of a time with the doctors wife:ecstatic:.

A three-year-old boy was examining his testicles while taking a bath."Mom" he asked, "are these my brains?"

 

"Not yet," she replied.

We would simply get excited posing with a new set of slashers for the John Dere.

 

There's actually more in this world to get excited about on my side of the fence, for fair-dinkum down to earth blokes.:)

Welcome to the forums John,

I did my first few flights from Biggin Hill and a couple from Shoreham.

You'll soon get the hang of these forums, but I have warn you, they can become a bit addictive, and mowing the lawn has to take second priority.;)

Good luck with Jabiru training. Let us know how you're going.

Kind Regards

Locky was all eyes for the teamleader who reminded him of a lass he'd seen in a magazine in the barbers shop. In fact he was quite overcome with joy.

I'll have to get in quick, before elRatto reappears and flashes his worldly charm, he thought.

Thinking he was doing the right thing to impress her, he invited her back to his place for a romantic candle-lit dinner. I make a mean cuppa-soup he said:face and heart:and I still have some leftover chinese from Friday night:heart::big_grin::heart:

"Phewy, what a smell - put your socks back on Rivet" said 2000 bystanders.But it had done the trick; a rodent was seen streaking away, his nose pinched tightly by his little paws.

And even the Wagga bloodhounds ran off in the upwind direction as the SES handlers were donning their hazardous material suits.

Cheers Doug.

That was great.Thanks for posting it.

Welcome Kiwiaviator,

You'll make a lot of good friends on this site, and it looks like some already have a connection.

Behave yourself, and have fun here. This world we live in, seems to really be a small place, co's you can bet your bottom dollar someone will find out, if you play up.

Kind regards

Planey

thems fighting words....

Not really, they're "trying to get you to speak, words".

Sounds like it's starting to work, but just needs a bit more WD40.

Welcome to the NES madness Tomo.

Good to hear from you.

We thought you might have been busy pushing the daises out the ground.

Quite an experience that sounds well handled under the circumstances. Good onyer Merve.

Poor Destiny-Flyer will be probably be having flash-backs, but the great thing is that you guys are still with us to tell the story's, and we can all learn from that.

Kind Regards

Planey

Its OK folks, I only dropped in to check my new ranking. You are quite safe .

........or are you??????:stirring pot::stirring pot::stirring pot:

Of course we are, Bryon :big_grin:

I think everyones gone to look for firewood to put under those stirring pots of yours.

Tomo is still around for one, thank God, though talking about double de-clutching on another post, thinking what to say here, even if it's a simple "Hello".

Did'nt think that double de-clutching was necessary on a J120, but I still have a lot to learn about the latest Jabiru models:confused:.

Do you think the Captain has retired, Turbo become a train driver in Tokyo and Ahlocks got locked up somewhere:question:.

Tommorow at first light light, we have the bloodhounds and Wagga SES organised for a search. No worries said the bloodhound handler, his hot water service is reported to be on the blink, so they'll soon sniff him out for sure.

I hope the others are not all laid beneath that old oak tree, in the green green grass of home, that I sang :robin:about at Karioke last night, responded Planey.

Could it be that they heard Planeys first public rendition in nearly 50yrs and have burried their heads in the sand?

Maybe they're a lot wiser than he thought!

Meanwhile other forum members within earshot, were sighted removing the batteries from their hearing aids.

What a bloody nerve they've got:angry: thought the geriatric one night star:star: feeling quite offended.

Their day will come:black_eye:

So there's a Mansfield in the States as well. The original's in the UK, one here in Vic or NSW (sorry can't remember and too lazy to look it up) so that's 3. Any more I wonder. Oh BTW, my surname, Mansfield of coarse, and I'm in the best state of all, South Australia. (and that's how to start a war. lol)

She was quite a well endowed girl and became well known;)
