:welcome:Maca1926.Hi All,Whilst I have been flying since 2002 this is my first post on this site. My flying has been out of the Oaks in Lightwings and Jabirus. I am a member of RAA and hold a current Pilot Certificate but with not a lot of hours. I live at Cattai and was hoping to contact flyers who are into Microlights in my area with the view to gaining a weightshift endorsement, flying locally and may be purchasing my own trike or similar.Look forward to hearing from anyone who might be able to help.
Cheers
Maca
1926, does that mean you are 84 and even older than me:big_grin:? Probably not, but all are very welcome here anyway.
I don't get out to The Oaks as often as i'd like due to other commitments, but hope to catch up with you sometime to say G'day.
Next time you're out there, ask if Sonny the Drifter Driver is around? he's a real nice bloke and has a Fisher Mk1 as well as a trike out there, or, used to, and i'm sure he'd point you in the right direction.
Kind Regards

:welcome:Dave
Flight Sim FSX is great fun in between the real thing, pity they don't have a J160 on there.
I think I read a post on here somewhere, that one of the boys had downloaded one from somewhere, but that would probably be beyond my computer skills.
Enjoy your training and let us know how you progress.
Don't be afraid to ask questions here, there's always someone happy to help.
JUST DON'T ASK FOR MONEY :big_grin: as it could make the forums go a bit quiet.:peepwall:

Feeling absolutely shattered at hearing this news.
Decca and I had bond that money can't buy. We were in quite regular contact and we always tried to prop one another up with positives. He was always more interested in my problem, before his own. However, when he called the other evening, he apoligised to me and said "I'm sorry mate, but I don't think we'll get to share that bottle of red together". I was lost for words and felt numb, as I knew what he was trying to tell me.
Love you heaps buddy, your passing will be leaving a big void in my life, and I know many others as well.
My condolances go out to Sue and the family, and others that feel like I do.
Rest in peace ole mate.
Kindest regards
Planey.

An elderly couple, who were both widowed, had been going out with each other for a long time.
Urged on by their friends, they decided it was finally time to get married. :heart:
Before the wedding, they went out to dinner and had a long conversation regarding how their marriage might work.
They discussed finances, living arrangements and so on.
Finally, the elderly gentleman decided it was time to broach the subject of their physical relationship.
'How do you feel about sex?' he asked, rather tentatively.
'I would like it infrequently,' she replied.
The old gentleman sat quietly for a moment, adjusted his glasses, leaned over towards her and whispered,
'Is that one word or two, dear?' :gerg:

Don't worry too much, we now have the answer in post 3..............You need to go see a Spin doctor:thumb_up:I'm still fuming about another post here which suggests that I shouldn't be doing aerobatics at my age and now you come out with this! -
This is something to think seriously about.
I recently picked a new primary care doctor.
After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing 'fairly well' for my age. (I just turned 60.)
A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I'll live to be 80?'
He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer or wine, indulge in chocolate or coffee?'
'Oh no,' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!'
Then he asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?
'I said, 'Not much.... my former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!'
'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?'
'No, I don't,' I said.
He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?'
'No,' I said.
He looked at me and said... 'Then, why would you even give a sh:censored:?

Hi guys... looking for some friends that tolerate gyros. Got my rotors (wings) in Xmas and lashed out and bought an MT-03. Looking for somewhere to fly around Tamborine. Looking forward to meeting people :)Gordon
Another "Ceiling Fan" enthusiast.
:welcome:Gordon, and get your mates to register as well. It would be good to have a few more on here.
You'll have lots of fun here, can learn a lot, and meet a lot of nice guys & gals with similar interests.
We're all enthusiasts of one type or another and it matters not whether your main interest is flying fans, planks, models, or computer desks fitted out with flightsim.
We'd love to see a picture of your MT-03 when you get a chance, so look forward to your further posts
Regards Planey
PS I just Googled it, and it looks a very capable bit of gear which would be a heap of fun.

As soon as I saw this a couple of days ago, I wondered whether that was our mate Turboplanner's boat?, but then noticed it had a Mercury on the back.:laugh:and not his vintage British Seagull 3 1/2hp which he tries to waterski behind. -
Without a doubt!You both alive mate so you did the right thing without question, not even worth second guessing yourself as you should be proud that your training and instincts kicked in and in the pinch you made rational life saving decisions.Great stuffWell done.

Hi Dexter.
The outcome may not have been quite as you had wished, but it sounds like your actions saved the bacon of yourself and pax, which is the main thing.
News such as this, has an impact on all your mate too, thats obvious by all the replies.
Kind Regards

... Ho-Down, that well known Saturday night passtime in Cecil's Planes, Queen's Land, where the ..............
local hotties are normally shown a card which reads "lay down and do exactly what I say, the person showing you this card is an air-raid warden"

Welcome back Ben.
Many of us here have enjoyed your posts in the past, and look forward to you catching up again.
You have been missed by many here.

Have you ever noticed on the news, how when a crop is discovered and the police are burning it, how happy they look in their work:laugh:G'day Vorticy, yes indeed! That property you speak of is our neighbour! And I chipped most of his hemp (like cotton chipping, but hemp instead! - de weeding it)Small world ain't it -
:clown::clown:
How times have changed:question:.
Planey as a young lad used to go to the corn merchants in the UK and buy hemp seed by the pint scoop for ninepence, as bait for fishing. We'd tip it in a saucepan of boiling water and simmer it until it swelled a bit and a little shoot came out the side, and used tiny size 18 or 20 hooks which you gently pushed into the split in the shell of the seed so the little shoot was showing. It was a great bait, and no, we never caught clown fish.
If you were caught with that much these days, you'd probably wind up in the slammer, but back in the late 50's and early 60's it was a commonly used bait for river fishing.

"Ah-ha, ze mysterious case of ze missing pussy" thought Poirotplaney
But as the years progress, he had to come to terms with fact that he could not chase them as hard as he used to:crying:
.
To call on the assistance of the Dark-One, makes him nervous, because of her new avitar:angry:thumb_down, which may only be a shot in the dark to some, but she's got to be successful sometime.
As most cats realise, to cop a stray one can be a real worry:exclamation:
"Zis is somezing I can get my teeth into" he pondered.
All I need to do is find them..... Oh! there they are in the glass on the bedside table. Gee they must be pleased to see me, co's their smiling st me".
You'd just love to become closely attached to these things, but that rarely happens:sad:,:score 001:if you're lucky.:broken_heart: unless they glisten with gold which can also makes the ASI hard to read.......................

went for a (after) sunrise flight this morning' date=' was ridiculously awesome! so clear smooth and :thumb_up::thumb_up::thumb_up:[/color']
"Thats great to hear Tomo" said the remorseful Planey,who felt he'd conned you all.
You do realise dear readers, that Tomo's note, was also probably a wind-up for us less fortunate souls, who did not get a "rediculously awesome" start to the day
With Planeys coffee jug going off with big flash and bang first thing, and the card of fuse-wire lent to a neighbour and not returned,
he was absolutely de-lighted hearing that someone had had a wonderful start to the day.:baldy: Thats all he needed to hear:yuk:.
Where's our Locky when you need him, he thought, as he used the bolt cutters instead of the missing key to open the meter box padlock:question:
The day is sure to get better, because it's not Friday the 13th and tomorrow I May.......just dance around the flagpole:laugh:

Two old guys were having a chat on a park bench.
One said to the other: "My 85th birthday yesterday you know.
Wife gave me an SUV".
Other guy: "Wow, that's amazing! Imagine, an SUV! What a great gift!"
First guy: "Yup. Socks, Underwear and Viagra!"

No thanks.
Sounds like a thick book in a retirement home, you don't normally live long enough to get to the end of the story.
