  1. My stepson is a Driver Examiner... has found the 'kids' that turn up in their semi-autonomous new cars.. they 'can't' drive as the car is 'assisting' way too much. and testing is done with it Off Same with the 'Glass' what to do when the lights go out???
  2. G100UL high octane unleaded avgas G100UL.COM Find out more about GAMI's G100UL® high octane unleaded aviation gasoline. Website addresses the Cirrus Notification specially...
  3. Takeoff authority was not a problem.. just had to get the tail up early .. I generally did a 'launch off'.. hold it on the line and wind up the 'rubber band' and let it go.. judicious (well practiced) quick stick forward movement to pop the tail up immediately... wheels off in less than 200m .. My landing in Soni was at near to stall, (the really low wing suffer greatly from float if the speed was even a little too high) raise the nose until stall warning just started (it is mounted just behind my ear) plane is the at the right attitude to achieve the 'carrier' landing.. with the mains just above the tail wheel ..At that point you 'followed it to the deck.. hook the tail, mains on, power off, stick into the guts to Pin the steerable tailwheel... because Yes once down the tail was shielded by the turtledeck...and had no authority at all Did 150 hours after I learnt to fly it...with lots of landings .. never did a go around or ground loop (had a few of doosy's, but stuck all regardless) A mod on later builds was a raised tail (generally around 2") to assist in alleviating the shadowing.
  4. I was led to believe , that AS LONG as you did not leave AIRSIDE, you did not need an ASIC... Ie Land.. refuel.. leave (no toilet break etc.) was perfectly acceptable
  5. Correct size for a Standard built Sonerai IIL.. Come in two variations As mine square or Rounded to give a 'traditional' look.. I can assure you .. I did 150 hours in 6 months in it, and lack of authority in flight was never a problem. (Think I have mentioned before... PLEASE put a reference to what you are commenting on) Lyle
  6. But still no information if it didn't...sorta the whole point of it.. The chase plane ..if it was keeping up.. most certainly would have made a 'noise'🤦‍♂️ Look forward to more info after the second flight
  7. My little tail dragger
  8. But did it go Boom.... like is supposed to NOT do when it broke the barrier?
  9. I normally would not comment on Forum Politics but But No comment on the 'pretend' radial???? At least the chopper motor cane from a plane The radial will never come off the stand I would expect all Moderator to be fair and balanced.... and not let personalities play a part of their judgments
  10. You can switch back and forth between the Starlink roaming plan and fixed .. Roaming when out in the Van.. Back to Fixed when at Home... When roaming.. WiFi calling has phone coverage nearly everywhere..
  11. I understood 19-10 didn't have the single restriction?
  12. When I did my training in the LSA55.. the little white Jab was Invisible the bright Western Qld sky... EXCEPT for the Strobe on the tail... Could see that.. and once established identify the plane.. The marker lights are more for aesthetics (on boats🤡...) But a GOOD strobe on the tail is a personal mandatory
  13. All sorts of.....on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@foundandexplained/videos
  14. Makes me wonder 'What are they really looking for' Doing the 'search "no find, no fee" ' they are allowed to search without hindrance or questions... If it went down in the Indian Ocean the JOTA array in WA would have 'seen' it
  15. Just Curiosity of course.... Maybe our southern pilots have never had occasion to battle the northern extreme... would be only 'slightly' different to say Alice Springs in summer🤣
