  1. All I'm saying Pete is that Bex would have been digging himself into an ever increasing hole by starting the project off in Sketchup, its just not the right software package for designing a plane, great for furniture.
  2. deleted...insulting to a member, play the topic not the person FT, as you well know......mod
  3. he's still going, edited...mod
  4. Do you really want to be flying around with a dodgy radio?
  5. large chunks of the NBN can easily be converted over to 5G, all the basic infrastructure is there, fibre, power and an in street installation
  6. when a tower gets overloaded they drop off clients that have access to other towers. your 4G tower out in the sticks probably only has a few passing cars on it most of the time. I'm on the NBN since 2012 and its a huge step up from the ADSL2 I had before, rock solid for years at a time
  7. @derekliston has agreed to follow this project
  8. its inevitable that the RAA does what its told regardless of what the members want. the only control the RAA have is the $5 or $10 yearly increase in fees.
  9. get Barnaby to have a look at and he'll tell you he's doing everything he can to fix it.
  10. happy that barnaby fixed the drought
  11. I was unlucky enough to see 11 people killed at Reno but I can't remember the last time I heard of a plane killing someone on ground in Australia
  12. I live in toowoomba but most of the oldies I know in town are cow cockies from out west or from sydney or melbourne
  13. most likely not
  14. solar and wind are pushing the price down but that's just leading to bigger margins and bigger profits for the network owners
  15. HKS went out of production after Fukushima when electricity prices spiked, I think its finally died now due to a lack of suitable airframes
  16. that's the beauty of privatisation, wholesale prices go down and profits go up. have you seen https://opennem.org.au/energy/sa1/ SA producing so much power now that the wholesale price goes negative
  17. when was the last time an RAA aircraft killed someone on the ground? its an abstract risk
  18. I opened that up thinking that they would have clarified the statements that make regulations but its just a continuation of the same faulty language that plagues aviation
  19. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVfbUfPHbpU
  20. I don't see what the issue is, once the building is built, the council has to have a tenant. If the locals make it look like a bad idea to the council, you might miss out on a very nice new clubhouse.
  21. of course not
  22. Its hard to justify the investment in new facilities at the airport when GA is declining and unlikely to change or without a customer. I'd say RMP have approached the council looking for a facility to rent and the council are satisfied RMP can pay the rent for the next 5 years. Apart from them being Indian, I can't see what the problem is.
  23. mike has plenty of money, he'll rebuild Draco better than before
  24. council are spending council money to develop a council asset. if RMP leaves the airport everyone gets a nice clubhouse, if RMP makes a go of it then the council gets its money back through rent. I don't see what they issue is
