Weird you should ask this tonight Liz.. I needed to take the tin toy for a run to recharge the battery this arvo and after all the discussion lately about stalls and slow flight I went and practiced just that. With a PFL and some circuits thrown in for good measure. And to think that you lot reckon I never pay attention.....

......belt buckle the size of a large pizza pan. :ah_oh: Non plussed, Thompson:big_grin: grinned (funny that..) and bore it. "Crikey, I can't see the attraction of these things ," he muttered between tightly clenched teeth, as he stepped gingerly toward the drifter.....

...how unreliable this method was, 'cuz I kept coming up short when it was cold." O'Dalby:big_grin: was puzzled by this complication :ne_nau: and began to consider glasses when doing math, when a Seneca droned into the circuit....

...math skills without having to remove shoes and socks. "I'm good with numbers up to 21!" added DitDah :big_grin: as he flicked a stone from under the strap of his chinese rubber work boot. "Why just the other day I....

For the princely sum of 25 cents, I telephoned CASA yesterday arvo and was put through to a learned chap to whom I posed a hypothetical scenario of a non specific tradesperson flying to a nearby town to beat the krap out of an unidentified automotive security device to make it start working again. I asked that, if said anonymous tradesperson took his tools of trade and appropriate spare parts for the repair or replacement of that imaginary defective product, would that be a private or commercial op? Dan's first response was "would you be carrying any dangerous goods?" to which I took as a sign that he might be seeing through the ruse (and possibly heard of the Toyota Soarer technique that involves kerosene and a box of matches.) and to be fairly indicative of the area of concern that CASA was primarily going to have. He then continued to state that the method of how a tradesperson chooses to transport their tools, replacement parts and themselves to a job was of no concern to CASA as it was a private matter, provided that charging a specific fee for the use an aircraft was not made. He went on to discuss that CASA are more interested in catching out punters that have set themselves up as 'Dodgey Dave's Discount Air Freight' or 'Cecil Planes non scheduled air taxi service' than monstering some bush mechanic that flies out to do a job somewhere. :big_grin: Of course take of that what you will as it's not in writing from CASA (Dan has promised to follow it up and send something official to show if 'ramped'), but the next time some box of snot's ignition jambs up somewhere near an airfield on a nice day.....

Oh BigPete. Damn....I'm so saddened to hear this. I too wish I could take some of the pain away. If only we could. Steven B.

And there in lies the problem.

P.S. Put your hands on your hips....

That's going to put a spanner into the works then. i_dunno looking on the bright side. Doing Nav-Exs is good fun! :big_grin:

Dave, If you already have a PPL, you may be able to get a recognition of prior learning for the cross country endo. http://raa.asn.au/opsmanual/2-07.pdf Page 5 section 9, Cross Country Endorsement. It's a little ambiguous in the way it's written, but it's probably worth having a yarn with your CFI or contacting mothership in Canberra for clarification. Cheers! ** Disregard. Just saw your last post.

:raise_eyebrow: ..........You're setting up an aeroplane on a conveyer belt gag aren't you!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! :vis: ()

And it's a wonderfully accurate opinion that you have.

It was a whimsical town that now marched to the tune of a different drummer...

..are the Dalby twins that caught ditDah's eye made of flesh, bone and other assorted interesting bits or just a pair of old lycomings? :ne_nau: "Have a look at the rack on that!" interrupted ditdah :big_grin: enthusiastically as scooted out from under........

Yep.

:raise_eyebrow: Did they give an estimate of how long it will take to dig it out of the runway?! () ... ... ... P.S. Well done :thumb_up:

...ClandestineRat (007Rat ) to agent O'Dalby. :peepwall: "dit dit, dah, dit dit dit" replied O'Dalby in secret code speak. (:ne_nau:) "Possum skinned Elvis impersonator sighted bothering local females." whispered double-O-Rat into his cuff radio :patch:. "Warnings on file include possible damage to hearing and high risk of fleas. last seen gyrating and singing mostly off key...."

"I'm just a chuck, a chunk of Turbo love.." :rilla: Tubz crooned as he wildly gyrated his hips.(some what similar to a kelpie that just piddled on the electric fence, some would say. ) "A can't compete with that!" :gaah:howled the Rat indignantly :patch: as he reached for his....

"There he was, resplendent in his white possum skin smock...." ReminiscentRat sobbed inconsolably. "..Just have one Carrie Fischer fantasy, and now this..." =================== While finessing said Prado with a lump hammer, Locks thought to himself that Rat's daughter is very fortunate that she looks more like her mum than her dad...:bmwrider:

"Wash the Jab, chop some wood for mum, pay homage to queen Anna :queen: then...Kaboom!" muttered the Xzerisian :big_grin: sleeper agent as he set about his plot....

..carbon is mostly what was left of ornate walnut dado panels at a certain wagga(x2) conference venue after the air conditioner went into freeze mode () "Where's Rat?" enquired one soot covered delegate, as he scoffed another handful of arctic mints from the foyer cherub. "Reckon you can tell him that there's something wrong with the fireplace in the conference room?" "But there isn't a fireplace in the conference room" quizzed the reception lass, Ohh..i_dunno Well,:ne_nau: there is now........

The lurid lecher leered lustfully at lovely Linda's luscious lines :heart:....then left. :ah_oh: "Despicable!" :Disappointed: declared Darks as she documented depositions from distraught diners....

"Ridiculous!" rejected the ravenous Rat. :Disappointed: "The theory of tainted toasted treats touted by Turbo is tantamount to terrorism" he treatised.... :rolleyes1:

"..Possibly.." pondered PowerinPete. "Poorly prepared porcine products produce problems periodically." :ne_nau:
