Turpop, You might have missed , or perhaps you misunderstood the word NOT in my post. ( I put it in capitals so that it would be hard to miss.) To assume that because I said I was NOT implying something must mean that I was implying something else is as flawed as someone saying: "I don't know what A said to B but I do know what A didn't say to B." i.e. wrong in both examples. Can I assist you further?

Sorry Turbop, I didn't mean to confuse you.

He's just stirring and being mischievous David. The question that should be asked is not how many of the 20,000 produced have achieved the magical 1000 hours but how many have suffered a serious failure before reaching 1000 hrs. Ornis is using primary school "logic" by inferring that as only 500 have achieved the magic 1000 hours, the other 19,500 must have therefore failed before reaching that figure. He MAY be correct but he hasn't yet provided any factual back-up for his prepostering He's using clever language to try and bolster his dodgy figuring. It's the same format used by politicians, dishonest Union reps and trucking company executives when trying to sway the masses with their illogicalities . And before the moderators start to hyperventilate, I am NOT implying that the Kiwi Kid is any of the above

We? Is that the "Royal we"? I certainly agree with your choice of engine but I have difficulty with a lot of your other assertions. c'est la vie, c'est la guerre!

Here was me thinking you two were brothers, but Father and Son......... Jeez it doesn't bear thinking about
-
And I know of many Jab that have done more than 2000 hrs as well. It's not a p!ssing competition Ross.
-
Let's hope indeed, but I suspect it's more a bandaid fix to show CASA that they're responding. Time will tell.

Trying for the world's longest euphemism Oscar?

Exactly. The exiting Director clearing his desk before his successor could arrive and consider the issue. In government there is the "caretaker convention" where the outgoing government won't (well, shouldn't) make policy decision that bind the incoming government. That convention is also observed in when the occupants of senior public service positions change. It clearly wasn't in this case.

I would describe it as Machiavellian rather than curious.
-
Ornis, if you don't know what was said how can you possibly know what wasn't said?
-
Thanks GAFA, I'll go hunt them up. I'm a bit disappointed though, I thought we might have found a mole in the CASA citadel. Ah well......
-
Heresay? Or do we at last have a reliable source of information from someone inside CASA?
-
On commission Ross?
-
Good.

He's your brother. Talk to him! Just kidding

Airbus is having a pretty bad run as well. Neither your comment or mine is relevant to this thread.

So here's a company (CAMit) that's doing what some say Jabiru hasn't been doing for the last 20 years: that is research and development into design and structural problems. It has produced a range of upgrades that are being tested in service and the data gained is being used to further develop the product. And still people sneer that there's only 30 in service. Sure that's not a large number but at least the Company is doing something worthwhile to assist the industry and we poor mugs who want to fly RA. And it's 30 more than Jab produced. Do you think, just maybe, CAMit deserves a bit better that. They may not have all the answers but at least they re looking and doing something positive. Ian Bent is, in my opinion, about as genuine as you can get and I think he deserves better than posts that dismiss his efforts because there's "only 30". What happened to the Aussie spirit of giving a bloke a fair go? To many words??

Our Cuz ‘cross the Tasman called Ornis, had troubles with Jab that had torn us He’s at last seen the light, gone with CAMit, that’s right! he’s gunna be pressed now to scorn us
-
Sweety!? Aw shucks! And all this time I thought you didn't like me.......
-
:spot on:Well I just thought you might've missed it amongst all the other words..... NO I don't want a room, I'll leave you two lovers to kiss & make up. You sure you two aren't siblings? You sure sound like you are. Maybe father and son????

Oscar said just a page or so back: " That Rotax 912 engines are far more tolerant of a wider range of operating conditions than are Jabiru engines, I don't believe is in any way in issue. The form of Rotax 912s is without doubt, inherently more tolerant: water-cooled heads are, quite simply, protected far better than air-cooled heads and a great deal of the operating tolerance of Rotax 912s flows from that: tolerance to variations in fuel quality, a more consistent cooling installation in all operating conditions, almost no occurrence of thermal shock. All of that is good; Hmmmm..... Seriously rubbishing the opposition with that comment. Like being savaged by a gummy sheep. I imagine Rotax will be seeking a restraining order after that condemnation. Snickers time again?
-
Ah Turbop, wrong again! Best be checking check you facts - or perhaps your source. But what the duck does my occupation have to do with anything? Why does it cause you so much concern? What if I was a middle manager in the trucking game ? , or a Sydney harbour ferry captain? or a taxi driver or......... what does it matter? Get over it!
-
Nice try Oscar but you haven't included any jabs in your list. Are you perhaps distorting the numbers? Are you TP's brother?
-
Yes!
