  1. With a bit of paperwork shuffling wrt RPC and RPL you could do the tailwheel endorsement in the Super Decathlon at Lilydale.
  2. Come along to the trivia night at Events - Nextgennetwork - Ngn aviation trivia night melbourne - Aviation/Aerospace Australia
  3. From CASA’s Air Display Manual: “Organised flying, including cross-country events, contests, exhibitions of flying or local flights made for the purpose of carrying passengers for hire or reward performed at a public gathering. ....... • Fly-in, Competition or Cross country event: A gathering of aircraft at an event or competition not on the basis of a general public invitation (A club event where no invitation is made to the general public [[similar clubs or groups exempted]) does not need to apply for an air display approval from CASA.”
  4. Have fun! An interesting magazine article by a friend in a friend's Eagle which was built by another friend - a nice airplane - Flight Test: Christen Eagle
  5. Enjoy! eaglespin.pdf eaglespin.pdf eaglespin.pdf
  6. Nesmith Cougar
  7. I use Aeroshell W15 W50 AeroShell Multigrade W 15 W 50
  8. To add: we were obviously going very fast, from a gradual circling descent overhead Moorabbin, so quite different from the standard PFL practice with a glide approach. That word "high" was wrt the high speed and being able to ensure getting on the field, rather than "high" wrt my normal approach profile. Backup plan was to restart the engine.
  9. It happened to me in the training area once. CASA FOI on board as my student. Turned the engine off, high short final.
  10. Much written about this stall accident ... I suggest Tony Kern's http://www.916-starfighter.de/darker_shades_of_blue-1.pdf
  11. Another one for you: I was a member of the ULAAA long before there was an AUF. Ultra Light Aircraft Association of Australia!
  12. To add to that, I suggest that you ring CASA and ask - they are helpful and will organise for you to get your tailwheel and nav endorsements transferred too.

    LOC-I in GA

    It is long overdue for this subject to be addressed in Australia. http://davidjpilkington.blogspot.com/2018/06/loc-i-in-australian-general-aviation.html
  14. That’s the one.
  15. I think it is the SA-III listed in this table.
  16. Nope .... somewhere in my garage I have a report assessing the cost of putting it into production (if my memory is correct). It came along after this one https://www.flightglobal.com/FlightPDFArchive/1981/1981 - 3419.PDF
  17. I think I know but just can’t recall the name ... UK some years ago?
