    Jonny - What do you fly? ... from where?

    I now use Castrol Active 2T in my 503 - after finding out the Penrite HiPer 2 stroke wasn't available in the 20l drums anymore. Had to drain the fuel tank (whilst doing a minor service incl. changing spark plugs) to ensure that there would be no problems with oil incompatibility.

    Hey Pud, did you notice that in the document it states ... "To remove more stubborn oils, use ethanol such as methylated spirits (or vodka / whisky etc). " .... I can hapily report that after NYE, I have no stubborn oils in me. Peter

    Welcome Bob (and d34dr00), What are you interested in? Which part of the world do you live? What are your aspirations? Peter

    I think that the position of the switches is wrong in the first place (where they can be accidentally knocked to "off") I would rather see them mounted on the top plate. Peter

    Welcome, Pali, to the best site (for wannabes, gunnabes, and needabes!). C'mon, tell us! Peter

    Welcome StringPuller!! Good to see another one (PPC flyer) here on the site ... Yeah, they all seem pretty good here - I really enjoy reading about other Pilot's experiences etc. That would be really good! Look forward to your input! Peter

    Mine is a photo a mate took of me flying my Aerochute in an "Aircraft Carrier" comp at a flyin near Avoca Vic. a couple of years ago. Peter

    With the Christmas decorations hanging off my parachute on the left, its making it awfully hard to take off! (Can you tell I'm bored?) Peter

    Welcome (Back) Ryan! What aircraft do you normally fly? Peter

    But he'll spend a looooooong time in hospital first ...

    For Powered Parachutes it (the difference) is quite significant. To "stop" - let the parachute come to rest on the ground - requires engine off before the chute lands, proper control of the chute to ensure it stays down, then you must get out of cockpit, set into wind, correct layout of the chute, (preflight check), startup, manoeuvre chute to take-off position, then go. (i.e. it is a separate flight) ... a touch and go - least two or all three wheels down, keeping parachute under control so that it is still in take-off position allowing for any cross-wind.

    Not Eildon, Tomo but the co-ordinates put it just north of Lismore Peter

    For the purposes of maintaining the PAX endorsement, do Touch and Goes count as landings? (Or do they have to be "Flights"?)

    I've only had a plover try to swoop me in the Aerochute because I flew too close to it's nesting site - I was at about 50ft. Hate to think what damage a wedgie could do! (Makes mental note: NEVER annoy a wedge tail eagle! )

    Welcome Gandalf ... Of course, we expect a few photos along the way ... Peter

    Ian, I just want to wish you all the best, and thank you for all your work in creating something that gives me so much pleasure to participate in. I do hope you get a good break and return well rested, knowing your caretaker team is looking after things for you. (I also wish them all the best as well!) Peter
  23. Suitman
    Ian, I agree with your list above and would submit the following for consideration ... Tutorials - go under the Pilot Tools tab Members - go under the Home tab Downloads - go under the Pilot Tools tab Help is the 10th item - All main menus should have access to the Help. Peter

    Errr, You're not married, are you Tomo ? <<thought not>>
  25. Suitman
    Ahh, I know THAT feeling. Don't push it, eventually she'll come round (hopefully). After 5 years, my wife is contemplating her third flight with me. The conditions have to be just perfect, and she has the advantage of time on her side. Peter
