    Looks like you're getting used to it there Tomo, so when we meeting up at pittsworth? Also how was the stall, looks like it has a bit of wing drop there?

    Ride a bike, memorize the motion, repeat learnt foot work on landing!!! Just like any other endorsement, it takes finding a T/W airplane to be instructed on and doing the hours with the instructor. Not a difficult one to get, but harder to become really proficient than most other!

    PULL THE BRS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No seriously it has happened to me about 5 times in the past (and I will ad NEVER due to pitot covers, well actually once it was but that was an automatic cover opened by the wind like on early 150!). As you get more familiar with aircraft you can really feel the stall coming on and get used to how it should look/feel/handle etc on the approach. To be honest my landings where the best when ASI was out!!!! And it was not as stressful as I thought it would be

    I lived in Mansfield for years (family still does) and have done many a "trip around the block" looping from Mansfield, out over eildon to bonnie done and back via the highway to mansfield again. I know those now infamous wires very well, problem with them is there actually a lot higher than you would expect to find wires. It would be easy to clip them while not actually flying low over the water, so it is doubtful pilots are even looking for them!!! Nothing like that false sense of security!

    Lots of people do check for active airspeed on the gauge as soon as they roll. Problem for people like us is Kaz, by the time your eyes shift from runway to ASI, you're airborne!!!! Personally I try to glance over RPM, ASI and Oil Px quickly just to make sure all is still good. Thats 90% of my gauges too so it's about all I can do!!

    Desperate times! That and it was the only useful job they could find for something as disgusting as porridge!

    I am more meaning the panic scenario where you FREAK OUT and deploy the chute before really analysing if it was necessary to deploy it. For instance, you T/O with your pitot cover on, realize you have no airspeed indicate, PANIC and deploy the chute!!!!!

    D.I.Y Training, LOVE IT!!!!!! Sounds like a sensible way to approach an aircraft! I never knew how much the nose wheel version of a thruster looks like an xair (Or maybe xair looks like a thruster!!!)

    BRS Con = Although having posted that video I feel I should also add I am neither for nor against BRS fitted to aircraft. Like every safety device available there are situation when I would LOVE to have one and it would save my life and others where it could possibly cause more damage then it could prevent. Proper use is key and that takes avoiding using the deploy handle as a panic button!

    I do not own a trike, but I am going to go with Victoria because it is the best state for EVERYTHING! Although not a state, NZ would have to be an awesome place to go trike flying to!!!!

    Let's hire a warrior Tomo and see if were as good as him! I'm game if you are!!!!
  16. Louis Moore
    If you're like Tomo once you have your GA ticket you get invited to fly ALL TYPES of aircraft. That alone makes it worth while!

    Not so cheap conversation to an RG aircraft!
  18. Louis Moore

    Great looking aircraft, hope she flies as sweet as she looks.
  20. Louis Moore
    Pressure is on Anyone live near Toowoomba who own a thruster?????
  21. Louis Moore
    Why no shots of the actual aircraft and only computer gen models?

    Pete, Drop around here one day and I will give you some old bed sheets you could use. Hell I will even through in some flour for you to mix up and use a dope! Maybe just don't fly in the rain when it's done and you'll be almost, maybe, nearly, sort of, she'll be right, okay!
  23. Louis Moore
    Well done Tomo, looks like it is a neat little machine! Now you're all good to fly out to pittsworth!
  24. Louis Moore
