  1. " familiarisation flights " . Not so good in a single seater , I thought of going from training wheel at the front, to tail dragging in the same model Hummelbird , just swapping the maim mounts to the other side. But never got that far. spacesailor
  2. Yes we pay & pay again . spacesailor
  3. I use an Altronics head set with separate ANR battery powered kit. Works great while mowing the lawn. Cuts out All the mower exhaust & ignition noise . As I don't fly . spacesailor
  4. The D. H. COMET was 'PRESSURE TESTED ' UNDER-WATER ', So as to hold the hull INTACT ! . spacesailor
  5. Any chance of " flight training " in China . Just a thought of keeping your training current . spacesailor
  6. so , If a RAA pilot floats down to an airfield . ( not saying why ) will that pilot cop a fine for , not paying/informing airport management he was , a/ doing circuit, b/ unauthorised landing . C/ using said airspace. Unauthorised fire in " fire-ban " time . ( plane crashb causes inferno ).. Greedy people would have a party . spacesailor
  7. At the cost of a little " Carbon Cub " the family can Afford one each . spacesailor
  8. Sorry this content is not available noe . ( no facebook account ) Please enlighten. As to what has happened. spacesailor
  9. "CASA does not insure aircraft" But we do need insurance from some company. so is it cheaper for a Raa Jabiru ' or an equally appointed ' Vh jabiru ' , Seems a simple question . spacesailor
  10. " sub 80 klmts " Why not " sub 2litre engine capacity " !. ( sub 40 hp / 30KW ) When ' calculating wing area ' , are the ailerons & flaps . Taken into the wing area !. Simple to increase the ' flap/aileron ' surface. Instead of the wing 'per se' . spacesailor
  11. Except for " licensing " what is the difference between CASA & RaA . Insurance, any difference in the two agencies. Could CASA ' MAKE ' A loophole for any members willing to be under CASA. spacesailor
  12. I wasn't converting metrics to another system. I can't understand 0.18 of a Kilometre. On a " walking ap " ( Strava ) .or decimals of " kilometres per hour " . why not 'meters per second ' , it makes just as much sense . As " litres per bushel " , one is volume . The other, a farmer's " arm reach " around straw . What next a " peck " of picked plums in litres . Or ten kilohertz of concrete in a driveway . ( sound of. Truck unloading in Decibels ) . spacesailor
  13. The " Fairey rotodyne " solve that problem of too many parts . They put " ram-jets " on the rotor tips . Noisy but only for vertical take-off , then it became an " autogyro " . Design parameters " airport / city run " . spacesailor
  14. Or on my phone " 0.18 klmts at 1min.56 sec " . My morning jog . I had to ask what 0.18 klmtrs was = 180 mtrs .. Easy my foot . spacesailor PS. : I can no longer add-up a shopping list . As I used to when using £Sd . . I loose count halfway through
  15. Raa informs it's members . I got nothing regarding deregistering 10-1103 before or after it was removed. Raa has never informed me of alternative registration . This forum members. are the only people to even suggest, putting 10-1103 onto the 19- xxxx Register. ( OR VH Experimental Register ) . spacesailor
