Jeez he'll be tired when he gets to takeoff speed.

The prop is technically clear...

This seems like a viable product - given they have $9b in pre orders for 2000 aircraft, the market thinks so anyway. Not a true electric as it uses a small turbine to recharge the battery. Home | Electra.aero WWW.ELECTRA.AERO

Beautiful aircraft. I love the look of the Ryans, especially polished aly.

Question for the brains trust. What type of tubing can be (or is generally) used for brake line - and where can I get it? As per the photos my U/c is off a Sav. There's a threaded fitting which looks to hold a tube about 6mm od, around 5mm I'd. Marking on the stub of tube I pulled off the cylinder says PA12 DIN 73378. It appears to have a flange at the end but I'm not sure if manufactured that way or formed by the clamping action. Been googling but no luck. Any thoughts?

Brilliant. Add a bit about Ian as the founder and how he runs the whole thing out of the goodness of his heart, and you could ship that straight to RA-AUS.

I think we need an essay.

I think there's been a bit of a problem with both this site and Social Australia for half the day, I don't think it's yours. And ignore Microsoft.

There's half a dozen Trump threads over in Social Australia, guys. Thanks Ian for taking those steps!

Wouldn't there be a rolling group of say 40-80yo's making the bulk of members? So as people fall off the perch on one end, more 40 / 50 / 60yo's get to a financial situation where they can start living a life long dream.

I reckon the skydivers hanging from their seatbelts were calling him f...... Luke.

How did he miss the panels behind but not go over the edge in front?

I assume there's still a fair amount of runway after the piano keys before you hit the sticky stuff. So if someone landed on it, they were landing very short.

Why hasn't every runway that takes RPT got this? https://australianaviation.com.au/2025/03/queenstown-completes-installation-of-aircraft-stopping-safety-beds/
