    I feel it’s time to take up sailing or some other less regulated pastime. This whole mess will take a generation or two to resolve, that’s assuming it doesn’t kill off Sport aviation altogether in the mean time.

    The airlines are able to increase / decrease the MTOW in some of their aircraft types simply by changing a placard. This alters the charges by the airport operators, the airlines only need higher weights for long haul sectors and lighter ones for domestic ops. There’s a precedent worth investigating.

    Great concept for GA engineers, but they’re a dying breed thanks to CASAs regulation reform.

    Tongue firmly in cheek!! You cant tell the masses this isn’t going to be considered until the next round of reg’s become effective, then turn around and tell us it’s all good now.

    Excellent news, when does the 760kg take effect?
  6. Roundsounds
    slb, what’s the source of this info re the increase in MTOW?

    F1 Rocket?

    Or get a motor glider, you do a simple CTA endorsement and away you go. No medical, no PPL, very simple - just like it should be for RAAus.

    I wonder why they don’t go near the capitol cities?

    I’ve had two CO events due leaking exhaust systems, even with the heater off gasses can make it into the Cabin. I had the LAME disconnect the scat hose between the exhaust muff and Cabin heat inlet and vent the hot air overboard. Trust me, you’re way better off rugging up in sensible clothing. Not nasty synthetic materials like nylon, but material to provide best fire survival properties and gloves, scarf etc.

    Spacewalker fitted with a Rotec Radial engine.

    Looks more like a Baby Lakes, fin/rudder not classic Pitts shape.

    There are aspects that look like Maule (fun/rudder, Wing tips, struts).

    This video might help too?

    Density altitude is simply a way of describing the density of air under current conditions. It takes into account the two factors affecting density, namely: - pressure, which is affected by elevation and changes in the atmosphere (high/Low pressure patterns as you’d see in weather reports). - temperature. After correcting for pressure and temperature we express the result as a density altitude, which corresponds to the density of air in a standard atmosphere. Aircraft performance is then calculated in terms of this standard atmosphere.

    Procaer F.15A Picchio?

    My dad flew a Metal Sokol, he said it was a nice aeroplane to fly and couldn’t feel the difference with the reverse tricycle gear. It had a supercharger you could select on/off manually.

    I retract the Messerschmitt and Bucker. It’s a Mráz Sokol of some sort. M1D ?
  23. Roundsounds
    A Bucker or Messerschmitt?

    Looks like it’s fitted with a Walter engine, a Zlin?

    Sai Machetti of some sort?
