Prob only 2 getting things finalised with a few changes and test runs.

It does look like it's as simple as he was distracted and thought the far wall was Cowan point and turned left, realised it, and tried to turn back around. You would think that so soon after lifting off a few of the Pax had videos going that will be recovered. "Sources of recorded information" is on their investigation list. Oscar would know better I guess, but sadly looks like he had the option and room to land again, then turn it around and go again?

Get yourself up to Raytol and at least have a good look at a Morgan, he's got the Vampires there too. They are very flexible in build spec and I should have mentioned it before hence why I am mentioning it again, might be one of the most crashworthy planes around, super strong. I like the idea of the Cougar 4 seater but as a 2 seat only with a bit of baggage space, this one is Viking powered, maybe contact the owner ..

In case you're wondering, I have ordered a bit of stuff and no luck so far. I am a bit worried now because it's almost Chinese New Year (Feb 16th) and the bar stands don't want to do anything leading up to then, and for about 2 weeks after. I have been caught out a few times with this situation. i am having a terrible time getting a new stock of 6061 sheet as well, I only want a Tonne this time around, but it's hard to get a factory to make less than 5 Tonne min order, especially just before Chinese New Year as mentioned.

Only the World's 3rd most popular (I think, behind Cessna and Vans) light aircraft in modern times, and number one in sub 600kgs, the Zenith range. Speaking of Vans, has the OP looked at the Vans range, maybe there's something there suitable? Marilyn Manson? Ewww....

Thing with the Morgan now is Raytol looks like an improved service and support as well.

Looks like a baseball cap to me. ... and no Sollie jokes yet either, disappointed.

"Subtle gains" is correct, still there has been no real ground made in terms of weight reduction, and the way that numbers of American and Chinese are spending billions on opening new factories to produce lithium batteries as we know them know now, then the presumption is their own experts also don't believe there's anything new 'just around the corner' as is oft reported.

I have the same problem now after eating Sichuan spicy food for so many years. I'll go along with that, have tried various Indian places in different countries and always leave disappointed. By Greek food of course you mean Melbourne fish n chips! Yum! Just a plug for our close friends who run this lot.... Welcome to China Chilli This is as genuine Sichuan food as you can get. They are from my home town, the cooks are also local (they stole 5 from one 5 star Chengdu hotel!), everything that can possibly be bought from here is, condiments, spices, cat meat, cookware, furniture, etc.

Because that's the shape that worked. When I was a kid I knew the best shape and sized stone for skipping across water without any science foundation, I just knew from throwing lots of them.

.skp file you mean. .skb is an automatic backup file that needs to be renamed to .skp

Get over it, there is no school nearby. .. only that Puppy and Kitten Farm.

I used to like our country shows where you would often have a guy demonstrate a boomerang, and of course whip cracking. We got the occasional plastic one for Xmas as kids. No one has mentioned that famous Australian colloquialism yet, of when you borrow something; "... and remember, it's a bloody boomerang!".

It took me a second look, but I seen wat ya dun there, clever!

Sadly I see some highly experienced pilots die because they simply didn't have a choice of the terrain they were flying over/had to contend with, so a chute is still the best option in that circumstance.

Wish them luck but a craft traveling at 15kms per minute at an unknown height, and when they only think they know the possible direction, makes the chances pretty slim of knowing where it went in. Anyway, no find no fee I believe, so it's up to them.

Take-off abandoned on Perth-bound Qantas flight Take-off abandoned on Perth-bound Qantas flight QF577 Passengers on a Perth-bound Qantas flight faced five-hour delays after the pilot abandoned take-off at the eleventh hour this afternoon. A Qantas spokesperson confirmed a steering issue on flight QF577 from Sydney to Perth resulted in the pilot abandoning take-off about 2.17pm (AET). One passenger described the plane slewing left violently, then right and then shuddering as the take-off was aborted. But fellow passenger Jeremy Jones says that description is exaggerated. “I was on board and the plane tugged left as it accelerated — certainly not violently,” he said. “It then straightened before the pilot took power off. The shuddering was the brakes being applied.

Well so far a number of things have gone right this year, including a new Grandson, and important to you guys, another business project I have been involved in has started to come good which means I have some cash freed up and time to get back into the plane.

Well the fat lady has sung and Toby came in 3rd, an extremely respectable result, but ... For those who don't know, Toby turned up the wrong river bed 4 or 5 days ago, and lost 50 minutes. He finished less than 30 minutes behind. Still he has sealed his place as one of the World's great Rally riders, maybe next year!

Nah, laughing all the way Mate. You asked for impressions and I gave you my John Wayne, the joke may have been missed

I have no issue sending the molds back over eventually, Ray is probably the best choice to receive them, I just want to get a few pulls from them first and make some bucks of mine own starting with them as a base.

You sound skint, I'll send you a hanger, it's on me. Would you prefer wooden or plastic?

No, Australia can not continue 'quite nicely', I'm not sure where you get your figures from, I take mine from the Governments themselves and known factual reporting institutions, not from Vegan Green Weekly. Australia, number 4 in the World for coal, isn't even in the top ten for Natural Gas, and is by a mile the most expensive of those in front, yeah, good luck with that. Note that China, Australia's largest coal buyer, is going to gas in a big way, and no increase from Australia as they are finding their own, and about to start large imports from Russia, as well as new access to other Euro/ME countries. Of course we could discuss Australia's open arms to fracking for gas .... not. Wait, are we heading to severe weather patterns changing that will severely disrupt food production due to climate change or not? Increased technology sales? Can't see it at the rate Asia and India are expanding in those areas. Australia is outpricing itself as other countries are seeing the benefits of foreign students, New Zealand for example who have grown their intake by 50% in the last 5 years, who have less stringent entry restrictions, especially for carers/parents, and cheaper living costs. When, like South Australia, the costs in Oz continue to go up with renewables, you think the use of even more expensive electricity making everything in turn more expensive, is going to increase our student imports, and foodstuff exports do you? Oh cool, thanks for your support. it's not the cost of installation by the way, it's getting the power to your home and maintaining it, is what the issue is. Coal you just throw on a vehicle and take it to the convenient local, and it works at night too, also cloudy days. Uses far less Windex too. Oh, and I caught an intercity bus today, CNC (compressed natural gas) powered, and CNC powered taxis at both ends, because I'm always doing my part. You're welcome.

Indeed, have no issue with it, I was merely pointing out it's a very expensive aircraft.
