  1. .....have the equivalent of a Telephone Box comnversation. This was difficult because the civvy OT had been so reliable. Could it be that he had been stitched up?, Could it be that he loaders had filled the boxes with the easily recognisable Kalgoolie sand? Or Could OT have been the victim of fowl play? As Turbo and Cappt locked OT in the Dunny they both agreed this wasn't like the Khyber which was an ANZAC operation where NZ Bob supplied stores like clockwork, but.........
  2. .........Raj, who had left his Kenworth at Moree and was flying back to India to become a fighter pilot. There were actually 387 others in blue singlets and shorts, all going home to become fighter pilots and there were Kenworths parked up the full length of the Newell and Bruce Highways. And that's not all; all the Roadhouses that served the munchy curry that gave you the runs on a long trips, leading to aboriginal site names being replaced by names like "Whiteass Pass" were gone to fight in the Indian Army. "Walruss Team 6" had been carefully selected, so Cappy and Turbo could be Joint 3 Star Generals, not required on the front line, and The Observation Officer was bull who given a weird looking grey thing and a pair of Chinese binoculars. bull was a natural of course because you only had to look at the dilapidated aircraft he flew to know he could keep anything flying. Sergeant CT was in charge of the Snipers, and RSM One Track was in charge of logistics, transport and purchasing. As WT6 left Australia ..........
  3. ........use at the Transport Legend Awards, but came in handy at the King's Coronation. In fact he carried two packs of business cards, one in each pocket, but the problem was remembering which card was which and there was that very embarrassing night at the 2024 Art Awards when he pulled out his humility card and gave it to the Governor. "Doo We keneau you? asked the Governor and Turbo had to pretend to be about to throw up and excused himself only to run into ...............
  4. Focus on how many are in RAA, many basic aircraft are popular in other countries. We have to focus on the ones that are legal to fly here.
  5. No point in silly trolling.
  6. No standards, no oversight, make your own decisions, at your own risk...............doesn't sound like the CASA I know.
  7. Flying in Australia legally, under 95.10 regulation?
  8. RAA aircraft are only allowed to fly if they can achieve the designated stall speed range in order that landing collisions will result in a lower level of damage/injuries. In this case the structure isn't going to be redesigned, tested and rebuilt to GA standards and stall speeds, so there's no rabbit hole there.
  9. It's not a liability argument, its very unlikely that an aircraft which has been grounded on safety grounds will be given a tick by another Administrator if they are given the original reasons yet here we've seen irrelevant documents posted suggesting it can be done.
  10. There's a lot of skipping around going on here; either a refused RAA Aircraft CAN be flown in SAAA or another category or it can't. The owner said 21 hours ago(these times will change as time goes on): "I believe the 95-10 Wing Loading" is not applicable to VH Experimental. Am I wrong?" 21 hours a document was posted: SAAA Controlled Document IppGen008-001 headed Convert RAAS amateur - built to VH Experimental. This was a general advice information paper which did not refer to cases such as where RAA has refused to approve/register and aicraft on safety grounds. There was no mention that an aircraft had been refused on safety grounds, no suggestion that this would be advised to SAAA/CASA. At 19 hours ago the owner said the advice which was being posted "does what is needed" Your advice, your responsibility. If CASA rejects this point blank, what are you going to tell the owner?
  11. Well the owner should be told that rather than be given a different story.
  12. So are you saying that if you have an aircraft rejected on the grounds of safety by Recreational Aviation Australia Ltd, you just take it to SAAA and they will register it?
  13. ...and impediment to smooth flight. This can be corrected by light ..................
  14. ....vibrations into the structural section of.......
  15. I think you've summed things up very well. What's going on certainly doesn't have much to do with RAA documentation.
