.....plan to build a Thruster that actually looked like an aircraft rather than an open-air long drop dunny. They learned how to weld, and the group visits to Bunnings gave them knowledge of the difference between a bolt and a screw. Some picked this up quickly but it was obvious that others had their minds on different things. The first thing they bought was ........................

Well it seems some on here know the secret.

..........major problems in the past where this "easy come/easy go" industry began to clog W roads with unroadworthy and unsafe trucks known as GBTs or Gold Bullion Trucks where dirt was shovelled in and the gold would be smelted on the spot. They were allowd to be registered as DG Trucks (Dangerous Goods) trucks the same as Fuel Tankers and had to carry the same placarding, including the owners name. One nororious GBT pulled over by the W Highway Patrol had a placard stolen from the Kalgoorlie strip reading "For a Good Time, phone Rosie on 0342 223 123." Here's another GBT stopped by Highway Patrol - quite an advanced vehicle for W, and an example for Queensland to follow to improve their .................

Recreational flying is freedom, there are multiple landmarks all over the eastern states. What's wrong with leaving a flight at home and making phone calls?

An alternative is to choose non airfield check and turn points. Throughout western NSW grain silos appear like clockwork, and so on, and you eliminate any half-asleep, careless or just plain wrong local aircraft.

Victoria; the hidden gem; still sand eater and riverina rat free! Don't get the CHOP! Buy Turbine Machettes! only six left!

You probably should have stopped the change to RAA Ltd. There may be plenty of difficulties getting inside RAA Ltd from the outside. A Special General Meeting (if allowed under the RAA Ltd Constitution) will be a different animal to an SGM under the Incorporated Association ACT Legislation, so I'd start looking at that aspect first. Also, in terms of dollars, what the Coroner/DPP do will be quite different to what a Public Liability Lawyer might do, so it would be smart to get some advice before rushing in.

....civil servant types with a high percentage "Diversity-centric" You meet them in the Casino "Sorry Sir; I said no more bets", on the road "Show me your licence, driver", in the upmarket restaurants "XXXX off!!!", on the water "YOU XXXX!!!"; Turbo always felt exhausted after a business trip to Perth even at the departure lounge; "Your flight's at gate 720, half a kilometer THAT way and it's leaving in four minutes!" It's always a pleasure t come back inot Tullamarine to be pampered, helped with your luggage and ......

When the road across the Nullabor was dirt, there were news reports of families blockaging the road and bring cars to a stop under threat of spears, collecting their own "entry" tax. Years later a couplle of old tuck salesmen told the story of how they were delivering two new Atkinson Prime Movers to Perth bobtail. They were travelling flat out, line astern with the second one just ahead of the slipstream of dust when up ahead Morton steps out into the middle for the road with his spears ready for a big collect. The trucks didn't slow down and didn't move and the second driver said he heard the rattle of a spear on the fuel tank.

Nothing to do with an aviation forum; it was a direct response to the quote above it.

LPG was not able to continue in the vehicle industry because nobody could find a way of making it meet the increasingly lower Australian Design Rules on emissions. The ADR system does allow existing vehicles to operate for the rest of their lives as long as someone keeps producing LPG.

No, it's because we don't leach off Governments but spend our own money, get our own patents, research our own markets, research the supply infrastructure (I was hired to research Australia's Urea (AdBlue) network and then make big money getting a market advantage.) The company that makes the finished product I showed a few days ago spends billions of dollars per year on research so will not miss the $75 million the Australian government was providing for ALL manufacturers and potential manufacturers. The people on this site squeal when there is an accident aircraft labelled "Cessna" but when they are discussing our Industry they don't take the same care to identify the sectors of the industry.
