........it's now up in the orchard doing a good job as a bird scarer. The Hillmans disappeared off Australian highways and freeways after the cops were allowed to book drivers using the road at under 60 km/hr. The Hillmans had other problems coverting to aircraft. It wasn't the 51% rule because the owners only had to show the stack of invoices for parts, but ........

The air above is regularly decided by our State Tribunals so there are precedents under the relevant Acts, and they are searchable here: https://www.austlii.edu.au/databases.html From that link go to the relevant Tribunal and you'll find the case decisions which set the precedents.

....exposed the fact that the 1st one had not bothered to wait for a DRH mount from the supplier in Guinea Bisseau. The 1st one responded that since the 2nd one had made a calculation mistaking the weights for the balance hence the 12 foot tail, a mistake his 12 year old son pointed out before they attempted to take off, he was to blame for his own mistakes. The 2nd one refused to accept this, got in the car, a Hillman Hunter, and called into the AUF Office in Canberra where an official came out and ...........................................

Your problem Skippy is that you still haven't produced ANY laws. That would be a start. Then there is the matter of what is being discussed which is payment for using the property, which hasn't been addressed. Then there is the morality where the low lifes that cheat their way out of paying spoil it for the genuine users, and when costs aren't covered, it's an easy decision for an owner/council to find something that returns a profit like building houses or factories on the site.

Before talking about these things and going off the rails, better to get the legislation for your State and see what it says. There are plenty of Tribunal cases for precedents in Planning and building etc.

...unloaded in the men's shed and there was great discussion, and there were speeches from each one on how their modification to the simple Thruster was so much better, how to cut tubing (88 contributions) where to put the fuel tank (132 contributions) whether the Bunnings wheelbarrow tyres were better than the crap tyres from Airways Pine (284 contributions over 3 years) and the first one was ready for its test flight in a mere 60 months (the last five would never be finished despite their builders offering the most prolific contributions drawn from all over the world). Such was the level of innovation and skill in the AUF and the first two, interesting looking machines, lined up for their test flights............................................

A lot of different subjects here all rolled into one thread; DPP actions where there MAY be action taken IF there is evidence which COULD result in convictions and fines, but nothing happening, a few statements of who was at fault which were personal opinions. A second legal system the adversarial in front of a judge discussed, mixed in with the first process, when there may not be a second process, RAA Ltd attacked for not telling everyone (as the board of management would in the case of RAA Inc.) when in a limited company your positions are shareholders, so you might be told at the AGM etc. and a lot of stirring going on based on the same original material. These things take time to roll out.

What's happened to your old mate's school?

.....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 ........................

..........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.

.....n unofficial dumping point for Cummins and Detroit oil changes. Marky was suffering many bruises as the big filters clanked together in the smelly wash. They stood well back from the smell and tried to come up with a solution. Keen NESSERS may have noted that Turbo now has a part in Outback Truckers. He had to learn extra swear words and make sure something failed on every trip but it's big money when filming with coconut oil on your face to look like sweat.

.....seated and he was now hololering for help, his ample voice amplified even more by the deep shaft. Dusty O,Track quickly unconscionised the two occupants of the Patrol, but realising he was going to need three of them to pull Marky up the now stinking shaft, he told Marky to wait and then dragged the Patrol occupants back under the Patrol so he coud pretend to rescue them when they came to..........
