better than my reply by a un named want to be councillor I have to pay to play golf well my small minded political friend , I personally gave up chasing small balls with small bats when I left high school but if that's all your capable of I personally grew up years ago ! really makes you wonder with people like this making decisions which affect many people daily what hope do we have for our beloved aerodromes ?

hi kaz gliders as well ,there looking at relocating corowa council asked all hanger owners there aircraft registration last year of all aircraft hangered on the airfield no one knew or was told of the introduction of landing fees council was way too excited announcing there $900 odd k from the government grant from flood damage to up grade the main runway , makes me angry considering albury airport does not charge aircraft under 500 kg (my trike n passenger full still under) or raa registered aircraft ! pity I never fly in there or want too ,, I realize you have to pay your way in life but some times it is nice to have been told first or forewarned of the new fees not receive a bill in the mail ! makes matter worse you hear from a local resident they are approving a new building estate next door to the airfield ohhh the belittling politics of shires and there hidden agendas I can remember landing at Porepunkah years ago and had a hell of a north/north west cross wind so I decided to land down hill north direction only to be meet by an un happy resident of 3 years in the (southern corner) that was very up tight and up set I flew over his house above circuit height yet landed down hill , in the mist of his abuse and blood curdling manor I produced the correct map for this area and pointed to the map asking where was it indicated that his particular space of land was marked on the map as a NO FLY ZONE ? between that and a small verbal altercation I reminded him who was here first the airfield or him ? funniest thing is this nightmare still haunts a beautiful airfield to this day :( I hope this does not happen corowa way ? ps my edge x trike cost $200.00 a year landing fees but with the mass amount of aircraft leaving the potential $4 k a year revenue is prob around $2k now ?

hi every one not certain whats happening in your local area but our local airfield corowa nsw has now introduced landing fees upon us ! every aircraft hangered on our airfield has copped a bill and the local SHIRE is adamant they will be staying for good ,almost every aircraft resident has complained and some moved to other airfields but it now looks like more escalating cost to a sport only some can afford to do now days whats next in our sport ?????

I have flown both 3 axis and trikes and always return to trikes , there not every ones cup of tea ,but most people frown without trying ? most people tend to turn to trikes because of there short runway capability and low fuel burn (the edge x with 582 and wizard 2 wing uses around 12 ltrs a hr or less at 40-45 knots) and not expensive to maintain and can also be packed up onto a trailer and towed where ever or taken on holidays etc ,

jamel , i actually sent them an email and got a quote of around $3k to get one out here ,there also certified in the usa and could be registered here under lsa , they are also doing research on a slightly faster wing for the 582 i think the current one was 65 knot cruise , they are looking for a distrubutor or agent over here , i was happy to see some taking and researching more affordable trikes for normal wage earners , i wish there were more affordable models on the australian market ,, most seem to be around $60k t

another trike model to check out is the light sport north wing apache 582 strutless folding wing design not certain about quality compared to a revo but good to see some one designing and advancing more affordable models and hopefully a market also in australia ?

horrible for a trike pilot to wonder why or what happened ? if the spat came off and the aircraft flying normal wouldnt the spat travel backwards or one would think so with speed etc ? or did the spat actually strike the prop and took a chunk off a blade or 2 and vibration took them in ? i have heard stories of pilots loosing one or half a blade and there motors shaking out of there engine mounts,,,, would really wish findings where posted for everyone to learn from,,,

ian, if you could update your current planner i would be more than happy to subscribe and use it,i am certain many other members too for a minimal cost? the more who use it the cheaper it becomes for all of us? like your last voting poll on replacing aircraft can u do one one this subject? it would be great if you could put in departure and destination and press print and vice versa for return trip and carry it in your aircraft with your maps and gps, look forward to using this tool more regularly,, cheers graham

hi ian alot of us cannot afford or wish too purchase the correct program to do the correct required legal flight plane ,,, but is it worth say a small fee to members of this site to join or contribute towards an upgraded version? i personally have used your flight planner to double check my figures but i would love to use /join a version i could simply print out as a wac chart or vtc chart with departure to destination? if we spread the cost across members i am happy to pay my way,, cheers graham

i am happy t hear the pilot is okay,, pity about the gazelle she looked like she was well maintained
