  1. Yea big nuts kev. very dissapointed to find one broken on our jab.
  2. The numbers don't show engine defects found on the ground. These are the raa numbers, not the numbers casa would have been using when drafting . The ad that came out last week re the heads cracking revealed several that I know of.
  3. I beg to differ. The through bolts are still breaking .
  4. I have it on reasonably good authority that the meeting between CASA and Jab/ RAA went well for Jabiru. No details other than to say Jabiru feel " it could not have gone better for them" If this is true its good news for them ( and many of us) .
  5. Hahah...reckon you could handle the raw power of a Cherokee??
  6. What is interesting to me, is that the real issue and the driving force behind ANY regulatory move like this, is the safety implications. Ive heard gripes about costing this and that, and students not having a training aircraft etc, and yet here we are, supposedly all safety conscious pilots who uphold the ideals of airmanship and safety as our prime directive, and nobody has even mentioned the word safety in their rumblings. We all sprout such high morals and high standards of airmenship and safety UNTIL it hurts our pockets..Then the true motives and the true "spirit" of the aviator comes to the fore. We are all so busy watching the back account, and crying blue bloody murder on CASA, and not looking at the underlying safety message thats literally smacking us up the side the head. Anybody that has dealt with CASA would know exactly how serious a matter would need to be before they took this un precidented action against a company. I dont agree with the methods of CASA here, but the message is not new, and has not come lightly.
  7. Shazzaa!!!!! Ill dead set take you out there...hehe
  8. Choice of aeroplanes, sennneca, Piper lance, piper cherokee, cessna 172, 182, Jabiru Brumby and sportstar.
  9. Im in. Lets go..Tell her ill take her
  10. Perhaps CASA have a fix in mind and are right now, offering it up to Jab. Lets hope so.
  11. Who will you pass suggestions on to Nev?
  12. The RAA wrote to CASA about the engine failures. And now, a few months later are seeking suport form members to stop CASA in its un announced push to solve the issues?? Just because my ass is dumb, dont mean im a dumbass.. There is sooo much more happening here than meets the eye. And its been happening for months.
  13. Lets hope it doesnt come to that.
  14. Casa are responding to a high and increasing number of engine failures
  15. Casa are responding to a high and increasing number if engine failures.. POST EDITED AS IT DOES NOT ADD VALUE - MOD
  16. POST DOES NOT ADD VALUE - MOD
  17. Dont you mean the INACTION of a few? namely, the only people who could have stopped this....JABIRU!!!!.. Still blaming everyone else apart from those who are responsible.
  18. We as operators have needed YOUR suport for years Rod.. And calls have fallen on deaf ears.
  19. I can see lawsuits too, but not defamation.. More along the lines of consumer rights;)
  20. Sounds like they all have a good case against the manufacturer now hey? I feel for them, they were sold a lie. Poor buggas.
  21. POST DOES NOT ADD VALUE - MOD
  22. Its been coming for some time. Some of us have been trying to get the message across for years.
  23. I feel for the owners and the students, I really do. But they have one entity to blame for this, and it aint the RAA, it aint Maj or me. Its Jab. Thats it, end of story. Jab have had years to fix this.
  24. Great.. Finally. Action.
