    E.F.A.T.O Engine Failure At Take Off It means just that..............at take off. Not 500 + ft, not at crosswind turn, not downwind, base or final, but At Take Off. I still can't understand why there is a debate on this subject when all Kev said was if you attempt to turn around at take off it will not end nicely for you.

    I think the cri-cri needs about an extra MTR of wing length to get the wing area right

    Its funny how us aviation enthusiasts can look at something that looks like an overgrown balsa model or in the case of a tube frame a mechano kit and call it a thing of beauty and craftsmanship, and yet when most of us show our wives/girlfriends/partners, all they see is a jumble of sticks and steel. I wont tell you what I say when my missus asks me how she looks after an hour of make up and hair do. PS..... my apologies to all those wonderful women out there, especially my wife as this post was sent in jest.

    Was speaking to Kev today after a training flight about this post and he asked me to mention that all his students learn to take off and land at Lynfield and all within the 20hr period. I for one wouldn't have it any other way and will most likely make it the home field for my own planes.

    All my training flights start and end there and it sure does look narrow when coming in on final. A powered approach is always used when landing at Lynfield. It makes for good practice on keeping to the centre line and really makes you use the rudder.

    It's all well and good to sit back and criticize a person , but unless we have been there and tried it ourselves then who are we to throw stones. Maybe we should just say thanks Wayne for your efforts and we hope the next to fill the position works as hard to get RAAUS rego's back on track.
