Isn’t that why we carry our whizz wheels with us to conver thingys to watsits

Brown is active, blue is neutral and green is earth, usually with a yellow stripe. That four core is probably for an ac system, fan or something else that needs a control wire. Disclaimer: but don’t play with it unless you have a ticket.

Is it a super mega fugly, I think Kevin b Wilson sung about it.😉

From initial pucs I was sulrised the cockpit was still together. The ground must slope away from.the runway, because I only saw the tail sticking up. Is the structure any stronger than normal in these like a race car cage?

It will be good the student will take away a good learning point from this and not have it happen ever again

I toyed with the idea of lpg for my Chrysler when I was young, fuel was 75c, and I thought it was a good idea to get lpg at around 35c. got the shock of my life when I seen Melbourne fuel prices on my first trip there as a driver, 3 and 4cents per litre. i never did go ahead with it, I bought a celica that got around for about a 1/4 of the Chrysler’s fuel use. when I moved to W.A. I had a problem with my charger, and found a guy near the ferry terminal who tuned the 2 barrel properly. I had the best fuel economy ever travelling over there 4500km to my destination.

Did you see how much the little discs of Elvis’s jet were selling for. Low numbered ones were in the thousands USD, cool but totally useless. I wanted to buy some aircraft related T shirts from Jimmy’s website but the postage was huge to Australia. might have to wait until my Uncle comes back again and have them shipped to him in Texas for free.

With those specs a real rich boys toy then. Who is going to govern the license to operate one. It is not a traditional aircraft, nor helicopter. If you buy one and hop in it and fly with no ticket and don’t kill your self or someone else will you be breaking the law.

Most of last years wheels, street machine, aircraft sales, mta journals and cas safety magazines are still in their plastic. ive been too busy moving house, moving business, trying to see grandson and everything else to read them. Along with needing glasses to see the small print of wrong colours over pics and backgrounds. When I do read I’d rather read a novel. Got though 4 on my 11 day trip to nz on the sea days. does anyone have spare time for sale or know where I can get some. FV I also have a plastic tub with all my old AUF mags still from the early 90s on. Several tubs with all others in them. they were too informative to throw out, but ho long o you keep them.

At least everyone is ok, on the ground and pilot. I would much rather a few nicks and scrapes than the other option. poor old plane is a bit worse for wear.

Both Marty and Regular person have answered some questions playing in my mind, I was not going to post but have thought about my comments before doings so as i do not know either party. I live in a rural area in the Mid North Coast hinterland. When I purchased my property i was supplied a council letter advising me of the fact the area is rural, you cannot complain about rural noises and operations. I already understood this being a country person, but i can see why they issue the letter with a lot of city dwellers purchasing in the area for holiday homes. My driveway adjacent neighbour has lived on his 10Acre lot for 40 years. He runs sheep for eating on his land, Kept his 2 concrete pumping trucks parked there (day Job) Plants a few crops of melons and Pumpkins on a patch that other neighbours let him used in return for keeping the area mowed, planted and tidy. He had a 2 acre lot he split off and gave away to a daughter for a dwelling, she sold and people built on it, no probs for 8 years. Then the small lot was sold again. New people from the blue mountains area bought it. Instagram Yoga teaching types from Brazil originally. Suddenly he is getting complaints about sheep noises, riding his quad too much (it is hilly and he has 1 leg (prosthetic for other), tractor noises, burning off complaints. To top it off they pushed the boundary fence over, because it spoilt the view of the creek for their yoga videos. A creek they wouldn't even see if my neighbour didn't keep the vines and scrub cleared back for his melon crop. They, being internet savvy, started petitioning the council about every complaint, and because the squeaky wheel minority always get greased they achieved getting our area rezoned residential- putting everyone's rates up, having the trucks removed from his property as no business could be conducted on the land- his employees and himself drove off at 6 every morning to work on construction sites not on his land. Along with creating extreme animosity among neighbours from calling the police if he lights a burn off pile on his own land, taking out restraining orders against him has made an unpleasant environment with an us against them type situation. This guy couldn't do enough to help when we bought our land, gave us 50,000 litres of water to help out when we first built from his tanks, helped moving big items, keeping an eye on things when we weren't there. I tell this story as a precautionary tale, sometimes the consequences of disputes or minor differences can cause everyone some form of grief. I wasn't sure from the original post who was there first. Have you bought cheap land in the country for an idyllic lifestyle only to find there is country noises. Has he become a newly minted pilot and taken up a hobby in the last week, or was he a pilot all along and you were not aware of it- did the people sell you the dwelling because of the runway and noise then failed to mention it. I assume you are not in the town boundary and if the house is off grid it would be newer than his dwelling and maybe wasn't there when he first laid out his landing area, because people didn't do that stuff years ago, they had power lines for power. This is not an attack on either party but points to ponder. Like Marty said, talk to him, if he is not a cowboy and you believe he safe in his operations see if he will take you up and conduct a landing or 2 (with the missus and kids not home of course). Perspective may add some insight to operations and such. Even though it is a "Kit plane", someone spent possibly 2000hrs assembling and finishing the aircraft. Don't picture a model aircraft that takes a weekend or two to assemble with glue and rubber bands. I own a similar aircraft and they are sturdy, reliable , proven and perform well at slow speed and mine has 2 stroke under 600cc motor. You never know you might become friends, A friend is far more better value than a neighbour you hate with a passion and less heartburn.

Added new pictures and details on TTIS, POH Specs added.

Too close for comfort, a good go around executed. You would think flying a biz jet you would have better comprehension of instructions from ATC. Acted more like an out in the booneys weekender having a crack at the big smoke.

Maybe the big fire burning the fuselage up might help.

I watched this the day it happened and was surprised that everyone getting off had their back packs and jackets. where was the leave all you belongings behind and exit the aircraft quickly.
