I am yet to see an RAA aircraft with a P chart!

Rightio, well most things in Sched 8 are the things you'd really only need to do anyway.

Thanks DD, so it's basically just like a normal GA aircraft if you aren't the 'actual' builder, despite it being experimental cat.

Just a quick question that I could get answered calling my LAME but thought it'd be an interesting topic anyway. What is the legal implications of working on your aircraft that is in experimental category, but you have purchased it off the original owner? Thanks!

Good work Pud! Why y'all catch'em... I can never pronounce that place!!

Yeah indeed, why they don't have the ATIS on a VH frequency is beyond me. I haven't flown a RAA plane with an ADF yet! Oaky has ATIS on 124.3 from memory.

Would you have any pictures of it by any chance?

By the way, they cleared me direct over the field at 1000ft one day as I came out of Archerfield, that was pretty cool.

Hey! Yep in the 20nm ring it's a restricted area when they are active, unless under 1500ft which is only a Danger area. In the 30nm ring R620D doesn't apply till 4500. These area's aren't always active, but most week days they are, worth checking the NOTAMS or call up Bris Center to check. You get spoilt when you fly through there often with a clearance, and forget about all those that can't!

I'm happy to post a picture if you want to email it to me Rick, I'll PM you my email.

Dopped and painted Ceconite will last a surprisingly longtime though.

You could try this - http://www.ivfr.net/

Mine expire on the 31st of May, so I'm assuming most VTC/VNC's etc... will also - ERSA on the 8th of March. WAC's don't legally expire as such.

What aircraft you planning on using?

Well done Dave!

It's a hard one Ian, isn't it!! I want to support you in your 'dream' and goal, but at the same time it would be nice for the other members I think to have a solid foundation for a while, because as you know quite a few people whinge about the changes and or have difficulty in finding links etc... it's a hard line to draw - do you upset some for a better outcome eventually, or do you keep the majority happy by just staying like we are? I guess that's the million dollar question, is it not!? From a marketing point of view you would do the latter, but this site isn't about marketing, it's about helping others out and bringing the 'life' back into our aviation community. I would look at the pro's and con's of continued development, vs current status. Will there be a lose of member support with more changes, or will there be a greater influx of members if the site stayed as is for a while? Your well being and family need to take precedence over a website in my opinion (obviously that's none of my business, but something to think about). Will staying as is be of greater value to 'them' or would it be of greater value if you followed the dream and went that way? (finically, mentally, physically) At the end of the day it's the members that make a club, not the facilities. Sure one compliments the other, but do we build a mansion with a handful of residents or a campsite full of enthusiasts? I'm not saying the mansion will never go to full potential, but it's something to think about. Do what you know is best Ian, is all I can say. You need to be happy and content with yourself, be that building a mansion, or maintaining a thriving campsite.

Great stuff!

Much prefer 4/5 point myself.

Pretty chilling (pun not intended!) recording.

This is a guy in Southern Utah from another forum I'm on, that did a video of himself skiing in a M7 Maule the other day. By the way, I'm not encouraging people to try it!!

I blame my skippy log book cover.

We could get everyone on the far end with their aircraft and hold them on full throttle, might give you a bit of a headwind...

Oh dear, what a dramatic gramme... grammar issue!

That's plenty!! Could land twice in that distance!
