    I read that the RV9 is an easier aircraft to operate...does the lower specifications (and I presume strength) equate to an easier build?

    First flight

    Love the paint job. It really looks good.

    No mate...No machine has done anything of its own will. Its humans that have caused the machines to do all of those things. Machines follow human orders. They only make mistakes if they are ordered to.

    I think a generation is here that will accept pilotless planes (or cares trains and the rest)...

    I'd call it even. The very vast majority of accidents are caused by humans.

    A good reason to take the human out of the equation...? ...and the cockpit?

    It looked like a Lightwing speed to me...

    Yes...I know it's a Blanik...the VIVAT was an L13 with staggered side by side seating....and Lombach motor I think...and conventional undercarriage...

    That looks very similar to the Vivat motor glider...but I have a feeling it isn't.

    Come on Keith...it isn't a secret. It was in the news wasn't it.

    Don't be so sure... our politicians bet on it...

    Paper copy still available??? Did all you gents who prefer a paper copy see this?
  14. winsor68
    I loved it...because I really love reading the magazine and it isn't available in newsagents any longer to non members. "They" tell you guys (you members) that it costs too much to make the mag available to the public in paper form...so maybe it is a plus for the organization because it is advertising that you will never otherwise get. The only down side I see...is that you will need a "decent" internet connection...and I am getting the feeling most don't. We are lucky here to have our NBN...even with it turned down it is performing wonderfully and reliably...I would have hated to try to read the online mag at our old ADSL2 average speeds. I imagine this will resolve itself without too much effort soon enough...even the loony right who voted against the NBN at the last election are learning the hard way and I am sure won't do it again...lol

    Do yourself a favour...Don't just buy one copy. Buy two because you are going to want to share this story. Good work Tim. I want to see a TV series of Jack Flyer now...

    That is not a "forecast"...its just more waffle...

    Here is an honest account of the story... "The action, led by members of the technical union Professionals Australia, has called on the Bureau of Meteorology forecasters to deny weather information to commercial flights carrying politicians to and from Canberra airport, provided safety is not compromised." http://www.news.com.au/national/bureau-of-meteorology-staff-may-refuse-to-give-weather-information-to-flights-carrying-politicians-into-canberra/story-fncynjr2-1227318622515

    That is a beautiful aircraft from an incredible family of aircraft... in my opinion. They just have that special character and look gorgeous in the air.
