    other factors I know but in regards to registration .................... weight of engine (assuming this engine) ................ 163 kilos dry (info below) http://www.supermarineaircraft.com/options-v6-engine

    Apart from issues regarding the aircraft ............. on page 30 the coroner states that RA-Aus needs to implement better systems to identify aircraft that might not fit RA-Aus rego requirements (weight etc) - seems not many people were aware that the 544 kg weight limit was exceeded (plane weighed +750 kgs) ........................... RA-Aus relied on kg weight from the registration certificate Also RA-Aus management changed (page 31) (an allegation of change) what the RA-Aus investigator said - if RA-Aus ever edit an investigators findings - it must be noted somewhere in the RA-Aus report

    whats this about Kiwi's and sheep ? ....................... and for that matter I'm pacing out the local football field tonight - sheep are currently grazing on it - but I can't imagine its 0.70 km's long 'The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field'

    Kyle Comm - assuming that is $ 250 / month per space (not entire 'angar) - interested to know - thanks (= $ 57 / week - if there is demand a hangar seems a good investment)

    ..... best value & $ / hr dual by choosing $ 130 instead of $ 180 / hr dual does not mean you guaranteed of getting all the required value I'd say the instructor / student relationship between each is probably more important than the $ number (your relationship with the instructor is more important than the other way round (not being an instructor but I guess this is true)) - the club activity can be important to some but not to others I always have thought that when you learn - if things are not working out, it should be no big deal trying another instructor and seeing if things improve - you'll probably have a fair idea whether you getting value for money (irrespective of $) after a few hours dual (or any time really) ............ also after comparing notes with other students in other schools. You should not feel duty bound to stick with any school from go to woe

    Bruce Knowles raises a point to remember ........... owners shouldn't be suggesting jab owners are the cause of engine problems because of the way they do things .......... no one can make that generalisation (some owners might do the wrong thing - but not all - as with all aircaft / mechanics)

    Yes Jmbb74 - would like to hear that motor on the ground running and a run up - if you can - thanks
  17. johnm
    good point Col - a thorough pre flight would of revealed no wings and this story would not of made the papers
  18. johnm
    yes paper edition is the only way - never have bothered reading an electronic CASA mag Having said that everything seems to be going electronic ......................... it seems a 'race to the bottom' in costs savings these days it seems that shortly there will be no need for a footpath - just supply enough room for a dirty great big computer cable up and down the street In relation to voting - I've been a member for 7 years (guessing) and never voted - I have never seen any issue yet that requires my vote and am happy with the way things currently are (or turn out to be) - maybe in semi-retirement there will be time to ponder all the steady organisational argie bargie that can be read here. To the board members and voting members - keep the good work going

    yes school aircraft should get inside TBO parameters easy - you'd think I am just thinking about mountains of private use 912 engines - piles & piles of them because they never got enough hours on them but they got to the 12 or 15 year time limit - what fate is in store here ?
  21. johnm
    so there is a unlikely possibility ! that owners (particularly private use) could be told to throw a 912 away if it reaches TBO ? a much more expensive motor if you don't use the hours ? .............. is that's what being said here ?
