    another option might be that some aero clubs have a preferred insurer (in other words the 'insurer' gets all the business - some provisos are that you are a member of that club) the aero club gets buying power - you might swing that one AvidSteve (get some club members on side - ................. an admin / aeronautical task for the future !)

    OK Asteve - when I had plane - these people insured it and were good (it had a training wheel up front though) give them a go ?

    probably telling you how to suck eggs ASteve ................... have you tried an insurance broker ?

    that's ridiculous - the 4 engined plane would glide twice as far as the 2 engined plane - its got twice as many engines - do themath

    don't know if this has been posted - could be applied to planes ? see link https://youtu.be/MNnB_50Z20I

    Some initiatives CASA now realises some ideas have not tracked as initially anticipated don’t work; work has identified thinking through the initial idea new dependencies and issues that require proposals to be re-sequenced and rescoped – it now seems bl@@dy obvious to CASA that this needs more work

    Danny, she wasn't a cop, she was only playing at being one. She was a county official, essentially a ranger, as Dan says, "equivalent to a dog catcher". 'similar to an animal control officer' ...................... please 😇

    my ruff understanding of 2 issues in this thread (NOT neccesarily related to the thread incident): 1. fuel tanks - an internal bladder had to be installed so if there was any tank rupture - the bladder fuel contents would be likely contained 2. Should Robinsons be flying in NZ video: mast bumping - the rotor head design of the Robinsons makes in possible for a must bump to occur (fast flying in turbulent conditions not recommended)

    I can remember flying to an airport about 200 miles away and about 30 miles out I heard a Qlink flight saying the met condition was CAVOK I didn't like the sound of CAVOK so diverted about 60 miles and sat there for 30 minutes then proceeded to intended destination - it was good flying weather ! ............................... (a little bit of paranoia can go a long way !) I know what CAVOK means - should i happen to hear it again

    as discussed before - why didn't the yanks just make DH Mosquitos ? - they could deliver 4000 lbs a lot safer for their aircrew faster, higher ? less people, fuel, motors ............. and there was still a big 'bang' half way in the journey

    BUT, you get the james bond music and no doubt the woman at the end of the movie Stealth would n't be part of the exercise - noise levels would be well over the top And, turning over hay to get it dried - there'd have to be cheaper methods

    2.2 pounds pounds = $ 3.86 Oz !

    I did n't realise W.A., the N.T. and Tasmania had put power on ........................... (sorry Can't help you - it shows you these systems are available though - I got hold of this because someone grabbed hold of an 11000 volt single line (over a roof - no one saw this line) - certain others did and worked around then - until the unlucky last never saw it)

    this one should give you power line mapping give you an idea anyway https://www.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=5a53f6f37db84158930f9909e4d30286

    there was 912 plane parked ........................ for a whole day the carb springs pulled the throttle in too full open the next 'spitfire' pilot that jumped in had no idea where the throttle was and you betcha - started 912 plane up ! narrowly missing people 912 plane climbed up a hangar wall - 912 plane was broken beyond repair no injuries to anyone - just a better understanding of prestart checks
