    The view above I expressed is a widely held view amongst Active aviators. NOT what COULD happen IF things get changed. Many of us have waited years HOPING and contributing. By the way, who's submitting to the current survey by CASA on Radio Use? This is one you should input. Mc Cormick left in 2014.. 11 years ago.. Warbirds are under VH exp.. Nev

    John McCormick was Director of Aviation Safety from Mar 2009 to 39Aug 2014. Nev

    We continue the trend started by the complete disaster (for us) ex RAAF and Airline management, entity, John McCormick who would not have a bar of the way things were done in the U/L movement at the time. At the time he arrived we were up amongst the most progressive in the world. He Couldn't (Or wouldn't) understand or tolerate it. We have gone downhill since particularly in the increasing paperwork and associated confusion and cost. IF you wish to build restore or alter a plane GO GA (VH) Experimental. Nev

    The torched shops are Mainly tobacco shops and in the past anti Chinese., particularly in Perth. It's bad to want a clampdown and harsh laws when the causes are complex. Police action is often MORE forceful than Justified too . Qld and the NT have gone on LAW and Order promises to increase the already harshest Laws in the Country with populist TOUGH as low as age 10. The problems are social ones of neglect and foetal alcohol syndrome etc and will make them worse and shape/ruin their whole lives at enormous cost to the community. The MEDIA beats it up and people think there is an easy fix and want it.. There IS NO easy fix. Nev

    Some may be able to afford that. RV's are marketed to Builders. SHE could also get a pilot to fly it too..Nev

    Making a wooden prop is not rocket science. Why should WE have to BUY stuff when we can make it. If you are doing it for yourself you might even do better job?. Wasn't making stuff and maintaining it your self, the Original Aim of this movement? Nev.

    I'd rather have the way laws are done here than under Benito Chrisafulli in Qld. United nations are concerned about that. , Doesn't do our International Reputation much good... Your last line. Just HOW could THAT have been prevented? I shudder to think what kind of action could be proposed. Nev

    There's nothing NEW in the Article The bit about the Duopoly is not relevant to the winding up at all.. Nev

    Would that stand a fact check? Nev

    Nice if that information had been notified by those who changed it? Nev

    I've never liked the Philosophy of the Ercoupe controls. Nev

    I just would have liked to know where the article was sourced from. Nev
  13. facthunter
    "Your" article makes it sound like a Conspiracy. Would you mind saying where it's from? Nev

    I've NEVER used the word "Eradicate" nor seen it as the Aim.. Their numbers are growing and they are turning up in more places than ever before, IF you wash your dishes at the riverbank they will be waiting by the third time.. When they want you they stay under and move fast. Last time I was up there two people got taken. One , a fisherman just got into the water briefly, to unsnag his line and the croc came all the way from the other side and that's it. The alligator river is misnamed. There never were any alligators up there. nev

    Getting eaten by one of the Most primitive creatures on the earth has a special fascination all of it's own. Johnson River crocs are not comparable with salty's where any encounter is usually fatal. Their populations are out of balance. You find them further south all the time. They do not MIX with HUMANS. Comparison with spiders and snakes is not really valid. You probably have them as well. Nev

    I don't mean to make a joke of you. It's just how it presented itself. I now have TWO dogs and they sit like that. and they also FLY out the door when I open it. My house has been LAB tested and FAILED, Keep up your contributions. Never apologise in such circumstances. It's a play on words. I couldn't PASS it, because it was too Punny. Gawd it must be something I ate. Nev

    Your TAIL? There's another cause possible. Dogs go round in circles before they settle down to level the grass Nev
  18. facthunter
    Exactly and why allow them in such numbers? They swim all the way to Timor . I've seem the salty's from miles up and now their numbers are a nuisance and threat to Life there.. There's no risk of them going extinct and they don't fear us at all. They are in PLAGUE proportions. They tried to eliminate the Water Buffalo, why not cull the croc's? Nev

    That also happens when your voice breaks.. There's also a thing known as a SALES PITCH. A CRICKET Pitch and "pitching" in . I wooden like an adjustable pitch wood prop. It's getting away from the simplicity. Even the Schneider Trophy Planes had fixed pitch props and they went much faster than anything we fly. Nev

    IF it's rotten, you usually DIE. "Never SMILE at a Crocodile. You can't get friendly with a Crocodile.........." Regarding cannibalism " Hell, I really hate my mother in Law's Guts." "Well just put them to one side, eat the rest and don't make a fuss" I know that's in bad taste.. but educational. Now. Back to topic. We are still near Darwin. A place where Different things are to be seen and experienced. One of the reasons people go there The weather there can be challenging and turbulent and the LIGHTNING is spectacular. best viewed from the ground. Not from a Plane. Nev

    No, it was professionally cooked. IF I'd caught it, I would have beaten the $#!t out of it to make sure it was dead.. Things taste like what they eat. Nev
  22. facthunter
    Were you looking for a TALE? Nev
  23. facthunter
    They taste like $# !t. Very disappointing. They eat dead stuff. Nev
  24. facthunter
    They will like you too, and you will taste ok even though you are more educated than their usual meal (Barramundi), which is a waste of talent. Bit of a twist and you get stuffed under a submerged log for a muddy Marinade. . Nev
