    If for arguments sake the RAA 'went belly up', CASA would have no other choice but to take over the running of ultralight flying. 10 000 members and 3000 plus aircraft simply cannot be ignored.

    The Aviator magazine sells on average over 21 000 copies per month. I would advertise in that magazine.

    IMO this is the ugliest airplane I have seen, I read about it a few years ago in a magazine ( a real magazine not a electronic version ).

    Yup at a over inflated cost and GA guys dont have liability insurance forced on them. It is up to the individual to pay for it or not.

    IMO it shouldnt be about either lose the magazine or cop a extra $90 in yearly fees. It should be about " hey CASA, we have 10 000 members and 3000 aircraft and we are sick of paying through the nose every year to register and fly under aircraft WHEN GA do not have to pay jack $hit. Cough up some more money otherwise everyone will fly regardless.

    Before this thread gets side tracked. I agree what this bloke did was wrong especially in the circumstances it happened. Now i just want to add something, the big picture if you will and off thread. Wild cats are estimated to kill 75 million native species in Australia PER NIGHT according to the federal environmental minister Mr Greg Hunt. We have serious problems here with feral cats, dogs , pigs, buffalo ect. Just trying to add a different perspective.

    When I come home from my two week stint at work, I look forward to going into the office and unwrapping the two magazines that I receive in the mail. One is/was Sport Pilot and the other one is the SSAA monthly magazine. I realise that the Sporting Shooters Association is a lot bigger than the RAA with approx 169 228 members as of April 2015. But for the measily $83 it costs a year, members receive a excellent quality monthly magazine and 20 millionn public liability insurance when participating in shoot sports including hunting. When I was at work last week I read the electronic version of the May Sport Pilot. Then when I got home I looked at the hard copy addition that was waiting for me in the office. The hard copy is IMO 10 times better to read than the electronic version, and I wouldn't exactly call the magazine a ' luxury' as stated in the magazine in the President's report. Like I have said previously, if the RAA cannot run a surplus with the current membership fees, get more money from CASA. If the RAA went broke, do you guys seriously think that everybody overnight would stop flying because the RAA was no longer ? I would say nope.

    I'm not sure why it is called Unsealed but there is no nudity in it . What's up downunder also now has a free electronic magazine. I guess it is the way of the future.

    I have to admit, it does look like amateur hour going by the photos.

    The Campbell aero helmets are great, but you have to sell your first born to be able to afford one.

    Dam shame. I thought the productions rights ect were for sale a while back ? I could be thinking of the Sapphire though.

    Sounds good mate. You're west of the great divide, so you can basically do what you want.

    Err which Drifter ?
  20. dazza 38
    I'd tap that.
  21. dazza 38
    No worries, change the rules.
  22. dazza 38
    That just goes to show that there is NOT a level playing field in Australia when it comes to recreational aviation and there should be.
  23. dazza 38
    What is good for the goose is good for the gander. Since GA pilots and above do not need to be a member of any club or association to fly an aircraft, then neither should pilots wishing to fly an RAA aircraft.
