Mate forget the flying saucer, Jabawocky just had a major hard:oh: with the plane in the pic.

Looks like an RV-10:ok::ok:

I want, noooo NEED one of them!

Ouch! that's gotta hurt! (mainly the wallet) Makes you realise that if it was on fire there's no hope in hell of getting out alive.

A "go round" in an RV7 ?

One of your better landings Jaba?

[Chimbu chuckles]

I sit here looking at that photo and find myself pondering their only means of escape...when the crowd lifts the aircraft up enough to open that silly forward hinged canopy...imagine it happening at some of the remoter places in Oz...they'd find two skeletons a year or 6 later.

I also find myself pondering the thoughts of those proponents of putting the gear down when, in a retract aircraft, you're faced with the prospect of a forced landing on an unknown surface, especially when pondering the first link above showing them on their way over:uhoh:

I also find myself experiencing a warm fuzzy glow thinking about the two escape hatches built into my 38 year old Bo...the exact design of which has been on every Bo since the first in 1947.

Wouldn't have happened on a taildragger either...tricycle undercarriage being the ONLY design fault my Bo posseses:ok:

I just LOVE 'old' technology.:ok:

[Chimbu chuckles]

What is it with aircraft transparencies that people can't help but touch and leave fingerprints:{:}

Dual GPS too...must be a Dr:E

[Jabawocky]

RV-10 and Jabawocky have doors that open out! problem solved.:ok:

Not a fan of bubble canopy designs myself either.

J:ok:

Edit: One of my better landings........cheeky bugger!!! 3 out of 3 brilliant ones today. Even had the check Captain along for the check ride......yes chuck...one of those french light twin drivers!:E

[Jabawocky]

If you want to get around Beaudesert today......try a boat!:eek:

If only Gossy, in his great wisdom, hadn't caved in to the greenies but rather gone ahead and built the Wolfendene Dam - the water crisis in the SE would soon be a fading memory!

PS: Jaba - U making airborne posts? Didn't think the Jabawocky had that level of technology!

[Jabawocky]

Jabawocky is quite advanced you know:cool:

Also went for a bike ride too.....

Jaba, apparently global warming is to blame for the flood at your brother's back door... oops, sorry, wrong thread.:}

[ABX]

GSX-R 750?

Jaba, if you have done an advanced open water diving course then you and I have exactly the same hobbies! I used to ride a very fast GSX-R 750 with tuned race pipes and suspension kits. It even featured in Two Wheels while the previous owner had it. Bloody beautiful machine, great looker and a stunning performer. Ahhh, I miss it now Jaba!

Cheers.

[PyroTek]

Jabawocky, How the hell do you fly that thing?!

[MCKES]

Jaba wheres that strip?

[ABX]

Don't you worry Pyro, those things fly alright.

A bloke who looks like me, talks like me, thinks like me etc., had his up to 245 clicks one time a few years ago.

A very silly thing to do I might ad.:}

[OZBUSDRIVER]

If it is OK with you Jaba, I'll take the Banana in the background. My wrists get too sore riding those L models. Oooooooh its fun under power but mannoman hit the picks and you is pushing on your arms to stop that feeling of a light bum.

[Jabawocky]

MCKES

Its the bit that looks like a cricket pitch!!!:}

Would these help you.........

[MCKES]

Any other clues. There isn't another strip that comes in like a v ?

[Jabawocky]

There isn't another strip that comes in like a v ?

What THE??????

There is a strip and a taxi way........whats ya problem!

not that I have landed on it!:uhoh: Takes more skill than I have.....and a STOL a/c
J:ok:

[OZBUSDRIVER]

One end has a powerline so that cuts the length by about 200m? It only looks 200m long anyway. Trees right beside the strip tend to create gobs of shear. And what looks like a small dam in the overrun in the only direction of takeoff. Only aeroplane I have seen that would ever be able to operate out of a strip like that would be a Slepcev Storch.

[Chimbu chuckles]

Hmm...some pink blouses on here tonight...I'd take a Helio Courier in there just for fun.:ok:

[PyroTek]

in these situations, VTOL becomes extremely useful :D

V22 Osprey anyone? (If it is small enough to fit on that runway :P)

[chimbu warrior]

Jaba, would that strip be up near Palmwoods on the Sunshine COast? Owner got a 180?

[Dog One]

A Super Cub would handle it without any problems

[Jabawocky]

ABX....flies all right, far faster than this boy is skilled for! Its just for fun and sedate fun at that. Give me a Porsche GT3.....I will wring its neck, but not a bike!

Ozbusdriver The Kat in the background is a sacred bike, my brother restored it and would gladlt give up the Mrs and kids and house but never the Katana 1100.

As for the strip... I will not disclose where or who owns it(not Sunny Coast), only one or two PPRUNER's will even know it exists, but its a one way deal, in and out over the puddle. Trees and shear I hear you say.....the more the better, with a tail wind on approach you can use that to your advantage, and its direction suits that with the local breeze. Length is about 190m so a good guess. Owners a/c gets off the ground in less than 100m anyway and stops in 100m.

Chuck.....Reckon you could get your beloved Twotter in there:E

J:ok:

[sprocket check]

It's a strip designed to keep the undesirables out.

[OZBUSDRIVER]

Understand your brother, Jab! 'tis a long time since I slung a leg over a Katana. In its day it was THE bike! I desecrated one, turned it into a dragbike:{ I was young and stupid and they were cheap bikes with a killer motor. If only:{

Can you tell us what type uses that strip?

[Jabawocky]

OBD......one of these Rotax powered Savanah things.......

Had a go at them and they are a bloody amazing machine to fly........not real fast 80-90 knots but geeez they fly well:ok:

Mars perhaps?:uhoh:

Great photo's......have no idea where though!

J:ok:

[185skywagon]

Miraz,
The first photo has got to be between YBCV and YLRE, west of YBCK and east of Isisford. Developed gidgee country and channels of the Emmet Ck area.
Just can't place the strip at this stage.
The next one is around the Eulo Area and thhe 3rd looks like the country south of Hungerford and west of Wanaaring.

[Miraz]

*185* - Didn't think it would take you long - pretty much spot on :)

The scenery up your way was just stunning if slightly surreal...

Miraz,
1st photo in post 2305 is Terrick.
3rd photo in post 2308 has to be between Barcaldine and Emerald on the Great Divide/Drummond Range area.
It is the only place in our area I know where you get the red flat-top mesa type hills and the white sandstone type hills together.



Good photos. Looks a picture after all the rain up this way.

[Capt Fathom]

The last three in #2308 are:

Cradle Mountain
Lake Pedder (Strathgordon in mid/upper left edge of photo)
Gordon River

[Miraz]

*capt fathom* - two out of three - first guess is wrong

[VH-XXX]

Jeez Jaba, you've posted that photo 3 times now in this forum!

[PyroTek]

http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/525/jan08003qd2.jpg
Great Separation there, its no optical illusion, the wings are overlapping, looks pretty fun when flying over.

Now where is this? (easy one)

And now to fill up space....

[PyroTek]

correct, i made sure to get the QF planes in because i wanted to see if i could trick y'all. :P
the green taxiway edges give it away.

now lets try something harder. I don't think i could do this one if i wasn't the photographer.

Pyro, BA out of Majorca? (Or somewhere in Spain?)

[Capt Fathom]

RF00 is disqualified .. due to obvious local knowledge .. and posting outside his local forum!! :E

[PyroTek]

hahah yeah RF00 cheated and gave it away. he's right lol

i'm going to keep going until you guys can't guess it..
how about this one:

Beech super king air 350?

[PyroTek]

i said Beech King Air B200 first, and then changed to 350 after looking on airliners.net for similarities...
damn.. :P

[ABX]

That is a sexy looking aircraft!;)

[morno]

RFDS QLD has 4 of these in use. I'm pretty sure I've seen 2 others (saw them in Brisy with no paint other than white!), but don't appear to be flying with them yet.

The Collins Proline 21 Avionics Suite is a very very nice piece of kit.
Standard on your Beechcraft King Air 200's and 350's these days. I've done a couple of flights in one with the Proline 21, and the things it can do is amazing, :ok::ok:. Top marks to Rockwell Collins!

[Peter Fanelli]

That panel could also be a C90GTi, lets not get too picky here.

[Nivo]

My apologies for the quality, but seeing two together today I just had to post this for FTDK.

http://www.mirani.com.au/images/Aviation/IMAGE_003.jpg

Any takers as to where?

[kiwi chick]

ZK-NUT belonging to (Doug? Rob? met him at Omaka last year) ... and he bloody is too!

You seen him throw that thing around? AMAZING!


ZK-EES - my first real aerobatic flight was in this in 1994 (?) - the Pilot warned me that it would be better than sex. I have to say, I think he may have been right. But then again, I was only 21 at the time!


But I can't place it? Are they the coromandel hills in the background? Ie Matamata or Hamilton airfield? :ooh:



PS: ABX - yes it is isn't it?! ;)

[BEACH KING]

NIVO... Give me a hint, was it taken recently?

[Chimbu chuckles]

Better than sex in that machine kiwi chick?...its a single seater..unless solo is your thing of course;)

[Nivo]

Beach King,

Photo was taken yesterday (9/1/08) with dodgy phone camera. Does this help?

Nivo

[BEACH KING]

Sure does.. probably wrong, but I reckon it's Barcaldine

[ciscodiscocisco]

Guess this one.... where is this toilet located!!

I have a better idea..lets not:ugh:

Much Ado:rolleyes:

[Lasiorhinus]

Well, theres no frog in the toilet bowl, so that rules out Fitzroy Crossing.

[ABX]

Ya coulda cleaned it after you used it cisco!:D

[compressor stall]

That's way better than most I have seen outback. Must be in the big smoke that one!

[ABX]

Its obviously not down where you are stallie, theres no ice on the bowl!

[BEACH KING]

William Creek?

[Pseudonymn]

I have no idea where that is, but I wouldn't put my butt on it. Taking a squat behind a bush (no pun intended, mind outta the gutter) is highly preferable. :eek: :yuk: :eek:

[ciscodiscocisco]

hehehe it is quite hard to guess just the bowl i should off taken the picture of the outside of the toilet..... keep guessing next clue its in WA hehehehehehe:ugh:

[Jabawocky]

...........and to think, I go crook at my kids for TOILET HUMOUR....:ugh:

[slackie]

toolow....too easy...especially when I was flying on the of the aircraft in question on the day! So I won't let on if anyone else want to guess!! The gathering happens here on the first Sunday of each month (probably up until the nationals...or further if there's continued interest). P.S. NUT has been sold to the previous owner of EES (I believe the advert read "One careful lady owner...never rolled, bowled, or ar5eholed...well...maybe rolled once or twice!!"

[ciscodiscocisco]

HEHEHEHE WELL THAT TOILET IS LOCATED AT TJUNJUNJARRA.......... IN THE MIDDLE OF FRICKING NO WHERE:ugh:

[kiwi chick]

What toilet? I can't see a toilet?!

Chimbu.... :O ooops, hahaha, I certainly wasn't solo - I musta got the rego wrong! (scuttling off to check my log book now... )

But I'm pretty sure the pilot's name was Graeme Taylor, and at the time he was based in Gisborne (?). It was January 1994 at Napier, at the aero club's "open day". I sold the flights for him all day so he took me up to say thanks!! :ok:

(my partner at the time was the controller on duty too... so guess who got cleared for anything they wanted?!)

Shed any light on what it might have been? It was red... ;) and white.... ;)

[Towering Q]

Yeah Cisco....where has your toilet gone?

And the correct spelling is Tjuntjuntjarra.

From memory there are a pair of Raybans somewhere down inside that Longdrop.:ooh:

[ciscodiscocisco]

Towering Q......

Maybe those delightfully pigmentally enhanced people took it...... it was there last time i posted it lol..... and what raybans???

Wochit:ok:

Much Ado

[ciscodiscocisco]

Some people are just thick:rolleyes:

Getting the hint?

Much Ado.

[Nivo]

Beach King,

Sorry - not even close. Try another state further south.

Nivo

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

Nivo - Sorry, been off-line! Spent the last 3 days moving No. 2 son out of home and into paid employment - having just completed Mechanical Engineering.

I like the pic - have no idea where it is. Since I got back today I have been looking for one very similar that I thought I had - taken at YLRE. Can't find it - maybe Jaba has it!

PF - While I love the line "no, it is not a one-off aberration produced by letting a Bonanza and a Beech Travelair spend too many lonely nights together in a hangar", if its got a V-tail there is only one aeroplane I have any interest in - the V35B.

I am not into "classics", I am into going places, quickly, in comfort. The V35B does this nicely - at a price I can afford!

Picture 1 is at Toowoomba, looking towards the Rwy29 threshold, and that Bo is taxiing along the taxiway just beyond the main apron, :ok:.

No.2) Looks like Blackall

Bamaga/Injunoo, from the grassy knoll, near the terminal, some time during the wet season.

I Carl still the airport guy ?.

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

Bamaga/Inginoo it is! The pic was taken Nov, 2004. Sorry, don't know the aerodrome guy.

Dr :8

[Sarcs]

I thought it was Bamaga! But the fact there is a light tower now near where the Bo is, kind of threw me. I guess 2004 probaly predates the light tower?

Cheers Sarcs

[Cessna Master Beta]

Ok these are fairly old pictures which I have been meaning to post for some time. If anyone can tell where this is I will be surprised. The main object is the Auster which had a hard life and after the (third) crash in the top left it was retired to a well known museum. I know many of you would have walked past it. I won’t give a rego as it gives the game away if you Google search it. The gliding operations are a bit of a clue

TQ , SH and CD your out of the comp ..... plz don’t blow it

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

B*gger the Auster, they're not worth the bother!

What's the yellow thing? A Mooney motorglider?

Dr :8

[Hasherucf]

FTDK thats a Motor Falke motor glider. Its powered by a VW and with a name like that I think you could guess it's germany made ;-) The performance is no where near a Mooney....

moo!

Not sure where. Not a lot to go off

[White and Fluffy]

VH-XXX is that Tooradin?

[slackie]

Mate! I recon the MU2 is one of the coolest looking twins around...and quite misunderstood (which probably leads to it's rather bleak safety record). If I were looking for a personal twin to rocket around in then one of these would be near if not top of the list!

Just remember....engine out on departure....don't clean it all up!! Retract the flaps and you dump what little lift those C172 sized wings develop!!:eek:

[OZBUSDRIVER]

Yep, I reckon Tooradin as well. Saw that thing blast out of there last night.

[PLovett]

slackie

Have to agree with you. A couple of years ago that well respected poster here, gaunty, put up a link to a US publication on another topic. However, it also included a detailed flight test of the MU2 following a lot of criticism and court cases in the US.:ugh:

I was fascinated enough to download the article and print a copy. Basically, it did all that it was supposed to but did not suffer fools. You needed to know exactly what you were doing in an emergency and not follow some generic emergency procedure.:= I think the problem in Australian operations was ice and being too slow to recognise the problem which was often fatal. Again, a case for knowing what to do and when you have to do it.

Properly flown they are an impressive piece of kit with some stunning performance. I often think I would like to get my hands on one, with the proper training, which in Australia can be doubtful.

[629bus]

Hi, can someone please let me know how to attach some pics?

Option 1: Find a friend with a web site who will 'host' the picture for you They'll send you the URL for your picture so you can then post it.
or

Option 2: Use a photo-hosting site.

Photobucket (http://www.photobucket.com/) seems to be the best, very simple to use and it's free.
An 'offshoot' of Photobucket is TinyPic but as far as I can see this one does not have a facility to resize the image.

Once you've loaded your picture on the host, it will give you the URL - or you can use the procedure described above.

Photobucket also allows you to reduce the size of any pics which are too big for the PPRuNe web page.

NB: Some photo-hosting services host your pics but won't allow you to link to them from another site.

Size is important!

Picture size must not exceed 800x600 pixels MAXIMUM, to avoid the PPrune thread viewing window becoming too large.

You can see the size of any image (in Windows) by right-cliking on the image and selecting 'properties'.

There are many ways to resize images, and since most photogs have digicams now and these normally come with image handling programmes it should not present too much of an intellectual challenge to produce the correct size!

There are many Shareware image handling programmes plus lots of FREE downloadable ones. A simple 'Google' search or read of a computer magazine or two will produce plenty of ideas. There are also several FREE 'on-line' image re-sizing sites. Here are a few links for you:-

1 Izhuk.com

2 Resizeimage.4u2ges.com

3 Resize2mail.com

4 Online-image-resize.kategorie.cz

5 Graphicssoft.about.com

PLEASE NOTE that since these are FREE they do impose certain restrictions on file types and sizes and normally require you to permit their 'cookies' onto your machine.

Now to Post!:

Begin to post as normal.

Click the IMG button - one of the buttons above the text box. NB: Ensure you have something other than 'BASIC EDITOR' selected in your 'User CP'/'Edit Options'

An 'Input Box' will appear.

Copy the URL into the address line as instructed.

Click OK.

Add whatever text you wish and Submit.

At first, as with any new process involving computers, you'll probably go through some http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v144/Heliport/pc-crash.gif moments.


Common Problems:

No 'Image' icon etc on the 'Reply' screen:

Wrong 'Editor' mode selected.

Picture doesn't display:

Your post may show a link, not a picture - edit your post.

Check to see if 'URL' appears anywhere in the web address of the picture. If it's there at all, it will be there twice. Remove both.

(You've used information from the URL, but those letters should not appear in the final address or you'll get a link instead of a picture.)

You have IMG..../IMG around the image:

You have copied an IMG tag from Photobucket rather than the URL tag. To get rid of it, either edit out the excess [IMG] [/ IMG] in your post or replace the code using the URL tag.

Copyright claims etc

In PPrune, we don't allow pictures which have any commercial links embedded or attached. Please 'edit' these out.


As usual, a PM to your local 'mod' will hopefully result in assistance if you get stuck!

There were two that went in in WA. The one that you refer to would be a freight charter bieng piloted by a then very recently retired DOT Transport safety inspector/investigator who was very well known in WA. There was also a young pilot catching a ride to a new job up north on board.

Crashed just north of Meekatharra.

Properly flown they are an impressive piece of kit with some stunning performance. I often think I would like to get my hands on one, with the proper training, which in Australia can be doubtful.


For that you plan a visit to the US to spend some time with this man.


Reece is the nation's foremost authority on piloting MU2s. He has logged more than 33,000+ flight hours - 18,000+ in the Mitsubishi MU-2B.

Ensham coal mine, near Emerald Qld. Do I get the chocolate frog? ;)

DF.

[notmyC150v2]

Ensham it is. Dragline number 1 (the oldest one there).

Believe it or not it is sitting at "ground level" and not in one of the pits and with the water at that level it is about 8 metres deep.

One of the guys up there emailed me yesterday and said that there was 100,000 mega litres of water in the mine (approx) which is more than in most Qld dams. :eek::eek::eek:

I don't think they will be going back to work for a while yet.

[ABX]

Throws DF a chocky frog.:ok:

[Desert Flower]

I bet there is a Mine Manager feeling decidely uneasy here, with the Directors looking to get someone's guts for garters ! There will be plenty of buck passing going on with the Mine Planning Engineers in the firing line, or finding some consultant they can all crucify. It is beyond my belief that some of the millions of tons of overburden was not used to make the mine flood- proof. Other mining outfits take note!

I wonder if they will reopen that coal mine. If they do, what will it cost to get it operational again? There appear to be major earthworks needed, rebuilding roads and haul tracks, walls, levies etc., also the cost of fixing the machinery, pumping out the water, desilting the mine and making sure it is dry, stable and safe to get back into... quite an operation I suspect!

Thanks for the photos in the link DF, or should I say Mrs. Essum.:}

DF,
Good shots of the mine. I bet it would have been terrifying at ground level, just looking at the turbulence in the flow.
All gone from here at the moment, but the few showers around here, are making the locals nervous again.

Beach King and I were making twice/day checks on peak heights and locations, to help estimate what we would get in the 'ville.
Luckily everything seemed to flatten out and arrive in an orderly fashion.

The major concern was initially the gully that runs through town.
It came up quickly and put water into quite a few houses.

Not the same magnitude as Emerald though.

Drought? What drought!

The Burdekin Falls Dam is about 150% capacity, 3.5 m over the wall - that's about one Sydney Harbour a day going over the wall and out to sea.

Did you get that? ONE SYDNEY HARBOUR A DAY going over the wall!

Gotta go to Longreach tomorrow - will fly down the Thompson and take some pics.

[185skywagon]

Emerald region is about 127%

Latest I heard was Fairburn was at 150% capacity at the moment.
Would have been a wild old river if the dam wasn't there.
There appears to have absolutely torrential rain in the Nogoa and Belyando catchment. Anecdotal reports from graziers in that area, are only starting to come out now.

Hope you blokes in the SE get some rain in the BNE river catchment soon.

[ABX]

Yeah Hempy, summer showers here have given the grass a bit of a green tinge, but in reality it is still bluddy dry here. The weir is about 20% at the moment. I was water skiing with some mates last Thursday and we had to be very careful of the dead timber - its not the ones you can see that are the problem, its the branches just below the water that can do the real damage - to the boat and the skier! (Still great fun though!):ok:

Cooda, may we borrow it before you have it back? I reckon a few days of rain like the Queenslanders have had would top the storages up a little!

Took the FTDK into the Flightlevels for the first time enroute to YLRE today.

22 min climb to FL140. 2500/17.5", 45L/hr, 6 hrs endurance. 125 kts IAS - forgot to work out TAS, but I was getting 158 GS so I didn't care much.

Interestingly a nasal cannula would not maintain my O2 saturation above about 88% - had to use a mask - that kept my O2 saturation at 95%.

Sorry for all the jargon.
I would be interested in how you get the Garmin 296 to connect to your Laptop.
Also how has been your experience with Fugawi. Oziexplorer is complicated if you use all options but OK if just use the basics.
I have tried a PDA with Oziexplorer but bloody annoying/useless. Always seems to play up, usually at the most inconvenient time.

Would hate to be an unfit smoker as well.

When I was flying the medivac falcon jet around asia we was sat one day in Kathmandu (note the elevation) and the Doctor was explaining the oximeter to the patient (a young child we were evacuating to Singapore) while we waited for paperwork that would allow our departure. I had just come back from having a nail by the fence and said "Gissa look" and clipped it on my finger...it read 96 or 97%. Doctor said that can't be right your finger is dirty...so I took off one shoe and sock and clipped it to a toe (I was clowning around for the sake of the sick kiddie)...100%. That had her fecked...she was banging on the top of the box going "Nope...can't be" bang bang..."You're a smoker"....bang.:ok:

That's her, Doc Beng, on the left (my right) and Su Lin the Nurse...the med crew that flew with us about 90% of the time. Great people. This is taken at Taipei from memory. Beng had a coffee shop she owned on the side and bought great yummie snacks for enroute and brewed fantastic coffee in the galley.

This was taken climbing out from Karachi enroute to Quetta on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border...the Doc (different one...an excellent Sikh Doctor named Hanik Singh) has just come up and sat in the jumpseat and told me about the patient we were going to get...a Chinese Arms dealer who blew himself up showing the Pakis how something designed to go bang works. We flew him to Beijing via Dhaka and Kunming.

So where was the photo? Ah, you gotta love these journos -


I guess you had to contact to journaliar to see the pic.
Must have been a recent addition, I never saw such a van when I was up there but then that was a long time ago now.

Got there by plane, the place has significant aviation historical worth...:8

The most useful page in Jeppesen FliteDeck is the "Terminal" page, where all of the Departure, Arrival, Aerodrome and Approach plates are available, the last two being geo-referenced.

Of course all this is "built in" with the new G1000 equipped aircraft.

Moehene Dam?

[Peter Fanelli]

Aaah but who needs it, real men fly twin NDB approaches in thunderstorms to coastal airports from over the water with one ADF.

At night.

Moehne Dam it is!

Get the tissues out you Bonanza fans. Take off Friday 1630 hours at YWSL.

Prop now feathers.

Inboard left wing.

Rear spar inboard left wing.

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

Oops! Tell us more! What happened?

Dr :8

[OZBUSDRIVER]

Heavy landing? Wasn't there some TS action on Friday arvo out Sale way?

[Chimbu chuckles]

Stall on takeoff?

Engine developing significant power when the prop hit and Bos have a 'spirited' left wing drop when they stall.

[Stationair8]

Shows it as a F33a on the register-is that an aerobatic approved one?

[Brian Abraham]

Street talk is nose down trim on T/O, PIO due heavy back pressure on breaking ground and slammed down on nose taking out the nose wheel/strut. Strut found, but minus nose wheel which seems to have gone into orbit.

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

Ooooooh!

That would do it alright.

..... but its not like Bonanzas are heavy in the elevators like a C210. I am not going to try a full nose-down trim TO just to prove it to myself, but I suspect that if you just put two hands on the wheel and held it at the right nose attitude you could handle it.

I suspect broken spar = write-off!

Dr :8

[PyroTek]

thats a bit of a silly thing to do!
Don't the trim wheels in bonanzas have the little mark for 'takeoff'?

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

TO setting is generally "0"

Dr :8

[PyroTek]

that'd be right, could there be any reason to not have it on '0'?

(sorry, Student, just at the beginning of the long road.. or jetway)

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

+/- 1/2 at most

[185skywagon]

I have heard of nose up trim probs in Bo's due to lubber line intersecting the "U" on the trim indicator, making it look like neutral. Not down trim though.

[tinpis]

Six thumbs on each hand? :hmm:

[BEACH KING]

Mmmmmmm.... don't know what happened... but it sure looks expensive!!

I know there is a Maintenance outfit at W Sale with a good Beech reputation that can probably fix it.

[Kickatinalong]

The Thompson River is not in Western Qld
The one in WQ is the cleanest river in Australia it's the THOMSON RIVER,Why 'cause there is NO "P" in it.

[Buster Hyman]

Ultralights...I'd love to see more piccies of the Skyhawk. I built a model (plastic) or two of the Skyhawk as a wee lad. One of them was in that RAN livery & was probably the best I ever built. Drop tanks, deployed spoilers & all the detail below...I'd better stop, I'm getting all misty now....

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

KTL - you are of course correct. Terrible slip-up on my part.

The one in WQ is the cleanest river in Australia it's the THOMSON RIVER, Why 'cause there is NO "P" in it.

What it lacks in "P" it probably makes up in "Pee". Have made a few contributions myself over the years!

aw what a shame about the aircraft being written off, were they insured?

[Jabawocky]

OK some of you will recall me posting this cricket pitch as an airstrip

And many of you scoffed and wondered what on earth could operate out of such a short strip in among the trees and hills.........well without giving too much away, this might tell you the bird is back in the nest!

Good effort by the skipper!
