Anyone would think that being so arrogant you are friends with Ian Baker. I believe he has an NZ forum so I think you should go and subscribe to that, you will get on well.
Haha!

Yeah, tell him Rogered Ramjet says, "Hi"!

They are good mates from way back.

Don't laugh, he has raised $1500 in two days on his forum in donations for his kids Christmas presents.

On the other side of the coin...

In addition to the questionable insurance standpoint, I aint letting nobody near my -7 except me.

Suspect that many owner-builders would be the same.

Hey settle down kids its only an online forum....


Based on the original poster having Australian origins asking for info about taking an RV for a spin for a bit of fun in Auckland, I assumed he is not likely to go to NZ and join a club or syndicate so my comments were entirely relevant.

There are good and bad experimental aircraft everywhere in the world and there are ways around hiring an experimental aircraft at your own risk
Do you know of a syndicate? I would be interested, I just need some more info...

Awwww I dunno about that, some of the ppruners like Forkie actually enjoy polling around in the Retard Vehicle -10, and so far FTDK, Chimbu Chuck, Chimbu Warrior, Pyro and a few others have had a go and I was never stressed.

I am working my way down through the Retard Vehicles - mastered the 10 and the 9, now I am looking to play with an 8!

Don't listen to one poster on here, he might be correct about what applies in Oz but he doesn't have his facts right about this side of the ditch.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, so far as I know there are none on line anywhere over here but there may well be a syndicate or owner who would be willing to let the right person fly their pride and joy. Take a look on the CAA website on this link.

CAA Aircraft Model Statistics

It lists the number of aircraft of each type and if you click on the Type name it opens up a page with all the details of each aircraft of that type including ownership details. You may find someone who can help you. Good luck

Thanks I've got a life.

Oh, I don't know about being arrogant, but if that means correcting bad information, then, I guess you must be right.

Ian Baker? Never heard of the guy, have to wonder how you got to know about him though. Why should I bother with his forum, there's plenty of arrogant people here.

A good mate of mine told me once that you can always tell an Aussie, BUT, you cannot tell him very much. I never believed him, the Aussies I know are good blokes, perhaps he was thinking of you.
