Re: PPL and or MPL training on a microlight registered 3 axi

Reviving an old thread from 2007...... Has the powers to be resolved this issue yet or is the process still the same as explained above as I am getting mixed messages in this regard?

Re: RAASA Experience? Good or Bad?

Agree with Nacho. Why pay to have the new printout done when the Instructor has already endorced your log-book?? Whether done annually or bi-annually doesn't make sense.

Just me thinking out loud....

Re: South Coast flying 25 April to 4th May 2014

Vernon,

Thanks for the headsup. It is a pity that all these small strips are going to ruins. It was nice going theren when it was maintained.....

Luckily there are numerous beaches around the same are that are smooth, long and and are 'maintained' on a daily basis by the waves.......

Re: Radio noise at high rpm...

Nicow Thanks for the advise but, I replaced the plugs less than 5 hours ago at 200 hours. However, during this time I replaced all the rubber grommets on the lead wires as well. Maybe there is a bad connection on one of the leads. I will check over the weekend. This is why I like this forum so much....
