    I’ve always heard Australia was amazing, but the one thing that’s always stood out, that has tainted my image of it and kept me from ever wanting to invest there, is what you said-overbearing autocratic leadership. I’ve lived all over the world, China, Africa, Europe, and I keep coming back to America (despite its flaws) as the best country to live in. Freedom from an overbearing government is what sets America apart. Still would love to visit Australia for pleasure.

    Hi Andrew,
    Great to see you making some progress on the Pipistrel. How is the CASA certification going? I had a thought. Why don't you do a collaboration with Scott Perdue? You could cover aircraft purchases, the dos and don'ts of purchasing, purchasing pitfalls, licensing, types of pilot licenses, certification of light planes and the process to achieve certification.
    I am sure it would make a great series and generate a lot of views.
    Good luck.

    • @damienmcbratney3197

      I think you are way to humble Andrew. I see you and Scott as peers. You collaborating with Scott just seems like a perfect fit. 4 x 4 and general aviation enthusiastists would benefit enormously from both of you working together.

    I totally forgot you had this aircraft. You are right. Government put in stupid rules just to prove someone did something.

  • @glenb4783
    @glenb4783 Год назад

    must be incredibly frustrating. I have had a Snus for 10 years now. After 45 years flying, I find the Sinus hard to beat for fun and versatility. when I first registered it I had a problem because I wanted to glide it and also have it night certified. I could have registered it 3 different ways to cover various aspects of flight. Still the same aircraft but because of bureaucracy, you can't cover everything under one registration. You are going to have great fun in it. Perhaps down the track you might want to look at Beringer brakes. The factory ones kept failing on me under certain conditions. All the best with it.

  • @richardsmith5249
    @richardsmith5249 Год назад

    This is good. I haven't exercised the privileges of my licence for more than 25 years, and I haven't owned an aircraft for more than 30, but I know implicitly that I could just jump into an Aerobat or a Jodel or an old Cherokee and simply fly...

    @andrewjones-productions Год назад

    This stifling bureaucracy trend is something prevalent in all so-called developed countries. Take Japan, my country of residence, and towing laws. Despite driving a Land Rover Discovery 5 3 litre diesel that has a towing capability of 3.5 tonnes, Japan's strict rules means that I am only allowed to tow just under 2 tonnes. The maximum allowed is 2 tonnes, regardless of whether it be a Jeep Wrangler, the new Defender or even the new Ineos Grenadier if it ever makes it to the Japanese market. I am no fan whatsoever of Donald Trump, but there is one thing that he said that I actually agreed with. That was when a new rule is made, 5(?) others should be deleted. Making new laws and regulations isn't necessarily a bad thing, but nobody bothers to ensure that previous regulations don't bog down the updated ones and just complicate things.
