  1. That was my intention. Untill I was told I could never gain a RAA certificate. I still want to gain that certificate, but age is against it . Question : if you lose your " driving licence " because of age. Are you automatically stripped of your " flying certificate " . spacesailor
  2. These Hummel-Birds do look a lot better , as mr Hummel designed it. spacesailor Rob, see photo's previous .
  3. Because, those legs do bend easily, and that wear , plus the rusting on that area . Is a known problem . It's only a tiny aircraft , & I suspect the leg could be made just a little stronger. After a few years of having a ' training wheel ' at the front I was intending to change the ' Hummelbird ' to a conventional tail dagger, eliminating the nose wheel problem. spacesailor
  4. So ! Is that embrittlement ,such a bad thing , on the ( inner )straight piece of the front leg , made of ' cheap mild-steel ' . It seems a good thing to stiffen that piece of pipe up . A bit, instead of it being bendy. As well as "wear proofing " it a lot . It's all made up, so cannot put a better ( tenstile ) part in , then weld it to the forks . I have not made enquiries as to the pricing of said plating, ( for half the pipe length ). It could be out of my ' pensioner ' pocket money . spacesailor
  5. ' T ' panel. Inclinometer ' in the middle ' . I've haven't seen that one . Usually the Inclinometer is near the bottom of the panel . spacesailor
  6. Is there a ' set standard ' . spacesailor
  7. Just tell those ' weirdo's ' that the government , just puts it in your water . No'one cares . spacesailor
  8. Double ' nuts ' here . Two bodied " mp for the Seat of " Higgins " . spacesailor
  9. Now with a new name " Bristell Classic ". They also have an ' Electric trainer ' . The company should go far . spacesailor
  10. Thank you . One in a ( forum ), or hundreds. spacesailor
  11. And from " small beginnings ", an airline pilot could emerge. spacesailor
  12. Get smaller wings . LoL Mine . 6gs X 6gs . Just short of being 95-10- 1103 registered . spacesailor
  13. Then again . My Hummel-Bird doesn't fit " 95-10-1103 '' category either. It's wings are too small . Even through it was a " registered " aircraft . ( under AUF ) . V H experimental, or back to RAAus as a new registration , ' 95-19-whatever ' . I would swap for a ' 103 ' aircraft . To get away from " them who like to be gods ". spacesailor
  14. Maintenance. IF , you can fly with two cylinders. Your Maintenance is minimal. But . Electric is better. Maintenance is less than minimal. spacesailor
