Congrats Yenn.

Just watch yourself. Many men have been brought undone by jealous starlets.

I know the posts about the movie were a while ago, but I just caught up with this thread.

Great photos by Arnold Cohen of the making of "On a Wing and a Prayer" here.

Also (so as not to start a sentence with "And"), let's hear no more talk of piracy.

You can buy the film here for $35.

I think solonoid is the singular of haemorrhoids.

I replaced the standard Jab one with a Cole-Hersee unit. It now starts first go even when it's minus 7 degrees.

Finally! An amusing and insightful narrative in this section of the forum!

With the added bonus of being written in English.

You've made my day.

The security issue I discovered after looking into Airsick's post has been fixed by Bas already.

Airsick's link has been restored. Read it and vote for him (personal view and not endorsed by this website).

The link is available without logging in by design (and by limitation of WordPress). The other issue was more serious so I hid the link which might have exposed it.

Normal service has been resumed......

There are a couple of other Dragonflys you missed:

There's a Cessna Dragonfly at Temora.

How about Ladybird or Ladybug?

Or Damselfly is closely related to Dragonfly.

Zut alors Kaz. You had me thinking my French must be crap.

I thought you said "this is my French philosophy song. How ya going?"

But that would be nonsense.

I've pulled all the posts about this engine in the ICP thread and put them into a new thread here.

re the baloon - what interest me is the 4 extremities either side ............ 8 total - wondering if they might be ballast and valves on the tips (tips I said) for ballast control ?great looking aircraft all the same

It's to celebrate Canberra's centenary. We just wanted to say "thanks for the mammaries".

I vote you've killed this thread.

Closed.

Moderation is kept to a minimum in the funnies section. People come here forewarned and take what they get.

This laissez-fairiness must not spill into other sections though.

Consider the humour section your pants.

Keep it in them.

Guys, this thread has not been our finest example of forum participation.

I'm guessing you were joking Dazza, but the comment added even less value than some of the other bickering and defensive retorts, so I've hidden yours and 2 responses quoting it.

Let's respect each other, and other cultures, a bit more huh?

What is the button for?

On an iPad, you only have to tap the top border to scroll to the top of a page.

On my PC I use a mouse gesture or <Ctrl><Home>.

Nice one H.

Call Garry Morgan.

He makes excellent canopies.

It certainly is fast.

The next page comes up before the mouse click reaches my ears.

Well done on a painless transition.

Google is your friend.

and new drive types of SSD (Stainless Steel Drives)

Not much call for rust-free disks.

No moving parts on SSD = no problem with rust.

That's not the way it came across. From someone I thought I knew too.

Good to know though.

Still - hasn't happened anywhere else.

Not me. I was made to feel most unwelcome last time.

I was even told I couldn't go airside during the flying display because I was only RAA.

Had a long way to fly and had to be ready to leave when the Roulettes were done, so talked my way out.

Spent 1.5 hours taxiing. Kept telling me maybe in a minute. No wait shut down again. OK now. No wait.

Got to watch the Roulettes from the holding point though.

Pass.

3 vids (1 per post) on this 'ere iPad.

+1 for your use of "than".

Old dog, new trick.

And they're both free to try.

I was talking to the AvPlan lady on the weekend. They are in friendly competition and that means we all benefit.

I still prefer OzR though - but I really like the way the rain radar overlays on the map in AvPlan.

Hi guys.

Sorry - been up to my ears in sand, aggregate and cement all day - making up for Thurs - Sun at Temora.

Top weekend.

Thanks for the thoughts. I'll be making a mission statement when I'm not drunk (tonight was basketball night and we needed to make sure we go into the grand final next week undefeated).

As Planey pointed out (real sorry I didn't make more time to talk to you at Wedderburn), mine is not a Sierra. It's the 4 cyl rag and tube Cheetah version, but has still got me to Monto for every event, and other far flung destinations.

Basically, I'm back and happy to help make this site better.

I especially want to tackle the issue where people feel they've been jumped on with a post, and decide to never post again.

Talk amongst yourselves and I'll post more about it when my brain is working - or when I'm getting paid to browse.

Here's some of Wayne at Evan's Head 2010 doing his ribbon cut routine, then picking the pieces off.

RIP Wayne.
