  1. ......oved out of the way as every one else pondered over just how much damage a light touch and go from an ultralight on a tiled roof can do......
  2. .......fight and a rush it's a Thruster a fair dinkum one too, not many original examples of these still around still flying, lets have a closer look then we'll have a party.......
  3. ......hit your head on so the blood in your hair helps keep the afore mentioned hair out of your eyes .......
  4. ......and was nearly hit by the falling vicpol hakalopter that was out of fuel due to the bullet holes in the fuel tanks (they use big bullets where this thing came from)......
  5. ......get about since they pulled his ticket for the low formation night flights. These flights were a very slight technical infringement of the rules. The argument went along the lines of being before sunset due to the "night sun" light on the Pol air hackelopter meaning it was still day light. The alleged flights took place after curfew when no people were about, as proven by chairman Dan's news promo {sorry news conference} stating that people were complying with the lock down rules so therefor the witness audience were not actually there. In the interests of safety the drunk bike owner at Young & Jacksons who also was not there will not ride his bike home without a light. The Thruster pilot did not have a light because there were no more bikes on the foot path outside the pub so he had to follow the Drifter close. In conclusion the several laps around the block of Swanson Bourke Elizabeth and Flinders streets were for practice to make the whole exercise safer and at at 10 feet it not so far to fall.......
  6. ......the curfew. The afore mentioned formation flight was carried out at night due to safety concerns. both aircraft were night rated and prepared for the job. The lead aircraft {Drifter} was fitted with a bicycle torch stolen from the parked bike at the front of the pub taped to the front of the pod, and the tail {Thruster} fitted with a red reflector stolen from a road sign and stuck to the rear of the fuel tank. .....
  7. Forgive me Turbs but how does that follow on from my brilliant lead in back to avref
  8. .....steer this NES back to aviation again by formation flying Thruster and Drifter up the center of Melbourne at 10 feet under the tram wires........
  9. ......but this was really only a con job to make it harder to trace the guilty. Blowing up the CASA inspectors car was just a tad naughty but the minor fact that not only was the inspector still in the car but also his assistant his adviser his secretary and his planner also. It would appear that CASA was a bit cross with it being exposed that not only loosing five dedicated staff but their four seat econobox was overloaded. That's right NES readers a CASA inspectors car more bums than seats but over MTOW. .......
  10. ........thruster by landing into wind which reduced the ground speed to zero then controlled the decent with power for a perfect vertical landing ......
  11. ......cussion is making it very hard {earth ref} to steer back to aviation....... Special report from Darraweit Guim regional airport, a visiting pilot queried why not shoot some of the kangaroos that make it hard to find a spot to land. And the answer is that beer is made from hops so we cannot shorten the supply line.
  12. .......then he woke up " with solution in hand " ......
  13. ......you also had to understand basic arithmetic because the cord has a mass of 1/2 kilo per M. Also the voltage drop using OHMS law where P=ExI and E=IxR . The R value will depend on the inductive load using power factor {dynamic}. Assuming 0.8 for an electric motor. So using some assumptions as follows For a single phase supply of 240volt 30 horsepower motor. 30 horsepower at 746 watts per hp is 22.38Kw. using our formula I =P/E gives us over 93 amps which is a lot for a 10 amp cord. You are about to crash and burn
  14. .....and it sucks and blows? Kind of like upgrading to a turbine. Now to the problem of finding enough power cord........
  15. Another point on the trusty old side valve, most of the combustion energy is expended trying to blow the head off the block not push the piston down.
  16. In other words a Thruster or Drifter you look between your knees 'coz thats where you are going. I heard it said that a Thruster pilot can throw his keys out at the moment the fan stops and from 5000 ft. will land exactly one aeroplane length past the keys. Howzat for thread drift ??? steering back to aviation !!!
  17. .....back as his mind returned to past posts and realized that the engine in a 1941 Ford Prefect is a side valve. About as powerful as a side valve Morry engine....... Side note does any NES reader remember why side valve engines are not all that suited to aviation??? ( captain I thought I would just chuck that one in for fun )
  18. Remembering that it is generally easier to get weight off the pilot than the aeroplane
  19. .......said aaargh what the f###ck was that {just like the mayor of Nagasaki back in the mid forties} {war ref.}........
  20. Ok now we have to face up to some people stretching the truth a tad. The refined readers of NES may well see through some poetic license. 1/ no aircraft noise in DG ? We have three airstrips in DG 2/ Catholic girls collage ? No secondary schools in DG 3/ Asphalt to crash on ? Only through roads in DG are asphalt 4/ 15yo tittering girls ? You might find one 15 yo 5/ Footpath ? Yeah right where? 6/ Going to the airport came across the saw mill The saw mill is the other way I could go on but I won't. Maybee I have been conned into making a response by some very clever people just baiting
  21. ....the industrial sized bunnies started to chew on the train coz they need the iron supplement to support their huge growth.....
  22. .....chuck in a few quid to help build a rail track. The train is still bogged to the guts in mud at the new rail terminal because trains are not so good without tracks....
  23. .....I came across this bluddy huge rabbit which knocked the bike over then proceeded to kick the proverbial crap out of anyone nearby........
  24. ......just realized that the 2:15 Boilnda train may have a problem 'cause there are no train tracks. And now looking up at this mother of all bunnies, it is possible that the idea of being conned may have been a bit hasty .......
  25. Further information here no sir they are definitely not cheap canvas shoes but are confirmed 100% cheap plastic
