CT9000

.......differing opinions may polarize { P Brock ref} various positions on the benefits of such add on devices and may even upset the sponsors.......

Captain you are a master at shifting gears but please don't drop me in the proverbial fecal matter. I get myself into enough trouble offending people on my own. So back to NES .....but at least there are no Morry side valve engines involved. The upgrade to Nissan 1200 engines {even by a con job} must be an improvement in reliability. The fake turbo probably adds a few horsepower as well. Another thought just came up !!!!! we need to add one of those whistle thingys as well to complete the look......

.......also maybeee think about that chrome over plastic lookalike turbo hanging on the side......

.....should we trust those wonderful trustworthy people that caused the shortage of the blue / grey paint dye when they painted the Haval and Evo52 engines with the new Nissan 1200 stickers on top in the hope that this mostly honest sort of deceptive idea might somehow improve the reliability of the afore mentioned powerplants........

....things as well like Trump cards {gambling ref} and the famous 56 card decks {another gambling ref} popular with fine decent up standing honest card sharks ..... sorry card players.....

.....the state govermut will be deprived of significant amounts of funding 'cause the revenue collectors can no longer hand out tickets under the hoon legislation....

....of quiet contemplation as the vicpol officer was writing tickets out, this will probably be still cheaper than the landing fees at the nearby other airfields ........

.......a lot of houses on the runway. It appears that the twenty year old ERSA may not have the up to date information...... Side note' Geelong airport closed a long time ago.

......can stay out of trouble in Tassie by not laughing and calling the locals V8's {two heads}......

.....whole spirit of a side valve engine, the head is more or less flat not like that ohv thingy......

........then the realization hit home as they looked at the side valve Morrry engine, you bluddey cheat. That's a Datsun 1200 engine, no wonder you get more power out of it than any one else in the world. Yes the super charger pushed the old Morry a bit hard, pushed the pistons into the sump and blew the head off the block, but a Datsun engine with a Morry badge on top?? ......

......significant quantities of red cordial....... I realize that I am in the sin bin but I couldn't help it

I hear you loud and clear Captain. I will pull my head in now and stand in the corner/

.....even contemplate filling in an application form to apply for a form for a medical renewal form. You will need to ponder this for a while seeing our NES comrades have let the side down a bit. Firstly the captain lead in " taildragger" was lost, and then my lead in "sceet hoses" died as well. Lift your game people, we need to lift this nonsense to a higher level. Meanwhile the Morry engines are all gone now, the Reno do fine engines are all gone as well, the Ford econobox with the 408 cube engine tore itself to bits and the Pitts V8 was too nose heavy to lift off.....

I am now buggering off to pop some more bunnies. they are coming out looking a little damp but no life jackets or flack jackets.

For information of all. Some years ago a council in the western district of Victoria decided to charge a person that put in a local private airfield without a permit. The problem the council had was that the poor unfortunate farmer was also a very skilled barrister I an told he is actually a QC and the case went straight to the supreme court, of course the council lost. Now as we all know that supreme court precedent reigns so if your new private airfield is incidental to the primary use of the land the a permit in not required. Any way back to more important things like singing.........

Side note, Captain and I posted at about the same time so the continuity makes no sense but you can, if desperate to make sense of this story, read the posts in a reverse order. You could of course not bother. Oh what the hell do what you like, of course it all makes sense.

........studied up and discovered that the problem was all in the description. Sceet is the intake hose on his engine so the lumps of hard clay that are now in the engine are giving the pistons hell {avref}......

.....time he tried to renew his medical......

......as the sniper in question responded "I treat everyone fairly only use a bolt action 22 with a magazine of only10 and the tele sight is only for the hard ones that don't stand still."......

......bit of a nutter anyway trying to take off with three on board a single seater, but you can have three on board a two seater in Sydney if the passengers are young........

.....the broken prop blades were no problem we can use some bark and twigs tied together with duct tape to fix that. The missing mainwheel is not needed in all this mud it will slide along well enough on it's belly. The missing tail is a bit of concern though, may be we could use rabbit jackets taped together and control pitch by moving back and forth seeing the seat is no longer there. Jab drivers are fearless.......

A wonderful and accurate description of conditions at present, however the airfield elevation is about 1200' which is 400' above town so a flood of biblical size would be required to have great effect. Having said that the rotten little bathplugs seem to be hiding at the moment......

......but back to the real aviation related NES. Back in the newly installed tower {avref} at the Darraweit Guim regonal airport {sorry Captain but could not help myself} In spite of this fine airfield being fully equipped with VFR navaids eg. a windsock, the tower controller was getting bored due to lack of traffic. The weather is rain & fog with a ceiling of 40' and vis of nearly half of the 650mtr main runway. Anyway the tower controller has taken to using a rifle to pop bunnies. Of course this is legal at an airport because bunnies are not a protected species......

.....no luck at all, the affore mentioned engines have all rusted up and been sold off for scrap however there are a number of Ford v8 engines around that may be suitable. How about a 408 cu in 500 hp for the Ford Fiesta or maybee a 347 cu in 430 hp for the Pits??......
