    They did have a couple of "Sort of" conventional aircraft, a few even had the wings on the right way round

    That's pretty good for 5 feet tall

    Burt's mob were prodigious producers of aircraft.

    Looks a bit like the UFO ole mate from Moree built

    Give up Turbo, you know you can't convertum

    Perhaps you would rather move to the US where if you get sick and don't have any health insurance then you die, if you get cancer, you sell your house if you have one or you die, free enterprise at it's finest.

    King air or PC9 could carry 1 tonne of freight, Jab 30 kilo's?

    The actual rate of unemployment will be a lot higher than predicted, the same as the quoted rate now is not the actual rate. The actual rate will be closer to 30%. With causal jobs now being the norm and either under employment (If you work 1 hour a week you are considered employed) or working 60 hours a week and only being paid for 40 is standard practice, this will only get worse when jobs are harder to get. Before virus unpaid overtime was standard practice with most work, when work does resume you there will be a big hit in wages and conditions.

    How long to do a Hectare?

    Wuzza bit easy that one ? I started a bit late to get into EP9's, from all accounts they weren't brilliant performers. Ole bloke I did supervision under had some good EP9 stories, some of the Airfarm one's had Cheetah radials innum.

    This has been used extensively throughout the Commonwealth not just a one off.

    That last one is a Burt derivative no doubt called after the builders name like a Phil Smith Mk11. But is actually just a widened Varieze, it's a composite canard version of a Burt Rutan design concept.

    Burt stuff

    Here's a bit of a run down on Dean, very clever man. https://teamkitfox.com/Forums/threads/6306-Is-this-quot-the-ultimate-homebuilt-quot

    Another Dean Wilson design. I saw this thing in Australia, somebody must have bought it out for a tour. It looked very slow in the air but the size is deceiving.

    Aero L60ish

    Back in the olden days at Bankstown there would be 6 aircraft in the circuit on a weekday, weekends were busier. Is there much traffic there now? Last I saw Bankstown there were only trucks. As part of the user lease agreement I thought they had to keep aviation as it's prime use. That 250k figure now seems about 10X what the actual traffic is

    One track, VIC historic plates are different to NSW ones. You can use them for whatever you choose to, you have to fill out log book with date and intended drive before you start. Historic plates in VIC are just a percentage of normal rego, either 45 or 90 days. I have driven my Historic rego'd car into town the last couple of days, we have had no word that you can't drive them from our club or organising body.

    Yip, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba

    Manitoba initially then take an aircraft across to Quebec for a months spraying spruce budworm. After that back to the prairies for a couple of months. Haven't given up yet.

    I had lined up a job in Canada in mid May. They are still very keen, have all the required paperwork to both leave here and work there but currently a bit of a problem getting there. Maybe things will loosen up a bit between now and then, if not looks like I'll be wintering in the Homeshed

    You can see if stock are not acting normally, a flyblown blown sheep will walk/act differently to it's friends. You can see tracks through a fence if it's been pushed over, all from 500 feet. Big places it's very practical for stock/fence/tank inspection. Going for a fly for inspection of some sort would be a more valid excuse than going to your holiday house on the central NSW coast for the weekend
