  1. What about your xair griff. Do you still have it.
  2. we have been waiting 2 weeks for a marap on a bolly prop to a gazelle. darren barnfield has been away but he is back now. all maraps go through him. he invented them.
  3. No need to apologise nev. Been listening to reporters talk about that loaded gun when it wasn't even assembled. They have to sensatioalise everything .
  4. what is ridicule. every news report mentions a loaded gun and there never was one.
  5. and the loaded gun was actually broken down and the barrels were empty.
  6. exactly, most heater hose is 5/8, slightly smaller than 16mm for memory. probably can push it onto a 17mm barb but it stretchs the hose wall at the tip of the fitting.
  7. if anyone wants some mackay 17.5mm hose just pay the postage and i can send u some. i have about 40 mt left. i only needed 2 meters and bought a 50 meter roll. isuzu wanted $800 for a 600mm long hose, thats how i ended up buying the large roll.
  8. do not push 5/8 hose over a 17mm barb. the hose will be weakened.
  9. Looks good mike. How would a rans s6 compare to your aircraft. They look like a similar style. I know of an s6 that will be available later in the year with all new ultralam skins. 912 uls.
  10. Well done. When are you starting your flying lessons.😁
  11. as genuine as the poster sounds you have to remember we only have his side of the story.
  12. will you post the outcome of your meeting with the neighbour. i was a bit rude. what i should have said was stick to the topic not question training and aircraft reliability. good luck with the meet. very interested to hear if its all sorted out.
  13. Stop posting rubbish. People on here have been very helpful to you. But you insist on bagging the pilot who has already been vouched for by a respected member of our group. You made assertions that recreational aircraft are unsafe. That's what we fly and who we are. Take the great advice you have been given and use it.
  14. on final over the house while annoying poses very little danger. he is setup for landing and gliding in straight. taking off. its a 100 hp kitfox, he is probably at 4 or 500 ft before he goes over the house. and we know he is a good pilot because t88 vouched for him. anyway i am sure you both will sort something out tomorrow.
  15. The RVs are nice. When we lived in Albany some blokes out at the airport almost had a production line of rv aircraft. I think they built 4 kits .
  16. Do you think about the children when you take them anywhere in the car. I would think the chance of injury / death might be many thousands times greater than a wayward aircraft.
  17. A bit slick for me but very nice.
  18. Yes it was on the experimental channel. Might have been an old episode.
  19. It's pretty easy to find. I did it anyway and it is listed on my profile. Ra people know. I talk to the tech people and Nicola quite often. I may not have RPC yet. But I have owned a few aircraft.
  20. Nothing to be ashamed of at all. I never read what the cause of the incident was. I watched a utube the other day on a new single seat atec. Beautiful looking AC. Almost all composite construction but they have stuck with the wood mainspar. I think that is a testament to wood.
  21. That is pretty close.. Forgive the troll comment, just never sure on the net. 211 mt would make him around the height you say. Fingers crossed he can modify his strip and move away from your house. Hope you can work out something between the both of you.
  22. What is the distance from your house to the neighbours airstrip. That can give us a better idea of his height. He would more likely be at 3 or 400 ft. 150 is almost over the fence. I don't know if your genuine or a troll but you need to supply facts not guesses.
  23. Did you have a hard landing in that aircraft. I remember you had it for sale but needed repairs to undercarriage. ?.
  24. Bullshit. What's wrong with doing the l1 before RPC. Absolutely nothing. Ask Nicola what her reasoning is. She won't have a clue I can tell U that.
  25. You can do your l1 as long as you are an raaus member. Don't worry about the pilot thing. I did it and the endorsement has been listed on my profile. I don't have RPC yet.
