I can't fly in - My aircraft is already there - Sorry silly comment .

Wayne Fisher of Spectrum Aviation at Lismore may be able to help........he does Drifter skins.

Pud

I agree with hitc, but I don't apply it every 2 months! The cost would bankrupt me as I have not been able to purchase it in bulk.

Would be interested to find out where it is available in bulk though.

Pud

Waddayamean Wayne ... Rileys always smokin ..... ROFL

All the best and good luck with the position Wayne.

Pud

Congratulations Dazza.

Exhilarating flying - the Drifter.

Pud

I see it as a definite plus for instructors, and would keep it open and visible only to instructors.

This way participants could have open and frank discussions at 'instructor' level without the added compromise of others (not instructors) who may form views out of context.

Pud

Maybe we need something like http://www.thruster.co.uk/spec/ . Oh, wait a minute... made in England and has a Jabiru engine as an option.

Rag and tube though...........................

Pud

That's gold octave.

Thanks for posting.

Howabout this for a'first'?

Shouldn't be a worry in the Thruster Pud.

I was exercising restraint when we met in Townsville last August:laugh:

I thought long and hard about where this item should go, but there is only one place for it - right here in the Laughter section.

G'day propfarmer,

Great stuff! I had a lot of fun during my restoration project that you can see in my avatar to the left here.

Those brackets are also used as the attachment point for the jury struts, as well as the cables you mention.

Inspect the stainless steel brackets closely whilst you can, and if in doubt replace them. if they are ok then I would reuse them, bearing in mind that your aircraft daily inspection should include a full inspection of all these stainless steel brackets - 4 on each wing, so 8 in total.

I'm no expert so take my views for what they are - an anonymous poster on a forum.

All the best,

Pud

SAJ and Pudestcon - TAKE NOTE - the batteries that SAJ listed are the VERY DANGEROUS Lithium Ion Polymer (LiPo) type, they are highly flammable and catch fire! You don't want that in your aircraft, if they catch fire in a car or bike you can stop and walk away, in a plane you may be killed. High charge rates can ignite them, most of our plane engines produce high charge rates... Do Not put SSB (brand) or similar batteries in your plane if you value your life! These are the BAD guys, note their description, top line left side "Lithium In Polymer" (LiPos cannot be sent by airmail because they are dangerous goods) - http://www.superstart.com.au/Products/ProductList/tabid/108/mode/details/pid/434/Default.aspxThe safe ones are also called Lithium batteries but they are Lithium Iron Phosphate (Iron not Ion) which is LiFePO4. They are also exceptionally light and small and just a bit more expensive than LiPos but they cannot catch fire, the electrolyte is not flammable. Here is a link to the correct (safe) type, mine is 270cca, weighs less than 1kg and cost $250 delivered by airmail - http://www.shoraipower.com.au/

Lockheed P3 Orion.

I'd just like a ride in one.

Biggest for me PIC................ Lightwing.

G'day Pud.I was looking at 3 Lithium battries that would fit in my battery cradle. LT12B-4, L:150/W:65/H:92/290cca, YT12B4, L:150/W:65/H:92/290cca, YTX12ABS, L:150/W:87/H:105/280cca. Prices range from $140 to $280. If you go into ebay and type in Lithium battery you will find them there.

SAJ

Pud

Can you post the battery model number please SAJ?

With a monicker like yours I have to welcome you aussieragntube:welcome:

Tell us a bit about yourself, especially, what do you fly?

Pud

The best laid plans....

My vehicle requires a new fuel pump so my trip to Esperance has been postponed, probably until the following week.

I'll send you a PM when I know.

Cheers,

Pud

G'day DWF,I don't get to Esperance all that often but will look you up next time I do.

 

Welcome to the forums here.

 

Pud

I'll be in Esperance on Tuesday afternoon and Wednsday morning next week.

If it's convenient I wouldn't mind catching up to say g'day and 'shoot the breeze' some.

A 72-year-old man goes for a physical. All of his tests came back normal so the doctor says,

"Harry, everything looks great. How are you doing mentally and emotionally? Are you at peace with God?"

Harry replies, "God and I are tight.

He knows I have poor eyesight, so he's fixed it when I get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom,poof!, the light goes on. When I'm done, poof!, the light goes off."

"Wow, that's incredible," the doctor says.

A little later in the day, the doctor calls Harry's wife.

"Mrs. White," he says, "Harry is doing fine but I had to call you because I'm in awe of his relationship with God.

Is it true that he gets up during the night and poof! The light goes on in the bathroom, and when he's done, poof! the light goes off?"

"OH GOOD GRIEF!" Mrs. White exclaims,"He's pissing in the fridge again!"

life's a bitch eh? cheers Riley

I predict you will be inundated with offers from our flying bretheren between here and the Eastern Seaboard.

Check out the aviation museum in Alice, it's worth a visit.

Pud

As much as some spelling grates on me, I don't think it wise to have a spelling 'prompt' in this fashion Ian.

Pud

Must be expecting a few more than normal eh!!!

Pud

I only have 3, so there is nothing to escalate about us having hundreds between us. I am hopeful hundreds will turn up in person at the meeting.
