Yep, he definately was a fart smella

Hi Ray I have one sitting under my carport ready for inspection for rego. I am in Orange

Ronnie Barker - the genius In memory of a great man. Ronnie RIP. This was originally shown on on BBC TV back in the seventies. Ronnie Barker could say all this without a snigger (though god knows how many takes). Irony is that they received not one complaint. The speed of delivery must have been too much for the whining herds. Try getting through it without converting the spoonerisms [and not wetting your pants] as you read. This is the story of Rindercella and her sugly isters. Rindercella and her sugly isters lived in a marge lansion. Rindercella worked very hard frubbing sloors, emptying poss pits, and shivelling shot. At the end of the day, she was knucking fackered. The sugly isters were right bugly astards. One was called Mary Hinge, and the other was called Betty Swallocks; they were really forrible huckers; they had fetty sweet and fetty swannies. The sugly isters had tickets to go to the ball, but the cotton runts would not let Rindercella go. Suddenly there was a bucking fang, and her gairy fodmother appeared. Her name was Shairy Hithole and she was a light rucking fesbian. She turned a pumpkin and six mite wice into a hucking cuge farriage with six dandy ronkeys who had buge hollocks and dig bicks. The gairy fodmother told Rindercella to be back by dimnlight otherwise, there would be a cucking falamity. At the ball, Rindercella was dancing with the prandsome hince when suddenly the clock struck twelve. "Mist all chucking frighty!!!" said Rindercella, and she ran out tripping barse over ollocks, so dropping her slass glipper. The very next day the prandsome hince knocked on Rindercella's door and the sugly isters let him in. Suddenly, Betty Swallocks lifted her leg and let off a fig bart. "Who's fust jarted??" asked the prandsome hince. "Blame that fugly ucker over there!!" said Mary Hinge. When the stinking brown cloud had lifted, he tried the slass glipper on both the sugly isters without success and their feet stucking funk. Betty Swallocks was ducking fisgusted and gave the prandsome hince a knack in the kickers. This was not difficult as he had bucking fuge halls and a hig bard on. He tried the slass glipper on Rindercella and it fitted pucking ferfectly. Rindercella and the prandsome hince were married. The pransome hince Lived his life in lucking fuxury, and Rindercella lived hers with a follen swanny.

Good to see ya back with the boys & girls I have only seen one B1RD up close and that was at Holbrook when I was flying Quicksilvers at the time (10 years ago?). Pretty basic A/C I must say and the funny thing about it was the fact of the control stick was above the pilots head, that would have been a task within itself getting the hang of. Anyhow enjoy the flying. Knighty

Great work Ross, it's a real blast aye mate. My first solo I talked to the instructor all of the way even though there was nobody beside me nor did I have a radio at the time. My aircraft was a Quicksilver MXL (6 hours instuctional flight) and it didnt want to land because the instructor at the heat of the moment (departing the aircraft on the runway after 3 greazer of a landings saying "you bloodywell dont need me anymore, you're on your own") forgot to give me a lump of lead for counter balance. I STILL GET BUTTERFLYS THINKING ABOUT IT! I had to loosen my harness on short final so I could push the stick far enough forward to decend. I enjoyed a well earned beer after that flight. I have never had the adrenalin pumping so hard since that experience some 10 years ago. No harm done just PURE LEARNING ever since. My only regret is that I should have got into flying much earlier in life and made a career of it. Knighty

You can get the standard rotax mounts from Aircraft Spruce or California Power Systems, also it wouldnt hurt to try Wade Air from Springhill airport out of Orange NSW. Hope this helps Knighty

Thanks for the info guys, I will be right from here. Ross, you have won this round as your thumbnail explains the go in plain English and Microair demonstrates the same connection as the ones DS supplied me with. Safe flying fellas. Knighty

Hello Forum members Can anyone give me a diagram/info on the proper instalation technique of the screw in type that is used for our VHF radios. Dick Smith's supply them by the bucket loads but cant give me any information other than the price. Thanks Knighty

Many years ago I have seen a flipped over Jab after nosing into a plowed paddock. It landed on its back about 50 metres from point of impact. Pax knocked out cold, pilot walked away and called for assistance. Plane back in the air after a few repairs within a 3 week timeframe. Dont ask me who or where this happened as I will be shot!!! Knighty

Hi guys/gals Have a look what I have found when looking at the Zenith 701 webpage. We will have to wait until half way through Feb 07 before their web page is up and running. I think diesels have their place in amongst what we all fly today so long as they have a decent power to weight ratio. Safe flying Knighty Vulcan Aircraft's prototype Raptor 105 turbo diesel engine introduced at the U.S. Sport Aviation Expo (January 2007, in Sebring, Florida). The new engine promises to be competitive to the Rotax 912S in weight and cost, and will feature FADEC control. Vulcan Aircraft Engines www.VulcanAircraftEngines.com tel: 813-394-3451

Hi Ya Captain I must say that my ASIC was also handled as smooth as silk also, real shame about the WorkCover licence. I have had my criminal record checked 6 times now in the last 4 years mostly to do with my employment, its a shame that a current check doesnt hold any weight amonst local/state /federal gov departments as none of these fellows seem to comunicate too well. As for applying to fly around with explosives Holly Molly would'nt that cause a stir! Don't know about transportation of firearms, been there done that at a MBZ as I walked across the apron holding a suspicious looking parcel on its way to a licenced dealer that was pre arranged. Sure glad no one pulled me up for this but I can tell you it was many years ago and I was not aware that any law had been broken at the time (still dont know of any law until I read your post). Safe flying Knighty

Hi fellow pilots and guests. How’s this for a story of governMENTAL bureaucratic bungling bullsh!@!!! I own a red ASIC and went through the hoops as many of us have. I also have an Explosive Users Permit now called a licence due to WorkCover’s new regulations as another indirect repercussion from September 11 with the same intent of our ASIC. On application I had to supply 100 points of ID to the post office, A letter of recommendation from my doctor saying that I was reasonable sain and no risk to the general public, could leap tall buildings in a single bound while igniting a safety fuse with a cigarette lighter on a windy day ;) 2 passport photos signed off by a JP, documentation stating what explosives I hold at home and info regarding their specialised code/hazard numbers/storage etc And best of all $250 thanks for coming:crying: Approximately 3 months lapsed and another letter in the mail with more documents to complete for: · A Federal Police Check · 2 more photos signed by a Justice of the Piece · Another $150 & thanks for coming:crying: I had jack of these fools by this stage so I gave them a call on their 13 number only to be placed in the que for 25 minutes, tempers were starting to flare to say the least. I eventually spoke to someone who did not have a bloody clue what the hell was going on, did not know about ASIC as I calmly explained to her that I was already cleared by the Australian Government and deemed to be of sound character ( however; all my mates have another opinion of me!). I got absolutely nowhere so I wished them a nice day and may their budgies turn into emu’s and “well we know the rest of the story, don’t we?†Needless to say I departed with my money AGAIN otherwise I would have lost my original $250 and would have needed to do the blasting course all over again at TAFE. I got my $400 Explosive Users Licence the other day in the mail which is good for 5 years so I am told and NO BLOODY PHOTO!!! Now someone here in Australia has 4 passport photos of myself signed off by a JP, how secure are they??? Can someone go into an airport with intensions of injustice and photos of my ugly moosh on a ASIC? I HOPE NOT!!!, me old mate David Koch from Sunrise will surely get a copy of this post so be watching. Honestly these guys in high places who we depend on keeping Australia up to global standards with security/economy etc etc have some serious explaining to do don’t you think. I would love to hear from others who use this forum to give me their views on my concerns and if they have been dicked around with something similar to my experiences. Have a great day. Knighty

Hey guys. I hope I am not too late throwing in my 2 bobs worth as I only just read this thread. The all up weight of my EA 81 was 118kgs, this includes a 3 blade Ivoprop 70 inch magnum (no other prop on the market at a reasonable price could harness the 140 HP engine, BIG PROP VERY HEAVY BUT STURDY), spinner, 160 HP autoflight PSRU (sub 4), radiator and all powerplant fluids. If you are after some serious horsepower versus weight this Ram unit of mine (came with a price tag and a lot of bullsh@!#$% around to get it here!) would appear to out perform other EA81's on the market today even the turboed units. If I had my time over again I possibly would have settled for an engine straight out of a Brumby ute and rebuilt it myself for a fraction of the price and weight. I had to go BIG with props and redrives because of the shear grunt of this engine, most redrives/props are only recommended for 120 HP max and weigh bugger all compared to my running gear. I hope this helps you with your decision. Knighty

Yep another motorcycle nut!!! I ride when I cant fly, I am just as silly on a bike as well! Yamaha Virago XV 1000 (have a sidecar to fit later for the family) Yamaha XT 500 Honda XR 75 Honda CT 125 Bikes and planes fit into the same catagory in many ways, you have got to be a little insane to enjoy them both.
