Congrats , it does take a lot of careful work to get them right , getting the majic 20 c cooler over a standard installation has got to be good for the longevity of the engine !

Makes me wonder how many many pefectly good Odyessys have been chucked out due to time maint. Ive always understood that you should change them at 2/4 years ? Should offer to buy all the ckucked ones !! Lets say %10 of p/p after 2 years . Lol Mike

Wind Turbine Hazard to Aviation
AVOCET replied to Head in the clouds's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
We have thought about utilising the unused hot water , but even if the waters boiling hot , its still not hot enough , and the capacities not there , So , not hot enough , for any worthwhile electric generation , Pity though , I thought ,as Phill, that having that " spare" capacity , could be used , especially in summer , But the "numbers " dont stack up ! I like the idea of pumping water to a head , and , IF , you had the height and dam capacity , well , got me thinking ! Mike -

AVOCET replied to cooperplace's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
In reality , pilots should be mentay prepaired for engin failure every take off and landing . Ive had 3 instances where a below safe height incident has required imediate action . , and believe me faaar.. Is the last thing on your mind ! -

Proposed Part 149 Organisations - recipe for tyranny?
AVOCET replied to Jim McDowall's topic in Governing Bodies
Fly Away No MoreTo Pay : Seems to me that this has resulted in a generation of Pilots , but not nessesarly Aviators , Quick walk around , jump in turn key , Al this leads to more regulation , this slow, down hill decline in freedoms , How far down the hill do we have to go before we're regulated out of the sky altogether ?

We dont want em out here ! Just in case you miss !
