AVOCET

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

AAahaar , the posting gremlins have departed !! On monday my 11 year old Odyssey battery finally gave up the crank , I recons that could be a record .??? Mike

Thats exactly right , Speaking from experiance , although , im sitting in my armchair ! My thoughts as i crawled out of the recked Avocet , ( distant memory ) , was , any landind you walk away from ,! Yea , blood dripping and all that ,! Mike

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

You know your arguing with someone who's not a pilot , dont you ?

Thanks guys , i was wondering last week how i could work out these figures for the Avocet , Flight program has stated for 2015 ( summers over ) Cheers Mike

I carnt wate for someone else to have a fly of the Avocet , Ive had the title of being the only one in the history of the world to have flown her ! Ill wate for a second opinion befor a detailed spec and flight performance announcement . Im happy with the way it flys , no bad habits. Mike.

You could refuel at port Pirie , no ASIC and CHEAPER fuel , avgas , credid card bowser . 20 min . from Y PAG . Get caught at y pag without asic could be expensive , security bloke , well ..... Say no more ! Get caught with someone else's card , .... You might be a terooist !!!! Lol Mike

It its a j 400 , not raa rego ! Your concerns are well founded though. Good luck .

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 !

Red bull , keep one handy ,

Bex's post , is how ive cooled the Avocet , The black holes send cold air to exhaust pipes and is vented before going through the radiator .

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 ? Mike

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

Who ( in the true sence of the word) are the "AVIATORS " in this contry ? At the moment their all at one anothers throats . Its has to work ( as id did once ) from the top down . Mike

Aviators have always been good at finding new and innovative ways of dividing us up into smaller andsmaller subgroups.... In other words , leave us alone to mind our own "bussines" Mike.

Thanks , much apreciated . Cumon troops , more people more savings , Mike

When are you ordering , Ill get 12 , for jab engine . How are you organising the $$$ ?

Yes , just realised ! Ill delete it
