    I thought it was about the ' cold engine seizing ' Have we all learnt that lesson now , & there will be no-more " engine out on takeoff " . spacesailor

    Just my ' piece of paper ' that says " registered as " 95-10-1103 . Stamped & engraved into the aircraft parts . And ' money changed hands ' .( rego fee ) . spacesailor

    I was suffering from a crook hip. ( Now replaced ) . Taking large doses of pain killer pills . Then told by my ' CFO ' I'll never get that RAA flight certificate . now it's my eyes , going to get measured for new lenses on the 23 this month, then that 365 day wait for the operation, ( the letter came today ) so a long long wait & hope I don't loose my eyesight by that time . The 19- registration is possible : if I had any chance of getting that elusive certificate. spacesailor

    Spacesailor said ! . My aircraft was registered under " AUF " without problems . 95-10-1103 . RAA was audited , then I was told , " when attempting to get " final inspection " . out of specification for 95- 10 category. when attending an airshow , I approached a RAA official who told me to lie for the " grandfather clause " . that would have left me open to a fine for ' unlicenced flight ' & unregistered aircraft . At no time was I informed by RAA about the impending change to my registration . There is no " safety problems " with the Hummel design . In fact it appears a really same aircraft To have your crash in . It is also very twitchy for a low hour pilot . spacesailor

    I believe that the 95-10 ' wing loading ' is not applicable to VH EXPERIMENTAL . Am I wrong ? . spacesailor

    I met a flyer ( at the springs pool ), who flew from Brisbane to Birdsville then on to "Dellhousie Springs " , rangers airstrip , just to have a " skinny dip " with his girlfriend., at the time of " Birdsville races " .

    Hummel wih a 503 . Check out Dave King 's 19-1945 ( memory check needed ) . The fastest is. Four pot two stroke mcCalloch 72 hp. Also a Brian Gabriel built his with a 503 Rotax. spacesailor

    Mr Porche designed it well . The longest production run of any engine, to my recollection, in the world . Only needed " electronically controlled ignition " , to bring it to modern specifications. Cheap to run & maintain. Half a litre of oil per change , and six litres of fuel per hour to fly . " 10,000 miles is recommended oil change for cars " . but most change at 7,500 miles . If you object to VW-Porche look at Subaru . If you can carry that weight . 150 to 200 klgm 38.5 kgs " air-cooled VW " ( 2 cylinder ) 36 hp . spacesailor

    Stall 45 mph . spacesailor

    There is/was a fair few motors for the Hummels . I liked the " McCoy four pot two stroke at 72 hp . No problems with " underpowered " a bit of the opposite! , .flying to fast . Had to have " wing fuel tanks " to carry enough fuel to go anywhere. RAA 29 April 2012 page 2 , 68 posts. We still think about what could have been . ( 16 builders gave it away ) . spacesailor

    Don't let it get you down ! . ' Autocide' ( USoA ) is a new word & illegality for suicide by automobile. my daughter. ( ses ) had to attend one , between Orange & Dubbo NSW .. spacesailor

    F D , My reply to the BIASED VIDEO !. Facebook is a godsend for parents, that can see their offspring when they're overseas . It also cost's a fraction of ATT & Telstra obscene charges . First hand , $80 for 8 minutes Australia to England ! , forty years ago . ( $10 per minute ) on Telstra home-phone. Their reply to my query " pay or be disconnected " . Cheaper on their public phone . That I used, untill " optus " . spacesailor

    The price of the new technological batteries . Makes me wonder ! . Two cars for the Lloong trip. Drive halfway there , then swap cars to get to the Finnish. Expensive but , so is that novated- lease . That saves the cost from your tax . spacesailor

    rcd & RCCD ",Breakers " in your house distribution panel . My house hasn't got one , & as advised I called a reputable electrician, who promptly refused the job . Even without talking dollars , my two ( or is it three ) family sparkies are far too busy To bother with it . One booked for a ' Vietnam ' tour. One booked for ' Japan's " drift racing season " . The other busy upgrading ' hovels ' to houses . " Such is life " spacesailor
