That was my intention. Untill I was told I could never gain a RAA certificate. I still want to gain that certificate, but age is against it . Question : if you lose your " driving licence " because of age. Are you automatically stripped of your " flying certificate " . spacesailor

These Hummel-Birds do look a lot better , as mr Hummel designed it. spacesailor Rob, see photo's previous .

Because, those legs do bend easily, and that wear , plus the rusting on that area . Is a known problem . It's only a tiny aircraft , & I suspect the leg could be made just a little stronger. After a few years of having a ' training wheel ' at the front I was intending to change the ' Hummelbird ' to a conventional tail dagger, eliminating the nose wheel problem. spacesailor

So ! Is that embrittlement ,such a bad thing , on the ( inner )straight piece of the front leg , made of ' cheap mild-steel ' . It seems a good thing to stiffen that piece of pipe up . A bit, instead of it being bendy. As well as "wear proofing " it a lot . It's all made up, so cannot put a better ( tenstile ) part in , then weld it to the forks . I have not made enquiries as to the pricing of said plating, ( for half the pipe length ). It could be out of my ' pensioner ' pocket money . spacesailor

' T ' panel. Inclinometer ' in the middle ' . I've haven't seen that one . Usually the Inclinometer is near the bottom of the panel . spacesailor

And from " small beginnings ", an airline pilot could emerge. spacesailor

Then again . My Hummel-Bird doesn't fit " 95-10-1103 '' category either. It's wings are too small . Even through it was a " registered " aircraft . ( under AUF ) . V H experimental, or back to RAAus as a new registration , ' 95-19-whatever ' . I would swap for a ' 103 ' aircraft . To get away from " them who like to be gods ". spacesailor

Maintenance. IF , you can fly with two cylinders. Your Maintenance is minimal. But . Electric is better. Maintenance is less than minimal. spacesailor

Lugging fuel to your deserted airfield……
spacesailor replied to Freizeitpilot's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
Tried that ! . It was advertised as an " Advanced driving course " . but, It turned out to be the opposite. No spinning around to escape . ( as opposed to the normal 3 point turn ) . Reverse is a faster geat than first. So, speed away in Reverse. neutral, turn a little , Hand brake . Spin the front, opposite lock ,3 rd gear. & speed away . It was Just , ' drive slow & be aware of dogs and old people ' . spacesailor -
I like the 'Dovetail ' but it is a " turboprop " . spacesailor

Using old language. 100 Ah " lithium battery " powering a 40 hp motor . That is what ultralight aircraft need . They were the forefront of flying for many decade's. The Hummel-Bird looks a great candidate for a new EV modification. but with it's 6 ltrs p hour . Not many will bother converting . spacesailor
