  1. Too big for that ' size ' Oring . spacesailor
  2. But ! , That 'simple ' remove the Oring, is hard , to get a grip on it . Can a ' pin ( needle ) be used to get under the rubber ring . Without damage . Then were, to buy a new " Oring " .as it has to be petrol proof. spacesailor
  3. But how do you get the o ring off . So ! . Not fit for purpose . Therefore I should have a refund or replacement. Then , that postage cost , wipes out most of the refund . spacesailorl
  4. NOT that visible. Was going to return it but they never answered my email . So have to wear it. spacesailor
  5. The wages of a pilot ,. Compared to the ' computer programmer ' plus ' Console operator ' plus all those 'cheap ' " robotics " . Were , will be those savings . spacesailor
  6. Parasites!. POLITICIANS. Never produced anything. But Always feathering their Own nest First . Politicians ' person with the ' gift of the gab ' . I read those remarks many years ago , in an English news paper . Toilet reading . LoL spacesailor
  7. There you go : After buying Two " Curtis N,P.Taper valves!. only to receive " N.P.Straight valves. The first returned but no postage . Gets expensive . The second one doesn't return my messages . So I will try " Skyshop " . Why don't they use English : Taper or Straight .: instead of , Curtis N,P,T, 1550 . " Such is life " spacesailor
  8. Bay of Islands N Z. Is the world class sailing place. As good as the Whtsunday Islands . Enjoy ! spacesailor
  9. So !. Such a little thing as changing the " fuel collator drain valve " to a " none " tso'd cheaper or available type , Will void your " aircraft " approval. Only for your insurance . ( I have been trying to get a replacement " Curtis 1/ 8" N P taper " ) . spacesailor
  10. Second line : " the boilers " . Water tube or fire tube !. AND NOW ' Flash Boilers ' do not need a " certified fireman ' to operate, And again can be . " Fully-Automated ' . Another three $ 20,000 a year workers gone , to a $ multimillion ' computer ' . spacesailor
  11. A turbine , only need a valve opened for it to spin . The boilers on the other hand need to be " fired up " hours before , and as they know when they will be called on, they , ( bureaucrats ) , who run the show, ' Should have done their ' job. spacesailor
  12. That lady would have had a " driver assessment form " that her ' doctor ' would have filled out . So if she was that BAD why did that doctor pass her as competent to drive ? . I knew an old lady 79 who crashed her car ' slightly ' . Resulting in ' loss of licence ! BUT If her doctor had done better work , she would NOT have lost her ' sight ' in her left eye . They did save her right eye though . SO, the doctors Do get complacent , AND Today my daughter came with the ' wife & I ', to make certain we get the best of treatment. A bit embarrassing all the same . spacesailor
  13. Our " sewerage " goes out to sea at ' Bondi & Manly Heads ' Called locally " turd Beach " . The Harbour is very clean . spacesailor PS So told by, " Sydney Aquarium "
  14. But the doctor has ' past me as competent ' in my ' medical assessment ' for driving . " then " , the "bureaucrat " says ' don't bloody care '. spacesailor
  15. OR Perhaps the ' normal ' is hotter than the historians thought. Before the " snowball Earth " when giant reptilian creatures were ' top preditor ' . The Earth must have been " hot & lush " for All the " coal " that was laid down . spacesailor
  16. Sea water is corrosive. The boiler pipes are short lived with the cleanest of water . And what happens to the grid when solar flares hit us hard , ' as they seem to be increasing in strength ' , or is that " properganda . spacesailor
  17. NSW All 'car drivers 85 or over have to ' pass a practical driving test ' irrespective of their health. " Age discrimination " Do you not agree. spacesailor
  18. airliners.net/photo/untitled/Hummei-bird/2755261/L A I Got me again , with it's capital A spacesailor
  19. L. B. That was good . Untill a " Better " aircraft came along, then they ' bent ' those rules to add. " wing load rule " . With an escape clause " , IF you have flown before that rule, you are " grandfathered " , just have to pay the penalty of ' flying without ' a licence or registration. Or just transfer to VH experimental rego . Just one of only . A link to a " 61 mpg 100 Mph " . Airliners.net/photo/untitled/Hummel-Bird/2755261/L spacesailor
  20. Is there a chance of dropping the age. " discrimination " for ' car drivers ! . If the doctor says ' good ' , why should " bureaucrats " over-ride that decision. spacesailor
  21. During that WAR a new, 'Aircraft / Pilot , ' had , In the " battle of Britain " 6 yes, SIX, ' MINUTES ' to Live . Did that turbo have a chance to get to TBO ! . spacesailor
