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

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

It is a pity they can't be used for building trusses or spars . OR , anything! . It would be better than the present day. " Burials " . spacesailor

Water cooled " scot " bikes were really fast in their day AND That " Jowett Jupiter " was a beautiful sports car . Or Then again was it the " jowett Javlin " . Great cars of their day. spacesailor

AGAIN " A I " Super sized carbon BLADES . ( As in " wind-turbine). I Did reread it & missed that changed word ! . Or , did it change ' after ' posting. spacesailor PS triple proof reading , before hitting button,

YES There was a ' diesel motor ' that ' always ' made TBO . AND That was its downfall . It only sold one engine per van, then had no spare parts to sell either . The name eludes me , possibly " Trojan " . spacesailor

BUT ( JUST TO THROW A SPANNER ) . Have they found a way to Recycle those ' super sized ' carbon plates. YET. spacesailor

ONE QUESTION ! . To the people who Want ' solar on every roof ' . You should kick the government in the arse. The houses that will supply the biggest percentage of power to the ' grid ' , Are locked out of the " subsidies scene " by the $ 250 monthly power bill cap. When we don't use All the power, it Will feed the grid . From 3 Kw usage to 6 Kw grid feed in . The roof is large enough that a 9 Kw system could fit easily . But no subsidies available. spacesailor plus a dozen more locked out in this one street .

My neighbours " Tesla 3 only gets used for work runs , the rest of the time it sits in the driveway , while they go out in the IC car . Could be keeping the kilometres down . spacesailor

A ' Commadore ' with a Big Sainty V8 . goes Super Fast spacesailor

How to ' identify ' whatever wing is on a " Pegasus " 582 trike . ' the number battens ' ! . A bit useless for identifying a folded wing , but it's to heavy for me to lift now. spacesailor

With a crook hip, I try to sit , then bring my legs in, Then bump my head last . My ' aircraft has a ' flip lid ' easy to get in , but harder to get. Out . . spacesailor

UNTILL that stiff ' back ' makes your head bump the door arch, because of the racked windscreen. spacesailor

My reply to the " Caravan " thread . Some people do try to keep out of the Speedsters way . Who can be very ' arrogant ' when stuck behind a caravan's " legal speed limit " . See ! : more " bureaucracy " in the speeds for different vehicles. spacesailor PS neither Jabiru nor EV cars.

I AM OLD & STIFF . What make of EV will suit me . All I have seen are low sedan type . The one I sat in ( passenger) was a new Tesla 3 . It seemed high enough, but the ' racked windscreen. ', still made it difficult to enter & exit. Hence My preference for the OLD gas guzzlers . As for caravan's it's definitely a life style. A person with two ' large dogs ' will pay a fortune for air travel, then will pay even more for a " dog friendly " hotel . Easily fixed with a two bed ( one bed for dogs ) , caravan. Anyone been to Canberra's " dog show " or any other state capital dog event . I have seen $ 000s given for a dog friendly house just for that Canberra dog show . See ' our ' " Irish Setter " on the " pal dog food can . Australian Champion ( not mine but family). So my daughter now tows her " dog friendly '' caravan around Australia. spacesailor

Or drop the class designation , making ' 10- 1103 ' in A- 1103 . Later it could be ' B-1103 ' . spacesailor

When your engine has quit ,You are going down . ( a glider Is different ) . So throw out All excess weight , the less mass hitting anything the better. Including fuel . That fuel weight is significant ' mass ' . spacesailor

What's the point of that " reserve " if , your going down , I think, ' pull the choke on ' & burn off that wasted fuel . So it doesn't pollute the crash site .or catch fire . spacesailor

For the ' Silence ' . Simple But ' most ' EV ' cars are too low for old me to climb in/out of , hence the preference for a ' tall ' 4X4 , that you ' climb ' up into. Had a Subaru 2.5 Lt sedan, that I struggled with for 18 months . Then got a " full sized " car . spacesailor

Battery powered " Hot air " balloon " . I can't believe they are SO noisy with gas jets . spacesailor

COL . I agree !. If it gets too much paperwork & cost , to just keep your ' licence ' or the ' Certificate ' to do our ' low ' annual hours. Then were will all those ' Bureaucrats ' go for for their new job . I can fly as a passenger, & get my high's that way , No paperwork . And No ASIC card to worry me . Any were , Any country , Any aircraft . Last flight : Turkey in a ' paraglider ' .Absolutely breathtaking. One flight. No ' training , licence , ASIC ' , Then probably cheaper than paying for all those mentioned . spacesailor

" civil liberties " my arsss . Compulsory Medicated ! . It is , supposed to be illegal in Australia. I don't want it !, does Not count for individuals. spacesailor

Jackboot johney said " they ( the new photo licence ) will not be used as an identity card " . Typical . politicians lie . spacesailor

You forgot the " NSW photo identity card " . It's supposed to be , the only one needed for identification. spacesailor

I can't read documents that I do not possess . Please , for those with no knowledge of ASIC . WE DONEED ENLIGHTENMENT. spacesailor
