How Did a UK pilot , get a licence to fly ! When He is ' legally BLIND ' ? . HE FLEW into " Mascot airport " . To a civic reception. On his ' round the world ' flight . ( didn't see much of his journey) . spacesailor

Or A very small pilot . LoL spacesailor

My turn ! . I have lost the side 'parts' on my Galaxy tablet. Has anything been changed or is my new tablet have problem . All the information panels are gone & just the enlarged centre screen left, So cannot tap onto " off topic or what's new ". Many thanks. spacesailor. ( third day of frustration)

Crazy prices . A " Hummel " Full kit ,top price is under $A 30,000 . AND about the same dollars for the firewall forward. BUT The second hand price is none existent. spacesailor

How come a ( my ) ' road ' which is a ' dead-end ' , can be a ' road'? . spacesailor

" then drive home without talking to anyone " . That a very good reason to ' join RecreationalFlying ' . Like I did . " be happy to be here " . spacesailor

I thought it was a. !. Light plane spacesailor

To stop the ' wind ' moving it . spacesailor

Now a factory has ' exploded ' by molten aluminium hitting water . ( China perhaps ). spacesailor

The 'Devil-cat ' from Melbourne to Tassie had a weather problem, if to rough or dangerous it had to do the trip ' WITHOUT PASSENGERS ' Bureaucratic red tape for their licence . spacesailor

SO ?. What is the maximum altitude ' before ' it becomes an ' air craft ' . Some ' sensible ' " bureaucrat " Must know how high you can " legally " fast taxi or bunny-hop . spacesailor

Well , that English man , flew his trike from the UK & was invited to land at ' Mascot airport ' . Must have had a ' blooody long white cane '' . LoL spacesailor

CASA ! spacesailor

One from I . The " Curtis gascolator fuel drain valve " . Can the tiny " O'ring " be replaced ? . spacesailor

No !. ' They ' changed the designation , no longer U,F,O. spacesailor

50 hour oil change ! . My half VW is TEN hours. But a four container of oil lasts forever. LoL OR 60 litres of " mogas " per oil change . Expensive. spacesailor

Could that ' Ryanair ' STOP that quickly, to let the " Dumass " driver do what they Wanted . spacesailor

And , the ' roller ' door loses it's springs. & forever closing down on you . But those ' electric roller doors ' just jam , ( at the most awkward time ) . I haven't seen a ' horizontal roller door ' Yet . spacesailor

Don't rely on the OLD compass , you could pass over an ' anomaly ' . And do they last forever ! . Without a periodic ' oil-change ' . LoL spacesailor

Interesting read !. Were did all these mysterious anomalies come from so suddenly ! . AND if only small , on a longish flight , wouldn't it cancel itself out after passing the anomaly. spacesailor

9G That's a lot More than most aircraft wings can stand!. My Hummel is 6 G . So at 9 G the wings drop off . spacesailor

BUT Every compass is different, hence you Have to ' turn " the aircraft or boat , to all four cardinal points of said compass & write that error on a " proper " card. Not just a scrap of paper ( tea bag box is a strong cardboard ) , cut to fit in the appropriate ' holder beside your compass . ALL very ' old school ' , just in-case your " gps stops working ,! & your brain retains the knowledge to use mental arithmetic spacesailor

DEVIATION. ! . ( card ). A' card ' with the error ' written on it . To be used at each " compass point " . .to correct the known error, out . spacesailor

Probably saw a jucy morsel on the window . Only to have it's BRAKES FAIL . spacesailor
