    Our road became ' crazy paving 'only a few months after a new surfaces was relaid . The gang came back & poured liquid tar into those cracks, and years later it is holding . But the adjacent road joints are full of potholes for me & others to trip on . spacesailor

    Just standard camping gear , 4 amphour fridge/freezer . CB radio & a small number other bits. But left on overnight . So probably 48 hours total hours from my 1500 ah truck batteries . I should have had a 4 ah solar input , but it got shaded . As the diesel motor needed the "" preheater " before starting it only just failed ( turned over slowly ). My ' emergency jump-start ' just melted a terminal off . spacesailor

    My poor Delica had two 750 ah 12 v batteries ( 3 years old ), I Killed them ( overdischarged ) twice they were doomed . Replaced by some " calcium " something batteries . They lasted less than 12 months. So back to " flooded wet cell " batteries, & two years later still going strong . spacesailor

    Lead-acid batteries can only be safely drained to 9 volts , then it degrades its life hugely. Better have those expensive Lithium Iron batteries. For longer life . spacesailor

    " regional parts " , I needed a Holden part , it comes from Brisbane somewhere. As I'm heading north from Sydney, no problem. Get to Brisbane, only to be told , it comes from Perth . I eventually broke down, solely due to regional parts . Luckily for me , the Indian mechanic knew the tricks & got that common part . From , China . spacesailor

    A little ' similar ' we have the " off lease dog field " , next field across . The person mowing the runway uses a ' remote controlled ' mower . I gave away model flying when leaving the UK . Still have a few motors though . spacesailor PS : Have you used that, ' very old ' APS ' plans hand book ' . My older brother put a few of my designs into it .

    Do you actually run IC engines in your planes . Sydney seems to have outlawed those & now it's the noisy prop electric only . I can hear them 2 to three kilometres away at my house , when it's flying day. Council by laws , AND WE HAVE A CANDIDATE, standing against " wok & anticar " In our Council elections this time . ( we have a road that has become " single file for cars after they took half the road for cyclists). spacesailor

    I bought a five point harness for the Hummel-Bird. But weight saving decreed a simple lap belt . No credit for ' safety ' of those heavier " safety " harness. spacesailor

    The one I have has a " LI-PO " battery , which I suspect is 3▪︎7 volt . So how does it deliver 12 volt . Uniden spacesailor
