    Yet ! . Has it been sold . spacesailor

    Most " service ' garages buy oil in large bulk drums. And are seldom sealed or even have the ' bung ' replaced once opened . Supposedly , our oil " should " be changed for " Summer & Winter " . Does anyone check their ' service centre ' for your annual oil-change compliance . spacesailor

    Floatplanes are not only in the other side of the world . We do have them in Australia and New Zealand. Another ' aircraft/boating ' problem is sailing a large yacht past the Mascot airport , and catching a sailfull of " jetblast " of jumbos taking off . spacesailor

    There is a ' float ' plane inspection/ repair base at the " Old Halvorson's Shed " Kissing point . No signs anywhere for incoming aircraft. OR WAS , The last time I visited . spacesailor

    Wouldn't it be wiser To have a few ' practical ' lessons. With an instructor . To have an ' experienced ' pilot make the first test flight . Cuts down on mistakes. A first timer will make . If it doesn't work . A few good mates to take you to ' hospital ' , if it doesn't work for you ' this ' time . LoL spacesailor

    Maybe the flying clubs could / should " raffle off " a few flying lessons to the public at large . How many tickets for a $ million dollars. Perhaps the lease / new aircraft . Buying that airport , to save the flyers there . Big money ! . Just don't run off with it all , & the prize . Is this a ' charity ' . LoL spacesailor

    Takeaway. The " sausage sizzle " , that help those , " none " charitable organisations. SES, RFS , JUNIOR FOOTY CLUBS , AND FLYING CLUBS , to gain dollars to pay for equipment or services that are just too expensive without ' charitable ' donations . spacesailor

    But the alternative . Lotto : self perpetuating. Mater hospital lotteries: the chance of that dream home . A huge difference to my participation. spacesailor PS : it doesn't matter to lose , as it contributes to a good cause . To win that Cirrus aircraft, without the 'charitably component would not have got my & other people involved.

    What do you call " thermalling " . It's a huge thermal engine . Ask those that ' paraglide ' in competitions. Especially in ' thunderstorm ' conditions . Records were broken , & a competitor ( almost ) Froze to death in Australia . spacesailor

    I tried " paragliding " , how can I put it ; fantastic. ( passenger ) . spacesailor

    Question!. If " powermate " is not fitted , what is ? . spacesailor
  12. spacesailor
    I have an " anr " head set , it works equally well while mowing my lawn . LoL It reduces the exhaust noise as well as electrical , while listening to a tape or radio . spacesailor

    My " Fairbanks Morse " magneto specifies copper cored HT leads . I don't expect to get them from normal outlets . Any suggestions for replacements . spacesailor

    Careful how you ' rotate ' with the underslug rudder . spacesailor

    BUT, Where is " silica " . spacesailor
  16. spacesailor
    There is a small ' half circle ' alloy jack , suitable for our light planes . Jamb it under the Axel of that flat tyre, roll a little & the wheel comes up off the ground , perfect. spacesailor

    Use it for your plugs , then onsale it at half price to ' mates ' . How many plugs per tube are expected to treated , ( at a smear per plug ) . spacesailor
  18. spacesailor
    I had better throw those very Old vintage tyres away , they must be at least 50 years in storage. Never did buy that jalopy we saw in some movies . spacesailor

    XCOM powermate , ! Aircraft Spruce . Looks similar. spacesailor
  20. spacesailor
    Same thing seems to happen with AGM , If they get too hot , they die . spacesailor

    A small wattage globe will keep the generator safe , when the battery disconnects. spacesailor
  22. spacesailor
    Their is, I believe a member here who could give a better estimate of its value . Has the member thought of selling here . spacesailor
  23. spacesailor
    It hasn't got halfway yet , & only a day left . Will it make fifteen grand ?. spacesailor
  24. spacesailor
    Unlike me . They all use what is specified. Have you seen the size of those ' Old ' VW spark plugs . I will try anything to save a " gram " or two . Plus the " original " plugs are no longer manufactured. spacesailor
  25. spacesailor
    Has Dave , at the Oaks . Got that IOR discount . I sometimes buy 20 litres from him . So , two dollars off the twenty litres . Three hours engine runtime with the two litres reserve . Now how much per litre ? . ( to see if I can afford avgas ) . LoL spacesailor
