That's why I asked that question. spacesailor

You mean ' fuel tank ' . Every plane will have an appropriate sized tank to the Physical size of the plane . 40 hp in an ultralight , will have a much smaller tnk than a large GA registered one. A N70 lead acid battery weighs in at 24 kgrms . 15 ltrs petrol weighs 10.5 kgms . For two hours flight plus reserve . I'm thinking I C beats E V in this aeroplane . spacesailor

What is the " battery " weight ( used for aircraft ). Compared to 98 petrol weigh ( litre ) . spacesailor

One ( monowheel ) is used by a Hummel-Bird pilot , can't get much smaller. spacesailor

Just like having to pay for a " road rules " book . I pay'd because of the " roundabout " stupidity " . Should have stay with ' give way to the right ' . Not, race in to be first . spacesailor

I ' cheat ' . I carry a " boat fuel tank. When filling my " Jerry cans" . Approximately 80 ltrs , in all . But it gets awkward when " 20 ltrs of 98 for Hummel-Bird 20 ltrs 95 for marine and stationary engines . Plus diesel . Never ever buy that low grade adulterated alcohol blend .It killed my garden equipment motors . As for " bad " service stations fuel , my bro-inlaw had it happen , and blew the fuel pump a few clicks from servo . Insurance paid out. spacesailor

Most ' Nullarbor Road ' stations have a good airstrip . Also , have camping area's . And , a $ 3,000 towing bill . spacesailor

ZI-NI Is not as hard wearing as chrome . Which was my thinking before . " rust protection & wear resistance " . If your 'Old ' leg has a little wear , & is a little sloppy '. The Plating could be a metal builder . spacesailor

No chrome on my ' mild-steel leg ' . p l They were ( a couple of years ago well oiled ). Just have to oil it annually. done , but no photo ,as hands now need ' de oil ing . LoL spacesailor

Chroming seems to be very hard wearing , and doesn't rust like bare metal . But It is now, of this year banned in all new car manufacturing. seems another " greening " of, what was, will never be again . The ' world ' is in retro, We will soon back to the dark age of " horse & cart . No coal, burn tree's. Ne plastic bags , cut down more tree for " brown paper bags " . No more IC omnibuses , back to " trams " . instead of electrification of buses . ( no rails. needed ). What a world to leave for our descendants . spacesailor

Just saying . But it would be fantastic to even do those high speed Pre-takeoff runs. Instead of " close your eyes & dream of " , soaring like an eagle. spacesailor

That ' fiasco ' of REGISTERED aircraft being removed from RaAus registration. BUT could be " grandfathered " to fly, When never registered , ( only have to say " it has been flown previously " ). Can I fly my 10-1103 , in Queensland . It was registered. I HAVE THOSE AUF PAPERS . ( and my weight is getting closer to flying maximum weight ). spacesailor

I often wonder ! ,about the ' airfield bowser ' , sitting up in the open , & out in all weathers , Do those bowsers have a ' water drain ' or have rust inside . The outside are not painted on many , so, what would the I side look like. spacesailor

My mistake. Yes it works very quickly. spacesailor

Perhaps a litte leniency for us mortals . Nothing on my aircraft is , or ever will be " tso " or compliant to aviation standards. It's a home built ultralight weight aircraft . That has been no problems with ' nosewheel legs ' failing to my knowlede . ( I could ask if there has been a broken nose wheel leg ever ). I was thinking of chroming my ' noseleg ' to fight rust on the wear parts ,after the grease has rubbed away . ( not high-grade steel ) . spacesailor

Petrolspy Just tried for Parks NSW . " no matches found " . Not good for me . I'll cheat & offer a ' joyride ' for a couple of Gerry cans of 98 premium petrol. The locals would love to see their house from above. spacesailor

That's something I never knew . spacesailor

How much will CASA . EXPECT ? IT WOULDN'T BE CHEAP by any one's expectations. No licene/certificate, No registration/third party Insurance . Throw the book at him, will be the cry ! . spacesailor

Sydney has " polair " . Popularly known as " pigs in space " . White lines on roadway for polair to calculate your speed.

Doesn't look, ' quite right ' somehow. Just used to twisty-bit on the correct side . spacesailor

The wife says " the grumpy old men's club " . spacesailor

I thought it was meant to be . Wage , not Age . I read between the lines far to often it seems . spacesailor

l Am , offended. Old but not grumpy . yet spacesailor

I wouldn't Dare in Sydney. Must be just , a little slack in Gippsland Victoria. Here you're busted for 0.05. seconds $ 500 . spacesailor

They ( autogyro club ) , had a great "glider " , I couldn't Get enough of it , being towed behind a big Ford car . spacesailor
