    Security!. I waked 'to ' my international ( many years before hip ) checkin, wearing a ' life vest ' complete with knife ' before staff decided I couldn't have the knife. It was put in a very large paper bag to go into the hold . & I retrieved it from NZ Security in nz. spacesailor

    Just by . one litre = one kg = 140 litres of fuel . At 6 litres per hour , it equates to a loong full day's flying in my " Hummel bird " . LoL ( 22 hours ) spacesailor

    I go one up on that . Before my new hip , I was ' ushered & pushed around & through the international airport ' . Like a " KING " . They were even calling the ' Air-traffic controllers ' to hold a minute . And I couldn't believe there were more than a dozen passenger's in 'wheelchairs. For that one flight . spacesailor

    Mechanics ! . Diagnosed a broken " valve spring " as " hole in the head " ..Nrma couldn't get a wheel off a " Commadore sedan ". Next doors Mazda had multiple flashing lights that didn't make sense on the ' obd2 unit ' so mechanic said , " it needs a new motor " . Actually needed NEW BATTERY TERMINALS. spacesailor

    But they Do fail ! . The ' hand ' fell off my ' altimeter ', ( possibly children's fingers overturned a knob ) . also a double temp gauge stopped working on one side only , but is it a serviceable gauge for a single cylinder . spacesailor

    Bluetooth to a mobile phone or tablet will surprise most oldies here. I was shown a " Samsung Galaxy " phone ready to connect to the paired aircraft . So if someone steals that aircraft how will it be flown without its instruments. That are at home with the pilot . spacesailor

    The Hummel-Bird used the " clark- Y- airfoil . Then a ' modified ' Clark. Y . spacesailor

    NO I refuse to use my driver's licence for a ' mock ' ID card. . My wife And lots more have never taken that ' Bureaucratic ' driving test to get an I D card . We both have a " photo Identification card " . As well as , I have a ' driving licence ' . spacesailor

    Good maybe the ' shout-out ' got through !. At the time ( quite a few years ago ) I think it wasn't on All aircraft . spacesailor
  13. spacesailor
    But ' pilots ' Are passengers, With their. " ASIC " identification . Is it illegal to wear the card , when Not the current pilot . spacesailor

    This old builder has one AND a half Hummel Birds with plans I bought a kit HB & started to build a ' skinny ' one with solid rivets , but my hip replacement, then a fall breaking my arm , stopped any work ( terrible four letter word ) , even my prop chopping stopped. I'm not certain if I will get to a ' working builder ' again , as everything is on top of me. I'm pushing 1 one kilo weight up by this damaged arm . To gain more strength. One kilogram.!

    Looks like a , ' rearward-chock ' is required for the ' hight impaired pilot ' . Better than a ' cushion ' . spacesailor
  16. spacesailor
    But ! If your quick to disengage the motor it will become an . Autogyro-glider spacesailor
  17. spacesailor
    Yes The HB is built with either the Learner's wheel at front or taildrager . You can reverse the mains to the ' nose/tail ' wheel, After you master take-off's & landings . But You need to rebuild the tail section for the strength & steering, then Your C of G needs adjusting, it can be built FAT , TALL or even standard. LoL Now going with a different motor a ' V twin predator 22 hp ' , than the Old VW . spacesailor

    Almost a ' Hummelbird ' . Local flier. With a ' Rotax two-stroke ' . spacesailor

    That ' caraboat ' , Sits on a ' registered trailer ' plus, possibly marine rego to boot. So has to be a ' litte ' more expensive to own . A house-boat on a trailer will be the same cost . But a small ' trailer yacht ' does Not need marine registration. And you sleep on the trailer if you want to stop rocking & rolling . A motorhome , only has road registration . spacesailor

    The NSW SES , Have asked for an " emergency placard " be fitted to All aircraft with a " ballistic Shute. " DO NOT PULL RED HANDLE " I remember the response, Silence Hopefully someone has done ' something ' since . spacesailor

    Hi I've lost the ' side panels ' from my page , leaving me without a means to get to " off topic " , Can I get a ' website ' address to go straight to " offtopic " . Many thanks . spacesailor

    WHY A flying car . The boat-car never sailed off , even though it worked well. The concept of having two uses , for one registration, doesn't work that well . ' motorhomes ' versus ' car & caravan ' , still works in favour of leaving the van on site , while sightseeing, in the car . ( or loosing your camp-spot, as it is vacant, while sightseeing in the motorhome ) . spacesailor

    We're not all G O M . A few are S S C . OR just hoping to be ' better than we look . LoL spacesailor

    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
