Now , we top up with 98 fuel to keep the tank good !. The Ethanol separates when left unused, for long . Or even a few months. I often go two months between refueling. BUT Our second car can be 6 months plus, I do keep a fuel log on both cars. One petrol , the other diesel. spacesailor

It,s STILL ALL BUREAUCRASY. They make the paperwork to suit themselves. Sitting at an office desk, gives them heaps of time to undo what They have done, without any time restraints. ( paper shuffling ) spacesailor

Yes !. You,re right it is a Douglas Dakota . ( under a flight test with odd wings !. One longer than the other ) And it wasn,t called Anything ( like a Joy flight). Just sit down , shut-up. & don,t move. As Very noisy and vibrations bumps etc. , not long after the " Berlin Airlift . spacesailor

You need someone with an ! AEROPLANE. just to keep those Bs on their toes. What price good service ?. I gave away Internet buying as too many missing items. spacesailor

STAFF, !. Just a number in some ledger. Joyce probably never see,s those numbers ( workers/people ). spacesailor

When I filled those tanks, for the Fiji trip, the wife kept telling me " it,s too dear ". Dear !. But l knew the more l pumped the lower the cents per litre." Made sence to me ", started at $ 1.45. & Ended up after 700 litres, at wholesale price, so the remainder was a free bonus of fuel. spacesailor

Are they ' standard AA ' size, ?. And lighter. Rechargeable! . spacesailor

My 40 footer had two 500 litre diesel tanks. Let,s me get fuel at wholesale rate. spacesailor

WHAT Standing against the lawfull government ?. For being racist. spacesailor

The batteries nonreducing weight !. Is what l,m looking at . Heavy nose with full fuel in forward tank. on Takeoff. Then, tail heavy when slowing for finals, with a flare at the end, With that heavy tail , !! " stall, stall , stall. ). I can hear those auto messages that airliners use. spacesailor

I,m doin a quick calculation on the weight of the HummelBird power plant, fuel. 55 / 60 kgm, out , ( excluding propeller ( includes fuel )). SO How heavey would a 24V 95 N M, 3500 rpm ( 3 phase ), motor weigh . Then comes THAT Big hit BATTERIES, weight . It all is so complicated with three different measurements . Motor 85 lb, 40 hp, 51/4 GALLONS US FUEL . spacesailor

I plead guilty !. I did ask, then put my grandson into an aircraft. He ( grandson ) looked like he knew how to fly. & didn,t touch any switches.

To check if its the hands loose or inside broken. ( NO Not his, the altimeter ) LoL spacesailor

Someone bought at auction, a ' powered glider ' ( same time as roulettes auction ). Very quick conversion l should think . if a pilot trains in an electric plane, they would Miss that ' kick in the pants ' thats missing in IC aircraft. Except for " Merlin powered Spitfires ". ( they say " opening the throttle to quick will flip the plane ). spacesailor

Put that electricity into a purpose built airframe, and you coud/would double that one hour battery life. spacesailor

Thats a lot of " avgas " , ( 188 kg batteries ) Will they Ever get to the IC engine efficiency. One hours flight was GOOD for the " Wright brothers " but now we all want , MORE spacesailor

A MONOCLE or A pair of ( glasses ). Could be a problem for those with ' foresight '. spacesailor

Ho !, for a little " Hummel Bird " can be parked under a VH plane wing. LoL spacesailor

Try " Hirth Engines ", spacesailor

At the Oaks we had the ' police helicopter ' practicing takeoff / landing, on the adjacent old runway. We never though about the rotor-wash affecting us, as it,s just like the cross wind coming between the hangers. would that have been good for ' crosswind ' training? . spacesailor
