Welcome back to the forums! . I Have missed you. And your ' pusher ' is looking great. Are those SRFC aircraft fixed, & back in service, I was told l could still get onto the SRFC site even thou l,m no longer a member, but that didn,t happen, so feeling an outsider now. LoL. spacesailor

That kiwi ' no suing ' is crook !. Injury by ' malpractice ' & ineptitude, Should be a Criminal lawsuit !. Just another way to rid of the employer of workers , without paying for their long service leave & other entitlements. Sounds wrong, but is being used to stip worker payouts !. spacesailor

Kyle I tried , but didn,t WIN, the " mater prize home lottery ". On Brirdie island. LoL spacesailor

I,m going to ' sit & watch ' T V . As this Cold weather is playing hell with my asthma. Do l , hate winter, I would travel to the other side of the world to get a warmer temperature . spacesailor

Nor your ' hearing aid ' . As the flight attendant won,t know " sign " . spacesailor

QUICK !. NOW ON SALE, airosol fire extinguisher, 4 ,wood, fuel, electrical. Oil & fatsOnly small size & $s. Aldi,s spacesailor

DRY ICE !. IT,S LIGHTER. Of course. Then the heat of the fire will melt that ice, putting out the fire. ( it actually works ). spacesailor

Nice pics ! BUT it makes me a little envious. LoL spacesailor

Diesel carburetor. My diesel 4m40 Mitsubishi has a double butterfly carby, so it cannot run ' backwards '. It does other things as well, but economy isn,t the best at 12.5 L,p.100 k. And thats the best it has ever achieved. Normally 14L.p.100.k. over many thousands of Ks and 24 years. spacesailor

There,s an old Rumour !. A flight training facility can knock back a student to further their bank balance. Hopefully it seldom happens. But why those double edged test questions. If not to keep you in their clutches. spacesailor

And Now the pictures Please. spacesailor

Australian aviation, would be the same as U K aviation. spacesailor

Blind pilots Are no longer a joke, as a sight impered pilot was given a welcome to Mascot in his trike. ( A really long white cane was used. ) spacesailor

I liked the V6 Isuzu 3.2 litre, saw one in a small ' Spitfire ' at an airshow. spacesailor

Another Not so dumb question ?. Is there an online site to get All our knowledge from !. If a 100 v motor will fun on 1/2 that volts, why not a lesser v to land with, instead of expensive Amp escapement IE battery disconnect switich, All on takeoff power , 1/2 off cruise, 1/4 of batteries to land., & one bank to idle the prop. Then of course that B M S will charge them All back to normal full charge That should be a backyard shed project. Even tho they will be staggered in getting to Full charge. spacesailor

100 volts max!. That means lots of 3.7 v , or half that with 7.2 v X 14 for the max takeoff power. It puts the retail price of battery,s into the crazy bin. spacesailor

Just looked at a 35kw brushless motor, but there was no voltage mentioned. How do you find the right battery to fit a dc motor, without the manufacturer stating , volts. Mp 238 50. Max amps 350. Weight 15 kg. Old i C motor weighs in 35 kilo,s & 33 kw,s, plus fuel & tank. So Leaves lots of weight for batteries. To bring the CG to were it should be. And get rid of the shift in C G as fuel burns off in flight. spacesailor

Eight years !. yes Just 8 years, the target, for dumping, All our privately owned I C vehicles. ENGLAND is converting secondhand cars already, In eight years l don,t think there will be a lot of improvement in the batteries. SO Going on holiday's interstate will be a thing of the past. Also the fuel cost is already getting prohibitive for just leisurely Holliday use. spacesailor

red750 I didn,t spot the three Hummel aircraft. Another couple of light aircraft. Yes . H5. Ultracruiser. & Hummelbird. spacesailor

I keep getting : the certificate is out of date . spacesailor

BUT without R E G, one particular hill is third gear. Then blank removed , flat to floor in second gear !. So, quite a big power loss. For any towing vehicle. Then L P G injection gives a big boost to the same motor !, IF you Never ever, run out of diesel, the straight L P G will blow the engine. spacesailor

Due the extra power, used to overcome the R E G pollution in the air inlet, Are more oxides produced, than if there cleaner air is used, That is a 64 thousand $ question. spacesailor

Iv,e often driven my 4 X4s across rivers. BUT Thats not the reason for my snorkel, it,s merly to get the air inlet above the 1 metre high Dust cloud on our dirt roads. Often worried about the water coming in the Open windows, as it is above the bonnet, & only a little lower at the window sill. Lucky me, all went well, & nobody came to grief. My biggest trip & convoy was approximately 80 4X4s, traveling NSW, SA, NT, Queensland & then back to Sydney . Those without snorkels had to chang air filters every other day, spacesailor

Does ' carbon monoxide ' have any effect, on an IC motor. AND IF. Exhaust gas is so bad for an engine !, why have " Reticulated Exaust Gas " systems on motor vehicles . AND If those engine manufacturers make/endorse a modification. WHY Does this government refuse to allow modifications. spacesailor

Wasn't, it Keeting that ruined that ' caravan industry ' in Australia. Now nearly all are made in China . spacesailor
