    From the forties , till the latest motor off the production line . The chance of a breakdown has Allmost disappeared. How many here Still carry tools & spares. I DON'T. Routine maintenance beats waiting for the stoppage, every time . BUT I still have problems,! , with 25 year old battery terminals failing to charge , one of a dual battery system . Another dead flat battery to adorn the garden . Until I need more lead for something or other . spacesailor

    The 1938 VW Beetle type 60 , was designed by '' Ferdinand Porsche " .in 1935 . So must have been a good design to last that long . The ' new ' half VW ' MOTOR , can have many refinement's, including : " Nicasil " ! , ( Nicel Silicon Carbide ) electroplating . with " Electronic ignition " , on two ' spark-plugs ' per head . which seems good for a " half " 1935 designed motor . spacesailor

    The ' twins ' can land on " warehouses " like the one in Melbourne. spacesailor

    BUT To change " same for same " should Not be MARAP . As there Is No change ! . spacesailor

    MUCH BETTER . THAN. A Chinese Super cheapi that when unboxed ! , fails to ignite the " firecracker banger " , Then those " cords " that hold you to the canopy , Hope it's not recycled old rope ! . spacesailor

    Just tell them !. No ' New Bolly prop ' , but will keep the OLD one . Please return remittance. I wonder what the response will be. spacesailor

    I will miss watching the aircraft ' coming & going " from Mascot airport. The airport on " Mr Badgery Creek land . Will impact most of Western Sydney I learnt to fly Autogyro's there . spacesailor

    The VW is the only motor that has stood the test of time ! . 1938 ish to 2000 . spacesailor

    Well !. One microlite flew into an ' airshow/flyin ' i attended , ( Rylsone ) Looked good , but a little small for standardAustralian heavier bodies. spacesailor

    Not quite right. Truckies often run red lights, but , do Not get fined . ( 0.04 second for me $ 480 fine ). Only those hidden camera's get them . Discresion by they police for ' Profesional drivers ' . Was the reason spacesailor

    The END of !. LITiGATION . Do like NZ , were they made it illegal to SUE . Simple ! , even thro I lost out . By their gross incompitance . They refused to put a lock on a door , containing ' boiling salt ' . Or to put said door at a differant place , to leave an escape for the worker . NO compensation at ALL . spacesailor

    BUT ! Why must a property owner " own " the aircraft flying on his land ? . I have been offered a NT property ( north of " Gemtree " ) to look after the house-property. AND fly too my hearts content . spacesailor

    Answer I have tried three " jumpstart " packs . As answered " hook it up & crank the motor, thats were the excess current heated the cables, & disconnected by melting the soldered terminals . The third one I do not " crank the engine " with it connected. Only top up the couple of volts in the ' starting batteries ' from the 8 amp ( 8000 mah ) jumpstart . spacesailor

    Lithium jump starter packs are good , If you buy Quality , Thats the problem , hook-up your jump-pack then watch the 'power cable detatch by the heat meltiing the 'soft soldered ' connections . The way to work them is to ' charge the leadacid battery , then start the motor . spacesailor .
  16. spacesailor
    A ' lead-acid ' , Accumulator is 2.2 volt , A bank / Battery , of 6 accumulators will give you 13,2 volts . Simples. spacesailor

    When I started! , ALL CARS had the ' winder-key ' through the " bumper " , ( staring-handle ) to start the motor whenever the battery power was low . Most aircraft could be ' hand- started ' , SO ! What is needed now ?, perhaps a , " super-sized " jump-starter !. spacesailor

    AND THEN ! . There's that useless poison they will keep addind to our drinking water , ' fluoride ' . Most of Europe have banned it , " as it Does Not improve water quality and safety " . Proven to damage brain cells , or so the opposition tells us . It's a byproduct of aluminium production . spacesailor

    I watched a doco about those same ' world trade centre' having structural problems because of Rust in the steel columns due to welders removing the lagging , then not painting or anything to prevent corrosion . And no way to demolish the building. spacesailor

    Will that be with Batteries, spacesailor

    I know of someone, who imported a container load of American cars , then engineered them to ' left-hand drive ' to make a Big profit . It should be easier with those electric cars cars , no clutch, or emissions to worry about . spacesailor

    aro said . '' Or they could create a new CAO copied from CAO 95.10, change the weight etc. to reflect FAR 103 and delete the stuff about RAA. '' . Don't forget that ' wing loading rule ' . to let the Hummle Bird aircraft back into 95-10 category . Then a little more weight for more power & we'll be ' soaring like an eagle . LoL spacesailor

    Excellent , I & my soninlaw would love to do a similar trip. IF, only I could get him to get a passport . spacesailor

    We use ' Eastern Australia ' And that doest exist either . Perhaps the word should be ' warmer Australia ' . As it's cold here in the Eastern Australia. spacesailor

    RAA only uses ALL UP WEIGHT Including fatter pilots !. Not a lot of 63.5 klgms Australians left in the over 40 age group . spacesailor
