" fly unneighbourly area ", Please enlighten us poor non flyers. spacesailor

' not worth ' But the materials are free, And it gives that Old bbq a workout. ( never used one for cooking )LoL spacesailor

Then make ' lead ' fishing weights.they,r worth more than that scrap value. spacesailor

I must be too !. ( addicted to batteries ) Dozens of dead ones in my yard. LoL When my shed gets over 50c it,s the end of any AGM batteries Not on the floor. They seem to dry out, then they,r dead. : l,m trying a ' roasting tray ' with a little water to keep the last new one good. spacesailor

My instructor was great love flying with him, no problems there, told me ' ready for solo ' !. But. The chief instructor made really nervouse, every thing l did, was Not to his liking . Actually told me " l was wasting my money & his time ' . Not much point in carrying on in that situation, knowing he is the one to pass or fail you.. Never flew or made any improvements on my ' dream machine ) . Maybe in the next life, LoL spacesailor PS, my grandaughter took her first TIF ( out at Camden ) really enjoyed it, and wants another flight, but will have to wait after her last year of uni exams..

Big lack of confidence. Caused by bad teachers, ( demobed ex army ). spacesailor

Not my problem !. No, carbie heat, No electric fuel pump, No flaps, No battery. ,. AND No passengers. PLUS No bloodi licence. Boo hoo. Why does this world revolve around ' academic licence '. To the detriment of enything else. spacesailor

A bigger light needed !. ( not brighter ) spacesailor

You can design your own car !. But It Will still be according to the government's dictatumm,. So Your design or their,s. Your plane design , IF it complies with THEIR, design parimiters. spacesailor

I,ll ask my grandson when he,s finished his drifting at EASTERN CREEK this weekend. spacesailor

Methanol fires are doused by water, no expensive fire retard,nt equipment needed. spacesailor

It !,, Depends on the cloth of those pants. Wool is best by far. Cotton comes a distant second. Synthetics should NOT be worn. No insulation plus they do burn, INTO the skin. . spacesailor

What about ' metres per second ', IT IS Metric !. spacesailor

Perhaps !, After 100 years of war,s then having a general making laws to prohibit English words to be spoken in France. ( lorry ). The old Allies have taken a dislike to the old enimy. ( gave the Poms a hard time getting into that common market ) Very glad we don,t have German DIN metric, or even the Japanese metric. Then theirs the problem of which unit to go to , Kg,a / Kg,m□ / Bar ! . spacesailor

That asi and all ' instruments ' are ONLY an indicator. Just mark on the dial your knot , then mark the outside in metric. American , English & French. K I S Easy !? spacesailor PS , my new compressor guage has more the than one metric !. Klga, kpm, bar, plus someother yet to be acknowledged symbol.

Unless the Extreme opossite happens. " a novice game hunter lost in Africa, climbed a tree to try & find his position, and companions He slipped and got caught by his clothing, upside-down, trapped without any hope of rescue. He shot himself tbrough the head !. His companions, in a gully ( out of his sight ), heard the shot, only to find him beyond help.". Heard on the news in the fifties or sixties. spacesailor

In my youth l have had ' Peter ' & Lister ' hand cranked diesels running backwards ,. Luckely l suvived with all my fingers intack. Those Dammed hand cranks Don,t let go, when in reverse ! & will break both your arms, easily. Rusten Bycrus dragline machines have a ' donkey ' engine to start the big engine with not much room for a large handle flaying about spacesailor

Or !. Just block the Exhaust pipe !. Works on the principal, that it can,t keep the fire burning with a blocked chimney. Even a big v8 will stall when backed into the drainage ditch at macay airport. . Long time ago, but some could remember, running over to assist the poor embarrassed motorist. Yours truly spacesailor

Mitsubishi 4M40 turbo diesels have ' throttle bodies ' ,. It stops ' runaway ' diesels, when there,s too much fuel in the sump. Leaking fuel pump O ring, does that, then the sump fuels the motor. Reverse running diesels will suck up the tail pipe and go to uncontrolled revs, then self destruct. spacesailor

He threw that 5 ton of Haggis around the container, clearing the area any fish as far as you can see. Then-------------

I said it. AND It does look like a Hummel tail fin, same cockpit door & canopy, with an Upgraded tailplane/ elevator . spacesailor

Passenger endorsement is rediculouse. ALL TRAINEES start with a passenger & have to keep that ' passenger ' untill SOLO is achieved. spacesailor

So like a HUMMEL aircraft !. spacesailor

Heavey restaining parts for holding your wire !. Try ' super glue ', a little ( a half inch ( American )) between the wire and what it leans on, works SUPER., spacesailor

Glued soldered joints !. DRY JOINTS. Alway fail, especially when temperature varies. spacesailor
