The plane took one hour to cover almost, the point to point distance as I did by road, my milage ( kiloige ) was greater on the clock !. IF My car was the lowest fuel user, I would have been forced into staying at an expensive hotel/motel, as well as eating out !. My fuel cost in the delica are offset by having a bed ( comfortable double ) at call. Plus all that l need for camping ( in the outback ). Great for the ' bad back people', strech out & rest any were, including while the misus is shopping. LoL spacesailor

You can spend More on fuel, then less on accommodation. ( Winnibago type ) It is the same in the long run. I took a couple of days to get from ( near) Orange, to a airshow, ( @12,5 l p hundred ) A flyer came in after a one hour flight ( from Orange ) using 21 lphour ( avgas ). Who used the most fuel ? ( 21 l /100 or 12.5 l / 100 ). spacesailor

I saw a group of four R Vs , in a diamond formation, overflying Prospect NSW. This morning. They were proceeded by two Pit specials. On rout to Bankstown airport. Any member,s from this forum, ?. Spacesailor

And ! Half V W motor,s have no mixture, or heating control either. At 140 mph V N E isn,t slow, so shouldn,t need that ' low performance ' rating either. I think some aircraft do need a ' poor performance ' rating, to keep them out of newspaper headlines. spacesailor

But !. You have that Big fan out front. LoL spacesailor

JEALOUS. I paid a awful lot more $s using the ferry, Plus national park fee,s & then the private camping area fee,s. Ferry $ 260, / National Park $ 27 peir night family camp, then a private camp area run by a Queensland university. SO Can l get a ride on the next trip ,. LOL spacesailor

And l thought & still think !. The Hummelbird, Is a fancy, Super aircraft. The one built to suit the pilot. NOT a bottom line , of the producers bank account, AND if you are too tall, or too rotund, it wii grow to your needs. spacesailor

3.856i litres per hour @ 100 mph !. ( 61mpg ). N504LD Now thats the go !. spacesailor

The best ( worse ), wheels up landing. A flying boat being filmed, hade,nt extended the wheels, landing on it,s keel. Quickly powering up to go around, then after landing the keel damage was filmed. spacesailor

I chickened out & removed my blanking plate, when traveling South Australia. That,s were they fined All the Jackaroo,s for not having compliance for the dicky seats. Plus a lot more wasted lube oil, with E G R, 5,000 ks oil change. Most diesels go 10 000, without an E G R . Oil gets very black with an egr, even at 5,000 k, but without it,s looks cleaner at 7,000 ks. spacesailor

And that E G R really sucks, see a hill, foot down, get to that hill, and floor it. The same vehicle with a blanking plate, gets half way up the hill Without putting pedal to the metal. AND WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT TO YOUR ECONOMY. From 14.5 lph, down to 12 lph klmts. Just keeping that turbo spinning helps the econom. spacesailor

UREA Are you taking the Pxxx !. Uric aci or a product very similar is used in gardening, or males peeing under the citrus tree. Also is said to Very harmful to your lliver !. Thousands of males can supply a vast amount of it, after a night on the grog !. LoL Also used in tanning leather. spacesailor

turboplanner Now the ' burnoff smoke ' is killing us !. Both my wife & I, had a bad time with that thick smoke over Sydney. The hospital said pneumonia, now they say partial collapsed lung, with scarring. The wife is having breathing problems even today. And they keep the number that died very quiet. spacesailor

As long as that Vegy oil doesn't light up. Bunnings , Mistral 1 litresmoke/ fog oil. $ 15. spacesailor

No offence !. But Do you also mean ' Syphilis ' , & all those other S T's. And ' Alcohol related liver ' problems. Smoking cancer. The list goes on. I'm lucky !, with lots of ' blood transfusions ' l haven't got aid s. spacesailor

I think it will help the ' over temp head ' problem when the fuel detonates, The ' blurb ' says Cooler without detonation. Our Jabiru motorneeds a ' antidetination module ' . spacesailor

The company l read about is. " Transient Plasma Systems ". Just in case anyone is interested, !. Can make your engine run very lean too. spacesailor .

Just read about a NEW ' ignition system ', utilising Plasma . Have to have a special sparkplug, then all the extra electronic modules to bolt on an existing engine. They say a increase in power,& economy plus, a decrease in pollution. Sounds interesting ' IF ' its not B S. spacesailor

Almost on par with those electric Tesla cars, !. Very expensive in comparison to the standard Toyota. Car that is. spacesailor

I always thought the bronze-age was the Worse carbon release in any history. They had to burn many trees to meke bronze from raw copper !. Burn the tree to make charcoal, burn that charcoal to make the fire hot enough to make Bronze, for ! WAR. Then came Nuclear bomb testing, that burt untold cubic miles of OXYGEN. spacesailor

When this world was a frozen " snow ball" . Who ( in their fight mind ) would prefer That, to our tropical paradise . Before the date of " snowball earth .) l suspect it would be a little warmer than it is NOW ,. spacesailor

When all is lost !. We go back to STEAM POWER !. After all it was only Bureaucracy that killed it. ( weight tax ). They run on any fuel, liquid or solid, even nuclear. spacesailor

Iv,e never recycled a lead acid battery !. Had to get my Fishing weights from somewhere & my diving weights, to day,s batteries are not much cop for collecting lead. Putting me out of that Job. LoL spacesailor

Geof, Hummel make a ' FAR part 103 ' aircraft just as you describe. The only ' all metal Ultralight ', BUT Not for Australia Comes in ' plans, kit,& anything in between ', their words. spacesailor

Fire extinguisher,s are a waste !. When used on Other people's property. You,d be lucky to get a " thak you " after puting out a car fire, knowing it Will be trucked away & written off by the insurance Company. ' let it burn ' is not such a bad thing when there,s no good at the end !. I have lost two now, for others fires !. spacesailor
