  4. airframe will be a low wing ,design will be a mixture of some existing airframes but personalised mods, nothing to drastic , just a safe flying craft , i have given myself 18 mths to build and am steadily aquiring parts , will start the airframe this time next year, i will then have all the parts req ,will be looking for some advise for electrics , will need to contract you for some final finishing work on electrics cheers Gareth

  7. I had a Jag for a few years , it was called :Gareth,s Folly: 2 engines by other so called experts,1 engine rebuilt by me aaand then I put a small block chevy in, kept it for 1 more year then sold it to a bikie who rebuilt it as a concourse car, he spent 35k and only drove to shows, jags are not good cars
  8. His strip is closed , houses built up all around very dense suburbia now
  9. Hi Nobody, you have quoted the costs for air shows in other countries that are far superior to what we get here in Aus, Avalon being the exception,the shows there are better run, have more static displays and showcase,more industry ,I could go on , we are minnows in the big scheme , Australia used to host better airshows but as with aviation in general its downward, I just want to fly and the odd airshow would be great but the costs associated take the cash away from flying to places I want see, my 2 bobs worth cheers gareth
  10. anyone who flys in should pay minimal entry, it costs us to fly there and the non flying people who want to see all types of aircraft should pay those fees, it does cost to put airshows on but aviators especially those who fly great distance to get there should be subsidised cheers Gareth (another RV owner )
  11. From your description you are at boonah 22 and 04 talk to nigel arnot
  12. and say anything about a muslim you have islamiphobia or a bigot or a redneck, lefties gone mad , same as homophobia we are all homophobic ,
  13. i must be an idiot and cannot read and don't fly , what a stupid comment, just goes to show there is nothing between your ears .idiot
  14. AvPlan very good, also easyVFR usable
  15. Not any more , Casa would not allow this
  16. As I said Franco "would" if that happened in AUs ,dont know about the regs in USA cheers Gareth
  17. Casa would have a heart attack , must be breaking some regs there , why jump off a perfectly safe aircraft
  18. we used them for our Morgan build, reasonable priced and easy to get ,fits the o/d pipe for brakes and rudder , simple but effective , easy to install and very little wear on the bushing well done , making it easy for the builder
  19. got my renewal 3 weeks ago , 2 years before I have to get it with the new requirements
  20. Crop dusting from a Foxbat, methinks not
  21. don't mention money ,wink wink nudge nudge
  22. I am only" judging" Neil on his writing on this forum,he probably as you suggest a very nice chap,but if Niel wants us to hear and heed what he is writing on the forum he needs to check what he has written,as you say we have not all had the same education(and I put myself in that bracket to) maybe some help to write ,if I have derided Neil I apologise cheers Gareth
