G'day Sandy, the trials and tribulations (eventually....or is that eventfully/) of kitbuilding! Wow, 1000# empty is sure a load for an ea81 ! I think the way to jump up to the task is probably to check out Ram heads.......http://www.ramengines.com/index.html . Up to 140 hp, modified heads and cams et al . Worth a look. Good luck and welcome .

Or just go back under the rock from whence he comes !

David , I do hope you get to cross it off your wish list.

?? not ....length!

Don't forget the 5 to 8, one hundred hourlies.

G'day Mike, out of interest; is the filter a paper element type??

obviously ..NOT ..Bob Hoover !

your not alone! [ not that it's worth much anyway!]

But it turned out , ....... it was his dog with a hair-lip! (Mark! Mark!)

Any-one know where copies of Bill Whitney's book(s) are available? He previously advertised in the "rag" ; no longer.......and I've lost his contact details .

I'm not going to get into the wrestling match here...or anywhere for that matter, but to shed some light on your question; I was at Bolly this day and saw the Jabiru decalled props which they have been supplying for "some-time now"(sic). They are pretty impressive with a hub root about twice the diameter of standard Bolly/Warp/etc. I think if you had a prop strike it'd rip the engine off the firewall! (don't know if that's a good thing...don't ask me how I know) They make a very fine piece of kit and are excellent people to deal with. (...plug over) . And if the rego was'nt in a bl**dy pile somewhere in Fyshwick I'd be tempted!

That's how 'they' do it ............on the plans anyway!

Using CHROME...........I have signed; by removing the '# share'...............I bring it up for people that may not know the "trick'.

can't access with the "#share" at the tail of the link!

........Oh! Thanks Jim . OK so why does the 'sms' as required need a consensus of the 'board' to implement the fore-mentioned sms?

quote{ "RAAus has been aware of the need for inventing a SMS, for over two years (maybe many more than two) but due to lack of consensus by the board nothing has been done. And it looked like nothing was continuing to be done in spite of all the board's deliberations. " (end quote) } I'm a simpleton!....I know , so that's OK (with me) ; How-ever if the RAA deed of agreement with CASA , 'REQUIRES' an SMS Officer, why the Bl**dy hell does it need a consensus from a disfunctional board of representatives. As I said .....I'm a simpleton! Seems to me it's as 'they' say .....it's a no-brainer !! So tell me why?...............(please.......keep it simple)

..........................................

Turbo, I'll put my hand up!! You supply the rest............ I'll shout the Grange!

nice to see the GREEN around there Mike,...never seen it like that before................nice!

AFAIK.......Jabbie engines can be a bit problematic with cooling in a pusher config. As I say AFAIK ! Could be wrong..........wouldn't be the first time.............or the last.

Anyone know who our candidates are? Sue ......................Maj...

Damn......."they" used to say it was the Chinese that were inscrutable!!............Oh! then there was Vietnam!

interesting to note the generation of comtrails.....close-up!...... and I was always led to believe they were wing tip vortices. Thanks for posting
