Has anybody ever found contaminants in a mr funnel from a plastic jerry can, and is there not a filter before the carbs anyway

One day I may be on the same planet ,nice to see 47

I can't see the problem as class D is a parachute ,it's originally designed to be used with no motor at all

The truth is out

You can't see his face,maybe he's a dentist

Needs to be sub $25 000 or buy a aerochute and have two seats and fly safer

So is this legal here ?

Pacific flyer front page May 2014 "the excitment spread across Austraia"where is that?

My old and only ASIC card has no dates on it .does this mean it lasts forever ?

How can you give up flying once it's in your blood? You will just get a bigger pain in the neck from looking up all the time

Two hours of taxi runs?no way.... Just start it up and go as normal, few laps around the field just incase it all go quiet then off you go ,what could go wrong?

I accept all of the comments, warnings and experiences of others but I have not personally experienced this phenomena myself at all.I used to own various 2 & 4 stroke engines on various bits of equipment when I had a 20 acre block. My big 85cc Husqvarna 380 chainsaw new in 1984 was used mainly for felling trees & cutting large rounds off felled trees for firewood & was used annually for 21 years & sold in perfect operating condition. It usually sat for 11 months with fuel in the tank & always started 2nd pull. Same with the little Homelite but it got a bit more regular use & the Stihl scrub cutter, idle in the winter. The lawnmowers, both ride on & walk behind with 4 stroke B&S & Tecumseh motors were unused for 4 months or so in the Autumn/Winter & it was only the ride on battery that had to be charged before starting in Spring with the same fuel it had in the tank in Autumn. Never had a problem & I still have the walk behind mower, now around 20 years old.

 

.......agree with this the old honda motor seems to start right up after 18 months,still like the rotax fuel to be reasonably fresh though

Now 6000 posts on this subject see pprune.org forum ,,,round and round it goes,,my bet ,it will never be found,,,ever

Over 4000 posts to read on (pprune forum)

Something like this would tick all my boxes...

I wasn't trying to point to any particular type; the question was, "what do people want in a recreational aircraft?"I

 

Here's my list:

 

I don't want open cockpits.

 

I don't want fabric covering.

 

I don't want an aircraft whose fatigue life is completely unknown.

 

I don't want a flimsy, "Reynolds Wrap" special, held together with pop rivets.

 

I don't want an aircraft whose GC limits and flight envelope limits are unknown.

 

I don't want an aircraft that is likely to overturn in an emergency landing, from which escape is then impossible.

 

I don't want an aircraft that has marginal stability in any normal flight condition; or that has poor control harmonisation.

 

I don't want an aircraft that is incapable of routinely operating from a croppie strip or a paddock.

 

I don't want a nosewheel aircraft that has either a small nosewheel or inadequate propeller clearance; I prefer taildraggers for those reasons.

 

I don't want a nosewheel aircraft whose crosswind capability is limited by "wheelbarrowing".

 

That's ten "don't wants", for starters. I could go on.

 

What's your list?

Really nice

Hoping for a ride in a rv7 ,should be fun after 152s and 172s it will be another first

Sure are,looking forward to this wa event,not enough of them

Another bloody Cessna

Or turn on there invisibility button

Gee he was just having a little fun ,what could go wrong he missed the excavator didn't he,and flew under the power lines showing how good a pilot he is ,bloody fun police.

If .I'd be doing this,,,,then smack I'm awake ,just a bad dream

He may be one of the two that got a fright flying into cloud near my place. The videos they've been posting don't give you much confidence in them.
