Cheers Gareth, it was good talking with you! Funny bumping into you again at the restaurant today, but Hobart's a small place. Glad you got home ok and hope QLD clears up this latest cluster pretty quick.

What am I thinking of? Must be "scrum". I dunno - don't follow sports. I remember there was one bloke called Hopoate who liked whatever it was.

He might just be a rugby fan.

Actually I think the entire post was correct. Plus I thought it was easier keeping things here on Earth rather than sticking them in Uranus...

Mass remains the same, weight is an effect on mass by gravity. Simple to change, if you apply a force of 10G to something with a mass of 0.3kg it will weigh 3kg. If you want it demonstrated, put a 0.3kg weight in a centrifuge on a scale (at the outside) which reads out somewhere visible. As the centrifuge spins up your scale will show the increasing weight until it's 3kg. Postal money order or bank transfer will be fine.

Zenith leave it up to the builder, so it'd vary from aircraft to aircraft. Mark alodynes a lot of his ally which would protect it even without the black goop. A lot of 701 builders use no primer at all. I went for the middle ground of just using a Dulux etch primer on all surfaces that are joined. Worth noting that 701's are made of 6061-T6 which itself has corrosion resistant properties. But it depends on where it's been left outside - dry hot climate, probably not a problem, but anywhere with rain could pose a lot of problems over 10 years.

Is that the one that someone had stolen the engine from?

Looks nice! I don't know much about pricing, but it seems good value.

You can get polycarbonate at pretty much any plastics supplier. I got mine at a local one, Associated Plastics I think it was. As Mark says, not real expensive.

The good thing about it is you can make pretty much every part yourself. If you do end up getting it and ever need help, I have the plans plus rib formers etc for most parts.

Pricks. If you were going to go to the trouble of stealing the engine, it'd probably be an idea to prop the tail up on something and screw the cowls back on. From a distance you wouldn't notice anything wrong with it.

Done, Dazz.

Zoom in here. http://www.google.com/maps/place/Tunbridge+TAS+7120/@-41.9001248,147.4798825,220m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0xaa71ad8e622b4f1b:0x403c94dd0ddffc0!8m2!3d-42.1429478!4d147.4213357 There's a Varieze (or LongEz, don't know which) sitting at the end of a strip just north of Campbelltown. It's apparently been rotting away there for years. Visible from the highway - I look at it and shake my head every time I drive past.

Russian, is he?

Certainly looks like a fun machine. I don't think I'd fit.

PM sent Gareth. Hope nothing happens with the borders between now and then!

Is that a double cup holder on each side?

Alea jacta est! (All my latin is from Asterix comics)

That guy should buy a lotto ticket, just in case it's a run of incredibly good luck.

Can't wait til you get the rest of the aircraft built too!! 😁

Haven't seen this before. Pilatus PC-24 doing a landing and takeoff at the Vale airstrip in Sheffield, Tassie. Australia Day this year, by the looks of it. https://www.facebook.com/The-Vale-Farm-and-Airstrip-106232996137062/

I like the big speed brakes. Just open the back doors. (Closing them again may be an issue.)

Seems to be missing a tail and any sort of propulsion. Is it dropped from a passing RPT?

I reckon C and D go backwards.

Really nice Kyle! Jeez you've worked quickly. Well done on getting so much accomplished. "STOL Devils" huh! 😄
