Sounds like the pilot managed to communicate very well considering.

We used to use it as confirmation of accurate flying. I managed it on my F 27 conversion and it nearly went on it's back. Not real clever actually, but that;s how things were before simulators were doing the job a lot more safely. Nev

It's fake. Story here DragonAir 737 Caught In Typhoon? No, This Is A Fake Video

I've been following his channel too lately. I wouldn't mind having just 10% of his energy and can do attitude. I think I'm more of a Project Binky man.

Thanks for posting, there are some great videos there, I'll be working my way through them. I suppose everyone has seen Henry TrikeLife's channel, but if not, it's worth a look also.

I notice the military guys were the first to run away from the scene.

What type of battery?

Its amazing how much damage an airliner can take and still keep flying.

Or not.http://i7.tinypic.com/258m33o.jpg

Space.com is reporting it’s down in the South Pacific.

Good move Phil. If you'd played the polite english gent, you'd probably both be dead now.

They burn the thrusters on the ISS from time to time to keep it up there. Here's a demo of what happens when they do.

Very entertaining.

How to spend millions of dollars in just one second.

Lucky to get out of that alive.

There's a name for that, a psychology term when drawn towards something you see and fear without your control, anyone know it?Dr Bex.

G'day Colin. So whats this about a divorce?

Oops

At the company cafeteria, Joe says to Mike, "My elbow hurts like hell. I guess I'd better see a doctor."

"Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money," Mike replies.

"There's a diagnostic computer down at Aldi. Just give it a urine

sample and the computer will tell you what's wrong and what to do about

It. It takes ten seconds and costs five bucks. A lot quicker and cheaper than a

doctor." So, Joe deposits a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to Aldi.

He deposits five dollars and the computer lights up and asks for the

urine sample. He pours the sample into the slot and waits.

Ten seconds later, the computer ejects a printout:

"You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water and avoid heavy

activity. It will improve in two weeks. Thank you for shopping at Aldi"

That evening, while thinking how amazing this new technology was, Joe

began wondering if the computer could be fooled.

He mixed some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, urine samples

from his wife and daughter, and a sperm sample from himself for good measure.

Joe hurries back to Aldi's, eager to check the results. He deposits

five dollars, pours in his concoction, and awaits the results.

The computer prints the following:

1. Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. (Aisle 9)

2. Your dog has ringworm. Bathe him with anti-fungal shampoo. (Aisle 7)

3. Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab.

4. Your wife is pregnant. Twins. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer.

5. And If you don't stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never get better.

Thank you for shopping at Aldi.

He was very lucky!

Inspired by the R-101 thread, I thought I'd put up this link to a fascinating free doco on YouTube about Lady Grace Drummond Hay and the 1929 circumnavigation of the world by the Zeppelin.

Here's the lady

Yes the Westfield had a 20v blacktop engine and I used to wonder how it would go in an Anglia . Would be interested in how you get on with that project. Drop in to ozclubbies.com.au sometime, there’s a lot of interesting projects going on there.

Ironically the current project is also a kind of scale Mustang. A Ford Mustang that is in the shape of an RA28 Celica (the Japanese mustang) running a 1UZ V8. I specialise in Toyota and all my projects are Toyota powered. I'm thinking of using the 1GZ V12 in a scale P-51

I'm approaching this as it being my one and only chance to do something like this in my lifetime. I don't see me building or owning multiple aircraft in the future so I'm aiming to do what I want the first time :) I'm quite aware of the work involved and time frame required. There is always going to be new developments as you say but you can't always hang out waiting for the new technology. That TV I purchased last month is already outdated.......Sure one can go out and purchase their own complete aircraft but the build itself is something I have always wanted to do. From my youth, building and flying R/C aircraft from scratch, the passion for a REAL plane has always been there. I obtained my PPL decades ago which has since expired and, unfortunately, haven't flown in many years. I have also spent a few years of my career as an AME so the ins and outs of aircraft are not new to me. I have and currently do have automotive projects on the go so believe I have the skills required to pursue such a build.
