OK, yes it's a LightWing, BUT this I think is a one off Howie made trying to build a more modern glass fuse. The idea was then carried over to the SPEED. Not sure about the 912 cowl, as I thought this aircraft was built with a two stroke? :confused: Arthur. (The Login Pirate!) :devil:

HOW DIFFERENT In New Guinea only a few years ago, old Tokua airport, near Rabaul, there was a sign on the wall of the passenger terminal - "No more than 50 rounds of ammunition allowed in your hand luggage" Wish I had taken a picture of it then - no one would believe me now! The funny thing is - it all seemed so normal then !

ADSB for ultralights? Forget it! Lets have our own. ADS-VFR ADSB is in the Gigahertz range - high frequency - line of site. Cellular phone stuff. Even if it is free, the regular certification would put it out of our $ range. How about our own? ADS-VFR for us? You heard the astronaughts in their communications where there was a beep whenever the talker let go the transmit button instead of saying "OVER" ? What if the beep was replaced by a burst of code containing position, direction, and height? The audio (yes, just AUDIO ) would be less than a one second burst containing this valuable information. An average hobbyist could program a chip to carry out the computation in the intercom unit. All a developer needs is a standard to make it worthwhile. It would be quite feasible, technically to have some info pop up on a small text display, showing the range, direction, and height of the last caller. Ever been flying with a friend and found that shortly after takeoff you cannot see him, but you know he is close? Surely it would be great to know where he is in relation to yourself each time he lets go of the transmit button! ;):;)1::;)5:

RED BULL Got that in my calendar too. I have heard some hunter valley fliers are also flying across. Have just seen the clock tower recently - didn't think it was that big, but haven't seen it fom the air. Jack. wanabigaplane

Shadow Wow, Arthur, most impressed. :star::star: Would really like a copy of the original at some stage, thanks. Jack.

Yes, please keep us posted, Clem. Very interested. Jack.

Beware of sod's law.

Think of all those baby boomers starting to retire and selling up their nest eggs, just looking for something to do.
