[Cappy had picked up the old CIA code sending a message in clear sight to his fellow embedded agents, but we can't tell you what it is]
  3. They all have carbies not only on top of the engine but sitting in the V. But they are V8 cars of course, so we need to translate to 912. If you want to put a carby on top of a 912 you just need a flame-proof drain tube exiting below the engine and outside the cowl. What's a lot more important is to ensure air intake filters are not flammable. A good backfire into the air filters loved by the aftermarket are good for a 2 metre high flame.
  4. In Victoria after a certain age, the licence period shortens and you have to make a health Declaration (the one RA pilots fell in love with). Don’t try to fudge it because you only need a small accident and if you aren’t fit it’s trouble big time.
  5. RC stands for Radio Control. The Aerobatic class has approval to operate in the Danger Zones of the Moorabbin Training area up to 1000 feet.
  6. They're about the size of an RC Aerobatic aicraft.
  7. If you think its a training wheel better to leave it on the trailer.
  8. .............like extreme blondes (NTTIAWWT) tended to disappoint, particularly when the big ends started knocking. Turbo had been lurking around the hangar trying to get a photo to put in the Silly photos category before this monster spilt its guts all over the airport, when he came across an old Jab in need of a good wash. It had what used to be called a dickie seat behind the other two. The pilot was working on the engine with an over-sized wrench, then another came out from the workshop holding a freshly washed set of grommets followed by another one pushing a trolley. They all looked the same; they all sounded the same; when one winked, the others winked; when one spoke the others spoke in the same tone and syntax. They were identical twins. Turbo called Cappy over and whispered ...............
  9. It's not an upgrade, looks like a classic development. Figures about right for that.
  10. Piper Archer, 180 hp, non-tapered constant chord wing is a PA-28-180 (PA-28-181 - the 1 denotes taper) The PA-28 family is a big one and they fly differently: https://www.pilotmall.com/blogs/news/piper-archer-the-reliable-family-flyer#:~:text=The family of aircraft which,and PA-28-160 Cherokee
