  5. "........C me" Soph was as smart as a rat and this reference to the unfortunate doings of the originasl C on a Hawaiian beach were not lost on C-8 who immediately fell into that grovelling whine, and with the help of Turbo in behavioural norms (Cappy's normas as we know are a lot more base) he managed, not only to hide the affair from the press who were always chasing Cessna crashes anyway, but from the inner circle of BoB for decades.........

  7. The industry has only got itself to blame for using Pidgin English to describe the process; it has cost them a lot of years in the take-up schedule.

In the days before Wagga Wagga became a bespoke, woke, effeminate shadow of the real Riverina era, the 4 Cs as they called themselves would walk the streets with their sawn offs bulging their dacks. None of them had terribly good memories, so they walked with their legs apart, just in case they'd forgotten to put the safetys on. Most Waggans gave them a wide berth, but there is always someone who wants to put his finger in a saw to see what would happen and Alastair McCracken, a Palestinian refugee. Cappy's hand flashed down to pull out the sawn off, but he'd grabbed the wrong one and ............

  11. ....the DACPF has its own Section VIII. This Department, like some Australian Government equivalents has some people wetting themselves at the clever ploy of not mentioning Cappy, and so not alerting him that whenever he passes through Customs and gets the special big stamp 8 on his passport, to the crew of four burley Tahitian Warriors in white suits driving a Chrysler 300, and tailing his executive Thruster all over the Islands.

  16. I've flown BUN; hit a flock of galahs coming in to land at Cootamundra. If you have to throw an aircraft at a golf course, you couldn't get a better airctraft to help you.
  17. ........large Greec Flag trailing behind so low that it appeared to cut the land in two. Of course, within a few hours there were AI imitations of this where the flag was Austrian, Italian, Canadiern, Frence, Russiane, and even Mongrellian. Then there were the AI aircraft variants including Da Vinchy's's flying machine and then under the guise of "Rod's Page, or Ken's Page, or Dominic's page, a variety of odd aircraft, and even one headed bull's page, with a Greec bull running in front of a Tasmanian flag. It looked like his thru-bolt was about to fail and just as Turbo shouted a warning ............
  18. .......reading up on Scorates whom he'd never seen quoted, even in the Library of Alexandria, which he visited regularly. The first thing he found was that Sco maintained that he'd designed the original Jackaroo. This showed that the ancient Greeks possessed the skill of time-travel. The enigma was if you were skilled at time-travel, why would you go out in the cold to the airport, fix the leaks and go flying in a XXXXXXX Jackaroo? Sco (after a quick trip from ancient times) ...........
  19. One day segments; long trips can be through multiple, and different, weather sequences, and sometimes different every 2 or 3 hours.
  20. .....locked so cute, and handily shut down the usual spittle flow that was the main hazard when talking to that lot. Turbo always carried a "CC Free Pass" which dated from a time when he was driving in the outback and came across a distressed C-C beside his broken down Harley. He was out of food and about to consume the last of his water, and had written a note which even Scorates would have had a problem reading. Turbo didn't do the unthinking "Gotta problem mate?" Instead he fed the C-C with steak and caviar washed down by a Penfolds Grange, which was all he was carrying, and kicked the old Harley over a few times. He recognised the problem immediately - broken gugeon pin and piston, so he cut a bit off the end of one of the Land Cruiser's mounting bolts, cut off the bottom of the Grange Bottle, used some "never fail" putty to make bosses, washed out the Harley and replaced the oil with genuine Toyota synthetic 15w30 oil and she fired first kick. Aside from the CC Free Pass which has saved Turbo on numerous occasions when he couldn't help saying "How are they hanging girls!" he gets one free Clubroom entry voucher every year when "Gary" as we'll call him (he's wanted by QPS) writes to report another cylinder rebuilt each year, but the "Turbo Grange" still holding 148 and running flawlessly. It was at one of these free nights that Turbo......................

Mention of Steve-of-Loxley brings back memories of how the NES got this site off the ground and into mainstream high-volume use. It was Steve's question "When you are building a plane out of beer cans, do you have to empty them first. The over - 1500 answers set the tone for the next decade

  23. Just did a search and found 11 on the VH Register - all listed as Bristell S-LSA. The missing aircraft 23 2180 is also claimed to be a Bristell S-LSA but is not shoing in the RAA Register as of today.
  24. You should have a look at some new products going through dealer delivery; plenty of opportunities in a system which is not operating on the same reliability level as GA. We wanted the aircrtaft cheap so we could afford them; they haven't been through the same build procedure or processing procedure etc.
  25. People who have never had an engine failure usually never plan for one, and you read in the newspapers they were killed by a "freak" event/breakage/failure that had never happened before; if we are talking about home builts, a lot of things can fail, so just for interest, if we decided the glide area between Georgetown in the south and Leongatha in the north (for the exercise we'll forget about the nearest landable surfaces and we pick the midway point where we stop doing a 180 turn to bo back and start opting to land straight ahead), in your aircraft what altitude would you need to be flying? The next question would be what would be the expected cloud ceiling for the flight. I don't know how many people know the glideslope for the aircrtaft they are flying but I'd huess less than 100%. The reason for the recommended routes are that for most flights based on the weather forecast you will be able to plop on to solid ground from a relatively low altitude if an emergency occurs. Not illegal Not it's not; we left the era where an authority would "outlaw" something and people would claim millions for their lost parent because the rules missed a minor point. Today you have the duty of care for the safety of anyone you carry or hit etc. so you decided, and history tells us that if you don't want to lose the farm, you better be relying on a legally sustantive point. Not recommended This allows authorities to point out the danger, and since you have the Duty of Care you need to find something to ptotect yourself. Industry Safety Standards are a good place to start looking, and following Industry recommendations is a very good idea. Not uncommon One of the most common Bass Strait crossers was an overnight freight Bristol Freighter. One night the engine failed and the pilot went down, never to be found. So sure people have made multiple crossings, one guy has even paddled a surfboard across, but again, you are the one that owes a duty of care; it's your pocket.
