So from what you've said (a) RAA is bad because they couldn't tell you if fuel is available to suit you. (b) You're going. I guess you'll sort it out. We had a series of threads on safe fuels where we weeded out the specifications, the motherhood statements that had seen people lose their engines, and the Australian fuels and grades suitable for aircraft use and how to manage them with their short time-expiry. Most of this thread has gone off the track again, so I'd recommend owners to search for the detailed material.

If you’re not going why did you raise it? iOR has a stand there. Anyone flying in who is flying in can call IOR and check the fuel available and price. I can guarantee there won’t be any Mogas there. That’s a US blend of fuel.

Do you really want me to phone IOR?

Did you see what I just posted? Do you think he would set up a stand, but then pass up the opportunity to be front and central at the show for all visitors and rec flyers from his region?

I noticed this link www.flynforfun.aero Exhibitors ASRA Australian Sport Rotorcraft Association Ozrunways Bose ATEC Tecnam Rotax Jabiru Foxbat Avplan Garmin IOR Aviation Australian Sport Pilot The IOR Aviation story says" “IOR Aviation draws from IOR’s foundation knowledge of fuel handling, distribution, and fuel management technology. Through a dedicated fleet of IOR Aviation tankers, they supply Australia’s largest airlines, world class aeromedical rescue service providers, iconic tourism brands, general aviators, and the agricultural industry with a reliable supply of aviation fuel.” Looks like it might be a bit bigger than some people have been portraying. 1 day 18 hours 3 minutes 23 seconds to go.................

Mini Tankers may not service the Parkes area, but if they do you can fuel a tractor, generator, pump etc.\ The other truck is a typical local distributor for a district. The farm delivery truck usually carry about 6000 litres of fuel (4x2) or 16,000 litres 6x4 and depending on the district may have one or two bulkheads to separate the fuel types including ULP. They are usually out on farm rounds every day and will call in to drop of one 20 litre drum of lubricating oil or fill one tractor. In the cropping or cotton area the configuration can be 8x4 with a 4 axle dog trailer. The 4x2 or 6x4 would be making a stop at the airfield for a short time, just as he would for a tractor.

OK scratch that one then; they can find their own ULP, why would we bother organising the event?

I think you could be confident if someone contacted the local fuel distributor and did a deal for x number of fills over the event = x no of litres of ULP, and provided credit card dispensing to the wing.

It is compressed and looked like the new fuel for diesels for a while. Benders Bus Co at Geelong had 105 buses running on it; I did some test runs for TNT. There was a 20% power loss in the same diesel engine and to prevent explosions the tank had to be manufactured for several thousand psi capacity. The refuelling infrastructure pumped from Natural Gas from the State pipeline and had to have the capacity to compress to the same pressure as the tank. The tank would sink any RA aircraft.

I can remember, on this site trying to help you, and another person who has a lot of experience offering to help you with the path to having the Hummel-Bird flying. Why didn't you take him up on it?

Probably just needs a little more advertising and stories.

.......new aircraft is an outstanding example of aeronatic engineering crossed with the camping facilities of some of the latest off-road caravans in Australia, but without the drawbacks of wheels dropping off, water tanks leaking, radio antennas sailing and toilets jamming. The CASA FoI who had been camping in one of these painted in camo, towed by a Supoo Outback, also in camo, and had experienced all these failures this trip, became very sympathetic and all Cappy got was a caution about the rude sticker on the wing. What he didn't know was that the cunning Cappy had seen the camouflaged camp from the circuit (yes he was still one of the few who bothered to fly a circuit these days) and dressed as a Bedouin (with make up) had wandered into the camo site in his flowing white robes and asked how the trip was going. With the FoI outwitted (or so he thought) he soon had the Bushcaddy off the ground. noticing that eagle's beak stuck up in the air, the FoI realised he'd seen it before.......in his caravan........he reached for the radio mic.............................

....be expanded and equipped with robotics, because robots are capable of drilling holes in a straight line rather than wherever they feel in the mood for (and Turbo produced two photos, one where the rivets spelled out "XXXX turba" (sic) and another showing a precise line of rivets.) "Which photo shows the robot holes?" asked a particularly keen journalist. The press briefing ended with a seafood banquet and unlimited supplies of wines from the extensive cellars of Turbine Vineyards Ltd. The stories in the press all seemed to closely follow the hand out sheets, which had amazing lines about the history of Turbine Group from its start as a single cat farm growing rats as food for the cats, photos of the finished Ermine being modelled in Paris, and a single photo of an aluminium sheet with a precision hole line. However, as usual there were FoIs lurking under the trees, and one had managed to get a photo of a Bushcaddy with the bulge indicating a Solar T62-T32 engine and the wings bending back at the tips in a banana shape from the force of the speed (4 times VNE). Turbo had been busy and didn't have enough time to do "that paper crap" as he put it so the FoI................

None of this relates to the question.

No, all in your imagination. You were going back in time.

How about a straight answer?

What about the 1940s; can you give us a run down on them?

Australians in the post covid era have also been waiting 12 months to 2 years for their cars and that has only recently started to clear. Chapter 11 can take four or five years to settle into a commercial reality. Now isn't a good time to be crowing about their misfortunes; many companies come back hard.

Whoever came up with that hasn't studied accident and crash technology. As I mentioned in my post above, Cirrus builds in collapsible items; it's those that are designed to be destroyed; if you look at the many photos they show the airframe mostly intact, not totally destroyed. Early crash studies quickly showed that the instant stop which slammed the person's brain into the skull was the big killer. In the car industry Toyota Land Cruisers with heavy bull bars were a good example of unnecessary deaths. Today's Land Cruisers with collapsible components including bull bars along with the same system in trucks saves a lot of lives. In cars, the collapsibility of the items ahead of the windscreen and deflection of the engine downwards also save a lot of lives. Airbags which are actually blown up by explosives deflate as the person's torso is thrown forward, all for the slower deceleration.

A key point in the video is that the Cirrus has not just a parachute, but 26G energy absorbing seats, and structure, energy absorbing materials in the floor, cowling, firewall and engine mounts and fixed gear. That makes a big difference to survivability.

.....count sheep. Not many people know that the correct way to count sheep is to count the feet. This ancient system was more accurate because you had to train each sheep to do a slow-step march in single file rather than the later short cut of trying to count a mob of 1000 unruly sheep with some always circling back and being counted twice. While Cappy was counting sheep and drifting off to sleep Doubtfire finished him off with an uppercut to the jaw. When Capp's burns and jaw had healed he painfully made his way out the airfield to check out his Bushcaddy. It was a sorry sight, but not as bad as the Jab he built from a kit; he always argued that he wasn't to know that one of the crates had finished up in Ceduna and he'd done the best he could. As he was walking around he noticed a new Bushcaddy in the circuit. As it was taxying in he noticed the signwriting "Turbine Aviation - gets you there fast!" and ..........
