This is just a Public Liability lawyer running their advertising programme the same as anyone else does. Of course if anyone lifts his head and contributes on the Merits of the case he might get a call to come along and help.

Simple; We have a unique Public Liability system; they operate under different conditions.

....asked to see it. Eventually, for a satisfactory price he pulled it out and the assembled group gasped; it was the genuine 1337 Spanish Goldoon, one of only two ever minted, and .........

CNG was compressed methane, dropped power by about 10%; that was enough for it to get the thumbs down from most fleets.

The cars and trucks that have gone into production are Hydrogen gas into ICE engines, using capsules to hold the gas. They are not fuel cell. However in terms of fuel cell vehicles, I was involved in the Bus Industry in 2005/6, evaluating future product so looking closely at the Perth PTA trial with Mercedes Benz fuel cell buses. To give Mercedes Benz credit due they spent a lot of money setting up the buses and at the end of the trial the passengers liked the lower floors and the quiet operation, but at that time the Prime Cost of the chassis was three times the cost of a diesel. I ruled it out on Prime Cost, without the in-service Fuel Cell vs Diesel Maintenance component, and happen to have 2004 figures here to show the impact, using costing done for another MTT company. Bus Chassis: Mercedes Benz 0405NH/0500 $198,934.00 Body: $225,500.00 Total: $424,434.00 Bus Chassis: Mercedes Benz Fuel Cell $596,802.00 Body: $225,500.00 Total: $822,306.00 Fuel Cell Premium $397,872.00 Premium x 600 normal Tender Lot $238,723,200.00 Even at State Government level purchasing it was clear that $238.7 million up front premium was going to be too big to swallow. About the same time Honda built a fuel cell Civic and sent them to the US where they were offered to customers on a 12 months lease. One of them came to Australia for evaluation, but it all died away. There are still companies trialling them and maybe one day they'll get the magic balance where you put water in the tank, the fuel cell breaks out the H from the 02, and the engine supplies the electricity needed to power the fuel cell.

Good, they won't have to worry then, they're just going about their business in the 21st Century. Production vehicles are on the road, so just a matter of watching the market share now.

The cells I saw fitted across the car under the boot; sealing was taken out of operator's control. When the module was locked in there was fuel flow to the car. Some smart thinking solved that problem. Next question would be range.

...connections. This was becoming a concern in the suburbs around Perth where big groups of youths, all with orange hair and orange make up congretated at the local RA fields that had recently been dozed. They were crazy about flying the new Trikes especially the new Airborne Aviation T-Lites with the 27 hp Polini Thor 190. They were so light, you could carry them home on the back of your Harley, and this new group when they got together after the flying looked like someone had droppe an orange powder bomb...................

Have a look around. The hydrogen infrastructure is being rolled out around Australia, several models of cars and trucks. I haven't done any work on it lately but I think they've settled on removable fuel modules, about for or five on a car which you pull out, drop in the return slots and take new ones insert them and you're off in about the same time as a fuel fill.

drew the attention of the famous Psychologist Sanguin Freud who single-handed and without computers foundthe whole of WA only had six great, great, great, grandfathers and eight great, great,great grandmothers, so it's no surprise to find the old saying "We had to make-do in our time" comes from Western Australia. The problem was how to deal with it.

......design of the road and whether bitumen might be more durable than silk. Fifteen people who'd overheard this rushed out our and replaced the silk on their Trike wings with bitumThree days later.......

The Radio Controlled aircraft are legal. The Hummelbird with 9.6 lbs/ft2 (47 kg/M2) or 8.6 lbs/ft2 (42 kg/M2) vs the RAA limit of 30 kg/M2 is not legal.

Some have twin cylinder motors. Most are modeled on aerobatic aircraft like Extras, and they're great to watch because they fly like a normal aircraft and when they are doing aerobatics it's a lot more realistic There's a field with a 1,000 foot licence in the D314 (Danger) zone in the Carrum entrance point to Moorabbin Airporr from the Moorabbin training area, so if you're coming in from the east, best not to stray too far north for the entry. They get the performance from not carrying a human whereas the RAA aircraft are 300 kg MTOW (335 with floats, 320 with BRS) and wing loading 30 kg/M2.

......he's offering rock bottom prices. His big mistake was to build his outlet right next to the airstrip of Len Da Vinci and Rocco da bull. Len had built a flying machine [avref] and they both wanted a place where the could get away from SpaghettiRus>!, and the stink from the cat oil cooking the won tons next door was driving them nuts. They walked across and made Alexander and offer he couldn't refuse...............................

.....solve one complaint in the Paris Market where Le Turbo Furs had received some complaints. He'd had to cut the balls off the males though which added $5.00 per cat cost for the skin. If you wonder why that was so much, and you've marked 1,000 lambs in a morning, spare a thought for the poor cat farmers who have to deal with every Tom. Le Turbo backed it up with advertising and sales went through the roof.........

.......pay off. His genius marketing strategy of aiming for thefemale segment that "just wanted to be left alone" or who "hated all men" was producing sales by the tonne so he had to call in Turbine Science Inc. to find a way to breed skunks with bigger odour glands. This was so successful that .......

So they established that he had 5 kmn clear veiw ahead of him? I didn't see that in the report.

What won't happen?

No, there's not, so as a member of a limited volume group, what would you be expecting?

Not many people know about the Cat House in Moorabbin, but Turbo had it built in the Branson Missouri style cosy theatre style. When it was finished, he couldn't get any performers at his Trump type rates, so he had to do something himself and the onlt thing he had learned in school was the Gettysburg Address, so he hired 40 drummers using cut lengths of dowling from Bunnings and old Paint thinners tins as drums and hired 40 itinerant refugees from Tasmania, and bought the organ from the Neerim South Uniting Church and some eery lighting. Turbo dressed up like Abe Lincoln and to a sellout crowd (takings $43,000.00) he began to speak. Unfortunately he started with "Three Score years and Ten" which is the burial service for over 70s, but the rest went well, and as the clients filed out many were asked whether "this was intermission?" Of course at Gettysburgh Abe was the last to speak. Most of the luminaries went for a couple of hours, one for several hours, but when Abe came to the lectern his speech only lasted 2 minutes and he blew them all away.

Most sports have the same problem, it's always someone else's job to write the stories. Same problem with finding people to attend shows, get things done etc. They always have an excuse, "I have a wedding on that day" is the favourite. I was asking one guy and he didn't think before he answered "I'm gonna be sick that day".

Let's not fantasise; what I put up were the basics; we don't need to know a team of medical specialists to brush our teeth. Motor Sport had nothing to do with what I was saying. An Understanding of Aviation is not necessary to understand that AUF started before CASA did and CASA welcomed self administering Associations, and when all this came together. AUF was up and running for years before CASA was a gleam in someone's eye.

They do. There was a long and bitter fight over it and the old geysers won because they said they couldn't read off screens.

I noticed no one was really aware of ANYTHING about that era so I've just put up the dates, so you'll be able to fill us in on all these "many other names", and where someone might be trying to "black flag" a plane, and why.

CASA was founded on July 6, 1995. The Australian Ultralight Federation (AUF) with the aircraft this thread is talking about was established in 1983. At the time the State, Territory and Federal Governments were closing down sporting and workplace administration because of exponential cost explosion as a result of lawsuits for negligence. Victoria's Department of Labour and Industry which admininstered some high risk sports like motor racing was shut down. Governments started providing some limited protection for groups who registered Incorporated associations and complied with a Model Constitution and Public Liability Insurers came up with packages that were affordable and the new Associations took off.
