Ya know something guys, when we all finally arrive at that big airport in the sky - you know, the one with no landing fees and the fuel is free - betcha Derek is at the front desk helping everyone check in - just like he did on these forums. regards PS - a miracle just happened - our mate is pain free and flying everywhere.

You got that right, Pud. The joy of flight and sharing it with a mate is so sweet. regards

Here's one of Decca, BigPete and the Wiggs. (Sue and John) (Temora 2010) regards

Derek, Although I only knew you for a short time it always felt like we were old friends. Our Temora adventure was so much fun, I'm so glad we shared it. I will remember it for ever. I have lost a dear friend. I will never forget you Derek - I love you. Farewell old mate. You have your wings now.

Hang in there, Stewy. :thumb_up: Circuits, circuits and more circuits. Being able to land and use the aeroplane again is a desirable skill. :big_grin: You've got an excellent instructor :thumb_up: and a great little aircraft - it takes as long as it takes. regards :big_grin::big_grin:

Trim sensitivity is adjustable. regards

It certainly did not. regards

Some reporters (and editors) should be boiled in oil. What a pathetic last line....(post #37) regards

Screw it! (B4 it screws you) regards

....and it's great to have you back, Ben. regards

Thanks guys - fantastic stuff. regards

G'day Jabiru lovers! :heart: I have seen quite a few of the newer Jabiru aircraft with an external power connector :thumb_up: exposed thru the cowl. What is it actually called, where can I buy one and how much should I pay regards :big_grin::big_grin:

BigZipperPete is undone for the moment - but he will return. After all, someone has to keep you lot on the straight and narrow. :heart: regards

Where do I send my five liters to? regards

"...a bloody sight better than lookin' like little Kevy Crud" said a voice from the past, for it was none other than......

Shove an aerial on a pole (the higher the better) and run some coax down to the scanner. regards

and his music teacher said "he's marching to the beat of a different drum..." :confused: and, BigPete said "Tomo's just like Chicken Man - "He's Everywhere, He's Everywhere"""" (Warning - you may have to be over 50 to know about Chicken Man) egads wait for me Planey.... :big_grin::big_grin:

Geez, Tomo, see what you've started........ regards

....correct circuit/aerodrome etiquette, (and proceedures) i_dunno especially when 200 aircraft are all trying to land at once using rafferty's rules (and all else). egads :big_grin::big_grin::big_grin:

By Gee, he looks suspicious :confused: and he's hiding behind Ian. regards :big_grin::big_grin:

Yep, that's my J160c. I keep it in a nice dry, shady hanger here at Ecbuca. Would be great to catch up with you whenever you manage to get here. regards

Welcome back to th fold, rj. Lots of new stuff to look at here. regards

Yes, guys, it was a day :thumb_up: great memories are made of. Had a terrific time with Derek meeting all the other NESers/forum users and even young Tomo (who wasn't allowed out without him Mum Robin) ((That's OK though Tomo, Ian still has to go out with his Dad, and he's a lot older than you )). A very big thankyou to Ian and his extended family for fostering such a brilliant "portal" for us enjoy and support each other both in our flying passion :heart: and our personal lives. A truly unique tool. :big_grin: I'll be cryin' in my beer next if I don't get off. Happy Easter to all forum members. Especially you, Derek. :thumb_up::thumb_up: regards :big_grin::big_grin::big_grin:
