"Stand Clear" shouted Dr.Pete as he applied 200,000 volts to the hairy chest of the NES. "Lets see if we can get this story started......" :black_eye: Meanwhile the rest of the band wondered where MusoPete had got to, :ah_oh: its a busy time here in Echuca during our Jazz/Swing festival. Somewhere in the distance a large rodent :heart: is peering thru the windscreen wondering if he has enough rat juice to get him to..... regards :big_grin::big_grin:

...and so it passed. Every rag and tube 'craft from Timbuctoo to beyound the black stump was recovered in the wonderfull shiny cladding. :thumb_up: (Fitted with NYLON clamps). With so many reflective planes in the sky UFO reports went thru the roof and the RAAF was busier than a one armed copper directing traffic. But the biggest problem was suffered by the radar operators in all the control towers throughout the land. :yuk: Like a swarm of bees the rag and tuba's bought RPT traffic to a halt. :raise_eyebrow: Geez, and me said little Kevy. Looks like I'll get the blame to this too, unless......

.....things go badly pear shaped, the survivors could ride home on some of the millions of wild camels that live in the area. "Wow" thought little Kevy to himself, "millions of camels, :heart: we could give them the Simpson desert, :thumb_up: declare them as refugees and give them the right to vote :yuk: (for me, of course). I mean, if things get much tougher I can't rely on the millions of DONKEYS that voted me in last time. :hittinghead: With his fail safe plan well in hand (as well as other things :ah_oh: (well in hand))Kruddy reached for the 'phone. I'll just call my spin doctor :star: to make a few plans....... regards

Jabiru Engine 2200 Mechanical Problem Reporting
BigPete replied to rick-p's topic in Engines and Props
Make sure you tension all SIX studs - one is hidden under a plug, and if my memory serves me right this is quite often the only stud that will require more tension. Always done every 50 hours after initial run in. -
.."What all 10 of them asked the minister of Defence" :ah_oh:... because dear boys and girls that's all that's left thanks to Revin' Kruds :black_eye: spending money like it's just sand in the desert. AND only four of them are ready to go as CRASA :confused: have not renewed the other pilots ASPIC cards. :devil: But, fear not noble NES readers for a cunning plan is about to be released by..... regards :big_grin::big_grin:

Ain't nuthin more true :thumb_up: than a sleek Jabiru. regards :big_grin::big_grin:

That's great Helmut - how about reporting in as you burn off those 25hrs. Cheers

That's 100% grade AAAA advice right there :thumb_up: (and it was FREE). regards

...planned properly for the HUGE fryin at Temora. :thumb_up: "How will we know each other" wondered PartyPete as he made trip preparations with his Co Pilot (who's identity will remain a secret until they arrive (forum member)). When will Ian have his buns hot and sticky Do we bring our own jam Will we have to endure a hair removal demo by the lovely Corrine (has Ian's hair grown back yet or will BushySlarti have to step in) I hear Tomo's torso is a smooth as a babies bum, sorry I mean butt, so he's out (although we could use him for the AFTER photos). So Captain :heart: Rat, what time (each day) at Ians tent for the get together regards

"With the NES all filled up with prose, :heart: It should smell as sweet as a rose, :thumb_up: But it's too full of S:censored::censored:t, sarcasm and wit, :yuk: It can only be cleaned with a hose." That'll hold 'em for a while, thought PoetPete with a smile, for not only can I w(right) it, The others can't fight it, PoetPete, Poet Lauriete, the King. (with apologies to Elvis) Censure Motion. If you guys keep using the emoticons at this rate, there won't be any left for me. regards (ps - yes I know - I can't spell lauriet - get over it)

THE LATEST AVIATION NEWS........ It's reported that Cesspool Aviation :yuk: have had to delay the production of their new FlyScratcher aircraft due to a few problems discovered whilst testing the pre-production test aircraft. :broken_heart: Under current LSA i_dunno (Low, Slow and Awful (to look at)) rules the max weight is only 600 kg which means the new owner has very limited choices on flight configuration. Full tanks and reasonable luggage limits is OK :thumb_up: if the the pilot weighs in at 27.6 Kilos. (looks like Tomo will be the first (and maybe only FlyPaper flier!).:big_grin: Pilot weight of 85-95kg :big_grin: is fine but no luggage, no fuel, no go. (a real bummer) (sorry, I mean butt-er). Half fuel, half baggage, half pilot, and you're a half wit, if you think that will get you very far - and don't forget fuel points are disappearing faster than Tomo's pimples treated with clearadill. You just won't have the range. :yuk: Butt fear knot the Kapitain :heart: has a cunning plan....... regards :big_grin::big_grin:

The very thought of seeing Tub :ah_oh: flashing :yuk: brings me no joy and is doin' my head in. (mmmmm nice red) :heart: regards i_dunnoi_dunno

What I love about the NES is the utter confusion that can exist (like right now!!!)

Awwww . I've been gazumped (again). regards

....stick it up the young'ns and reclaim lost ground for the more mature and sophisticated flyer. :thumb_up: After all the "silent majority" somewhat over 50's i_dunno will rule the airwaves onced again or my names not TheSecondComingPete. :big_grin: (apoligees to all the god fearing people who might be offended by this scenario) Hi Kapitan :heart: - how's things in your Aunts garden regards :big_grin::big_grin:

No, replied RegalPete, :big_grin: but I was close to the "King" :heart: at one stage, many posts ago...... regards :big_grin::big_grin::big_grin:

...and I thought she was comin' down in a short skirt.....:heart: regards :big_grin::big_grin:

Guess I'll have 3. :thumb_up: "Come Fly With Me" :big_grin: and BigPete as username. regards :big_grin::big_grin:

After an early before work posting on the NES GoodProviderPete :big_grin: rockets away to another day of mundane hard yakka :yuk: to support his flying habit. :heart: On his return after many hours of sweat and toil he is amazed :ah_oh:at the multitude of posts in the NES made before the start of a normal working day. "No wonder the country's going broke" HardDoneByPete wailed to no one in particular, "We must be the only workers in the country". (Except for Tomo, who was probably on his way to primary school (the lad is so young)). i_dunno Now I wonder what has happened to JabbyJuicerGeoff and his late night excursions....... regards Mean while

What the ???? On seeing his old mate Decca :heart: posting on the NES, SneakyPete couldn't not resist the temptation to fire off a quick comment and hustle away. On reviewing his post GobSmackedPete :confused: discovers that Deccas post :heart: (and maybe others have disapeared. "I'll get to the bottom of this" :ah_oh: said SherlockPete ;) as he reached for his pen (no, not the one in his Aunts Garden) the one that is mightier than sword. :big_grin: Now just who do I write to? he mused. Thomo:laugh: has a lot to say but can he read yet? I mean his so young and spends too much time in his cockpit and in the chat room - basic skills could be ungained. :yuk: Maybe SlartiImYourMan will have a few ideas......:thumb_up: regards :big_grin::big_grin:

"Yo Ricko" sounds like a bum rap to me mused QuickPete :big_grin: as he ducked in and straight back out of the NES......... egads :big_grin::big_grin:

The sound of broken main rotor helecopter. wok..:yuk:..wok..:yuk:..wok..:yuk: (on its way down... as against (a healthy 'coptor) woka woka woka woka :big_grin: egads :big_grin::big_grin:

Yes Terry, some sort of selector (spring loaded) to only supply pressure to one wheel would do it. regards
