Then a farmer down the road needs a new Rooster to watch after his hens because his current one is getting pretty old, so the chicken farmer loans Kenny to the farmer down the road So Kenny struts around the yard, meets all the young hens, and runs into the old rooster. Kenny says "Get outta here old man, I'm the new man round here, so go retire!" The old rooster says "I'll let you have all the hens if you can beat me in a race around the barn. Now I'm old, I got a bad ticker and I scare easily, so you gotta gimme a head start. Kenny agrees, and after he gives the old rooster a head start decided he can take care of the old rooster by scaring him as they race, so he chases after the old rooster squaking and flapping his wings. The farmer sees this from the porch, gets out his shotgun and blows Kenny away, yelling "GAWDAMMIT! That's the third gay rooster I got this damn week!"

I have one for sale, $12000.00, comes complete with trike, trailer and everything you need to fly Regards Bill

Don't you mean "Satans Residence, if I had been astride the Gallus gallus domesticus I would certainly have had enough time between when impact became inevitable and actual impact to dismount, rapidly stride ahead and draw some freehand circles on the wall in a disorganized representation of a target, then hasten back to Gallus Gallus domesticus remount and prepare for the above mentioned inevitable impact!

3.1 km according to good ole google

Bloody Australia Post, must have lost my invitation to this one (don't laugh I'm sure it's happened before) Damn them! http://www.airchallenge.com/video/best-o-2013

Thx Andy, My normal call for the above would be traffic xxx microlight xxxx overflying @ 500' joining mid downwind for full stop runway xx traffic xxx. Yeah I never thought of midfield crosswind, I guess because I've never heard it.

Andy, A concern of mine for an aircraft joining a 500' circuit on the crosswind leg, is the chance of conflict with a fast climbing aircraft taking off. My preference is to descend out side the circuit area and either overfly midfield at 500' joining mid downwind or if I don't believe a look at the conditions is necessary join long downwind at 500. What say you? Regards Bill

Yep, ya put 'em in the cows ears then ya can sneak up an get a rope on 'em real easy

I love the visibility of those kind of designs. You would never keep a Jab cool enough as a pusher. Regards Bill

Seems a strange thing for one so intelligent to say. I bet some of those 1000 Jab owners don't even turn their computer on let alone visit a forum of any sort:pc revenge:

The ATO decides to audit Grandpa, and summons him to their office. The auditor was not surprised when Grandpa showed up with his lawyer. The auditor said, 'Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I'm not sure the ATO finds that believable.' I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it,' says Grandpa. 'How about a demonstration?' The auditor thinks for a moment and said, 'Okay. Go ahead.' Grandpa says, 'I'll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.' The auditor thinks a moment and says, 'It's a bet.' Grandpa removes his glass eye and bites it. The auditor's jaw drops. Grandpa says, 'Now, I'll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye.' Now the auditor can tell Grandpa isn't blind, so he takes the bet Grandpa removes his dentures and bites his good eye... The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with Grandpa's lawyer as a witness. He starts to get nervous. 'Want to go double or nothing?' Grandpa asks 'I'll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between.' The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there's no way this old guy could possibly manage that stunt, so he agrees again. Grandpa stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily, he can't make the stream reach the waste basket on the other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the auditor's desk. The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win. But Grandpa's own lawyer moans and puts his head in his hands. 'Are you okay?' the auditor asks. 'Not really,' says the lawyer. 'This morning, when Grandpa told me he'd been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars that he could come in here and piss all over your desk and that you'd be happy about it!' Don't Mess with Old People

Suzuki RV 125, Honda XL 250, XR 200, XL 250 Degree, went off Honda then because they made the exhaust pipe part of the frame which would have been O.K had they made it stainless, but it burnt out in less than 18 months, since then I'm on my third Kawasaki Stockman

Farri, it's the one Justin Hawkins converted. Read about it here: http://www.recreationalflying.com/threads/converting-sb582-to-912uls.49166/

Some of those big bush tyres and paint the white bits matt black on the skyfox and you'll really be cultivating an image

I have to disagree there Maj, on the grounds that I would rather have the engine stop than the wings fall off any day

The beach angled to the left, torque pulling to the left, nil wind and a lower hill behind him..... I think I may have gone the other way. Well that's my armchair opinion from 2000 Klms away anyway

I saw this on another forum. To put it in context he is talking about how much closer to a tail wind it has to be before it becomes an advantage for a slower aircraft compared to a faster one Firstly is he correct. Secondly am i the only one who didn't know this? Assuming a random 30 knt wind aloft, then for a aircraft cruising at 60 knt TAS you will face a headwind 60% of your flying life - in other words: not until the wind is 15 degrees past perpendicular in your favor, will you see an increase in GS. For a 100knt TAS aircraft, you will only battle headwinds 55% of your flying life and needing only 10 degrees past the 90 mark before you can call it is break even on the GS. Actually a little less difference than I thought, but this is an extra "tax" imposed on the slower aircraft aside from more obvious enroute figures. Regards Bill

Bloody hell Phil, is that supposed to be funny? Don't you know there are bald headed sons of old people fleeing hairdresser shops as we speak, we should be giving them taxpayer funded wigs not persecuting them!

While I see what you are saying Bigggles, I see the problem being refuelling in the hangar, not the carpet on the floor. Surely it is better to get out of the hangar and put some distance between the assets therein and any potential fire also any spillage is better off outside than in. Everybody has their unique circumstances, and in my situation the fuel is not stored in the hangar either. On the other hand the carpet is nice on the knees when down there worshipping those itty bitty tyres. Regards Bill

Re the hangar floor, I have compacted gravel ( high clay content is better because it is not going to get wet) then a layer of plastic, then second hand carpet. I am very happy with mine. Re the airstrip, don't know your situation but if you are happy with one way, you can have a bit of gradient in it and get away with a bit shorter length, downhill aids your takeoff and uphill slows your roll out. Mine gets steeper the further you go along. Regards Bill

Hi Samuel, Justin gave as a blow by blow description of the 912 conversion when he was doing it. You can find it here: http://www.recreationalflying.com/threads/converting-sb582-to-912uls.49166/ Regards Bill

Tif or joy flight ? Who cares. Surely if the motivation is a joy flight, the recipient is as safe or safer if they go up with an instructor instead of the average recreational pilot. Having read the blurb on the website I think it's going to be tough to prove wrongdoing, assuming anybody wants to...... Just my worthless opinion.
