Anyone hired a plane in Singapore?
Birdseye replied to CharlieMikeKilo's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
The lack of airspace is evidenced by the fact they send their air force pilots to WA to be trained. You could probably fit a dozen or more Singapores into just one of their training areas. -
In that case water turbines are even more beautiful; you can't see them.

DC3/C47. The Sperry autopilot panel in the middle.

That pretty much sums it up. Pilots have a lot less to worry about them than do local residents, that's according to all the other articles about adverse effects.

Returning to wind and aircraft, I've found one article of interest. Most articles focus on the effects of turbulence on the wind turbine, this article is about aircraft and the effects. Turbulence caused by wind turbines

Just a shame that they are such an eyesore.

As they are designed to absorb energy from the wind to create electricckery and not create thrust, I don't see it being an issue.

Its a small place, so you can see most of it from the top of the hill or in the cable car. Snag is the viz, which is usually lousy and a fair few clouds around. Might be worth saving your cash for somewhere more photogenic. -

You could try this one at Seletar: Seletar Flying Club I know nothing about them, but it might be worth dropping them a question or two through their 'Contact Us'. Hopefully their maintenance is better than their spell checking. Reciporcal Membership Seletar Flying Club is open to reciporcal membership with flying clubs located outside Singapore for the benefit of our club members. For discussions, kindly contact us using our contact page. -

I've found that often the best option is a TIF with a flying club, particularly in an area with busy airspace. Cheaper than a commercial sight-seeing trip and a much less complicated way to get some hands-on flying. -
The experts are finding it hard to pick and reckon that it will only be in the last couple of orbits that they can predict where it may come down. At the moment its losing about 2km per orbit, which if linear would mean another 15 or so orbits or 20 hours or more. Of course it won't be linear and the variables are just that.

I shudder at the excesses of the Spanish Inquisition.......I'd love to say what I feel about the Church of Rome. -
Uber Hires NASA Flying-Car Expert
Birdseye replied to mnewbery's topic in US/Canada General Discussion
Uber perpetuates this sham that it is a 'ride-sharing' service. It is not, nor has it ever been, such a thing. I find it astonishing that various governments haven't done more to stop it. -
I've never bought one myself, its always been an included item. Perhaps once you have the battery try Jaycar (or maybe Batteryworld) to ensure you have the right connector etc. mentioning Batteryworld, they do sell all sorts of proprietary style items, I bought a battery for my Dyson vacuum from them, but its probably a long shot that they do anything for Icom. Incidentally the repacking option suggested by others is certainly a viable one, just copy the existing connections meticulously.

Answer unfortunately is maybe, depends on what your current charger is. This reference explains it quite well: NiMH Battery Charger FAQ
