Don't worry about Heffernan, he won't be an asset or otherwise after the next election.
-
Did I mention our association might have shot us in the other foot?
-
The one in front of the cruiser looks like he has been lying in the sun for two or three days since he took his last breath.
-
But takes the the discussion away from the point trying to recall what he may once have known. His interest is obvious, but poorly informed, reminiscing about his Victa flying days was hardly relevant to the point.

I know an old GA pilot who flew a Cessna under the Gwydir River bridge at Gravesend, NSW. He gave his licence up after that effort. I asked him did he give himself a fright? He said not but the thought of damaging a perfectly serviceable bridge gave him some grief.
-
But the croc is on the ground still, the squirrel is only just about to weigh the croc.

Got excited when I saw this, Thought you had flown under the bridge.

Age shall not weary them!

I sprayed etch prime on sheet lap underside, and rivet lines and laps on the topside. Then painted black on both lap surfaces and allow to dry. All frame contact and frame sheet contacts are treated with black too. I masked the sheets so it looks a bit neater but I am the only one who has to look at the inside. It did take longer though. Then build the frame and sheet it, then spray a coat aver the whole piece and the solvent in the top coat blends in the edges of the first coat but it gets primer under you rivet heads. I used White and Grey in a 50/50 mix because the finish coats are all white. Edit : I just reread what you typed and think you had it the first time sorry. Still think you could build the rudder, elevator stabilizer and fin, flaps and ailerons in the lounge room while you are waiting to finish the shed! It will help your wife improve her adaptability and coping strategies. To be fair I used my mother's lounge room not my wife's and she had just moved to town to retire. So I was really only making it so she wouldn't change her mind and want to come back.
-
Don't you have a lounge room? Notice etch primer under all the rivet heads too.

I live inland so I have etch primed the lap on all sheets and the outer face, then it got two coats of two pack "Kosciuszko White", Second coat applied while the first is just going off. All the lap joints in the frame and the sheets have ICP black mastic compound. It took about one and a half tins to do it.
-
I live twenty minutes drive from the distributor so there is no wait involved for the part, but I will have to wait until he is painting my wings, flaps and struts to get it painted because all the firewall area is already painted. Might change the game plan is all.

Two twenty litre Roundup drums full of water on a wing skin tensioning strap wrapped around the ring mount. I had just towed it by hand nearly a kilometre in 38 degree heat from Mum's lounge room to the hangar. I was really feeling my age by the time it arrived. I am tossing up if I should install the updated nose leg bracket before I put the engine in or just go with it, I did install a galvanised steel reinforcing plate on each side as I built it, but there won't be an easier time.
-
Put the baby to bed this arvo Engine next, all the wiring is ready to plug on. Need to clean the hangar out a bit before it will fit with the wings on, need another tractor shed, I have got used to having it spacious, now we will have to park economically.
-
The tube through the wing is cut at an angle. The angle can be adjusted to vary the pressure in the tank right down to negative pressure not letting the fuel feed out of the tank if you cut it the wrong way.

Not being able to recover from a spin would be prohibitive!
-
That meant to say Spin recover, considering the added inertia in the added lead.
-
Looks like our association shot us in the foot!

http://www.aviationadvertiser.com.au/detail.php?id=4293 it sure is taking it's toll on values.

A relation of yours Nev?

Welcome aboard. Talk to RAA about the possibility of transferring to RAA register before you go any further. You will have to clip the MTOW back to 600Kg, will that leave you enough useful load to do what you want to do?
-
Can one of our retired aero engineer types tell me if this is a good idea, or does it impact on demonstrated stall recovery of an aircraft type? I have seen it done to balance heavier turbo installation and have wondered if it was OK.

Would he be south of Toowoomba?
