    A tube cutter would yield a handy cutting wheel

    Ebay vendor very kindly posted excellent photos for any one who is a bit handy.

    But does it have an improvement in it's other features or is it still an extremely Lite version of Oz runways for apple?

    They just don't cope well earning 1-2% on investment capital. They are only in it for the capital gain. When the property market goes flat they get out into something profitable

    Australian beef feedlots owned by international companies have been selling product to overseas parent companies for little more than cost of production for more than thirty years. Profit is made in the parent country. There is nothing much new happening here.

    As I will too. They are very repairable. I had a lot to do with Tom Abel before Reg took over the distribution, He asked why I was using an expensive propeller. As though there was nothing more certain than I knock the blades off it. The plane I trained in has had both wing tips rebuilt now. If you paint the repair well, you wouldn't know unless you read the logbook.

    They are probably a part you are most likely to see again so you can order the right parts next time you do a wing tip.

    But since these by-products come from the burning of the fuel, doesn't the oil in an engine not doing any hours, not burning any fuel, not gather any by-product, so no acid.

    See in the corner of the four sheets. the front beige one looks like a square plonked on top. If put that one under the rear outer one it will look a lot better. Even if you don't change it over make sure and make the other wing the same.

    Driving into dust is just a tiny bit smarter than driving into smoke.

    A lot of dirt exported from China to Australia too. They call it fertiliser. I had a bag of "copper sulphate" had just enough copper to make it blue and still had the roots in the dirt.

    The hollow prop shaft on a Rotax has huge possibilities for air to ground attack. A constant speed prop would make it awkward though.

    But Queensland is nice this time of year, any time of year actually. Think I might move over the river myself. What about poking the scat tube up your trouser leg, did you like that one Ron? Nice to hear from you again, Cheers Steve.

    Click on Allan@Bendigo in the posts above in this thread and click "start conversation" and send him a private message. Or just don't worry, talk to Derek Liston (also above) and then go and build a Savannah.

    Not important for a single build. Old Clekoloc ones seem stronger in the spring than old wedge loc ones.

    What about a bit of scat tube extending the heater outlet over to pilot side, stick it up the leg of your pants or something. Your passenger won't need it.

    At about the same age I used to help my Daddy by turning the little knobs on his rifle scope, and listen to the clicks.

    Sounds like someone is not doing their job! Must be time for a holiday.

    Just don't get caught behind a caravan just as you head up the hill!

    The niche is going to be crowded.

    Foxbat trainer at Glen Innes rings a bell. Think it was a bent crankshaft but I wasn't involved with it.

    Lyndon, see all those clecoes.

    Those red tappet covers do stand out against the purple.

    Do a test cut on scrap. I found I got a cleaner finish cutting through from the underside when I did use the hole saw. My wing skins were the first lot pre cut for extended tanks so they are what they are, machine cut.

    Do you want to fly amongst pilots who arrogantly or ignorantly think they immortal? The news combined with their relatives will leave them with no illusion once they express their interest in learning to fly!
