  1. But they had Eugenics back then to tidy up the bottom end of the population.
  2. Tom, Those bolts you referred to might also be called dowels.
  3. The cowling is probably just fine but your prop extension may be too long.
  4. Except the one that won Ron Hoey the trophy at Natfly for spinner/prop fit.
  5. I have had no issue loading FSX on my windows 10 desktop computer. It is an off the shelf Acer gaming computer (i7 processor,1060 graphics) having gone to the trouble of building a crossfire double graphics card system, for no benefit, it should be noted that CPU is where FSX does most of it's fancy stuff.
  6. I had this problem but found that it only strikes the frame when moved beyond it's intended operation throw so the problem went away once the control surfaces were connected.
  7. So you haven't watched the news much for the last 5 or 10 years then. This wouldn't be even a slightly isolated example.
  8. Angus Beef paid $10,000 for about three mentions on Burke's Backyard in prime time about twenty years ago. Does that give you any clues about how they could do it too. The content doesn't matter as long as the money is flowing. Remember John Laws, oh that's right he is still on, just no body listens to him any more!
  9. I don't live far from Gurley and I hired a car trailer and picked my kit up in Brisbane. No huge cost involved. A bigger pain and cost will be getting an L4 out to inspect the finished product before it can be registered.
  10. And stored in original packaging. A bit hard to organise after installation!
  11. Sux to be the bloke climbing up the hill in that last shot! He thought he was nearly to the top too.
  12. And also at slaughter works, avoiding the splash just doesn't happen there!
  13. It is a nasty disease but no worse than leptospirosis, glandular fever or Ross river fever, but they all take a compounding toll on your liver. The eldest didn't need get vaccinated as I suggested before. she was the one who caught it when she was about 6 years old, had a huge temperature for about 3 days and slept a lot. when she later got tested pre-vaccination they told us she wouldn't get the vaccine because of her previous exposure.
  14. Two of my girls have never been vaccinated and they have come and gone for over 20 years without incident. We only vaccinated the eldest, left the spares to their destiny.
  15. You get Q fever hanging around the wrong end of cows! Be careful of the splash. You can get vaccinated if you make a habit of it. They test before they vaccinate you to make sure you haven't already been exposed so that test should have been able to confirm your diagnosis. Leonie and I have been vaccinated for about 20 years but our eldest daughter Tiffany couldn't be vaccinated because she had already been exposed.
  16. My parents both got cards cancelled because of suspect transactions in Sydney before the cards had arrived in their regional mail. Both used in different joining western Sydney suburbs. The card details must have been compromised at the card issuing centre and duplicate cards made.
  17. They may just specialise in ripping off Drifter pilots!
  18. sewing machine?? Gee we miss Dazza! Only seen him blow by once this year.
  19. Your rivet painting is something I have been keen to try so I can install my Zenith 4 stage flap kit. I will be interested to see how you go pulling those rivets without the paint chipping off as the rivet head deforms.
  20. I have imagined what would happened after the control line wrapped around your ears and the the line got shorter with each circuit. The motor would gradually get louder, right?
  21. And round about it goes! And we all get to finance the enforcer. The nanny state prospers because people don't be careful what they wish for.
  22. But what if there were people he didn't want to hire to, surely he would want the right to refuse and choose.
  23. Maybe 23-xxxx is registered with the alternate registration authority....well one can still dream!
