    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.

    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.

    They may just specialise in ripping off Drifter pilots!

    That's the one I was after!

    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.

    I thought it was a pool toy!

    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?

    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.

    But what if there were people he didn't want to hire to, surely he would want the right to refuse and choose.

    Maybe 23-xxxx is registered with the alternate registration authority....well one can still dream!

    OK maybe my two years was overly optimistic. Wrong again, that is twice this month!

    Has tripling the cost of display booths to exhibitor increased the amount of displays that you are paying to see. They are killing the goose that layed the golden egg last year. I give it two years to folding!

    So technically it has never been completed! Buy a couple of bolts and you will have a newly completed aircraft. Happy days!

    Most of us are one side or the other, I have trouble being both.

    My Savannah S model rebuild Blog this one didn't look very pretty on the trailer on it's way to it's new home, BUT now starting to breathe again. Take a look at this thread Marco and welcome to the forum. You could message Mark about his experience.

    I dropped both stages of flap climbing out on about my second solo flight. It stopped going up and started coming down, I pulled one stage back on and away I went. That was the closest it came to biting during my training. There was a cross wind landing that bumped the main spring sideways too, coming in on a engine failure drill that wasn't very pretty either but it didn't bite me then either, such is the nature of the beast.

    That will cause rust on the rivet stem which may end up discolouring your paint.

    What about dipping the rivets to coat under their heads too?

    It looks better than chromate primer but it may not be as durable without a top coat.

    Not the same I am afraid! Reg bought some look alike ones to supply with kits, including mine. They were completely useless. The real ones were "Rubbermaid" brand (Blue colour) in America and something like "Surecoat" out here (Red Colour). The knock off ones from ebay were so bad I never filled mine. I binned it in a clean up only months ago.

    Telstra complaints is in Adelaide and most of the call centre staff speak English fluently. They are the last people you talk to in Telstra before you get all the money they have taken under false pretences refunded. Once that credit was all chewed up by monthly line rental I cut off the service and haven't had a direct marketing call ever since. Happy days.

    Even more fun is get the call centre to give you the contact details for the ombudsman. You won't get it from the front line staff, but ask to talk to a supervisor and you will either get put on hold and cut off or if you spend an hour they will finally give you the contacts.
