Pilot Pete

I've heard about these zero displacement engines. They are used when you want to get "nowhere fast"

I've created a pack of monsters. One little name change and now Ian is up to his neck in pm's. But then again, I've all ways wanted to be a trendsetter..............

Dont worry about the stickers, just put in a "HOLY SH*T BAR " It also doubles up as a teatowel rack and a place to dry your undies.

On the other side.............. use the force Luke, use the force............

Yeh..... What Ian said

Hi all, just a heads up...........Have changed my user name from pete.bess to Nieuport Pete. Still married, just wanted something different with an aviation feel to it.

You could try using this program http://www.obviousidea.com/windows-software/light-image-resizer/ I find it does the job but remember to save the photo in a different folder as the original will be overwritten.

I truely think there is a market for a small plane that can seat two and be transported easily due to its folding fuselage and be stored at home in a small space (hangerage costs can be very high and restrictive) ande have a very unique look. Rag and tube construction seems to be one of the easiest and cheapest forms of aircraft building and therefore one of the easiest ways for a person to have themselves an aircraft,building wise. Since I am a rag and tube builder myself I maybe biased, but there you have it.

Any updates on your design HITC

You boys would get an A in woodwork class if I was the teacher. Its a pity such detailed work gets covered.

Maybe they are Scottys new undercarriage...............Flinstone style

Well stone the crows, your right. Maybe Scotty is building the wrong fuselage.

The only thing I can pick on at the moment is the use of those sawhorses for the undercarriage. Might be just a tad overkill.

Whats the brand and who sells them?

Congrats and best wishes on your new job

LH bottom wing now in place. I was setting up incidence, dihedral and sweep tonight and was trying to figure out how to set the sweep when the fuselage is bowed in the mounting area. :puzzled:Dopey me.............the top wing has a 5deg sweep and the spars mount up in line with each other. Just drop a weighted string line down from the top spar and line up the bottom one. All it took was an hour of head scratching. Now I'll spend half the night pulling splinters out of my fingers. I will endevour to post some pics tomorrow.

Ive invested in a new kit............just for a rainy day.

Been trying to put up a 6ft colourbond fence to keep a young fella in. Managed to auger a few holes the other day,went down about 4ft and the ground is soaking wet at that depth. Before all this rain I had cracks opening up in the yard big enough for the kids to get their feet into. Good to break a leg while playiing footy if not carefull. Had been thinking of making a small microlight but was afraid I would have fallen down a crack on take off. If I tried it now it would be like disapearing in quicksand.

Ive joined up. Now I just need to get the Nieuport finished.

Found this sight. All you Thruster drivers might be interested. http://www.oranafilms.com.au/on-a-wing-and-a-prayer/

Put me down for a copy.

Aagh................Too short,too short!!!!! A good laugh though. Thanks. Seriously.......a book would be great.

Yes....I saw this a few years ago and they still don't show much detail.Alright if your a military buff with its looks.Your design is very appealing in its short snub nosed way.
