  1. I know that feeling, a 72 inch wingspan spitfire ending in a 7.2 inch pile of burning crap. First and last time I will ever convert to electric
  2. Pros Rotax powered not composite Higer resale Dam good Looking(especially the Sierra) Build Quality Great Handling Oh did I say Rotax powered more conventional interior layout Cons Price So as ultalights said we were out flying, we wern't surfing the net looking at forum groups after answers why our plane won't start,stop,stay on the centreline;) Yes parts delays could be an issue but the 100's of hours between these issues are real flying time not fault finding:laugh:
  3. This was shot on the Riverboat Discovery Tour (http://www.riverboatdiscovery.com/). This features the some of the issues that the Alaskan Bush Pilot faces while landing and taking off on short, natural "runways".Sorry for the stability of the video, but it was shot while on a river boat. --- Watch Now!
  4. http://www.airborne.com.au/images/manuals/XT912IPC1_2.PDF you might be able to find it here
  5. We were all in awe of Tubblets new powertrain in his signature, it's a shame about the 500rpm thing and why doesn't he govern it to 4900rpm. Why cause at that level of power his is getting outrun by ditdot in his trusty drifter. And the race is on Tublet is in the lead sreaming through the Jetski area spraying a ten foot wake up at the greeks and just when he thought he had won he seess the geeks infamous hand language pointing up and mmmwwwwwwwwwwping ping rattle rattle:loopy: ditdot comes flying through inverted at nearly mach 1 in the trusty drifter. After he was gone all that could be seen was the trail of 2 stroke smoke:radioactive: just like the smoke in Red Bull. Dam said Tubblet, I might repower the Signature with a pair of Blueheads, then I will always have two engines and even at 6000rpm....;)
  6. :laugh:if you problem persists please take it back to your dealer and we will lend you a 727 while we send it away for repairs.
  7. :laugh:that makes more sense than the real one:thumb_up:
  8. [quote=turboplanner;108729built aircraft with aluminium as they did in the last Century when paper and dope became short. Little did they know that in the wake of the airbus which dragged its tail like a constipated dog, there was about to be a RIVET RECALL, which would rock the world of aviation...... But unfortunately you cannot have a recall for dumbass decisions as the plastic fantastic airbus which had got over it's constipation decintegrated in a storm, the only thing left was the aluminium seats. But to not bag the Jabs as I have been scalled for before there might be a market for the Jab motors they can be used in turbo's mates dozer, what a perfect application for an engine that self destructs at 5000rpm;)
  9. That Carbon Cub would have to be one of the best looking planes around IMHO.
  10. I noticed this clip and thought this was the best thread to enter it in. It looks like fun but is this hard on the aircraft and could that strut break? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jqdFC9ck5k"
  11. People throw the hero tag around alot lately wheel-up landings etc but that MAN is a true Hero. That footage actually made me shiver. Well Done:thumb_up:
  12. Absolute classic:thumb_up::thumb_up::thumb_up:
  13. :thumb_up:204,427 with one mishap, the last two levels are awesome:thumb_up::thumb_up::thumb_up:
  14. I don't necessary agree with it I just thought it was an interesting read. I suprises me that Jabiru didn't get this squashed as it makes alot of severe accusations without proof
  15. Interesting Read JabiruCrash.com - the story of my flight (and plane crash) in a Jabiru aircraft with Ron Bertram (deceased) - jabiru engine failure, Jabiru piston failure, ultralight Engine failure on Climbout is mentioned to much for my likingthumb_down
  16. :thumb_up:I thought this was good, can't take credit for it though my wife gets to many emails at work
