This is true, although no one has mentioned reconditioning motors...

In any case, it's not good to breath so having it reduced is a good thing, no?

Damn straight. If there's an emergency, I'm aviating the hell out of that plane. Communicate is third on the list. Still not sure how it relates to this news story though. Was there a mention of a distress call?

I agree with you. But what's this about a mayday call? I didn't see that in the article.

Only just today I noticed a Drifter with one.

ill be there tomorrow.

IT's a shame about the mag. I mean, I appreciate that there is one at all. But it used to be a much more fun mag before the previous editor died. It had a lot more features on aircraft many of us might conceivably fly one day. Perhaps ONE person in the whole of Australia is ever going to fly the Icon (the reviewer), even if it stayed in business. Maybe one or two pages would be enough to tell us prols about it, rather than 8. It might have fitted better in 'Posh Planes Monthly' or something. Still, the cover story was more in keeping with what might interest more of us (Ercoupe). Although I have a feeling they've written about it before. And a story about Lawrence Hargreaves was welcome. If any of the magazine editors are reading this- More cheap and cheerful stuff please! I wanna read about Austers and C150s and Zenith 701s and Drifters, as well as the fancier stuff. How about the history of Quicksilver, pretty much the biggest name (I think they have produced over 15,000 aircraft) in 'real' ultralights?

Biogeny recapitulates phylogeny (Or is it the other way 'round?)

Fully understand all that. If I read 'The Economist' for instance there is no doubt. What I'm saying is it looks suspiciously LIKE paid advertising. Especially the estate story. It reads like it was lifted straight out of their sales brochure. I feel there are some grey areas being exploited.

Sure, but normally (and I assumed legally) it will say 'paid advertisement ' at the top or bottom of the page

There is also an article about a flying estate. You know, where you have your house backed onto an airfield.both those articles smelt of paid advertising, but normally a reputable magazine would say that. Sure enough, the website for the estate is down. I wonder if the magazine mostly gets paid advertising from people about to go broke 🤔

Agreed. While I'm coming on board with the ZD engines viability, I am very happy with my nearly time expired flying school engine. Always the same workshop, at the same airfield. And I already have maybe 20 hours experience with this engine from when it was in the plane I hired. Price difference is huge, and I am confident I have a reliable engine.

Christ almighty, Android+ 15 minute edit window = post completely opposite of what I meant 😄 Should say: Yes, because then i can tell my mates 'let me tell you about this guy...'

Yes, because then u can tell my mates 'let me tell you about this guy...'

I can't tell if you're being serious or not...

Goddam, this is gonna get the chemtrail nutters going. Beautiful, no? https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap240423.html?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR301oZbYkQulRE2i8FUHQ8yws6P72CyeCmVrfSHdMaVqJQPjnd9hQdD_NQ_aem_AfPYSAOmLxNASaD8o_3C6o08cfZU6ES9r_M_R6FJ1MvRkHfIY9wGyZk3TstFBU1LgKO1Kds8T6YbXi6bZ6JbP7bj

Faux pas

I've only seen one of those once, in the Savage Cub I did my tail wheel endorsement in.

Why is it back to front? I can see both in front of me. As well, for the right hand seat, I figure it's more important to have ASI closer to them than ALT. Most importantly though, The chemtrails switch is easily accessible for pilot or co pilot 🙂

Yep. Been saving a LOT of money 😄 But my plane is nearly ready for test flying, so I do need to find a way to get back in shape so to speak. The flying school I was hiring from are on a bit of a hiatus.

What's the capital of Bulgaria?

I've actually stopped flying for a while because of this problem. I wasn't flying regularly. Each time I actually felt I was becoming every so slightly less proficient. Really need to fly at least once a fortnight, just to maintain what you have have I reckon. I was often flying less often than that.

Pmccarthy, next time you talk to someone like that, ask why 'they' would go to all that trouble when all 'they' have to do is go to a dam at night and kick a couple of drums of their mind control chemicals in. Ive posted my panel here before but it's so in context with the thread imma post it again 😁
