  1. sometimes peoples should put Keentor, FH, Turbo in post ............ so you can tell which comment is addressed to who
  2. low more than slow ! be good to hear some data on wire strike - the span, weight and strength of power cables are more than a match for most aircraft
  3. thank you Bex - your patent certificate has been posted tomorrow
  4. avgas and mogas - credit card toilets clubhouse - coffee (and stronger liquids) - food - honesty box aircraft painter - L2 and lame
  5. an old one ...........................
  6. that air strip needs a control tower ............ and aircraft with shorter wing spans
  7. with all that money being dished out - i hope judge sent lady to a basic mechanics course
  8. The Qld premier / government are now making noises about Qld having a fire fighting 737 too ! Whether a good idea or not - we trust that appropriate benefit analysis ? will dictate what aircraft are purchased
  9. This site has a long road to run Ian - thanks to your enthusiasm . servitude, perseverance ......................... I doubt there will ever be an end if you allow to keep it all going I'd say a fair few of us read intently all that is posted - with limited knowledge on most of the subjects, for me, its just as best to let the informed decide and go with the majority vote
  10. what about the line trimmers and mowers that start up after lunch ............................ right at / during siesta time - oh for a house at antarctica (no neighbours)
  11. I've read an accident report somewhere that 'thistles' and other vegetation clogged a low wing aileron horn balance and caused the plane to roll and prang ............. found vegetation from a deviation from the runway ................. low wing ............. you'd have to try a lot harder in a high wing
  12. laminar wings and icing ........ just read about that other day - ATR so hope its seen as on subject
  13. it was his first landing solo ................ that;s what really matters
  14. that pilot john walton in the video said he wanted ........................ '50 cents an acre and a house by the beach' was that 18.28 mill or bill onetrack ?
  15. interesting to know how a big 737 (15000 litres water) competes with a AT802 (3000 litres water) - nice to know - the 737 certainly has more bling ! looks like a 737 is about $ 100 million and a AT 802 about $ 4 million
  16. I'll bet you $ 50 dollars this 737 (or any) does not scoop water - its a full stop landing for refill
  17. a tough lesson to all concerned - my sympathies since no one has suggested our conjectures are ..................... the PAL thingy is the remote activated lights on the runway ? wonder why the plane 1 that landed first ? could not reactivate lights for plane 2 - or could PAL be overwhelmed by requests Can you activate PAL when on the ground ?
  18. more on a infomercial ? at 13.54 Mr Joyce states 4 females and 3 gay men in diversity of decisions ................. wonder what the decision would be if it was 4 females and 3 men
  19. ........................... let them eat cake
  20. YEp - agree with that SD. I went for a fly with an instructor - high wing plane / tanks (who shall remain anonymous - not in queensland). Instructor was adamant that fuel pump (for whole flight and at least 5 landings) did not need to be turned on because mechanical fuel pump pressure was OK I did not agree ............ but of course instructors rule (PIC) prevailed
  21. skippyd try sunlight soap - you can buy a box of 4 cakes for about $ 4 ? (cheap, cheap) use a cloth and soap on liberally to soak - wait say a few minutes and then get stuck in with the elbow grease - works a treat the bloke that told me this said that if your having marital problems - give the spouse a soaping in sunlight soap - had no need to try this yet
  22. I have a photocopier and I can cut it back a bit less than $ 50 / A4 sheet (A3 a bit extra) ............................... if there is any work out there ?
  23. ppfffttttttt Queensland the smart state - a coal fired inter planetary rocket might win us back some credibility ...................
