    There's Plenty of servos in VIC that don't have LPG anymore. Vic used to have the Most extensive coverage of any state. Nev

    Normally by today I would have had a lot of "Interesting planes fly over HERE on their way. Not ONE so far. Something's different. Nev

    In the 70's I got a free (industry) pass for the times I went there. I recall on one occasion Lots of Jabiru's flew in and one time about 4 of them bent their nosewheels as they were "asked" to do a landing involving a downwind component, Not realising they could/ should have requested a landing into wind. A bit over awed with the situation? Nev

    Why not? Roads get washed out. Remote places, by Rail to nearest Point. Nev t

    There may also Be Nitrous Oxides produced with WATER. Also depends on the energy the grid is fed by. Nev

    Balloons don't have airspeed unless they have propulsion. Their groundspeed equals the winds speed/ Velocity Speed and direction. Your stall speed will stay the same (indicated) as you go higher but your actual speed through the Air will increase approx 2 kts/1000 feet. Nev

    Getting it from Fossil fuels is the worst of both. Hydrogen Leaks and embrittles Metal. Nev

    Back to Basics. GPS is not true airspeed unless you Know the Wind velocity, your groundspeed and track and sum the vectors. "Pilot Institute" will give you this stuff FREE.. .Nev.

    I do too, But is anyone really Interested anymore? Nev

    There's no need to bring in the election aspects of it in a scientific based article. Economically it either stacks up or it doesn't. I come for a Town based almost entirely on coal and steel production. Newcastle NSW Most of Australia's alloy steels were produced In Commonwealth Steel Companies Electric Furnaces. AWESOME things to be NEAR when they are operating... Nev..

    What are Pateys? Aspergers has been removed from the List. There's all sorts of Conditions. Panic attacks Claustrophobia, Motion sickness. arachnophobia (spiders) Fear of Heights .Yes you Point out I also got it wrong (Less HASTE More SPEED) Mine's what GON has (I think) A product of what he's been through. Common with People who have been in War situations. Nev

    It only works when there's too Much of the Wind and Solar to use for anything else. An excess. Ammonia is another way to use Hydrogen. I would also Point out that the MINING INDUSTRY and the AUSTRALIAN are very unlikely to say anything positive about Hydrogen and the article is around the Politics of it. Nev

    Push the Tail down is the easiest way to lift the Nose. Lift near the strut attach point (carefully). Nev

    We've switched from PTSD to ADHD. TS means Post TRAUMA STRESS. NOTHING Generic or "Spectrum" about that. Nev

    Ther's not much likelihood of such structures being available again. Old jetliner fuselages , maybe It's been done. Nev

    They mention Rotax 100 ULS. Nev

    Yes I realise I've done it all wrong. I have Principles, and seek to find out what's really going on and that's definitely a Handicap.. Having an addiction for Aeroplanes hasn't helped either. Nev.

    How will your MOD be approved? Nev

    It's "Conceived "In South Africa. I can't see why anyone would certify it. The concept is much the same as a Miles Gemini, of the fifties. We've gone a long way since then with performance and control requirements of Multi engine planes. Nev

    If you get LOST in a fast plane you've covered a lot of ground by the time you realise it. You have to be AHEAD of the Plane. ALWAYS. It also FEELS turbulence a lot harder. Don't own a plane to impress others. You'll run out of MONEY doing it. ADHD sufferers.( Incl. ME) aren't ALL as you describe. Nev

    The MORE engines the more chance of having one fail, IF it wont fly on ONE, what use is it? Take a look at what the Plane IS with one engine stopped But NOT feathered It's VERY Assymetric. (Hard to control) and the best you could achieve is an extended Glide for all your good work. On top of that you have the annoying out of SYNCH Inevitable without CS Props in normal flight. Constant fiddling with the throttles. Nev

    Nice looking plane . I nearly Bought VH AHD when I was at Marshalls at Bankstown, Ex Stan Hone CFI at RNAC. Getting upside down with those is risky There's usually a Pylon in front of the forward cockpit to hold the Plane off the ground. I can't see it there. A friend of Mine currently has one at Bendigo. Most went back to the STATES years ago. Aerobatic with a Supercharged Menasco Pirate engine with open valve gear, 150 HP. Delicate U/C structure easily deformed. Under all that "tin". Nev
