You should,ve dropped in on your way home. Interesting hearing your 7500` alt. Dont let Lee U. hear that. or are you GA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultralights Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 A few reasons for being that high, im ga licenced, aircraft is transponder equipped, i like to have as much air below me as possible. Especially over mountainous terrain, also on that day flying below 7500 was difficult to maintain level flight in the moderate to severe turbulance, and the smoke haze was most dense below about 7000. Not to mention the safety factor with quite a few helicopters operating at lower levels. do i pass? and ill bet a coke and a mars bar that ford finish 1 and 2 in the championship!

Ultralights Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 how could i drive a Ford? easy, Holden cant build a car capable of doing what i need! and Ford are better drivers cars, No holden ute will carry a genuine Tonne on the tray, or tow 2.3 tonnes! No holden will give me Big 6 cyl power with the economy of dedicated factory fitted LPG! and having driven a holden and a ford, the ford was a more comfortable and better drive. and also a friend of mine, a police driver trainer, a holden fan herself admitted the Fords were a better car to drive and handles better than the holden. and why i dislike holden, even the commodore isn't 100% Australian design as they claim, like every car holden has a badge on. My Falcon was built and designed, right here in OZ.... not to mention only costing $30 a tank to fill! for 550 Km average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyer Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I had the opportunity to drive my mates V6 commode door the other week and almost had a stack.....I discovered very quickly that you have to rev the daylights out of the engine to get acceptable performance unlike the Falcon which goes like hell in the mid range...... and is a damn sight smoother as well I'm comparing a VT commodore to an EL Falcon here so apples with apples..... The Falcons also run better on LPG with no real perceivable power loss... First On Race Days Jeez...hope the holdens dont get up next year or we're in for a major bagging...
