facthunter Posted May 11 Posted May 11 I wouldn't reckon the post I responded to was a critical one. It's when they ARE that the thrust of the debate can be lost. Nev 1

onetrack Posted July 15 Posted July 15 Didn't take long for a discussion about ultralight aircraft to become derailed! More importantly, I don't believe that anyone with a workshop that spotlessly clean and beautifully tidy, ever does any work in it!! He must have a real workshop nearby!!
Marty_d Posted July 15 Posted July 15 Like the Waterford crystal factory in Ireland (I lived in County Waterford for a while). If you do the factory tour they show you people blowing glass, then you go to another room where you stand behind a rope curtain and watch half a dozen skilled workers painstakingly cutting the grooves into the crystal glasses by hand. Then you kind of think... hold on, how many sets of glasses do they sell each day worldwide? And we're supposed to believe that 3 glass-blowers and 6 people with Dremels are supplying that...? 1
jackc Posted July 15 Author Posted July 15 Well I am researching the purchase/assembly situation for Aerolite 103, so I can fly in the U.S.? 2
jackc Posted July 15 Author Posted July 15 I have had a bucket list plan for a while, just was not sure how to execute it. I wanted to fly cross country trips in the U.S. in a FAR Part 103 aircraft. But it’s not doable without a support team. So over the weekend I rethought the whole thing and have 12 months. I buy the plane, ready to fly or close to it. Complete assembly and fly off a few test/familiarisation hours THEN I organise a staging area in Wisconsin and……I fly into Oshkosh 2025, in MY aircraft for the event. THEN I fly out at the end, and organise disassembly and shipping home to Australia. Don’t ask what happens after that 🤩🤩 I have found a shipper, just need to organise the rest. People will say, but this will cost a heap of money blah blah, well I am hear to say I don’t F….g care because you only live once, and I will spend as much as it takes because I CAN. Would not care if I went to my grave stony broke…….I will have done what I wanted to do.👍 And trust me, I have done a lot of crazy crap in my life 🤩🤩 1 1
facthunter Posted July 15 Posted July 15 Didn't someone do that a while back and follow migratory Geese with very basic U/l's down the West Coast? The Imagery was fantastic. It must be still around. Nev 1
