  1. runway 03 at traralgon has regular windshear when the breeze flows over the trees on the east side . scary stuff when you hit sink like that.
  2. this video is more fiiting for the category
  3. they are all 19 reg kits so you could put whatever you wanted on i supppose. bmw r100 engine has been used with success , i think there are 8 xairs using them in the uk.
  4. my mistake. can you move it to engines and props please. if it can be done.
  5. they may also be using the mz202. bolts in place of a 582 and is available new.
  6. I didn't know where to put it. It is oddball so I put it here. Move it to a more appropriate thread if you want.
  7. Some of his creations are brilliant.
  8. I don't think it's for an aircraft. More like an airshow attraction on a stand. Most likely built because they could.
  9. nice kiwi radial. 9 honda xr600 engines.
  10. your not alone there
  11. i think it is a competition in america, he who has the biggest tyres wins.
  12. the bloke at the end probably wishes he had kept a better lookout for powerlines
  13. To put it in context I had already flown 12 hours with that instructor and done a lot of stall training with him. I doubt he would do it with a new student. I thought the amount of time we spent on stalls was over the top but now I look back I am glad we did it.
  14. i had an instructor cut the throttle and drop down maybe to 100 ft above a paddock without warning. scared sh#t out of me but he said that wasn't the intention. he just wanted to show me how quick things happen on climbout with a sudden ef. he is a great instructor that shows you a bit more than what the syllabus says.
  15. That's why I love flying xairs. I know most people want to fly faster and get somewhere. For me its all about flying around my local area on the weekend. Being up there is more important to me. And everywhere I look around here there is a flat paddocks or farm road to land on and the xair needs very little space to land. Just have to be mindful of powerlines and pivot irrigators.
  16. Raaus do teach outlanding and we get made to practise it quite a bit during training.
  17. I already said we are on the wrong forum for the subject. But at the end of the day does it really matter. I already got my info regarding the prop.
  18. saying there is no quick fix means nothing gets done. we need to change bail laws. jails have to be places people don't want to go to. not somewhere to catch up with mates . tobacco taxs should be returned to previous levels. if cigarettes cost no more than chop chop the tobacco war would stop overnight. all those taxes do is incite crime and take food off the table in low income households. i have seen it myself around here. the do gooder judges need to be sacked and get some decent people in there.
  19. What about all the torched and shot up houses. That poor girl that died the other night because scum torched the house she was looking after for her brother. . The do gooder attitude has caused a lot of this . It started with schools abolishing corporal punishment. When we were young we were shit scared of cops now they get laughed at and attacked. School teachers are leaving the profession because of the violence and abuse by students and their parents. But don't worry about that nev.
  20. No
  21. Gazelles are certified so I would imagine it would be an extremely hard process to do that. But I agree with you.
