  1. I bet there are not many of us 2 stroke people flying these days with all the fancy euro aircraft and jabs being the main raaus fleet
  2. You can learn all that without paying money for an endorsement. I never had a drama with my 582. I did warm it up at 3000 rpm before flight though. Never cooled much on descent either , draggy plane keeps the revs up until touch down.
  3. After all the arguments here about the 2 stroke endorsement, I have enquired about getting it because I now have a 618. I was told I don't need that endorsement any more. It has been dropped from the syllabus. Load of crap like I thought it was.
  4. Even my xair has an unducted fan
  5. Update in the storch 24 to e24 It is done by Darren Barnfield. $1220 plus decals. Turned out to be a quick and painless operation once he spoke to Darren.
  6. well it was a gen 4. it would not restart on the ground. hopefully they will post what happened when they find out.
  7. That's the thing . Batteries are always the problem.
  8. the jab haters jumped on it straight away. it could have run out of fuel. it doesn't automatically mean the engine had a fault.
  9. i meant around the world. hummelbirds are popular. you are giving me a headache. i need a rest . you cleared my constipation anyway.🙂
  10. It will be interesting to see the finished product and how it's charged and range etc. A project this large may help advance battery technology too.
  11. There are a lot of hummelbirds flying so why is spaceys special.
  12. Imagine the size of the PowerPoint to plug it into.😁
  13. so what do they do when buiding a kit or plans built ac. i thought they had inspections for each stage . i would not want to fly in one that hadn't.
  14. which one suggests it can be done, i was wrong about wing loadings, there is a section on that. i agree with what you saying but his aircraft may fit criteria under vh rules. for instance if the stall speed is too high for raaus . it might be ok for vh. only an inspection by a vh exp inspector will provide the ultimate answer.
  15. whether it is saaa or casa appointed people, someone has to do the coa.
  16. i simply posted what i could find on the subject. i don't believe the comments about registering without inspection. someone has to do an inspection to provide a coa. stop trying to turn everything into some liability argument.
  17. there is no category that mentions giant electric boats.
  18. true. i never thought of that.
  19. section 3 deals with inspections and explains wing loading requirements. advisory-circular-21-11-amateur-built-(abaa)-aircraft-certification (1).pdf
  20. https://www.msn.com/en-au/money/markets/this-400-foot-electric-ferry-is-powered-by-275-tons-of-batteries-its-manufacturer-calls-it-a-giant-leap-forward-for-shipping/ar-AA1Eg268 apologies in advance. its not an aircraft but the electric enthusiasts on here might like it. 250 tons of batteries.
  21. . saaa inspectors are not going to pass an aircraft that is not airworthy.
  22. Neither did spacesailors question, he asked if wing loading was taken into account for vh experimental.
