    In the boating world gelcoat is kept polished . Eventually it will wear thin, then it's gets a gelcoat respray or the preferred method these days is paint in 2 Pac epoxy. Lighter than gelcoat and long lasting. I thought jabirus were painted in Matterhorn white 2 Pac instead of gelcoat.. someone will correct me .

    its a bit of oxidising for christs sake. polish with one the many restorers avialable at any auto parts store or boat shop and wax it when your finished.

    3km x 60 mt if needs to bring an a380 in to carry his gold out.

    a bloke here has a 600 mt runway and flies a 172 off it. no trees or obstacles at either end helps .

    1200 metres The runway length should be not less than 1200 metres. 25 metre turning node at each end of the runway (Figures 1 and 2). The preferred runway width is 20 metres. The maximum allowable longitudinal slope between runway ends is 2%. File Size: 141KB Page Count: 13 main roads wa recommendation

    depends how good a pilot you are. i need one about 50 mts wide.😁

    its cleaner and quicker and cheaper. epoxy is excellent for strength. even if the skyranger is epoxy it probably has some sort of poly gelcoat. any marine gelcoat restorer will do the trick. i have brought a couple of boats up like new by rubbing oil onto them. restorers probably do something similar.

    I thought it was at Tullamore, or is that the same area

    those qantas link and alliance aircraft are probably all fifo flights. i think you are looking at at a couple of days history somehow.

    I read a pilots story about flying a Hercules. He said 60 degree banks are normal for them. I guess they are trained to get in and out quickly to avoid ground attack.

    Hi bosi. I assume they still do it. You would have to be lucky to see it though. They usually don't fly weekends and holidays. I miss the days when the jets were flying. Much more exciting to watch than pc21s
  23. BrendAn
    how many deg do you consder steep when banking.
  24. BrendAn
    we have a spot like that here. the macalister valley in gippsland. raaf used to use it for low level training. my uncle was grading a road once and said he looked down at 2 jets as they flew past. probably macchis or mirages. would be great to see.
