  1. I don't know where turbo gets his information. Why would raaus be working on gaining access if it's already available.
  2. They have set up a temporary bar while repairs are made. How Aussie is that. Gotta keep the beer flowing.😁
  3. You can not enter controlled airspace without an RPL. An raaus aircraft can if equipped for it but the pilot must have RPL not rpc. And RPL pilot needs an rpc to fly raaus.
  4. i watched a youtube of john williams talking about the engines he has tried in the titan tornado . he did try a wankel and was impressed with it but it created too much exhaust heat . and that was a problem in the tornado. he also said he had a room full of engines that didn't work. even a 2 cyl inline rotax 4 stroke which was abysmal. then rotax offered him one the first 912s and said try it, if you like it pay for it. if not send it back. he now had the perfect engine. rip john. a great loss to experimental aviation, only a couple of weeks ago.
  5. i have done a bit of jab bashing in the past but since i have had this 2200a solid lifter i am impressed with how smooth and reliable it is. and economical. i have only done 35 of the 403 hrs but in the logbooks there are no mentions of engine failure or repairs.
  6. I think he removed a Renault and fitted the gypsy
  7. Mustangs recovered from nuclear test site _ Wings Over New Zealand.html
  8. off topic but related. a few years ago there was a story on tv about some p51 mustangs that were dug up at woomera i think. they were restoring one of them. was it common practice to bury stuff like that or was it to do with radiation.
  9. It was fitted in place of whatever the original was. He said there is an stc for the conversion.
  10. it is also powered by a gypsy major.
  11. https://planehistoria.com/
  12. Ok . I give up.i just thought I would post an interesting photo but then the nevativity kicked in. Look up plane historia, they have terrific images and I am sure they would not putting fake stuff.
  13. Of course they were scrapped. I don't know why you have taken this approach to the topic. I don't understand what you are going on about.
  14. So where did they park the thousands of left over aircraft at the end of the war. You say the history group are photo shopping so where did they all go.
  15. They were new aircraft. Pretty good chance they could fly.
  16. it was on the radio today as well.
  17. do you know better. fill us in.
  18. i got this photo from a facebook page called plane historia. they have some excellent pictures.
  19. been around for years 😁
  20. someone said it may be a setup for high angle rescue training . looks good though.
  21. this throws out the theory that take offs and landings should be equal
  22. i am not sure what you are saying but here we use the hour meter for our flight time when training. even warmup and taxi are counted as flight time.
