    I think it is designed by the owner. Lightening is side by side taildragger. This one is a tandem nose wheel.

    Airplane that is, not the insect.😁

    There is a cricket fitted with twin RC jets.

    You can't say your bored anyway😁

    Time for ?
  6. BrendAn
    Yes, I guess that depends on how many people start the hobby late in life and how many have been in it since they were young. I fall into your category having got into it in my 50s.

    There is an interesting letter to the editor about Ra member age. There seem to be few young members. The only young people I have seen at our club use raaus as a cheaper stepping stone to cpl. They rarely build or buy aircraft and stay in raaus . Seems to be the same in every club I have been in over the years. Bearing this in mind if the average age of our members is say 50 plus then what will it look like in 10 or 20 years time.

    No one mentioned the free funnel. I can ice a cake or top oil up now.😁

    A large RC jet engine would be pretty cool in a sapphire.

    That's what I hated with my 582 powered xair. It used to spit oil onto the fabric tail skins. excellent engine though.

    I was just taking a guess at 20 HP 2 stroke consumption. One of those little 4 stroke paramotors would sip fuel .

    The only one I have seen was bought off Kasper in this group. That had a kfm 20 HP 2 stroke. Supposed to have had a top speed of 80 knots.
  13. BrendAn
    What engine ?
  14. BrendAn
    A lot of work and expense for short flight times. A sapphire does 80 knots with a 20 HP 2 stroke at I guess around 10 lph. You could fit a 4 stoke paramotor to one for an extremely efficient aircraft. I see the attraction of electric but petrol wins I think. Just a dinosaurs opinion.

    Have been for ages.

    I don't know what they could say when the information has been out for so long. I think a statement months ago would have been more appropriate.

    What breed of AC is that

    Not Wedderburn Victoria 😁. People talk about the oaks and Wedderburn, just wondered if they are the same airfield. I will look it up on google.
  22. BrendAn
    Is the oaks Wedderburn. Or are they 2 different places
  23. BrendAn
    i disagree. there are excellent p 103 types available. adding weight,speed and higher stall is pointless. its like all the european expensive speed machines being called ultralights.

    i think we have our wires crossed. it has nothing to do with the prosecution of that case. it was to close the loophole which allowed matt to use paraglider hours towards a fixed wing licence.
  25. BrendAn
    well that would be pretty hard to do . the manual was rewritten to close the paraglider loophole. pretty sure casa told them too. i don't understand what you are saying.
