    It makes me sad that we have trolls here. I enjoy everyone's contribution, but there is no need for the trolling which in the end will destroy this site. It isn't new, it has happened on and off for a decade. Good wishes to all.

    This thread is like a Road Runner cartoon. Both sides think they understand physics, but haven't grasped cartoon physics.

    Those AGL tiles are very large and based on the tops of hills, so there would be no space under Class E in many areas. edit... so I had been told, but in thinking about it, the ground profile in the display looks pretty detailed and may be sufficient.

    Jaba, you refer To Avmed doctors, but the people who over rule the DAME are not doctors, they are clerks reading a checklist and nor necessarily understanding it. I am sure I am not the only one to have a specialist perplexed at their questions and requirements, or have the DAME's decision to issue my medical overruled.

    Supposed to be capable of 18 hours endurance but at 75mph and took an hour to climb to 10,000 feet. Designed to defend England from Zeppelins, it was a failure.

    You could put it in a trailer or on the roof rack of the competitor's EV.

    Thinks... must have been a fixed gear aircraft that was expected to spend a lot of time over water. Post war, so slow heavy lifter? Hmmm

    With my similar problem the SWR meter showed a soldering short in the antenna connector.

    With no maintenance history can they ever be registered with CASA or are you buying a collection of parts?

    What is true of flying in England is equally true, mutatis mutandis, of flying in Australia. (Had to get some legal Latin mumbo jumbo in here)

    No! The correct quote is SIC TRANSIT GLORIA MUNDI. It was a telegram to Gloria telling her that the Ford Van had broken down and he would not be there until after the weekend.

    My wife got a TIF in a helicopter a few years ago.

    I have seen a plane which retracts its gear into the fuselage. On leg goes forward, the other back. Racking my brains! it must be either a jet fighter (to maintain profile) or very light (to maintain CoG). I hope someone solves this soon!
