No further comments since New Years Day.
Just a few years ago, this would have been big news. Says something about modern ultralights!
Congratulations from me anyway, on a great achievment.
Any news about their further progress?

"Moorabbin Tower. This is Warrier ----- overflying your patch at 1500 , please advise on Ornotholigical activity in area, and wind direction"
That should do the trick.

"Because ....................... an Orse is an Orse of course, of course, and noone has heard of a talking Orse, unless of coarse that talking orse is the famours Mr ...................
Ed, the edumicated steeple-chaser who was always one jump ahead, like a chick I once knew, except she didn't talk about it much.
Meanwhile the Captains Irish Orse was led away to the speech therylypist to cure it's stutter, of course, of course.

Very sad news, but we can only wish for a full recovery for the pilot.

Thats certainly a cut above the rest

I'm still trying to work out how almost two ton of "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" managed to get airborne, with two adults and a tribe of kids while powered with a Ford Zephyr motor?
It's got me stuffed!

Whoever said flying was dangerous, has probably never ridden on the back of an R1 with this loony?
I'm surprised he even made to the end of this clip.

I just Googled it, and found this info that others might find interesting.
DVICE has a slideshow of 26 strange aircraft that, although oddly designed, actually flew. Among them is the Inflatoplane developed by Goodyear in 1956. This plane had an inflatable rubber body. It was small and light enough to be moved in a wheelbarrow. The engineers hoped that this plane could be dropped behind enemy lines for downed pilots to use to escape:
The Inflatoplane’s performance was comparable to that of a a J3 Cub. The airplane was wheeled out like a wheelbarrow and inflated in about 5 minutes using less air pressure than a car tire. The two-cycle 40-hp Nelson engine had to be hand-started and held 20 gallons of fuel.
The Inflatoplane carried a maximum weight of 240 lb., had a range of 390 mi., and an endurance of 6.5 hr.s. Its cruise speed was 60 mph. Take off distance on sod was 250 ft with 575 ft needed to clear a 50-foot obstacle. It landed in 350 ft on sod. Rate of climb was 550 ft per min. Its service ceiling was estimated at 10,000 ft.

Stop looking at this idle humour, and get cracking with that Sierra.As brilliant as they are, they don't self-assemble.
Looking forward to seeing pics of the finished article.

If the good lord had wanted Sierras to self assemble, they'd have come with a white stick with a black tip provided in the kit.

One day a man walks into a dentist's and asks how much it will cost to extract wisdom teeth?
"$160," the dentist says.
"That's a ridiculous amount," the man says. "Isn't there a cheaper way?"
"Well," the dentist says, "if you don't use an anaesthetic, I can knock it down to $120."
"That's still too expensive," the man says.
"Okay," says the dentist. "If I save on anaesthesia and simply rip the teeth out with a pair of pliers, I could get away with charging $40."
"Nope," moans the man, "it's still too much."
"Hmm," says the dentist, scratching his head. "If I let one of my students do it for the experience, I suppose I could charge you just $20."
"Marvellous," says the man, "book my wife for next Tuesday !"

One day two friends were talking..
One said, "I don't know what to get my wife for her birthday. She has everything, and besides, she can afford to buy anything she wants. So, I'm stumped."
His buddy said, "I have an idea. Why don't you make up a certificate that says she can have two hours of great sex, any way she wants it. She'll probably be thrilled!"
So the first fella did just that.
The next day his buddy asked, "Well, did you take my suggestion? How did it turn out?"
"She loved it. She jumped up:clap2:, thanked me, kissed me on the mouth, and ran out the door yelling, 'I'll see you in two hours'."

Second Opinion!
The doctor said, 'Joe, the good news is I can finaly cure your headaches. The bad news is that it will require castration.
You have a very rare condition, which causes your testicles to press on your spine and the pressure creates one heck of a headache. The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles.'Joe was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had anything to live for. He had no choice but to go under the knife. When he left the hospital, he was without a headache for the first time in 20 years, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself. As he walked down the street, he realized that he felt like a different person. He could make a new beginning and live a new life.:big_grin:
He saw a men's clothing store and thought, 'That's what I need... A new suit.'He entered the shop and told the salesman, 'I'd like a new suit.'
The elderly tailor eyed him briefly and said, 'Let's see... size 44 long.'
Joe laughed, 'That's right, how did you know?'
'Been in the business 60 years!' the tailor said.
Joe tried on the suit it fit perfectly.
As Joe admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, 'How about a new shirt?'
Joe thought for a moment and then said, 'Sure.'
The salesman eyed Joe and said, 'Let's see, 34 sleeves and 16-1/2 neck.'
Joe was surprised, 'That's right, how did you know?'
'Been in the business 60 years.'
Joe tried on the shirt and it fit perfectly.
Joe walked comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked, 'How about some new underwear?'
Joe thought for a moment and said, 'Sure.'
The salesman said, 'Let's see... size 38.
Joe laughed, 'Ah ha! I got you! I've worn a size 34 since I was 18 years old.'
The salesman shook his head, 'You can't wear a size 34. A size 34 would press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one heck of a headache.'
New suit - $400
New shirt - $36
New underwear - $6
Second Opinion - PRICELESS -
Fully rested and 95 bucks better off, I assume.Six munce ago, I coodent even spell injunear, now I are wun............ -
Looks like a North American Trojan to me.
14 to 16 litres of fuel won't get you far in that one. Stick with the J160 or Gazelle Andrew.

Guess who ducked away to see the cricket and missed Nev's posts?

...see, (or is that sea?) that someone is up to...
a little bit of scullduggery.
It's good to see a bit of young blood around here for a change, i'm rather partial to that, as it reminds me of my younger years said the Madam :thumb_up::cheer::spruce_up: who with her whip in hand burst into singing "Get em up, move em round, Rawhide
Yeeeeeeeeha"

Always sad to hear of incidents such as this. May they all rest in peace

A young man and his date were parked on a back road some distance from town. They were about to have sex when the girl stopped.
"I really should have mentioned this earlier, but I'm actually a hooker and I charge $20 for sex." The man reluctantly paid her, and they did their thing.
After a cigarette, the man just sat in the driver's seat looking out the window. "Why aren't we going anywhere?" asked the girl.
"Well, I should have mentioned this before, but I'm actually a taxi driver, and the fare back to town is $25..."

A couple floating down Melbourne's flooded Yarra River on inflatable dolls have been rescued after getting into trouble.
Police say the 19-year-old couple had just passed Pound Bend Tunnel at Warrandyte North when the water became turbulent and the woman lost control of her grip on the doll about 4.30pm (AEDT) on Sunday.
The woman grabbed hold of a tree that was floating in the river.
The man stayed with her and they yelled for help, police say.
A passer-by contacted triple zero and police and SES went to the scene.
A kayaker took life jackets to the pair and the SES attended with a boat and rescued the pair.
They were checked by ambulance officers but did not require medical attention.
Police say the fate of the dolls is unknown.
It can only be assumed that the poor lady got into trouble, after the doll went down on her?

I hadn't seen this one before today.
Hope you enjoy the video clip.

My kids used to have guinea pigs, as did the next door neighbours, and I think they used to kill them with kindness.
It's amazing how useful a post boring tool can be.

A salesman drove into a small town where a circus was in progress. A sign
read: 'Don't Miss The Amazing Scotsman'...
The salesman bought a ticket and sat down.
There, on centre stage, was a table with three walnuts on it. Standing next
to it was an old Scotsman. Suddenly the old man lifted his kilt, whipped out
a huge willy and smashed all three walnuts with three mighty swings! The
crowd erupted in applause as the elderly Scot was carried
off on the shoulders of the crowd.
Ten years later the salesman visited the same little town and saw a faded
sign for the same circus and the same sign 'Don't Miss The Amazing
Scotsman'.
He couldn't believe the old guy was still alive, much less still doing his
act! He bought a ticket. Again, the centre ring was illuminated. - This
time, however, instead of walnuts, three coconuts were placed on the table.
The Scotsman stood before them, then suddenly lifted his kilt and shattered
the coconuts with three swings of his amazing member. The crowd went wild!
Flabbergasted, the salesman requested a meeting with him after the show.
"You're incredible!" he told the Scotsman. "But I have to know something.
You're older now, why switch from walnuts to coconuts?"
'Well laddie," said the Scot, "Ma eyes are nae whit they used tae be..."

Ever since I was a child, I've always had a fear of someone under my bed at night. So I went to a psychiatrist and told her. . . 'I've got problems. Every time I go to bed I think there's somebody under it. I'm scared. I think I'm going crazy.'
'Just put yourself in my hands for one year,' said the psyc't. 'Come talk to me three times a week and we should be able to get rid of those fears..'
How much do you charge?'
$95 dollars per visit,' replied the expert.
'I'll sleep on it,' I said.
Six months later, she met me on the street. 'Why didn't you ever come to see me about those fears you were having?' she asked.
'Well, ninety five bucks a visit three times a week for a year is an awfullot of money! A bartender cured me for 10 bucks. I was so happy to have saved all that money that I went and bought me a brand new ute!'
'Is that so?' With a bit of an attitude she said, 'and how, may I ask, did a bartender cure you?'
'He told me to cut the legs off the bed!.................. Ain't nobody under there now!'
BUGGER THOSE LEARNED DOCTORS.. JUST GO HAVE A DRINK & TALK TO YOUR BARTENDER.
PS. Nothing personal to my lovely friend on here!

so many cfi's expect everyone to be able to see the port and starboard views at the same time, but we're not all capable of that.
Having said that, word has it, that some rodents are capable of looking North and South at the same time, (but this could be hidden from view behind cheap Chinese-copy Raybans from the markets), while it's rumored that Planey has a big advantage over many, since having all his instruments converted to braille :vis:
