Mate, it might be taking you longer than you hoped for to get Mable in the air, but it's looking good and i'm sure you'll get there before very long. As far as the house is concerned, I hope you are not using these tradies I pulled alongside recently.

Probably trouble with the landing gear . Thrusters are known for it especially in the RG 177 model due to being overdue for thrupple pulley replacement. Would I kid you? -
Not a media Cessna again hopefully. Anyway, hope PIC in command is OK?

Looks good Marty! Loving watching you progress in your build. Don't forget to some sleep too. Rgds Planey

Thanks onetrack. Don't know what happened there. Tried to delete the link on my post but I think it may have been too long to be able to do it. -
Giro down at Stockton Beach NSW this morning. Looks like substancial damage sustained, but main thing is both occupants OK. https://www.solutionsempowerment.com/government-plan-to-kill-with-covid-19-vaccine-aired-on-tv-in-2009/?fbclid=IwAR2ApC2BSjIwK5Ge8MPK2PSb8_zHcUW2DNxzTJuhrwTNL4JK2pOfgNCcMHg

Vans RV-7 crash, S of Charters Towers 23/04/2021
planedriver replied to onetrack's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
I was in awe of that aircraft, and had quite a long friendly chat with the PIC when they visited Bankstown. Very, very sad! RIP. -
Top guy! wishing you a speedy recovery Stewart, from all your mates on here.

I remember that incident. From memory it was a Lancair which had flown in from Perth. On arrival they had filled tanks with fuel ready for the last leg of the journey the following morning. Assuming tanks were full even if the gauge didn't register so, they sadly crashed shortly after takeoff and the occupants died as a result. There was no fire involved due to lack of fuel. It was thought to have been stolen overnight by thieves for their hotted up cars. Very sad!

I agree, sensible guidelines is probably the key

Another close friend who went into a coma and passed a day after his second jab, hadn't even left the house for over 6 weeks other than to get his jab, he had had no visitors at all in that time, but his death was put down as covid. But of course there are no longer autopsies carried out, so we will never know.

What seems a little strange is that in the past month i have had three friends in Sydney hospitals, and all three were whinging that their wards were empty, and that staff seemed to be at an absolute minimum. Maybe they were all tied up with Covid cases. Who knows?

Can you believe all official government websites or not, or, are we all being taken in by what we are told? One certainly needs to keep an open mind and ask a few questions in a bid to get the facts. One things for sure, it's certainly causing a devide in the nation. https://www.facebook.com/messenger_media/?thread_id=100028513240075&attachment_id=274041071221355&message_id=mid.%24cAABa-Y4lqB6CBDNjGV70u4aqUMyX

I flew on the Carvair quite a lot from Southend to Ostend (Belgium) when we used to make fairly regular weekend trips to Bruges. Not being pressurised, they normally handed out barley-sugar sweets for passengers to suck on, not that they gained much altitude just flying across the English Channel. Noisy buggers, and everything seemed to shake and rattle your brains out.They would have been better off handing out olives to stick in our ears.

North Bondi RSL clubs gents, used to have humerous but confronting images behind all the mens urinals which came as a big surprise when you entered for the first time. They have since been removed.

It was the same on Concorde, but some just flushed with pride.
-
Is that another truth spoken in jest I wonder?
-
Well done mate. Looking great!
-
I figure it will only be short flight! Maybe no flight plan needed.

That brings back memories of when I was having a lesson in a glider about half a century ago, and needed to get rid of some beer from the night before. The instructor passed me a length of clear plastic tubing to relieve myself, which I did. Where does this all go I inquired, does this glider have a holding tank of something? Nah! he replied, just don't make yourself known to the woman down there who's hanging her washing out.

Mate, i'm of the age now where iv'e taken note of this. It comes to most of us one day.
-
The tracing system seems to be working well and testing is obviously important, as is doing everything possible to minimise it's spread. It looks like it's going to be something which we will have to live with in the forseeable future sadly.

One thing the mainstream media does not make aware to the public, is that the current deaths total of 993, actually includes 909 from January last year up until New Years day. If you Google Covid 19 data Australia you can see that most of the country is in lockdown and businesses going broke for what has been put down as a total of 84 deaths in the whole of Australia this year. Flu deaths, of which there is a significant number every year, hardly get mentioned. The fact that we are all supposed to be social distancing and wearing masks, may have a bearing on those numbers. Make of that, what you will, and believe whatever suits your line of thinking. I would not want to sway anyone one way or another. However, the figures are there to see on official government sites if people take the trouble to look, which most won't. The majority accept what the media constantly tells us. Thought for the day............If you don't follow mainstream media, you are uninformed. However, if you do, you are largely misinformed. Positive story's don't gain much attention.
