  9. I wasn't converting metrics to another system. I can't understand 0.18 of a Kilometre. On a " walking ap " ( Strava ) .or decimals of " kilometres per hour " . why not 'meters per second ' , it makes just as much sense . As " litres per bushel " , one is volume . The other, a farmer's " arm reach " around straw . What next a " peck " of picked plums in litres . Or ten kilohertz of concrete in a driveway . ( sound of. Truck unloading in Decibels ) . spacesailor
  10. The " Fairey rotodyne " solve that problem of too many parts . They put " ram-jets " on the rotor tips . Noisy but only for vertical take-off , then it became an " autogyro " . Design parameters " airport / city run " . spacesailor

  12. Raa informs it's members . I got nothing regarding deregistering 10-1103 before or after it was removed. Raa has never informed me of alternative registration . This forum members. are the only people to even suggest, putting 10-1103 onto the 19- xxxx Register. ( OR VH Experimental Register ) . spacesailor
  13. A Hummelbird was ' shot ' in the states, as all aircraft are Federal registered. After landing & showing the metal ( could have said bullet ) embedded in the prop. The airfield security called the sheriff's office who promptly called the National Guard. A group of ' duck hunter's ' promptly pointed out the culprit , after being rounded up at gun point by the National Guard. Great story ! , I do hope it's true . spacesailor
