  1. How does a pilot with a brain tumour, get to keep his licence , with the only , ( to date ) . Infringement, he must fly with a duly qualified pilot , Who has the ability to take command. Flying commercial, not passenger Cessna twin . spacesailor
  2. Three wheels , thats another economic advantage. As all , seem to replace their tyres by the due date , & not when worn out . I haven't heard much discussion on other replacement by date car parts. Like that carbon canister, seat belts and safety ' airbags ' . All have a limited lifespan. Those tyres for my neighbours Tesla will frighten him when they need replacement. spacesailor
  3. I have a three colour battery lamp for signals. You never know !!. Loud hailer. spacesailor
  4. A long time ago I could have bought a ' brand new Jab ' . Cheaply. Made by a Sydney university as a teaching aid, then sold at the conclusion of the course. And the cost to that University was less . So another one for the next student intake . Who stopped that great idea ?. spacesailor
  5. Are they that important on circuits. ( hopefully no downwind landings. ( unannounced )). No electricity in my HUMMEL-BIRD. So hand held radio only. spacesailor
  6. All of the above, excluding two seats . Took me to my Hummel-Bird. Plans built ( cheaper than made for you ) . Aluminium, easy to work with . Fairly fast , 80kn cruise, Economic, 6 ltrs per hour . Engine choice Wheels, td or trike, And good looking. Dave Kings spacesailor PS survivability
  7. You definitely would have to have a good deodorant. Or take that glass dome off in summer . I have never seen a convertible Messerschmitt. spacesailor Holding breath after the brother farted.
  8. I have many hours in a " A22 Foxbat " . ( 30s ) Very impressed by it comfort , as well as ease of operating . Would love to go flying again . BUT As my. CFI says " I'm wasting his time & my money " . It took a couple of ' blue years 'to get over that . & have not flown since . A nice new hip, a prostate rebore , I'll soon be a teenybopper , ( as soon as I'm out of these nappies ) . spacesailor Ps , four words changed by AI
  9. " own personal space ", That is bad , your personal space ' ends ' when you get behind the wheel . Road & fuel / pollution ! Get a " Messerschmitt " two seater car . They were a comfortable ride . I can imagine a row of them stopped at the traffic lights ready to roar away on green . spacesailor
  10. How many still offer that spare seat ? . How many cars ' in the rush hour ' have but one person . NSW has one lane for cars with more than. one person. And I know of a couple of drivers who have put " mannequins " in their passenger seat . Just to flaunt that rule . spacesailor
  11. Simple solution. As quoted 18 ltrs pr hour . Average . Make more ' ultralight ' aircraft . If there was a push, to get small engined aircraft into the mainstream . Fuel usage half that average , would surely reduce the ' c02 emissions. Back to " AUF " . IT SEEMS, that higher weight RAA wants , it's opposite to what is needed . spacesailor
  12. The one who says " your aircraft " is not the master in charge . So Says my instructor. spacesailor
  13. The original highbrid dog . Was for a " sight- impaired " person with an ' allergy ' to dog hair . wally Conron of " guide dogs Victoria, crossed a Labrador & Poodle, to invent the LABRADOODLE He now hates the bad use of his idea . spacesailor
  14. And , it's a green landscape, looking great ! . spacesailor
  15. Only takes a ' half floating beer bottle ' to punch a hole through even thick laminated frp . As happened, to " Fallacy " in the Hawksbury River race '' . How did they know what it was ! . It came inside the boat . spacesailor
  16. I agree. It is nice , I just didn't like the ' cold frosty mornings ' . I may bring my electric blanket, next time . LoL spacesailor
  17. I've heard of " Priority Assistance Needed " . Not " possible " Assistance Needed ". From nautical H F radio licence course . Now to sit an aeronautical VHF radio licence course . Is there much difference. spacesailor
  18. I , have always been told A , " pan Pan " landing , takes priority over Any normal Activity. Clear the runway . spacesailor
  19. Lots of dog breeders in Sydney area . What breed are you looking for . My bro,in,law had , Lawenthan Kennels with " Irish Setters " , the one on the , " Pal dog food " tins . spacesailor
  20. Lots of dog breeders in Sydney area . There's even a ' deer farm ' close by to Camden. I hope your using a registered breeder , which should be in the ' association register. spacesailor
  21. Buy a plug from an electrical shop , solder a length of reasonable thickness. ( so it doesn't get hot )wire , making sure the centre post is the same as your 12 v port . simples or if nonecompetent , have a L2 make one up for you . spacesailor
  22. How close do you need . A couple of hours run from Parramatta! . spacesailor
  23. But why keep the round shape ( that you started with ). Squashing it to an oval shape will lessen drag . Many years ago , I made my own ' roof racks ' from 2" stainless , that I picked up heap . They looked shit when finished, so I squashed that pipe to 1" by whatever it was . Then everyone wanted those great looking aerodynamic roof-racks . I put a 3/4" wood dowel in the stainless pipe &used a press to get it right . I have no idea what your curves would turn out after pressing it . spacesailor
  24. They ' possibly ' can be upgraded . But they want your money. They can & do sell refurbished items overseas . For the lower technology country's. Then those country's will be cut off & upgraded later. spacesailor
  25. I sent a him short message , but no answer yet . spacesailor
