    So !. Such a little thing as changing the " fuel collator drain valve " to a " none " tso'd cheaper or available type , Will void your " aircraft " approval. Only for your insurance . ( I have been trying to get a replacement " Curtis 1/ 8" N P taper " ) . spacesailor

    Second line : " the boilers " . Water tube or fire tube !. AND NOW ' Flash Boilers ' do not need a " certified fireman ' to operate, And again can be . " Fully-Automated ' . Another three $ 20,000 a year workers gone , to a $ multimillion ' computer ' . spacesailor

    A turbine , only need a valve opened for it to spin . The boilers on the other hand need to be " fired up " hours before , and as they know when they will be called on, they , ( bureaucrats ) , who run the show, ' Should have done their ' job. spacesailor

    That lady would have had a " driver assessment form " that her ' doctor ' would have filled out . So if she was that BAD why did that doctor pass her as competent to drive ? . I knew an old lady 79 who crashed her car ' slightly ' . Resulting in ' loss of licence ! BUT If her doctor had done better work , she would NOT have lost her ' sight ' in her left eye . They did save her right eye though . SO, the doctors Do get complacent , AND Today my daughter came with the ' wife & I ', to make certain we get the best of treatment. A bit embarrassing all the same . spacesailor

    Our " sewerage " goes out to sea at ' Bondi & Manly Heads ' Called locally " turd Beach " . The Harbour is very clean . spacesailor PS So told by, " Sydney Aquarium "

    But the doctor has ' past me as competent ' in my ' medical assessment ' for driving . " then " , the "bureaucrat " says ' don't bloody care '. spacesailor

    OR Perhaps the ' normal ' is hotter than the historians thought. Before the " snowball Earth " when giant reptilian creatures were ' top preditor ' . The Earth must have been " hot & lush " for All the " coal " that was laid down . spacesailor

    Sea water is corrosive. The boiler pipes are short lived with the cleanest of water . And what happens to the grid when solar flares hit us hard , ' as they seem to be increasing in strength ' , or is that " properganda . spacesailor

    NSW All 'car drivers 85 or over have to ' pass a practical driving test ' irrespective of their health. " Age discrimination " Do you not agree. spacesailor

    L. B. That was good . Untill a " Better " aircraft came along, then they ' bent ' those rules to add. " wing load rule " . With an escape clause " , IF you have flown before that rule, you are " grandfathered " , just have to pay the penalty of ' flying without ' a licence or registration. Or just transfer to VH experimental rego . Just one of only . A link to a " 61 mpg 100 Mph " . Airliners.net/photo/untitled/Hummel-Bird/2755261/L spacesailor

    Is there a chance of dropping the age. " discrimination " for ' car drivers ! . If the doctor says ' good ' , why should " bureaucrats " over-ride that decision. spacesailor

    During that WAR a new, 'Aircraft / Pilot , ' had , In the " battle of Britain " 6 yes, SIX, ' MINUTES ' to Live . Did that turbo have a chance to get to TBO ! . spacesailor

    Water cooled " scot " bikes were really fast in their day AND That " Jowett Jupiter " was a beautiful sports car . Or Then again was it the " jowett Javlin " . Great cars of their day. spacesailor

    YES There was a ' diesel motor ' that ' always ' made TBO . AND That was its downfall . It only sold one engine per van, then had no spare parts to sell either . The name eludes me , possibly " Trojan " . spacesailor
  18. spacesailor
    BUT ( JUST TO THROW A SPANNER ) . Have they found a way to Recycle those ' super sized ' carbon plates. YET. spacesailor

    ONE QUESTION ! . To the people who Want ' solar on every roof ' . You should kick the government in the arse. The houses that will supply the biggest percentage of power to the ' grid ' , Are locked out of the " subsidies scene " by the $ 250 monthly power bill cap. When we don't use All the power, it Will feed the grid . From 3 Kw usage to 6 Kw grid feed in . The roof is large enough that a 9 Kw system could fit easily . But no subsidies available. spacesailor plus a dozen more locked out in this one street .

    How to ' identify ' whatever wing is on a " Pegasus " 582 trike . ' the number battens ' ! . A bit useless for identifying a folded wing , but it's to heavy for me to lift now. spacesailor

    UNTILL that stiff ' back ' makes your head bump the door arch, because of the racked windscreen. spacesailor

    My reply to the " Caravan " thread . Some people do try to keep out of the Speedsters way . Who can be very ' arrogant ' when stuck behind a caravan's " legal speed limit " . See ! : more " bureaucracy " in the speeds for different vehicles. spacesailor PS neither Jabiru nor EV cars.
