    Similar to the trailer ' shackle ' fiasco. The pin , by law had to be yellow !. What a lot of yellow spray paint was sold . I mean the paint doesn't last long & a spray can Is the cheaper option. spacesailor

    I worked at a foundry , making aluminum ingots . All those aircfaft & parts , that we wish for now had Almost no value. No-one wanted that ' junk ' Then , we desperately needed FOOD . Brand new aircraft, never assembled, crate included, fed into furnaces. Also Harley & Indian motorbikes in crates went the same way. As well as hundreds of used odnance came by truck and rail. Sometimes we had the chance to go get it ourselves, seeing those Vast airfields & hangers full of ' everything ', That, We Want today ! . spacesailor

    Try 1/4 " ailerons up " . It works on Hummel birds & gives a few knots more speed without an increase in revs . ( perhaps less drag or something similar). spacesailor

    At $ 200 s an hour dual . Your own plane makes sense for hour building. That's the break even price to sell your dream machine or ,hire someone else's dream machine. And don't forget the dollars for your club membership! . I can't fly but just love my " Dream machine " . So should I sell it . Just because I don't use it . The Dollar spend IS in my favour, as it has NO outlay at all . spacesailor

    AND YET, This government has spent $ 75.1 MILLION on this ' voice properganda ' to ' Force ' us to vote the way They want . No care for those that are homeless, or WHERE could They do more GOOD for Australians in general .. NO apartheid should be allowed in Australia. spacesailor

    My soninlaw put the deposit's on at least four houses to lease them out. two in Melbourne and two in Brisbane , As all those were Not in his vicinity. He had to do the yearly inspection and maintenance by staying in a hotel with meals included . When he returned to Sydney , all his receipts went to his Accountant . Who promptly deducted All from Any tax he had from his Electrician business . PS . He lived at \ with his parents . So not a lot of outgoing expense there . NOW is a GreyNomad . with two Sydney rentals supplementing his retirement AND Happy . spacesailor

    What could be FAIRER The fact my son inlaw , Pay's LESS INCOME tax . ( negative gearing). He buys a New Ute, and lawnmower, as well as his fuel cost are covered . Then all the interest on his loans ! , ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE. We the highly Taxed owner occupier ,get NOTHING . IS IT FAIR . spacesailor

    From the forties , till the latest motor off the production line . The chance of a breakdown has Allmost disappeared. How many here Still carry tools & spares. I DON'T. Routine maintenance beats waiting for the stoppage, every time . BUT I still have problems,! , with 25 year old battery terminals failing to charge , one of a dual battery system . Another dead flat battery to adorn the garden . Until I need more lead for something or other . spacesailor

    The 1938 VW Beetle type 60 , was designed by '' Ferdinand Porsche " .in 1935 . So must have been a good design to last that long . The ' new ' half VW ' MOTOR , can have many refinement's, including : " Nicasil " ! , ( Nicel Silicon Carbide ) electroplating . with " Electronic ignition " , on two ' spark-plugs ' per head . which seems good for a " half " 1935 designed motor . spacesailor

    The ' twins ' can land on " warehouses " like the one in Melbourne. spacesailor

    BUT To change " same for same " should Not be MARAP . As there Is No change ! . spacesailor

    MUCH BETTER . THAN. A Chinese Super cheapi that when unboxed ! , fails to ignite the " firecracker banger " , Then those " cords " that hold you to the canopy , Hope it's not recycled old rope ! . spacesailor

    Just tell them !. No ' New Bolly prop ' , but will keep the OLD one . Please return remittance. I wonder what the response will be. spacesailor
