After reading of bureaucracy , that controls not administers, I think I will Deny any ' diagnosed ' illnesses. i have aready sacked my heart Dr, as he never gave me any results, but sent them to the ' cloud '; For anyone who knows how to scam me, can read my results . SO , officially on paper ! , I know nothing ,( Schultz ) . spacesailor

  4. But we're is the power take-off. spacesailor
  5. Paramotor It must be very light, so possibility of No accessories, spacesailor
  6. " Foreign objects " You mean , like those Japanese cyclists !. spacesailor
  7. I did say it WAS FAST . Compared to a standard outboard motor . It was replace by a 90 hp outboard that practically , was far to heavy to be safe . On a 13 foot fibre glass speed boat. My brothers old boat was the N Z speed record holder , powered by a RR Merlin engine , double planked Kauri hull . spacesailor
  8. The Wankle ' outboard motor ' had poor sealing coating. That pealed off after a couple of years. Like a super thick Teflon. I know as we bought one. & yes very thirsty, compared to standard outboard motors . And it was fast ! ,for it's size . spacesailor
  9. Doesn't it depend on the chemical residue. Can it be clean properly. spacesailor
  10. '' Good training is to sit in the cockpit and go though what you’d do in all the emergency scenarious. .. Unless . you do the ' start . OUTSIDE . Hand propping , may well be a dying art , but at least you can run away from that fire . spacesailor
  11. Theres a ' needle ' & drugs , for that . I had to ' self inject ' after my hip operation. spacesailor
  12. '' If my joystick is in danger of burning, '' . Thinking of what you said !. I will 'cut a vent hole ' in the floor ,of my HummBird , to vent any ' leaking fuel ' OUT & away from my body . The amount of fuel Left from your flight , is of No use when the motor has died . But will keep the fire going longer. spacesailor
  13. '' It's not quite in the HP range WE want and may never be. '' Doesn't that criteria ruin an '' Exceptional '' aircraft design ?. when an engine gives 38 HP for a weight of 85 lbs ( 38.5554 klgms ). In a single seater that gets 140 mph ( 225.308 kph vne . fuel consumption of 60 mpg US. ( 3.85598 L p 100 klmters ) . I think it's more of what most Recreational flyers WANT. spacesailor
  14. NO nothing like that . Just a Car gearshift ' ball ' . it looks good & of course being ' upmarket' is well finished . The Hoon look of yesteryear . spacesailor
  15. My nephew has jumped ship ( airline ) from '' Easyjet '' to '' Emirates airlines '' . hopefully with a big pay rise . not just a bigger plane . spacesailor
  16. The OLD shit the hospitals gave you, ( only known as Opiates ) , made your head spin at an unnerving rate . then those dreams of running on turning stones , would have driven an adult to drink !. BUT I was Three & as skinny as a pole . ( four five 6 7 8 somewhere after which I started school ). PS , my Delica has a bed in the back , with not a lot of headroom . ( I think I may have to take a step-ladder ). spacesailor
  17. I WISH to travel to your show !. But Everything is in the maybe box , I got my Delica out & will have a trial run , with sleepover this weekend. Climbing in & out of a bed high on wheels , won't be the best idea . I will definatly miss my soft & comfortable bed. ( first trip in Years ). spacesailor
  18. Now to get that ' Alloy ' ball , off my joystick & a nice bit of " Driftwood " shaped for my hand-size ! . But the ' ball ' atop the stick , feels good from any direction spacesailor
  19. My sentiment entirely. Wood Never gets cold enough to freeze on your hand , also can be shaped to your hand , Large or Small . Made from " Rosewood " it doen't Burn , ( too dense, like Oak & Ironbark ) . spacesailor
  20. Also the fact they kept wages as low as they could , making staff , go were the pay-scale was a match for their professionalism. I found a neibour was an X Qantas Engineer, that was Cut from their work-force. Now , works for ' himself, designing, building Electro/Hydraulic " trick cars ". That can jump off the ground . Must pay well !. spacesailor
  21. It seems a jabiru 2.2 '' Dry weight: 62.8 kg (138 lbs) with exhaust, '' And Jabiru 3,3 '' Weight: 180 lbs. (81 kg.) incl. Exhaust, Carburetor, Starter Motor, Alternator & Ignition System & Accessory pack.'' are quite light in comparison . But , mine is a ultralite 85 pound all up weight, ( 38.5554 klgms ) . spacesailor
  22. '' There'd have to be a few old blokes on here who can longer fly, who'd love to have it as a static display in their garage, while they sit in it making engine noises and spitting on the inside of the windshield '' YES But you can get your Thrill with a little HummelBird . LoL spacesailor
  23. But will the ' insurer ' sell-off the wreck . Then that ' cheap ' aircraft will have a nice new owner ! . As the " never to be registered " tag doesn't apply. spacesailor
  24. LOTS ! Of ' V W ' convertions in planes & direct drive . One ' Spitfire ' with 3.2 litre V 6 Isuzu motor ( Holden Jackaroo ) SUBARU are flying too . And a ' Camic ' in a box for sale at Newcastle . spacesailor
  25. Cars are a lot like People . They have a Finite life . keep them running & they last lots longer . Lots of tender loving care helps both . spacesailor
