IF an Aussie can\did make a 'world beating ' engine ,IN his home garage before he ' Tooled up ' to make multiple motors.
WHY so hard for Jabiru !.
But , maybe he folded too.

'' unnerves me is those eight legs ''
What Not worried about those Big fangs !, dripping poison .
'' it looks very hard and unforgiving to me.''
Fly Higher , it makes the ground a soft pastel colour . ( Roundtrees Pastels are the softest ) .

GEE !,
Standing on the cliff , watching Hang gliders take off I had stop myself from flying off the edge with them . LoL
whats rational about jumping great heights . to practice parachute landing . ( The Roll when hitting the ground ) .
it's no wonder my ankles & hip gave out .
And I LIKE flying at midday .feeling the ' thump ' as I\we bruise a couple of those soft & cuddly clouds .
spacesailor
I too have that ! .
I just couldn't fly my ' pride & joy ' as it was an untested aircraft & me an untested pilot .
Seems rational tho .
I even asked the only H B driver I know to do the taxiing trials , no luck .
Flying the ' Foxbat A22 was great . No fear there ! But I had a good instructor beside me, huge confidence boost there .

WELL ! .
I couldn't find this forum earlier , & I put a link to an ' electric fuel-pump ' on the wrong site . ( different site ) .
But was told it was Diesel only .
I think I was taking the urine out to ' pasture . in my previous post , & that ' PT 2 connector , could be a safety connector for more than P taking . very interesting subject . ' Peritoneal Dialysis '
spacesailor
Sounds very like .
P T connector : connect PT 2 to sodium solution bag : place bag-on-chair & sit-on-it ,
To empty stomach , connect PT 2 , to empty bag : place bag on-floor, & standup .

a university in Sydney, were building them as an ' aeronautical ' training scheme.
Also i remember a couple of Jabiru's built at the Oaks airport .

WHEN !.
Will they all get onto the RAA register, we are getting closer.
Will RAA take over the ' experimental single prop ' light aircraft .

BAD WEATHER !
Throw out a alloy ' storm anchor ' .
with tail feathers it will stay nose down anchored to Terra firma .
The old dirigibles couldn,t do that as any static would & did start an uncontrollable fire .
new synthetic cables , Should be an insulator between the anchor & airship .

It's the Thrill of zero gravity . I loved it , A T C in the U K, used old barrage ballons. Took lots of lightweight cadets up,
Only to have to winch the balloon down , that was more boyent .

Many years ago ! ,
there was an auto screen tint , in a bottle , put on thick at the top & let run down , then thin lower down the screen .
No idea if U V compliant for you ,

It seems ( as a bystander ) that ALL these security I D cards should be merged into one AUSTRALIAN CARD .
I have a photo license PLUS a photo Identity card .
Why two , because Jackboot Johny said , the photo license is NOT to be use as an identity card. NOR can an ASIC card be used to go through an international airport,
OR even the boaties migration office when leaving for oversea's destinations .
spacesailor
Formation is right !
But the sound was more radial motor's , very different sound .
so ,
I'll go with ONE radial & ten modern motors .LoL
thanks
