    When I filled those tanks, for the Fiji trip, the wife kept telling me " it,s too dear ". Dear !. But l knew the more l pumped the lower the cents per litre." Made sence to me ", started at $ 1.45. & Ended up after 700 litres, at wholesale price, so the remainder was a free bonus of fuel. spacesailor

Then, tail heavy when slowing for finals, with a flare at the end, With that heavy tail , !! " stall, stall , stall. ). I can hear those auto messages that airliners use. spacesailor

    There,s another lot in the Navajo desert, BUT Of course they Are the big ones, even a New plane from the eastern countris with 40 something hours on th the clock !. https://www.google.com/search?q=commercial+airplane+graveyard&tbm=isch&client=tablet-android-telstra-au&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiV0KWC7Y75AhXSR2wGHd8AC7UQtI8BKAB6BAgBEGw&biw=1280&bih=800&dpr=1# spacesailor

    I,m doin a quick calculation on the weight of the HummelBird power plant, fuel. 55 / 60 kgm, out , ( excluding propeller ( includes fuel )). SO How heavey would a 24V 95 N M, 3500 rpm ( 3 phase ), motor weigh . Then comes THAT Big hit BATTERIES, weight . It all is so complicated with three different measurements . Motor 85 lb, 40 hp, 51/4 GALLONS US FUEL . spacesailor

    I plead guilty !. I did ask, then put my grandson into an aircraft. He ( grandson ) looked like he knew how to fly. & didn,t touch any switches. BUT My grand nephew ( l think ) wound the ' preasure setting knob ' around, now the altimeter needs repair or replacement . ( in my none flying HummelBird ). How to gain access to the fingers ?. To check if its the hands loose or inside broken. ( NO Not his, the altimeter ) LoL spacesailor

    Someone bought at auction, a ' powered glider ' ( same time as roulettes auction ). Very quick conversion l should think . if a pilot trains in an electric plane, they would Miss that ' kick in the pants ' thats missing in IC aircraft. Except for " Merlin powered Spitfires ". ( they say " opening the throttle to quick will flip the plane ). spacesailor

    Put that electricity into a purpose built airframe, and you coud/would double that one hour battery life. spacesailor
  15. spacesailor
    Thats a lot of " avgas " , ( 188 kg batteries ) Will they Ever get to the IC engine efficiency. One hours flight was GOOD for the " Wright brothers " but now we all want , MORE spacesailor
  16. spacesailor
    BUT would it have become an ' emergency ' if that PIC had followed hIs ATC ' ORDER ' ?.
  17. spacesailor
    A MONOCLE or A pair of ( glasses ). Could be a problem for those with ' foresight '. spacesailor
  18. spacesailor
    Ho !, for a little " Hummel Bird " can be parked under a VH plane wing. LoL spacesailor

    Try " Hirth Engines ", spacesailor

    At the Oaks we had the ' police helicopter ' practicing takeoff / landing, on the adjacent old runway. We never though about the rotor-wash affecting us, as it,s just like the cross wind coming between the hangers. would that have been good for ' crosswind ' training? . spacesailor

    If Only Raa whent back to those ever so humble beginnings. The ' shrinking airPorts 'wouldn,t be a problem. SO The Raa problem is trying to be a cheap VH Members club. How many ' rag&tube ' flyers need an " Airport ". spacesailor

    Also those little rubber caps on the side of the carbie . spacesailor

    I have a nagging thought !, That At max power/climbout the airflow over That cowling would be at MAXIMUM velocity! . Due to you propelling the air to the Rear of your aircraft, by that propeller. UNLESS your using a " ducted fan " propulsion system. spacesailor
  24. spacesailor
    Why have " Seating ", Stack em in like " sardines " ,semi reclined & or Horizontal. spacesailor
