    And do it at night ! . No lights , so just another " fruit bat " . There was many illegal flights from Asia to Byron Bay ( before it got a name ) . Full of drugs of course. spacesailor PS. : even had their own bank ' Nugen-Hand bank of Australia ' .

    But!, It's NOT ' for hire or reward ' merely personal use " training '. It's the opposite of " hire & reward ' . spacesailor

    We, ( instructor & I ) only used Mittaggong as a way point. . After 30 hours , we expanded our ' circuit ' a little larger . LoL spacesailor

    BUT . I've had lots of problems with shoddy professionals, just out to make money. Like paying for a full " preholiday " service only to have a breakdown, with replacement parts not being replaced . Plus oil & filter not changed . I joined a 4wd club . Who had also decided to do their own maintenance. Not happy with their ' professional service' spacesailor

    i only want/need to fly " circuits " . Then take my next flying holiday to a new airstrip to fly more " circuits " . I mean it's great to fly the Oaks to Mittaggong / coalcliff & back home to the Oaks . 30 hours training in the A22 Foxbat . Worth every cent . spacesailor

    I agree with , jackc . Is there another closer country to fly ' FAR part 103 ' in , than the USofA . There's lots of pacific islands to choose from , should make a ' new adventure theme ' . spacesailor

    ' Inspections ' Can an unregistered aircraft be flown to the inspection airport for the inspection ! . OR , do you have to disassemble the plane , to road transport it . Then of course it will never get a pass , unless it is reassembled. spacesailor

    It's not illegal to use the old CB communications set . I still use one , And for out boating member. The " long-range " radio - net is still working . I have my licence but am I allowed to transmit from a shore station , Orr do I have to gain the amateur license. I can listen in with my " Yaesu " short wave set . spacesailor

    What is " G100 " I understand " UL " but , nowhere can I find ' mogas 100 UL fuel '. I like others have to use ' AVgas 100 LL ' or 98 super petrol ( mogas ) . spacesailor PS. : any fuel spilt onto " composite " aircraft , would be a worry . Keep it in the fuel tank .

    On take off , the cockpit canopy, looks higher than the tip of the rudder . At 61 mpg , (98klm on 4.litre ) . On two cylinders . spacesailor
  19. spacesailor
    I believe the ' Hummel bird' rudder is too short ( in hight . when in climb it could be blanketed by the canopy. spacesailor

    Gallons US = 4 litres SO , about , very roughly 4,000grams ./ 4 kgrms per gallon. spacesailor

    Going on cost . Thr lightest " carbon fibre . dearest . RFG . Second dearest . Alloy , is not home made . Steel , very few " blacksmiths " left to make a good prop . Wood , even little boy's carve it, cheap enough to hang the dud-ones on the wall . And to make a spare or two . spacesailor PS. : I would like a " Duralumin " ( German 1909 patent ) propeller.
  24. spacesailor
    Come on ! . A little prop . It's epoxy , no glass . spacesailor
