    We " East Coasters " have that same problem with " sharks " . We stopped eating them !. Now they are eating us . spacesailor

    " no adjustments " . To ' adjust ' a wooden prop . You simply , remove a tiny piece of ' leading ' edge ' to increase pitch . Or remove a tiny piece of ' trailing edge to decrease pitch . try that on any composite prop that is fixed pitch . And there was/is " ground adjustable " wooden props ! . That are a fraction of the weight and cost of ' plastic fantastic props . spacesaiilor PS. : my aircraft was registered as ' fitted with a home-made wooden prop ' . So any wooden prop could be fitted . but a composite prop couldn't. Without a " maruup " as stated previously. The weight difference would is huge .

    You can't ' buy ' cheaper , or made with dedication. Than your own work . Expensive glue , & 3 very cheap ( by comparison ) planks of wood . Glued together. Then your hard work to make a $ 50 , wonder propeller. Even the " lofting " is simple . spacesailor

    Stainless insert for that leading edge. It's all possible when DIY . PYLON500 Made a composite prop , vacuum bagged , but " never again " said he . spacesailor

    Unless they're sheaved in FRP ! . Then it's waterproofed. spacesailor

    When ! . Your ' home chopped prop ' is as good as you can make it , cover it in lightweight glass and epoxy to get a super prop Finnish. spacesailor

    It is keeping lots of Bureaucrats in their highly paid employment. Finding ways to keep their wheels rolling. spacesailor

    My Aldi sim , Motorola had no problems on the Nullarbor hwy . quite pleased with present frothed daughter. spacesailor

    How different is the UK system. From " part 103 " . spacesailor
  10. spacesailor
    There you go !. HUMMEL ULTRACRUISER IS 103 LEGAL . The bird need only a few kilos removed to be there too . But loses a lot of it's 6g'6g strength, no canopy & tail-wheel only . spacesailor

    Invert your" continental motor " adjust CofG , add tail rotor . and pray . You are better than a Ugandan. LoL spacesailor

    The ' original ' Delica scat holds a lot of turbo oil . When it has it's annual clean-cut . I have to stand it on end .to drain the oil out , as it just pools when horizontal. spacesailor
  13. spacesailor
    Hummel-Bird squeezes in . Just not it's " wing loading " . But Those Bureaucrats can fix it ! spacesailor
  14. spacesailor
    Transfer to VH Experimental ,then join SAAA . BUT WOULD it give me experience on type. ( Hummel-Bird ) .. spacesailor
  15. spacesailor
    Thanks. . I didn't know that nice smooth inside was even available. My turbo Delica has " scat ' . But , would have thought " sceet " would be better for the ' turbo/ inter-cooler/ induction ' tube . spacesailor

    I was thinking about the " Cri Cri " . With it's two motors & props , it doesn't comform to Raa rules. spacesailor
  17. spacesailor
    SSDR Sounds like it could be Useful. If only those Bureaucrats don't tinker with it . Single seat , low power , 35 kits stall !. HUMMELBIRD . How about two engines and tiny ?. spacesailor
  18. spacesailor
    No . I can do legal flying ! . As a trainee pilot . 30 something hours in my Logbook. ( foxbat-24-5356 ) But my Hummel-Bird is a different kettle of fish ! . Short coupled ( 14 ' ( 4.26 mtrs) ) . And untested . I should have bought a crashed bird from WA. OR . the one from South Grafton. Both " grandfathered " . Or as I was told , LIE . to get that grandfather clause . spacesailor
  19. spacesailor
    My registration is , 95-10-1103 Under the AUF . But denied under Raa . So no flying for me !. Untill part 103 . spacesailor

    Can we see a ( s )cat for comparison. spacesailor

    " greed is good " . Sounds like a political slogan. spacesailor

    Wishing All ! . A prosperous new year 2025 . spaesailor
  23. spacesailor
    An " air-strike " . It could have been two . One through the engine the other through the front " windscreen " ! . Again speculation. But in the realm of feasibility. spacesailor PS. : IF THE PIC WAS taken-out , the co-pilot would be in shock . A good 10 cents worth
  24. spacesailor
    Especially for aircraft without battery power . spacesailor

    AND BUREAUCRACY . Red tape should only wrap Christmas presents. spacesailor
