I have an " anr " head set , it works equally well while mowing my lawn . LoL
It reduces the exhaust noise as well as electrical , while listening to a tape or radio .

My " Fairbanks Morse " magneto specifies copper cored HT leads . I don't expect to get them from normal outlets .
Any suggestions for replacements .

There is a small ' half circle ' alloy jack , suitable for our light planes .
Jamb it under the Axel of that flat tyre, roll a little & the wheel comes up off the ground , perfect.

Use it for your plugs , then onsale it at half price to
' mates ' .
How many plugs per tube are expected to treated ,
( at a smear per plug ) .

I had better throw those very Old vintage tyres away , they must be at least 50 years in storage.
Never did buy that jalopy we saw in some movies .

Unlike me .
They all use what is specified.
Have you seen the size of those ' Old ' VW spark plugs .
I will try anything to save a " gram " or two .
Plus the " original " plugs are no longer manufactured.

I'm told " synthetic " is ' Less ' sticky than 30w grade.
As I give my motor lots of turns to raise the oil pressure
It should be good to go with lots of oil already circulating
In the cold motor .

I'm told to use " none " synthetic oil in my " old " style half Volkswagen motor . ( 30 w )
But I like the new oil that ' thicken's ' as it heats up .
( there's a name for that ) ..
20/50 w, runs like 20 when cold but is like a 50 w when hot .

Cheap " aircraft " .
My " Hummle Bird " is costing me " peanuts " partially as I haven't got a flight certificate.
Even flying at 6 litres per hour , seems ridiculous, compared to most ' light ' planes.

IS
Any of our forum members contemplating having a flutter .
Without a flying certificate, I really shouldn't put my thoughts into reality.
It does appeal to me though.

Didn't the Chinese get a ( seemingly ) cheap airport in Western Australia, for their flying school .
On that principle, Goulburn airport could be a snippet.
