    a few years ago in melbourne finishing a job and needed a welder in a hurry (had six in workshop back in brissie) i got one from bunnings ,absolute rubbish would overheat after a small run ie 50mm and would not run anything bigger than a 2mm. rod. long leads too short for doing high work and if you lengthened them would have dropped the amps down . inverter is the only way to go

    on the question of bringing huge amounts of food in baggage ,why are these people so dumb,saying no i don,t have any food and produce cases full of it ,and it seems to be only middle eastern and asian people doing it, they need to be slapped with thousands of dollar fines and if only visiting cancel their visas , we are an island and cannot allow infestation of diseases from other countries that would decimate our already fragile rural industries

    I often seek advice from people who know more about certain parts/aero that i have no knowledge of fabricating parts is not a problem but sizing and application in certain areas can be head scratching for me as you say maybe a dedicated forum on building would be beneficial

    I'm building again scratch built and making all the parts myself the journey is part of the enjoyment

    I dont think there are too many instructor cowboys out there but personalities can make it difficult for the student, just need to find the right one for you

    driving a heavy vehicle has no bearing on flying light aircraft, most flights are 1 to 2 hrs at most, trucks drivers 4 hr stints at night get white line fever, very boring , for me flying keeps me on my toes, always something to do or see especially on the east coast, a blanket approach is not what is needed, other countries do the self medical with out any increase in death or injury, and as most of us older guys/girls fly we tend to be more cautious,

    the most i have ever paid in landing fees is 10$ it is a user pay system in the real world, and most airports dont charge ie Bunderberg, Hervey bay,Caloundra , caboolture, Ballina cheap for overnite and for the security in some airfields
