High-def Kodachrome photos from 1942, with some really cool photos of workers at aircraft manufacturing plants during the war Onthe website the photo’s take a little while to load, so be patient http://pavel-kosenko.livejournal.com/303194.html?thread=22669914 Cheers Scotty

Watch the stick work http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f84_1330902806 Cheers Scotty

Don't know Dex but here is another one just for you grass growers. http://www.archive.org/details/Agricult1955 Cheers Scotty

Another one. This time a Ford ad with some flying at the end. http://www.archive.org/details/Terrapla1932 Cheers Scotty

Found some old fottage and thought you might enjoy it. http://www.archive.org/details/Helicopt1953 Cheers Scotty

I don't believe this is a big cost if you take it over the life of the hose which I think is 5 years. I am a firm believer of doing it by the book. After all people like Rotax have a lot more experience than me with their engines. I have only had 2 of their engines, how many have they had experience with? Cheers Scotty

Maybe this site could help http://www.catalinaflying.org.au/ Here are some pics at Kempsy when they brought PBY back to Australia[ATTACH=full]925[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]926[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]927[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]928[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]929[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]930[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]931[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]932[/ATTACH] Pics arn't great but the people at the web site might be able to help Cheers Scotty [ATTACH]18076[/ATTACH]

Santa Claus, like all pilots, gets a biennial checkride from the Federal Aviation Administration, and it was shortly before last Christmas when the FAA examiner arrived. In preparation, Santa had the elves wash the sled and bathe all the reindeer. Santa got his logbook out and made sure all his paperwork was in order. The examiner arrived and walked slowly around the sled. He checked the reindeer harnesses, the runners (landing gear), and Rudolf's nose. He painstakingly reviewed Santa's weight and balance calculations for the sled's enormous payload. Finally, they were ready for the checkride. Santa got in and fastened his seatbelt and shoulder harness and checked the compass. Then the examiner hopped in carrying, to Santa's surprise, a shotgun. "What's that for?" asked Santa incredulously. The examiner winked and said, "I'm not supposed to tell you this, but you're gonna lose an engine on takeoff."

This property is protected 3 days a week by a shotgun.......you guess which 3.......Oh and let everyone know you have a bachhoe to bury the bodies of those that didn't guess right. Told you I'm an upriver boy Turbo and David The property insurance might not be adequate but it did not stop a rise of 23% this year. As far as my strip goes only a very sellected few get an invite. Cheers Scotty

Not sure about South Africa Spin. from what I'm told after 1 season training they are ready for the scrap heap. Plane and engine. I know of one school that is looking at others to replace the Jabs as they are not lasting

Turbo Been thinking about your ideas about Crosses on the runway etc. I believe any pilot overflying Dex or my strip should be able to determain they are not ALA's or public strips from their locations and the obstructions such as trees and powerlines so therefor must be private or at least on private property. So therefor permission would be needed to "enter". I believe you are expected to allow safe entry to your front door from the street or road so you can then tell them to pi## off, but past that point? Landing in a back paddock? I don't think I would be keen to put crosses on the strip as that could make it look more than it is, a mowed paddock. And besides, mine is suitable for STOL opps only, no matter what some hero types have said like "I could land there" in planes they need to read POH a bit more. [ATTACH=full]911[/ATTACH] Cheers Scotty

Dex If it is the standard setup for Rotax there are only 2 EGT senders. One for right bank and one for left bank. If that is so it could still be in one carby as each bank is feed with a different carby. Have seen something similar on a 914 and it turned out to be a problem with a float chamber venting tube. I would also check the rubber carby sockets for cracking. Let us know how you go. Cheers Scotty

Dex I have a "paddock" at my place I use. Just because it is mowed and has a wind sock means naught. Invitation only. The extract below clearly states that the rules some are quoteing are in fact not rules but only guidlines and "in most cases" a pilot that "(a) has sound piloting skills; and (b) displays sound airmanship." can take off or land safely. Here is the link: http://www.casa.gov.au/download/caaps/ops/92_1.pdf These guidelines set out factors that may be used to determine the suitability of a place for the landing and taking-off of aeroplanes. Experience has shown that, in most cases, application of these guidelines will enable a take-off or landing to be completed safely, provided that the pilot in command: (a) has sound piloting skills; and (b) displays sound airmanship. Cheers Scotty

Chalk and cheese in all ways is all I'll say Cheers Scotty

Thats the way I was taught in the trike. Latter on in training in 3axis the FI turned the noise off on engine out training and all was good, I didn't panic and went straight back to the glide approach. That works for me. My trike instructor explained to me the same thoughts as Wayne. Cheers Scotty

Hope yours are not on the list and yes David it is good to see a bit of support from at least one mob. Cheers Scotty

Greetings all, As some of you may be aware, Rotax have yesterday released an Alert service bulletin in regards to a possible crack that could occur on some 912-914 series crankshafts. The engine serial numbers affected are listed in the Rotax service bulletin, however for some reason the EASA AD lists ALL 912 and 914 engines as being affected, this is not the case. For ease of looking, I have attached to this e mail an Excel file which lists ALL the engines affected by there serial number and also the official Rotax alert service bulletin. No engines sold by Bert Flood Imports are affected, however there may be some factory built aircraft, or engines supplied with overseas kits imported into Australia that may be affected, so I suggest that people check there engine serial number with the list attached. ALL the engines affected were built at Rotax during the period of October / November 2010 We are aware of only 3 engines in our distribution area that are in fact affected by this service bulletin, and I will be contacting these people directly. If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Best Regards Wal Bert Flood Imports Pty Ltd 17 – 18 Chris Drive Lilydale Victoria 3140 Australia Ph +61 3 9735 5655 Fax +61 3 9735 5699 Email [email protected] I got this the other day, but still check I think Cheers scotty

Gee, it sounds like I had a good weekend????? Cheers Scotty

Their quight now arn't they Dex

Dex of Denman announess the start of the Destiny of Flight Museum......

Well folks I went to the Glouscester Fly-in on the weekend and meet some old friends and made some new ones too. But i did meet 2 nameless fellow forumites there as well. They remain nameless (unless they want to repent their sins) as I went as a shy, reserved bashfull type of a young fellow and I came home a bent and twisted old dv8. I have been corrupted by these 2 and now I feel abused and violated. They no doubt they will tell another story, all of which are lies. I am not like that, I did not say that and I deffinately did not do that, but if I did remember I was corrupted by those 2. They have a lot to answer for. I think I had a good time but can't remember taking any photos but I do remember one of those nasty old men taking some shots(another story) so maybe there are some photos around. Thankfully I was not PIC and could have a little sleep on the way home. Speaking of that , I think I'll go and have a little lay down now. Cheers Scotty

Do you want me to sing it to you. :D
