    Looks like their starting bid for everything is $1000, including the "baggage trailer with accessories" which has bugger-all use for anything else.

    As a nature reserve, the best you can hope for is to find a tight seal.

    Is Bronnie Bishop still around? Maybe she ordered it to get to the bingo.

    Looks like it's a nature reserve. So the quarantine stations will be 2x 3m tinnies powered by Evinrude 3.5hp motors, parked either end. (Example on 1 end crudely drawn in).

    Just joking Nev. Of course we couldn't go it alone. We could become New Zealand's westernmost island though.

    Big enough to place passport control, when we secede...

    If they put a jet engine in it and called it a Vampire, it would have worked a lot better...

    Well there you go - I never knew we had a land border!

    What's the first B stand for? (No, not Boeing, the other BJ)

    Looks like it's only about 40km from the Vic coast. Not much on the island, but looks reasonably flat in parts. They did well getting it down safely then continuing.

    Not I Nev. Having said that they do look like a lot of fun. Hang gliding without having to lump the bugger to the top of a hill then drive home 5 minutes later.
  12. Marty_d
    That looks like way too much fun to be legal.
  13. Marty_d
    $15K. Still a good buy (if they accept the bid).
  14. Marty_d
    That might be a good buy for someone. Current bid $6,100, engine alone would be worth more than that if it's in good running condition.

    Every mobile phone has an alarm / timer on it.

    Look, I'm all for jet packs. But horses for courses. A $1,000 drone will be more helpful for SAR. (The search bit, anyway.) at 1,000 hp the range of this thing would be pathetic. If you want to board a ship then the RHIB's with some sort of compressed air grappling hook would be almost as fast and a lot stealthier.

    Why does the phrase "sitting duck" come to mind??

    Vision was apparently not a requirement??

    Might have decided 4 seats were more useful.
  20. Marty_d
    The question is... is it well hung? (You knew someone would go there.)

    Something's wrong there. It's definitely not a Cruzer because the tail surfaces are all wrong for that. Plus the VH register shows it as being 700kg MTOW where the Cruzer is 599kg. CH-801 - note the tail surfaces and windows aft of the door 750 Cruzer - standard fin and rudder, symetrical HS, curved rear window Crashed a/c -same flying rudder, inverted airfoil HS and double rectangular windows as the 801

    Well, the 4 foot high club, anyway. Probably very briefly, given the huge cantilever. Not sure shagging is allowed in the top front bunk.

    The perfect gift for someone who loves helicopters, pallets, sharing a room with others, and bad taste.
  24. Marty_d
    I think it's a Zenith rather than a Sav, because it's got the "inverted airfoil" HS, and the all-flying rudder. Actually looking at the shape of the windows aft of the door, and the fact that it's VH registered, I reckon it might be a CH-801 (4 seat model).

    We should be able to walk and chew gum at the same time. If not why not.
