    Hi Sydney.

    DU, sarcasm

    How much for one? Wait, what?

    I hit a car up the rear in Canberra. It was at a T junction with lights, and we were on the side road. It's an odd T junction in that when you were stopped on the side road wanting to turn right, the far lane on the main road to your left stopped almost straight ahead of you, eg; it intruded into the intersection. There were numbers of accidents and complaints there because as you took off, the cars stopping on your left, well they were coming very much into your space and you kept your eyes glued on them and if the car in front of you slowed or stopped, they were often hit. The car in front of me actually stalled halfway round just as I looked left at a car stopping, and I argued it was unroadworthy, and I won.

    I for one am impressed he got his wares on National prime TV, quite a feat and presumably a relative/mate or better still, someone high up in Channel 7 is an aviator.

    It's not exactly unnoticed in Australia that ANZACS were sent in before the Brit Soldiers ...

    I have done nothing but study build techniques, processes, methods and systems to build planes for the last 5 or so years via hundreds of build blogs and have determined most of Rutan'ish planes come out the worst for build time. 3000 plus hours is rather common. Don't get me wrong, was just a bit of tongue in cheek, I love 'em and you got a beauty there! Nah, nothing special here, we're typically clueless when it comes to most things.

    Know nothing about Rans really, but I have looked over numbers of them over the years and don't understand why they don't get more recognition. They are as well made as anything else out there relative to their market class.

    It is almost inconceivable to me that they can send out a radio signal to operate a rocket booster for milliseconds through space millions of miles away through radiation, radio waves, asteroid belts and other elements. Apparently it's real, but the variables must be almost incalculable. Did you just type that with a Datahand Professional 11 $800 keyboard, or a universal $20 one? How long would a manufacturer last if they didn't make what the public purchases. The garbage exists because people have spoken with their cash.

    Hi Gene, welcome. Pictures of your Varilongtimetobuild please?

    Absolutely true Nev, but some people also enjoy the build itself.

    ... anybody, and now they get reprisal attacks that they call terrorist attacks.

    I try to avoid Red Bull videos, big on everything to do with the stunt but not the actual stunt, and the short attention syndrome camera shots from every angle but seeing what's happening give me headaches.

    I live here, I know how where the bad service comes from and I have worked with hi tech people, I have no problems there. And once again, a reminder that 5000 airliners are in the sky at any one time from all countries and airlines, they ain't dropping out of the sky, especially A330s, mind you I would rather walk than catch a plane with an African airlines. I am concerned of that point, I am due to be in Africa and travel internally in 2019. Obviously less than $790!

    That's awesome, almost worth the one minute wait ...

    I have gone back to Qantas, much improved except the older female stewardesses are still b1tches. The stewards are great to make up for it though. Oddly they are now one of the cheapest carriers. Upon saying that, I did just do a trip with Hainan Airlines, because it was a stupidily cheap price (and an A330) and I couldn't not take it ($550 Vs the next best at $790), but the service was just bad, not rude or anything, just unorganised and inexperienced, or bad training. Oddly with Hainan being Chinese (which is ok for me because I speak Chinese) they had more leg room, and I confirmed that, 81cm Vs 79cm for Qantas.

    Well that's just not true, besides the Suzuki has well proven itself and Aeromomentum just changed one out of a commercial airboat at 4000 hrs. The Rotax 912 runs at 5000+ rpm plus and it's piston speed is not much different than a Lycoming 0-360 at 2700 rpm.

    It's the Rutan Grizzly, what other plane ever had 4 flaps ... I love canards, but this was a pathetic waste of breath outside of their typical mission.

    No. Go read post 4, then post 26. Although I can see how it would affect yourself harking back to Roman days

    Progressive Aerodyne Searey is every bit the matchup, well and truly proven with plenty out there.
  21. bexrbetter
    Very true, I knew of three, you guys now know one of them, and there's 2 more coming shortly.

    Suzy G13BB are very well known in Oz, readily available, and a few people specialise in them. They are cheap, and individual PSRUs are available from a number of sources. Raven Redrives USA Aeromomentum USA Autoflight NZ Airtrikes Canada and others, and you will find them on EBay as well. PSRU Aircraft Gear Box fits Suzuki Geo G10 G13 G15 G16 Subaru Honda and others | eBay

    Who in their right mind has allowed them to once again grow to these numbers and have no fear of humans. Prob someone safe in an office in Canberra who's visited the area once and is now an expert.

    won't steal my barramundi again.....

    There's quite a good movement of historic WW1'ish craft in Europe these days, especially France. You could contact member Flyerme who flies his Nieuport many days per week. flyerme WARNING: Hideous images.
