Lonely , at the moment

My bad. Seriously though the way your talking I'm afraid the Sierra is going to pop up on a porn site. I don't go to those though........

My question.... Is there anywhere on the web you can go where A Jessup hasn't been before you? He's here http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Airborne-XT912-Trike-4-stroke-rotax-with-balistic-parachute-microlight-/25118156364q And here http://southernmicrolightclub.com.au/southern_microlight_club_015.htm and here http://www.recreationalflying.com/threads/xt-912-sst-for-sale.50668/ And of course right here lol

Your kidding......right?

N nope got nuthin

A couple of ways it could be achieved 1) A peice of stiff cardboard or plastic 15 to 20mm wide is sewn to the fabric, it is turned under and slots into a groove. This relies on either shrinking the fabric (that would be my guess) or being able to tension the fabric some other way after fitting. This method can be found on late model car seats, holding the covers in place . The foam provides the tension to hold the strip in the slot. 2) A piece of rope or plastic cord is sewn into a pocket in the fabric then slipped into a c section similar to a caravan annex Regards Bill

Oh wait, this isn't a brag thread is it............

He probably saw the piano keys near the bus shelter and thought it was a runway....

Hi Bruce, The smaller the wing the better in will be in rough conditions, but the more room you will need to get off the ground. With regard to your 150 meter strip, it is probably enough for an experienced pilot with a stol trike, but my concern is, do you have somewhere to go in the event of efato, and do you have room for a go around. If not, go to somewhere where you do. Regards Bill

Any chance you could post a pic?

Good work, stick with it.

If you happen to be passing through Bruthen Vic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jet-Crash-Remains,-Bruthen,-Vic.jpg. Sorry that's all I got. Regards Bill No wait! If you come to my place I could show you around my hangar and my trike ;-)

It also allows time to stop whatever else you are doing and start consentrating on what is being broadcast, especially if you are talking to your pax

Compulsion, It's great to hear that you flew for 2hrs expecting an engine out the whole time. That should mean you had a plan in place for the event at all times should it happen. It doesn't matter what you fly, you should be almost expecting it, that way you won't be surprised or panicked. An engine failure should not be a death sentence! Regards Bill

It's often worth having a look at who made the part. I needed a air con fan for a Deutz tractor, the dealer wanted $1200 and couldn't supply for 2 months. I had a look at the fan it was made by Spal Italy, sent them an email , they had a dealer in Cambelfield, $128 on my credit card and it was in my mailbox the next day!

Hey Chucky, did you hear the one about the Teddy Bear............ One evening, a gentleman checked into a hotel. He had been travelling for days, and was tired. After filling out the registration forms, he was handed the key to a room on the 21st floor, which happened to be the only availble room. As the gentleman (let's call him Fred), as Fred was about to retire to his room, the desk clerk said "Sir, I feel I must mention something about your room. Inside, you will find a teddy bear. Please, I beg you don't touch this teddy bear." Fred turns away, and heads toward the elevator. "Oh, and the elevator isn't working," he hears the clerk say. The clerk then turns back to his work. Fred, resigned to his fate, heads towards the stairwell. With his suitcase, he begins to climb - up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, and then suddenly at the seventh floor the stairs stop. In front of him is a forest, with lush, thick undergrowth that he can't walk through. Confused, Fred turns around and begins to walk down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, and back to the reception desk. To the desk clerk, Fred says "I was walking up to my room, but at the seventh floor I can't walk any further. Is there another way to my room?" "No, sir," says the desk clerk, "All you have to do is press the green button on the right. And don't touch the teddy bear." He then goes back to his work. So once again, Fred begins the long walk up to his room. Up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, and then at the seventh floor, Fred presses the green button on the right. Out of nowhere, a set of monkey bars appear for him to cross the forest, with a hook for his suitcase. And so Fred begins to clamber his way across the forest. At the other side the stairs begin again. Up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, and then, at the fourteenth floor, there is a giant lake. Fred, not willing to walk down the stairs, looks for a green button on the right. There isn't one. So with a sigh, Fred turns around and begins to walk down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner back to the forest, where he presses the green button on the right, swings across the forest and then once again heads down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner to the reception desk. "Excuse me, again," says Fred to the desk clerk. "I've made it past the forest, but on the fourteenth floor there is a lake. I looked for the green button on the right, but it wasn't there. What do I do?" The desk clerk looks up, and gives Fred a smile reserved for those customers who are beginning to try his patience, and says "Press the blue button on the left sir. And don't touch the teddy bear." and goes back to work. Once again, with suitcase in hand, Fred goes up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, and then at the seventh floor, Fred presses the green button on the right, swings across the forest and then up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner to the fourteenth floor. Fred presses the blue button on the left, and a row boat appears. So Fred rows across the lake, with Row, Row your boat playing on musak. On the other side the stairs continue, so Fred walks up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner, up the stairs, and around the corner and then he is at the twenty-first floor, and his room. Tired to the point of exhaustion, he drops his suitcase and lies down on the bed. After a brief nap, Fred wakes up and decided to watch some TV. Looking around he spies the remote sitting under a big, brown, fluffy teddy bear. Not remembering the clerk's warnings, Fred picks up the bear, takes the remote control and starts to flick through the channels. Just settling in, Fred notices some movement in the corner of the room where the teddy bear is. He wasn't too concerned at first, figuring it's because of the light from the television. Then he heard the growling. The teddy bear was waking up. The bear looks around the room and spies Fred, sitting in an armchair in front of the television. With a menacing look (can teddy bears have menacing looks?) the bear begins to approach Fred. Having seen enough B-grade horror movies, Fred realises that this is not good, and moves away from the teddy bear. All of a sudden, the bear goes wild. It starts tearing down wallpaper, destroying furniture, throwing chairs through windows. Fred decides rather quickly, that he doesn't want to stick around for any encore performances that this bear may do, runs for the door. The bear follows. Not even willing to bother with the elevator, Fred heads towards the stairwell and begins the journey down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, to the lake. He presses the blue button on the left, gets in the boat and rows to the other side (row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream), gets out and goes down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, to the forest, where he pressed the green button on the right and climbs across the forest on the monkey bars. He then goes down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, down the stairs, and around the corner, to the reception area. All the time he can hear the teddy bear right behind him. Fred isn't sure what this bear will do, so he runs outside, and right behind him is the teddy bear, going wild - tearing up furnishings, knocking over other customers, in it's crazed state and haste to get to Fred. Fred knows that his car has been parked, and not wanting to wait for the valet, jumps into a cab that was about to drive away. He yells at the driver to get him as far away as he can in the quickest amount of time possible, but it was too late. The teddy bear jumps onto the taxi, and literally pulls the roof off. The bear ignores the driver, and turns to Fred who is cowering in the back seat. Slowly, the teddy bear extends his paw towards Fred, who tries to shrink lower into the seat, away from the crazed stuffed toy. The paw comes closer, Fred tries harder to pull away. The paw still comes closer, and closer, and closer. Fred can't move any further away, so he just awaits what he is sure to be his doom. The paw touches his shoulder, and Fred, cowering in the back seat of a taxi hears a voice. The voice of the teddy bear. It says.... ..."You're it."

Worth a look I thought Regards Bill

Apparently I may have offended some of the Jabiru fraternity, that was not my intention. I copied from the Yahoo 7 site, none of it are my own words except the thread title. Regards Bill

A pilot has walked away from an ultra-light plane crash near Bairnsdale in eastern Victoria, escaping just before the plane burst into flames. Police say the single seater home-made aircraft, called a Jabiru, was flying low over farmland when it lost power about 1.00pm. The pilot realised he was not going to make it over some nearby powerlines, so he tried to fly under them. The plane got caught on an optical cable, causing it to crash. The pilot managed to escape the wreckage with only a scratch on his arm.

A DAMN FINE EXPLANATION The wife came home early and found her husband in their bedroom making love to a very attractive young woman. And she was upset. 'You are a disrespectful pig!' she cried. 'How dare you do this to me -- a faithful wife, the mother of your children! I'm leaving you. I want a divorce right away!' And the husband replied, 'Hang on just a minute love, so at least I can tell you what happened.' 'Go ahead,' she sobbed,' but they'll be the last words you'll say to me!' And the husband began -- 'Well, I was getting into the car to drive home, and this young lady here asked me for a lift. She looked so down and out and defenseless that I took pity on her and let her into the car.. I noticed that she was very thin, not well dressed and very dirty. She told me that she hadn't eaten for three days. So, in my compassion, I brought her home and warmed up the enchiladas I made for you last night, the ones you wouldn't eat because you're afraid you'll put on weight. The poor thing devoured them in moments. Since she needed a good clean-up, I suggested a shower, and while she was doing that, I noticed her clothes were dirty and full of holes, so I threw them away. Then, as she needed clothes, I gave her the designer jeans that you have had for a few years, but don't wear because you say they are too tight. I also gave her the underwear that was your anniversary present, which you don't wear because I don't have good taste. I found the sexy blouse my sister gave you for Christmas that you don't wear just to annoy her, and I also donated those boots you bought at the expensive boutique and don't wear because someone at work has a pair the same.' The husband took a quick breath and continued - 'She was so grateful for my understanding and help that as I walked her to the door, she turned to me with tears in her eyes and said, 'Please ... Do you have anything else that your wife doesn't use?

Melbourne Zoo had acquired a female of a very rare species of gorilla. Within a few weeks, the gorilla became very cantankerous and difficult to handle. Upon examination, the Zoo veterinarian determined the problem. The Gorilla was on heat... To make matters worse, there were no male gorillas of the species available. While reflecting on their problem, the Zoo management noticed Graham, a big Kiwi lad & former All Black, responsible for fixing the Zoo's machinery. Graham, like most Kiwis, seemed to be possessed with ample ability to satisfy a female of any species.. So the Zoo administrators thought they might have a solution. Graham was approached with a proposition. Would he be willing to have Sex with the gorilla for $500? Graham showed some interest, but said he would have to think the matter over carefully. The following day, Graham announced that he would accept their offer, but only under three conditions: 'Fust,' he said, 'I don't want to have to kuss'er.' 'Sicondly, you must niver niver tull anyone about thus.' The Zoo administration quickly agreed to these conditions, so they asked what his third condition was. 'Wull,' said Graham, 'You gotta give me another week to come up with the $500.

Video editing is something I am struggling with ATM. I have bought a drift hd but don't have enough experienced with it yet except to say that it uses mov. This is the source of my frustration. I have only taken a couple of short clips to play with and started using windows movie maker on my lap top. Movie maker can't deal with mov oh well I'll convert to something else, lap top is too old and slow for that. I read that mov is best used on apple stuff, and imovie is simple to use,so with the idea that I can put ozrunways on it as well I have lashed out on an iPad, guess what, I can watch the clips on the pad but iMovie or any other editing app can't see it unless I convert to some other bs format.hmph. What I'm thinking now is I should have not spent all that money on the drift and just got about 3 second hand cameras off eBay. That would have the advantage of several perspectives as Scott mentioned also I could have stuck with moviemaker. The other thing is you wouldn't get the massive fisheye effect you have with pov's. The go pro seems particularly bad. I want a video to reproduce what I see not a distorted view. Regards bill

Come now 80, just be careful what you say there, you don't want to go and open the reality check curtain, you may frighten these poor souls living in their Utopic world. Regards Bill

Anythings possible with a jar of Vaseline ;-)
