    I think the unemployed, a friend of mine bought a new shotgun and has so far banked about 6k extra and spent nothing on going nowhere. I had to spend $4k with the accountant to get some business help, and I think we get taxed on the income, so less than a third of it lands in your hand to pay the things it was for. Almost like a save the African children campaign.

    Hi Jack, good quality diesel heaters like the dometic one are safe, their intake and exhaust are outside, only air over the head fins heats the van. fitted probably 100 of them now, I don’t like the gas ones by truma, exhaust and inlet are inside and prone to leaking if installed poorly. They do cut off f intake breathes fumes from exhaust inside the intake tube. Cheap Chinese copies should be avoided, they are poorly done with no safety features. One customers read 190c on the heating outlet when I tested out of curiosity last week. That will melt clothes, shoes etc, and burn you if not careful.

    It’s noticeably more taxing under The hood, I always felt exhausted after doing it. I found out my artificial horizon is a little out, if I keep level with it I end up in a slight turn which needs correction every 5 minutes.

    I find cheap LED’s in caravans lead to bad tv and radio interference which we don’t need in aeroplanes. Good ones swapped over fix the problem. Narva marine LED’s are nice and bright, and have aerodynamic shape for tip mounting, might be an optio.

    Hi SteveD, Welcome from another 182 owner, bought mine then learnt to fly it to gain my RPL for access to controlled fields and longer trips with more pax. I love getting air time in it when Wx and work permits cheers clinton

    Home | Paul Bennet Airshows | "The Complete Airshow Experience" I hope this works, I have never copied a link before. Not super savvy on computer, I learnt basic in 80's at school-no idea how code reads now. click on livestream and part with $10.00 and you get a digital pass with replay ability for a month after. cheers Clinton

    I found that on my bfr jaunt a few weeks ago I pushed the nose over instant when instructor cut power RA habit, then turned for field. Some how I find the power off landings unusually tidier than touch and go’s. Maybe because I subconsciously know I don’t have the go around to fix it. I hope if I ever need it for real that the same happens.?

    How is the build going Bex. Has lockdown stopped things in your part of the world?

    How many have seen that we have an air show this weekend, online but still going to be flying. I’m looking forward to the live version again, but will take what I can get. check out Paul Bennett Airshows for access.

    I had a short jaunt on Sunday, wind was strong here too. It does test you out, I did this one alone and felt better after the instruction a few weeks earlier.

    Leonardo summed it up best; “Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward. For there you have been, and there you will always long to return.“ if only he had an LSA. welcome back.
