  1. Damn, that's clever work 😎
  2. Interesting news concerning the airline and possible culture/lack of training issues https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/air-india-pilots-suspension-boeing-777-stall-warning-b2780259.html
  3. Nice work rotating the motor. I've built it's brother the Spitfire, so I know it has hardwood engine bearers. I presume you left those out and fitted a radial mount to the firewall?
  4. Look what I just won at the clubs annual dinner raffle ☺️ This kit is for carrier class. If you fly it in that class, it's 3 line control for throttle. Incidentally, I've found the quickest and easiest way to keep my photos upright here is to just screenshot it 😁
  5. Impressive, but the video to these old eyes is mostly looking at some lovely clouds and lots of humming ☺️
  6. I didn't randomly choose that radiator.. people much smarter than me, aeronautical engineers, chose that part number. Now I look at it, it seems bigger than the standard Rotax jobby. Considering that it's a low n slow plane from a hot country, and the particular location of the radiator, I'm guessing they crunched some numbers on a variety of options and this one did the job for a reasonable price πŸ˜‡
  7. Right now I have to put tape on it to keep the temperature up. So I guess it's not too bad at its job πŸ˜‡
  8. In the case of my Setrab, it can be used for either. No confusion from me πŸ˜‡
  9. Thats good news. That price seems quite reasonable, similar in price to Setrab. Mayb Rotax radiators are made by Setrab πŸ˜„ Ha. Setrab cost MORE! Mind you, i think its a bigger radiator. This is what goes in the Bushcat: https://www.efisolutions.com.au/setrab-proline-std-oil-fluid-cooler-series-9-405mm~143016?srsltid=AfmBOoqZPRFVrt9dpFfaFCFrdlBTnnYo5pnc6ENs5a8rG0fEtEJMOTWS
  10. For what it's worth, my Bushcat uses Setrab coolers, from Europe. I think you could probably get them from performance car shops. As far as I'm aware, there has been no issues in any Bushcat. They aren't dirt cheap, but $90 sounds TOO cheap for an aircraft. Not sure of specific prices but I bet Setrab are cheaper than something with a Rotax sticker on it 😁
  11. Gas turbines are also used in electricity generation.
  12. What ol' yam tits doesn't grasp is that corporations don't care. If it's beneficial to them, they'll develop it and sell it overseas. It doesn't HAVE to be bought by Americans...
  13. Why does this truck remind me of Moon Patrol?
  14. Seems they might be getting with the program again https://www.carsguide.com.au/car-news/new-electric-car-battery-breakthrough-and-its-not-from-china-american-carmaker-gm-forging
  15. Is this ever going to end? CURSE YOU SKIPPY!!!1! VID_20250628_100415.mp4
