  1. Tell me about it. The UK branch even has a climate change desk!
  2. Yep..no one invests in airlines now. I certainly don't. I don't know what can be done about it. I just know I don't want my money tied up in them while they figure it out...
  3. On a serious note, quite often the best CEO for the job is not necessarily experienced in the Nitty gritty of that company. That's what the people under them are for. Their best attribute is to make the hard decisions, find new directions or acquisitions. Sometimes making workers redundant. If they can do all that for Qantas, it wouldn't matter if they'd never set foot inside a plane, let alone fly one. Richard Branson was a good example. He started a record label, video games label, airline. He didn't have experience in those things. He surrounded himself with people who did.

  5. https://www.dividenddates.com.au/hvn-dividend-history/ You guys are like dogs seeing squirrels, seriously! Pretend I didn't say Gerry Harvey. Who is a CEO you admire? Pretend that person once said: If you think you are worth more, buy shares in the company you represent.
  6. Me either. My point still stands. If you think you're worth a lot, buy shares in the company you represent.
  7. Maybe that is a discussion for a different thread...
  8. Gerry Harvey used to say no one is worth more than 500k a year (a while ago, so say 2 million now). He said if you think you are worth more, buy shares in the company.
  9. Sounds familiar 🤔 Make it 8 engines and you've got a deal!
  10. Or build a six engined plane...
  11. im confused now, did you want an oil cooler or a water radiator?
  12. Yeah, it doesn't matter how legit looking the site is, if the price less than half normal price you know something's fishy 🐟
  13. Couldn't find one in Australia for prices but here is a us dealer. No idea about this company but it lists the specs https://www.improvedracing.com/setrab-25-row-series-9-oil-cooler.html
  14. Just in case you need another and this one is the right size, this is for the Bushcat
  15. Oh, I was thinking you meant the wires go into the plug in different spots! Looking pretty good, just check it's for the same amperage alternator I guess. Looks like a few of us are having luck tracking down the exact same peripheral part that the engine maker uses. Same quality cos it's the same part, but at automotive prices instead of aircraft prices 🙂
  16. So it seems to me, and you can verify it against where the wires go from there that you have blue wires are rectifier, black and red are positive and negative and yellow and green, one will probably be warning light and maybe the other is ignition. But what would be interesting is to see that same angle on the regulator you are interested in. If the wire colours go in the same place that those do, it's almost 100 per cent going to be the same. If they don't, that doesn't mean all is lost, but would need further investigation.
  17. I guess the other thing to look at is if you can get another pic from the wire side. If all the different coloured wires all come out at the same spots then it's likely Jabiru just changed where they go on the plug. The two light blue wires look bigger. That is probably the rectifier
  18. If it's a regulator/rectifier then you may be able to test which wires are the diodes to narrow it down. Some multimeters have a diode tester
  19. It goes without saying...
  20. Definitely just go to an auto sparky with it. I've been out of the loop for a while but that is either a Denso or Hitachi automotive alternator. A good sized workshop will have some junk ones (always good to keep for bits and pieces like those bolts and various insulators). They'll sort you out with exactly the same parts.
  21. This is called an 'argument by selected instance'. Maybe Unilever had this one problem (do you have a source) but in general they seem to be doing exceptionally well with all their automated processes. Also, one could say that shouldn't all that automation bring the cost down of a Rotax? But better to ask what it would have cost without automation? I suspect substantially more.
  22. I would hope for safeties sake that when it's written off by the assessor, that it is immediately destroyed.
  23. Pretty sure it's only value now would be for scrap. Imagine how much time and effort it would take to fix this rather common plane. Insurance certainly wouldn't wear it...
  24. Great airmanship. I hope I can do as well if the time comes. And congratulations on channel for not calling it a crash landing.
