    don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the clip. I just want to know what's next.

    The drifter is one of the best mustering plane with good reason. Its has great flight qualities, I would like to see some new levels reached in drifter flying.

    One thing though, Wayne Fisher was doing those moves in a drifter in the Jurassic period and then some. It would be good to see someone else pushing the envelope.

    Mercedes definatly wont certify the engine. But the good thing is, like the Mazda rotary, there are companies currently working to certify it.

    You are exactly right. There is a reason why the Diamond DA-42 comes with a diesel option. Its the intelligent choice. The best thing is, if the engines are made by factorys like Mercedes/Bosch and also used in cars, they will be alot cheaper than an engine from a traditional over priced aviation factory.

    Just speaking to my little old nana, she says "all the people caught starting fires should be burned alive" I don't belive in public execution, but I bet the people who have lost loved ones will be seeking revenge.

    I feel mixed emotions. My heart is hurting for my Australia brothers and sisters lost in these devastating fires, yet I also feel great rage hearing many of these fires were deliberatly lit. Life in prison to fire bugs. Never to be set free. With all their assets sold off and profits to the people directly effected by fire.

    Fun clip, so when is the freestyle drifter comp happening?

    If a golf ball travels up to 2.5 times farther due to the dimples, then adding dimples to the legs on my landing gear is a great idea. If it only increases the efficency by half that, then I see it as a massive gain. We all know why landing gear is retractable on most larger aircraft.

    In a basic system you have a fluid bottle, a pump, an on off switch, a spray nosil and a hose. What happens is that as the air is going into a motor a fine mist of water, methanol or a combination of both is sprayed in. What this does is cools the motor down. It also stop pre ignition. There are so many benefits of using this system.

    Ah, the pylon man himself. The Oaks boys were telling me about your project. Alot of people are interested in your progress. I have no links to Russian titanium but I'm sure one of the forum users can help. As for sites where you can get everything, I know of a great site, it for Chinese companies who want to sell stuff to the west. You can find amazing things from cell phone jamers to razor wire to hazmat gear and its all so cheap. http://www.diytrade.com

    Not to mention welding headachs, but what about laser cutting? It makes for good landing gear like on the su31.

    filters and oil, plain and simple.

    Stop trying to pretend you are a human Oz, we all know you are a robot, I heard rumors that your hydrogen fuel cell was faulty and as soon as you had it replaced you were fine.

    I have a camel pack and I find it to be very helpful. The thing about drinking water is that it flushes out the salts and minerals from your body. Plain water is actually bad for you in large doses. There are many different powdered sports drinks that will keep all your elements in check.

    I prefer the manual flaps. less to go wrong. I recon the price need to be around the 30k to 40k mark though.

    Caught out again lol, your sharp as a tack BLA. I just think its better to go for the company that builds a over a million engines a year and not one has an engine failure, than some company that makes 100 engines and then goes belly up with no parts back up. I like the sound of a low reving sooth motor, that is alot more fuel efficent than a petrol engine. Delivers twice the torque and lasts twice as long with a 3rd of the maintenance. Do you like the sound of that?

    Hey Nev, next time don't fly through a tornado lol. But seriously, lucky you came out alive.

    Subaru estimates that half of all its sales in 2010 will be diesel. Their new motor is said to be the same size as its current 2.0L motor. Subaru is part owned by Toyota and have had alot of help in the design of this motor. We all know how reliable Toyota diesel motors are, couple that with a light weight boxer engine and you get a motor i would love to have in the front of my aircraft. Now all we need to do is wait for unlucky drivers to write their cars off and buy them for the engine. No spark plugs. No ethanol problems. Runs on jet A1. Quiet and Efficent. Not a dodgy engine from a company that will go broke any time soon.

    Amazing figures, I'll stick to 10*C at 0600 with no wind and a perfect blue sky with a top temp of 20*C

    reading through some magazines I find so many Russian titanium products for only a fraction of the cost more than the chrome moly equivalent, has anyone else noticed this and has anyone had experience with getting stuff from Russia? Imagine a Sonerai with a full titanium frame.

    It came out wrong, I would never suggest to fly in those conditions, it was more of, "when you hear of people getting caught out, what happens".
  23. gofastclint
    The best way to fly, is ask your self, would you take your wife up in the weather, if no, don't fly yourself. good point, my apologies on the comment I made.
  24. gofastclint
    Is the person ok? Lets hope they recover fast. One of The Oaks boys?
  25. gofastclint
    If its not sunny, I don't go flying, I have other people to live for not just myself.
