  1. They mention Rotax 100 ULS. Nev
  2. Yes I realise I've done it all wrong. I have Principles, and seek to find out what's really going on and that's definitely a Handicap.. Having an addiction for Aeroplanes hasn't helped either. Nev.
  3. How will your MOD be approved? Nev
  4. It's "Conceived "In South Africa. I can't see why anyone would certify it. The concept is much the same as a Miles Gemini, of the fifties. We've gone a long way since then with performance and control requirements of Multi engine planes. Nev
  5. If you get LOST in a fast plane you've covered a lot of ground by the time you realise it. You have to be AHEAD of the Plane. ALWAYS. It also FEELS turbulence a lot harder. Don't own a plane to impress others. You'll run out of MONEY doing it. ADHD sufferers.( Incl. ME) aren't ALL as you describe. Nev
  6. The MORE engines the more chance of having one fail, IF it wont fly on ONE, what use is it? Take a look at what the Plane IS with one engine stopped But NOT feathered It's VERY Assymetric. (Hard to control) and the best you could achieve is an extended Glide for all your good work. On top of that you have the annoying out of SYNCH Inevitable without CS Props in normal flight. Constant fiddling with the throttles. Nev
  7. Nice looking plane . I nearly Bought VH AHD when I was at Marshalls at Bankstown, Ex Stan Hone CFI at RNAC. Getting upside down with those is risky There's usually a Pylon in front of the forward cockpit to hold the Plane off the ground. I can't see it there. A friend of Mine currently has one at Bendigo. Most went back to the STATES years ago. Aerobatic with a Supercharged Menasco Pirate engine with open valve gear, 150 HP. Delicate U/C structure easily deformed. Under all that "tin". Nev
  8. Lubricant on a lapped rivetted Joint can weaken it. Some of the strength is by friction and the clamping action of the rivets. Lube it and you just have the rivets in SHEAR. That is why Bonding as well is so good particularly with thin sheet. Nev
  9. I've got some good Motorcycle tele forks that would do that job wel, Damped and all. Are you using scissors Links? Nev
  10. It CAN weaken a riveted structure by the lubricating effect. An etch prime (thin coat)? Tyr to get in the Laps. Nev
  11. Good Motorcycle stuff would be best practice. IMO. Nev
  12. Boom Boom. The engines now are NOT THAT BAD. Nev
  13. Yeah. Everything's the SAME. Who are you trying to fool? None have EVER got CLOSE TO The "Current Mafia COUP" Leaders where LAWS don't mean anything anymore. This is NOT a DRESS Rehearsal. People don't have "rights" unless Trump says so. Don't crash into a TESLA or you might not be seen again.. You'd get less time if you shot someone. It's a VERY divided Country . Nev
  14. I doubt anyone would record those calls. If you are going to crash do it near a road. What happened to EPIRBs? .Chances are you won't be found straight away in outback areas ,. Nev
  15. Next to the "Indispensable People", There was also the One where Beethoven was De Composing. Nev
  16. Quick all right. Nev
  17. I'm 100% with Bob Geldof's latest comments about Trump.. Nev
  18. Get a dog that Barks. Nev
  19. Essayer said than done, Nev
  20. It was for a particular use In Africa. "Synching' the Engines will drive you nuts and It won't fly on ONE without feathering.
  21. I would consider WE are not immune from it but WE are NOT America and the "Imitators" haven't gotten far. Like the same people tried with the TEA Party. Copiers are NOT "Thinkers". Nev
  22. There's NO Need for you to withdraw, Don. Nev
  23. It's become obvious to a Lot of Knowledgeable Oz People that the Current White House or CIA/FBI cannot be TRUSTED by Us. Nev
