    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

    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

    I've got some good Motorcycle tele forks that would do that job wel, Damped and all. Are you using scissors Links? Nev

    It CAN weaken a riveted structure by the lubricating effect. An etch prime (thin coat)? Tyr to get in the Laps. Nev

    Good Motorcycle stuff would be best practice. IMO. Nev

    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

    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

    It was for a particular use In Africa. "Synching' the Engines will drive you nuts and It won't fly on ONE without feathering.

    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

    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

    Haven't I told you a Million times not to exaggerate? Nev

    That was a pretty basic auto-land. Couldn't be compared with what we have today, including the ground based guidance part of it, and the essential "Fly by Wire" aircraft systems. Nev

    WE haven't taken recycling seriously as the Mining Fraternity wouldn't want it. Recycling is a big part of the solution. Nev

    KR That's why I said "IF" BM any person aware of a matter adversely affecting aviation safety HAS to report it to CASA. by law. Nev

    It's NOT an ILS . Its a complex IMC procedure which would have to be hand flown in my day. To be familiar and skilled is Mandatory (FOR RPT) which means REGULAR Public Transport. Charter and Private don't have to comply but wouldn't get approval to go there on a NON VMC day. There May Be a GNSS based approach but it would need more than One autopilot to be reliable enough. Those Hills are really Close. I've done it in Full motion B 737 simulator. Nev
