Where is turbo of the Bailey when you need him 😀

yes they are according to the news report i watched it on.😀

Remember the bloke on the news that drove the Cessna down to pub in Newman. That was a classic

If you ever operated or worked on caterpillar equipment you would have seen the marks on the dipstick for checking the oil while the engine is running. And hot at the same time

I knew there was something not right😁

No. That would be embarrassing

i did flightless flights up and down the airstrip on saturday. it just wouldn't leave the ground.

i don't think he was having a go at your comment. more about how they sludged up so much. another place i worked at had a nissan 720 that was just as bad as the hilux for sludge.

aren't there any zenith builder forums you could ask the question on. there must be plenty of info from people building the same aircraft.

hawker made beautiful looking aircraft, like this one and the seafury

a Bunyip sold on facebook last year in bendigo. it was all set up on a custom trailer. $2000. better in a museum than the air though.

i had a hilux work ute on a minesite years ago. it only ran up and down from the workshop to the pit so it never had any decent runs at op temp. a couple of times when i changed the oil i could hold the oil filter upside down with no oil coming out it would sludge up so bad. we would idle it on a mix of diesel and oil for 20 minutes then drop that and put new filter and fresh oil in. off it would go for another few weeks.

i would say its a more of a revolution😀

I know it's not the recommended way but it works the same. I do agree pulling through by hand is the way to check compression. I ever said you came down in the last shower unless the last shower was a really really really really really really really long time ago 😀

It works fine unless you have the combo mag and start key switch
