  2. yes they are according to the news report i watched it on.๐Ÿ˜€
  3. Remember the bloke on the news that drove the Cessna down to pub in Newman. That was a classic
  4. 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
  5. I knew there was something not right๐Ÿ˜
  6. No. That would be embarrassing
  7. i did flightless flights up and down the airstrip on saturday. it just wouldn't leave the ground.
  8. 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.
  9. 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 Hind

    hawker made beautiful looking aircraft, like this one and the seafury
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. i would say its a more of a revolution๐Ÿ˜€
  14. 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 ๐Ÿ˜€
  15. It works fine unless you have the combo mag and start key switch
  16. Hit the starter for a few seconds with mags off that will burp it I always did it by hand until an instructor showed me that trick
  17. I downloaded it but haven't flown yet
  18. that was a terrible loss. i had the option to buy that jabiru before it went to the oaks. wish i had now. it just shows how dangerous our hobby can be. wrong place at the wrong time is all it takes.
  19. i go to floods warehouse and get what i need but it helps to have the part number because the young people there struggle to find what you need. i asked for a rotax 618 carb socket and was told they don't do motorcycle engines๐Ÿ˜
  20. It's a modified polliwagen and they are an old design
  21. Nev, you make funny comments and jokes on every thread and then tell us we can't
  22. And we were joking
