  1. A similar product doesn't cut it in aviation.
  2. Most of those aeropedia facts are bullshit. Certainly got your attention though.
  3. don't think the extra power will do much except better climb and takeoff roll. top speed won't increase much with that airfoil. got 10 weeks to go til i bring my zodiac home. whats your cruise speed mb. mine is a taildragger so a bit less drag.
  4. tom wickers the designer is still around. you will find him in the bushflyers group on facebook.
  5. On the aopa video the bloke said there are 9000 ga aircraft in Aus but only 4000 of them are in flying condition. Obviously he is not concerned with large commercial fleets.
  6. I heard the woman running casa just got a 2 year contract for 2 million. Another case of the fat cats looking after themselves.
  7. easy for a keyboard pilot to say. you don't know what was going on in the cockpit.
  8. So eager to prove people wrong you don't read their posts
  9. i was referring to nevs comment that heaters smell. did you not read my comment about carbon monoxide detectors. you and nev are convinced i am a complete dickhead and i can't change that. i will still sleep tonight. not from from carbon monoxide poisoning either.
  10. a well maintained engine will take care of leaks but we do have detectors as well. you don't need a cabin heater to get carbon monoxide intrusion. remember the dramas with jabirus until they figured out it was getting sucked into the cabin through the ventral fin cable outlet
  11. same system as blues in the texan i trained in. worked great and there was no smell at all.
  12. Hope he is ok Some of the members are getting on in years.
  13. Same thing . Kip aero sell the csm engine from NZ .
  14. look up kip aero. i agree but what a wonderful looking engine
  15. found them. https://www.kipaero.com/ they sell camel kits and the engines
  16. there was someone in nz building gnome replicas that were supposed to be an excellent engine from what i read but i can't find the company any more, or remember the name.
  17. Have a look at this camel takeoff.
  18. i would argue that melbourne is the corruption capital. 15 billion is pretty hard to beat.
  19. love this one. so ugly the earth repels it
  20. i will tell you being a rag and tube flyer both those problems would have been picked up with a preflight inspection. i always check every attachment even the spar bolts just in case one has broken or worked loose. and i also push the wingtip up to check the struts as well. thats all on xairs but i am sure its the same on any other .
