    november and still no info
  2. They explain How they did it.
  3. Jesus you scared me. I thought you were saying mine was on the way.
  4. and ford built the gt40 and blew the doors off ferrari. no substitute for cubic inches
  5. raaus are losing l2s for a similar reason. now they are making the l2 responsible for the aircraft he does a condition report on . he may not even be present when the aircraft is test flown and may be in for the fight of his life if something goes wrong.
  6. Nothing unusual to sell products. Remember when Bathurst was race on Sunday sell on Monday. People weren't expected to go racing in their new falcon or Kingswood so the race had no relevance to them.
  7. I have done sideslip training with 3 different instructors. I just haven't done it right down to the runway.
  8. well it was one of trent palmers videos and he has a pretty good reputation. you could look it up yourself. was your zephyr a mk1, 2 or 3. the mk 3 had triple su carbys if i remember correctly.
  9. That's like utube I watched on the epic turboprop. They said side slipping an epic gains nothing because they are so slippery from every angle it doesn't create much drag.
  10. Lots of good info here. Thanks everyone.
  11. Started heading over to yarram just now but ran into a headwind so have gone to Traralgon instead
  12. The whole idea of a side slip is to create drag and lose height without increasing speed. That's what I was taught.
  13. I have no problem side slipping. Just haven't done it right down to the runway before.
  14. Excellent. Thanks
  15. I mean how low so you go before you pull out of the side slip. You are already over the runway.
  16. It is a riveting topic
  17. signing a few new ts and cs does not bother me at all. won't affect me flying around on the weekends.
  18. mercury outboards being 2 stroke had to have all the pistons inserted with the crank in one go .
  19. steyr marine diesels are jug engines as are most mercury outboards up to the 1990s
  20. doing a couple of circuits tonight i side slipped in to avoid overflying a house. i straightened out around 200 ft. just wondering how low is considered safe when slipping. i haven't done a lot of it so far.
  21. Yes it has the wall adaptor mike.
  22. Just wanted to post some feedback For Ian's shop. I was looking for a radio scanner so I can check the local atis from home. Found one here , looks like a great little unit. I also checked my local Jaycar and they could not match the price. Thanks Ian for providing this resource and now I will be doing some more shopping on clearprop.👍
  23. Hi mate. What stage are you at with the Jabiru now.
  24. They sounded unreal. I remember them racing at Paynesville in Victoria. Miss bud was the one I recall.
