  1. Actually if you do some searching you will find a company in the US that is broad acre spraying with drones. I think they have 3 working at a time. Nice setup on a custom built semi .
  2. If saying don't get him started on Rotax is nasty I am guilty. I didn't think it was that bad. I think this is one of the best behaved groups on the net. We have a few digs but for the most part everyone gets along fine. You give out lots of good information and great stories from your flying days but you are very dismissive of anyone else's opinion. But it's not the end of the world.
  3. Rubbish was probably the wrong word. I just think you are writing drones off without allowing for the technology advances. They will only get bigger and better.
  4. Rubbish. Watch this space. Drones will be the future. Cost come down as volumes increase
  5. sorry. but you actually make some of us scared to post anything for fear of getting shot down in flames. you would have been a good fighter pilot.😀 a couple of lighthearted comments are nothing to get upset about.

    november and still no info
  7. They explain How they did it.
  8. Jesus you scared me. I thought you were saying mine was on the way.
  9. and ford built the gt40 and blew the doors off ferrari. no substitute for cubic inches
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. I have done sideslip training with 3 different instructors. I just haven't done it right down to the runway.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Lots of good info here. Thanks everyone.
  16. Started heading over to yarram just now but ran into a headwind so have gone to Traralgon instead
  17. The whole idea of a side slip is to create drag and lose height without increasing speed. That's what I was taught.
  18. I have no problem side slipping. Just haven't done it right down to the runway before.
  19. Excellent. Thanks
  20. I mean how low so you go before you pull out of the side slip. You are already over the runway.
  21. It is a riveting topic
