    Another reason not to gear up land a lightning is the fuel is in a ventral tank, so fire is a massive risk.

    I have friends in very low places. Oh sh*t the goons are at the door,.........

    Have you tried the new email I posted? If he must do wood, then Texas parasol would be good.

    The customers know- That is definitely no longer a Virgin- its F***ed.

    Holly Rene Robertson Journalist Cambodia Times in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. [email protected] Got to love Google- sometimes

    No worries, I have found her. She is a reporter for the Cambodia Daily and a Aussie. I will post her details in 10 when back at desk.

    Industrial bolt supplier is at Windsor, name escapes me, look on Google.

    Get him to join this site would be a good start and home built airplanes.com. If he speaks English, if not Google translate helps. A wooden design like mini Max with free plans would be a good start, he has a V twin and redrive already. Suitable wood should be available in Cambodia cheaply. Wood is the best candidate for his local. Some knowledge on physics of flight would help a great deal. That is where I would start, need to get in contact through BBC I guess.

    Maybe try Ole Hartmann at AAK Taree. He should be able to help or point you to someone who can.

    Hi Carlos, How about some shows on local manufacturers like AAK at Taree. Lots going on and might get the word out to buyers overseas. Same with Jabiru and Protected etc.celebrate the locals. Just a thought. Keep up the great work

    That must be the "yellow peril". That Howard was worried about

    Both are great ,. The Jabbawocky are my choice

    A case of he/she with the biggest bladder wins.

    Great Goulburn girl, one of the noteworthy locals. As is George Lazenby aka James Bond. And some forgettable ones like me.

    True but it is cheaper to go RAA then upgrade and you have more experience more hours same costs etc. I am sure it made sense for him to go with avion as they have sponsored him I am sure. They can afford a marketing budget to suit.

    I can see the school's view but as a industry and sport the RAA needs to be pushed as the starting point that is cheaper and less intimidating for potential flyers. Given the cost of many school and after school stuff like sport, a rec cert is not out of the question for many. A high school down south coast NSW was doing something like this. Given the option of a flying course or business studies, I think It is a no brainier.

    Yes a damn lucky lucky lucky ...........barstard. Sponsorship and crowd funding are much easier these days - but he may still have to pay something. But a well done facetwitt campaign as he goes should sort him out. Now how can I get folks to pay a greying bloke like me to do the same? I will fly anything that stays off the ground but the slower ones mean more stops, more beer as consumables. I will happily do talks on anything to anyone if that helps. Any sponsors?

    I like anything above stall speed plus 10 knots, being in the air is what counts. But if doing the big circuit of Oz, speed on a tank full does reduce fatigue and is better on the bladder. It is a long way and extra distance per hour is your friend. I always like a bit of grunt and range in reserve for comfort. 30 plus years of motorbikes has taught me that. A bit like touring on a 250 compared to a BMW flat twin, both fun but one is much more relaxed to really enjoy the trip, at any speed. Mind you I am happy to have a postie bike with wings.

    Catholic actually . At school we called em penguins. I will just go back to my box.
  21. Litespeed
    Sounds good. But you need lube when giving a Nun a squirrel or use a muffle.
  22. Litespeed
    . Which at 110 knots is plenty really, that's still a long way between fueling and a lot better than slugging away at 90 and a lot cheaper than a Cesspool 172. Yes it would be more sports car then Cessna taxi but that is the point, more of a adventure . And at a price of training and costs that are accessable compared to a Cessna. For the young crowd and their sponsors- parents that can be a deal breaker. Also you have to really try to kill yourself in a Jabberwocky. So in mind much safer

    I agree big things are coming. Creative uses we never thought about.
  24. Litespeed
    That repo show is pure crap A perfect example of Trump's fake America
  25. Litespeed
