"I don't think we got nowhere; I certainly was prompted to research a few things, and the results are already on their way for other people to follow up on. "

I decided after reading lots of comment on This site, To go to Bunnings & get "rain diverters" for my house.

Not only saves the water (onto the garden) but also slows the rush of water into the creeks by a few minutes, Hopefully.

My contribution to the, None man made global warming.

"VH.ILL is owned by a doctor, that could explain it."

Doesn't fly it. & doesn't know he bought it apparently, his son thinks he has a use for it one-day.

If I were to put Solar on my roof, It would take 10 years to pay it off. Life of said panel guaranteed 10 year.

Then dispose of the old & buy new.

NOT very economical, or have I missed something ?.

"This discussion needs to get back to Fire fighting strategy, and in particular the use of aircraft."

Fires need three things (fuel, heat, & air (oxygen).

Have the "firebomber's" drop those big bottles of CO2, Open of course, into the fire,. LoL

It'll never happen. 

But

Science say's, it would work!.

". The UK recently ran for several weeks without any coal power,"

YES

BUT

they have nuclear back-up, haven't they.

I believe we are warming.

But

It started Way before the industrial revolution.

"Another ridiculous example of the double standards in recreational flying in Oz. What instructor is going to pass a student if they can't communicate in a CTAF. "

WHY ! 

If the Blind can fly Why not the deaf & dumb ?.

Remember the bind Pomy trike flyer, going around the world, getting a reception at MASCOT airport.

POOR FIREIES !.

Bureaucracy Gone Mad.

A 'ludicrous' new rule requiring volunteer firefighters to receive a work-with-children check could see thousands of them banned from battling blazes. 

     Queensland volunteers will be required to lodge a Blue Card application before December 1. or they will not be able to continue helping battle fires.

"climate change" Has been with us for 40,00 years.

It is accelerating, but IS it just the world getting back to the tropical, Lush state the dinosaurs knew in their day.

today's Australian forest are not going to make any coal deposits, like the Old forest did.

I feel such an idiot, complaining about the smoke, now My niece has been evacuated, & a grandson is in the thick of it.

Son-in-laws are Firies & SES members so they are at the forefront of it all.

Hoping all are safe, that's for every one.

Can't go outside, but have my air-filter running.

I would be miffed if I bought a ticket, & the prize, is not going to be drawn.

To the point of requesting a refund of my hoped for ticket !.

So who IS going to get that aircraft, a Friend of a friend ?.

spacesailor

Lets see, 6 litres an hour 20 litre tank gives about 3 hour's flight at about $40, 

Lots of hours If everything works the way, 

Dreams do. LoL

spacesailor

NOW ! 

were is the class action over the missing prize ?.

"or effecting shares they own,"

Thats the problem, with most of the profits going into CEO's pockets, & share's not performing.

spacesailor

I would do more than that,

BUT

I can only dream of flying now. LoL

Thank so very much Much, better than anything I could write.

It's the bureaucracy that puts a lot of "back-yard mechanics" out of getting a certificate.

Even the great, "late" Sainty was not a certified mechanic, but what an engine he created.

"So fear of looking like a dork ranks above your desire to avoid injury."

Some of us, Just can't stand their Head squashed in a anything,

I had to give away Motor cycling, when that arbitrary law came in, & took fifty years, to get another bike-ride, (off road).

"Regardless, I agree that the old stuff  should be known by pilots. "

I  don't know of anyone (younger than me), that Has or could use a bubble sextant.

So the old shooting the moon, while flying a single seat aircraft would be hazardous.
