I was caught up in the "Helmet" law, (didn't like them" So didn't ride a motorbike for fifty years.

Excellent

What more can I say.

In NSW a few years ago, The cost to repair a "carbon fibre" glider was, 50% of aircraft, plus expenses.

I don't know if it's improved any since the one & only CF authorized repairer.

Still!.

The poor old "HUMMELBIRD" meets almost all of your requirements. Pity it takes a few years to build one.

"

BIG difference on mine!.

My arm gets tired. LoL

Why have "wing-loading on a "safe" airframe when it already had been flying.

Sixteen potential aircraft stopped from joining the illustrious band of RAA homebuilt airplanes.

And what would be next?

RPT, so RAA cert drivers can earn a few bob, or a living taking paying joy flights.

There has to be an end to what you can do with your RAA certification.

Just met a Man,

Has pilots license but worrying over his medical!. He told me he is going to purchase a (cheap) Beach aircraft residing Bankstown airport,

It has only ten hours left on the engine, and he's going to go all out to get it onto the RAA register!, After flying it out of Bankstown to his home airfield.

Has he got a hope? of RAA rego.

Thats why I like Tin planes.

My favorite plane has had a few crashes to it's name , mostly none fatal thankfully. (It seems too many)

I worry about a pilot trained in a large aircraft to solo grade, the getting into a untried single seater, as a test pilot.

The Notepad txt is about a new plane crash!. (only in America)

Wrong!, has a normal two brushes set, which puts 12v into the alternator . thats the reason why flat batteries wont charge by atternator.

Have you seen any of these, Blade contact-breaker.

OOps

"Stall speed of about 37 kts." Knots ?

The Hummel is around 60 Klms p Hour. I thought 95-10 was stall at 40 mph.

It's been a few years

spacesailor

How many of you (collectively) have ever checked your "Alternator brushes" on the car?.

spacesailor

Thanks FH

But I couldn't get through RAA Let alone CASA Bureaucracy,

I did ask yonks ago about Norman Stokes health after he bent his Hummel 10-8445,

FH

My two cents worth,

"you aren't FORCED to fly"

But I am, "you are FORCED to fly" in the way Bureaucracy Force's you to fly dictates, even if I believe is unsafe that way.

Their way or don't fly.

Cut out the strength of a known good air-frame, to comply with the Bureaucratic rules of "wing loading".

Heat!

Even one quick spray coat of white paint on 1/3 of roof, has cooled my garage (hanger/workshop), so it's livable now , oat 40 ishC, inside

You can't set it up as your in the air, that's what the Friends are for!. LoL

Anyone in the other Voluntary services you could tap, I have Firery's and SES. If they have a "donated" piece of "equipment at hand, they might do a training session.

Wellington vs Orange & Dubbo:

No comparison!. Orange 4 ish degrees lower than Wellington, which is 4 ish lower than Dubbo.

If you have friends were you park your aircraft, see if you can get a "wedding gazebo" to put over said plane.

Isn't Wrap, The same vinyl as the number's & letters we have to stick on our planes .

Saw this a couple of years ago, so looked it up,and.

Don't watch if easily offended!.

:

But nobody I know has gone to 95-55.

Dave King has his Rotax powered HummelBird in 19-95 rego.

And one trying for VH, but having a very hard time with CASA.

Kasper ,

What is the "wing-loading" on a VTO aircraft when hovering?.

It doesn't really matter, as Hummel-Birds can be used for Photo-shoots, as per (what you call the pic on left)

I can only dream I'm up with the eagles, as I run a couple of litres through the motor!.

spacesailor

Yes it was an Air Bike

But

Gravity said, "I guess it's all about personal risk. What someone sees as safe another wouldn't ever go anywhere near such a machine".

When I was building there was sixteen builder's also. all lost to RAA, by bureaucracy.

One went to the tip ?
