The "Hummel-Bird" WAS on the 95-10 registry, (two cylinder single seat, good looking, efficient design)

and if Flying could stay there, If registered after a certain date, it gets the chop & needs a new rego, 94-19 or VH.

Check that registry now & see how many are left there.

YOU build a safer plane and it's "wing-loading" stops the registration!.

Is that (Gisbourne NZ) where the road turns onto the rail line to go over the rail bridge?. To cross a river (guessing)

spacesailor

And over-policed.

"a critical low level manoeuver you have to get right"

Just a note, It took a lot of work to get Ultralight Aviation Up to a SAFE altitude,

Now you want to be back at the low flying that was said to be so dangerous !.

spacesailor

Is it as exciting as this,

Was featured by a Hummel pilot, doing a great but dangerous flight along a road & river with His/Her wings looking vertical on some of the turns.

At times it seemed it was below tree-top height. ( couldn't get URL).

Tried again,

Then there's the home built, most go unrecognized, just happy to get it finished!.

12 hours looking at the back of some-ones head will do in people's mind's.

But there's less rain hitting our parched grass!.

spacesailor

That doesn't work as PV etc, need to be on the correct side to maximize efficiency.

which leaves three sides naked.

"Here are some sample albedo values. The range of possible values is from zero (totally unreflective) to one (fully reflective).

New asphalt, 0.04 - 0.05

Aged asphalt, 0.1 - 0.12

Bare soil, 0.17

Deciduous trees, 0.15 - 0.18

Green grass, 0.25

Aged concrete, 0.2 - 0.3

New concrete (traditional), 0.4 - 0.55

New concrete with white portland cement, 0.7 - 0.8

Water, 0.03 - 1.0

Soil (Dark/Wet) 0.05

Soil (Light/Grey) 0.4

Sand 0.15 - 0.45

galvanized steel - 0.24

terra cota tile - 0.28

tar & gravel - 0.33

Notice that the good old terracotta tile has an higher albedo than trees, so the old areas of Sydney might be cooler than the the bush they replaced."

This thread was about houses heating the air!

Which includes whats on MY roof.

spacesailor

It's locked & councilor drives out to unlock the gate, and there no (guaranteed) public phone airside.

spacesailor

many thanks BULL

PS son-in-law has same name, for shortened part of his surname.

spacesailor

Just an aside:

How do you contact the "owner/person in charge" of any property ( they don't put names on gates or roofs)

Wellington airstrip is council member. & could be changed any time.

Bugger:

Just had my roof repainted a brown colour, with-out micro-spheres.

Next door is done in slate-grey.

"Who is going to pay for the 55 years of live in nurse, rebuilding the house to suit which adds up to a total cost of around 48 million."

I believe that's the roll of the "compulsory insurance scheme" that motorist have to pay. or is it only for Cyclist!.

And now:

Has anyone tried putting "microspheres in the paint?. I used it on a cruising yacht with good results (flush decked).

so will it work on a very hot galvanized roof, collects extra heat very quickly. 40 D c outside & 51 inside (ouch too hot to work in there).
