Dont thow it at the Prop then!, LoL

There's a new concept using a Magneto to power a electronic ignition system, so it's self sustaining.

Saw it in an online magazine.

What was the type of battery used?, the new technolegy ( LI_FE_PO) looks great, but needs to be a lot cheaper to be of comercial value,

AND what LAME is qualified to work on elecric aircraft.

just my two cent worth.

Why does the plug have to be alloy?, I use wooden plugs to balance lots of items, (and props)

Belated congrates, Live long and prosper!

Tell me?, what happens when your plane acends or dives, does the compass malfunction!

I learnt the sextant nav, But its too bloodi heavy & slippery when your hands are wet, two expensive lumps later I changed to GPS, going from 10 mile fix to 50 metres acuracy was a revalation.

Paper charts are only as good as the pencels used on it.

spacesailor

Making me VERY jealouse, must'nt say "good XXXX" and certanly wont say "break a xxx" LOL

spacesailor

I read a wave flipped the aircraft

spacesailor

Much quicker then I've rebuilt a car motor, LOL

Now my grandsons do it for me, (after I'de tought them,they had to go back to school,)

The UK has had a few Illegals flying since the gov only allows GA planes. At last It's allowing LSA.

If we have to become none legal flyers at least we have lots backyard to fly in.

Who knows were the airstrip at "Tobermory" is ?, somewere north of the "Plenty hwy "in NT I think,

(If people are unable to understand what was in post 215, then it is no real surprise they do not understand what is happening to RAAus. How bad do things need to get before the penny will drop?)

Do we have to pay lawyers to read lawyerspeak. each time a bureaucrat writes a sentence it gets veted so that only lawyers can understand it.

What's killing 95-10, PAPERWORK.

Dream a dream machine, build it, Then break it to check its stress \ G force levels

EG, the Hummelbird in the UK has now got stingers in the rear fuselage, BUT the design is monocoque, therefor Not a Hummelbird, but it passed the bureaucrats' paperwork test.

My , condolences to their family, and extended family,

My family has members in the SES, NSW, & I know how close they are.

Many thanks XAIRVTW the information. on the SAAA

I must try and get motivated again.

spacesailor

AND!.

We didn't elect the lier-Lier red head

spacesailor

Apologies to the home built Sonex and Waiex community that I visited, but again GA not ultralight.

And I must get to visit a SAAA, but I'm a little bit lost with chapter's.

spacesailor

Been to both, liked them too, But I like to see other home builds & there was aplenty at Narromine. The Dave King Hummelbird was a favourite of mine , it wasn't at Temora last year and only one homebuild that I remember, (needed a tuned exhaust)

Lots of very expensive GA type aircraft, and little of what the concept of what ultralights is about, after all Raa took-over Ultralight aviation, AUF didn't join GA to make RAA. (I think,( could be wrong)).

Perhaps That's the problem, two factions, penniless homebuilders and chequebook fliers who need a lesser GA,

My Need!, someone to fill in all the forms and formalities.

Got the original LOG book 20cent, "OfficeWorks"

spacesailor.

If you made an engine it show "mechanical aptitude" IF like me you have "fear of conflict" problems. bureaucracy will stop every thing, it will stop a person climbing a mountain to swimming an English channel, No paperwork no fun, that could be done safe.

Just have to do every thing behind the OFFIAL's back. To prove it can be done.

spacesailor

So, NO trip from you, I could have had a look at the museum there too. LoL

spacesailor

Must be Me!, didn't go this time as I had overseas visitors to show around, so was too far away to do my own thing, Cant even get to Mudgee either.

spacesailor

So after all the discussion I still contend!

Who Will give Me a joy-flight for a contribution to their fuel cost.

Lets test the law, might even take photo,s heaven forbid.

spacesailor

So very true Keith.

Would I have to write in "Jaeger" & or mintach tacho time in my log, if ever I get to fly my dream machine.

Also would I have to provide blueprints / plans to the L1 / L10 mechanic to work on a home built engine ?, only photo's required at the moment by RAA.

spacesailor

What/ which mechanic/engineer, knows ALL engines on our domestic market

one Fitter- Turner makes the best engine I've ever seen on three continents, Big volume, quad cam, multi valve per cylinder, dry sump, and super-charged , heaps of torque, revs to 15,000 rpm.

Try to get Casa to find a L1 to L10, qualified to work on home building motors, even a Qantas engineer was taken aback !,

Look at miniature motors on youtube' V12' model size,
