My brother hsd a 1950s car ( German ) with a two cylinder two stroke.AND oil injection.

The sedan was 600cc & the sports 900cc, he had the van as well.

They had cast iron crankcases with an alloy head, very like a Rotax.

One more little bit !.

In the Hummbird the tailwheel Is faster, than the same plane with a nosewheel behind the prop.

So when experienced in that plane, remove the nose wheel & put the tail wheel on.

Then start learning all over again !. LoL

spacesailor

I thought those gliders with power assist were the better buy !.

Two seater,s and they look well maintained  (  I think ).

Have their own trailer ' hanger ' as a bonus.

But VH and l couldn,t get a Raa certificate.

News for preloved,

Pickles are selling the ' Roulettes aircraft !.

Pilatus pc9-A,  turboprop .

And

Schleicher  ASK23,M, tandem seat gliders, with motor assistance.

No prices & no registration, on planes or trailers.

Avalon victoria.

spacesailor

Off to another thought !

Scrap an old Drone to use that tiny camera, use phone to view ' camera image' .

Only need the mother-board, battery & camera.

spacesailor

Is that the reason they put the Tail wheel under the nose !.

spacesailor

Say hi ,

Then ' add files' select documents / images .

Hay presto.

A photo from my docs.

( can l ) LoL .

spacesailor

Me too, to much fear !.

So No inline filter, barbed or otherwise.

GEEE

First kid out of three retired.

Next year eldest Great GrandSon, will be a teenager.

I think your Gazelle is more suitable to us normal people, than a high tech expensive warbird.

And l like ' blue & gold '. 

spacesailor

I almost bought one many years ago.

Was at the  cafe, on the Pacific highway, Brooklyn, Sydney. 

THEN the place burnt down.

If the plane came from Antarctica, it must have past the the southern states to get to Darwin.

OR

Is Australia  upside-down ?.

spacesailor

Some of those Nullabour roadhouses have their own airstrip.

Only a HummBird pilot in USA.

My GreatGrandSon has only a couple of years, then he can start training.

He has started high school, so l will have to keep that HummelBird for him !. LoL

spacesailor

Thats the rub, Anyone Can & have designed aircraft, especially model types,

I made model " canards " before they had that name ( that l had  heard of )

Why put those fat wings at the front, made more sense to put the little wings at the front. 

spacesailor

It,s not Just the practical aspect of training, but that Bureaucratic theory.

Not all want2bees have top univarsary schooling.

The American  company, " Archates Power ", was developing that engine.( diesel two-stroke ).

" more power for less pollution"  l remember it said 

10 litre three cylinder produces ' 1600 ft pounds of torque  ar 950 rpm" or 400 hp @ 1700 rpm.

CALSTART Companies webinar.

Lost most of it to my age thing.

spacesailor

Looks like it is, but never heard of that knickname before.

Far to complicated for a aircraft.

spacesailor

MII thought a twin twostroke firing at the same time, would have better crankcase compression, as both pistons will move into the crankcase together.

A " Commer " two strok diesel truck ", it sounded different. Three cylinders with six pistons.

Great fuel economy.

spacesailor

I was pointing out Hummel has a ' part 103 ' aircraft.

Fly,s nicely. 

As for  my ' bird ' it,s a dream, maybe it wan,t fly but it,s great, sitting in my ' tincan & soaring like an eagle.

And kasper , l hope to "  one day meet up with you, after l.m released from this covid Jail term.

spacesailor

spacesailor
