I did not get that ' air worthiness certificate because the L2 didn,t bother with a plane, not in the correct category.
Then the registration on the RAA list was removed.
No correspondence by RAA what so ever,
I only found out about category 95-10. From kasper, on this forum.
So much for RAA looking after its members.

Yes, the Hummel ' Ultracruiser ' is part 103 compiant.
And the H5 is for the larger pilots, with a bigger engine.
Go ' flyhummel ' for all the information.

The new era yachts go faster then the wind that powers them !.
10 knts wind, plus 6 knts boat travel, = 16 knts apparent wind ,.

He needed a ' good ' carburetor.
Even many years later aircraft used ignition to slow their engines for landing.

Foremost Automobile maker in Europe !.
DaimlerBenz - MercedesBenz,- now A.M.G.Benz.
Still in production, Since, Karl Benz ' 1879 ' developed ( patented ) a two stroke engine !.
Longer than vw.

SO
Fuel injection does Not require the venturi, as the fuel is delivered to the engine by pressure !??
Super ( turbo ) charging does away with the vacumme altogether. ( suction stroke )
Both make the engine more efficient.
If only mr Benz had known. LoL

A little clarification.
AUF registered said 95-10-1103 Hummel bird no problem.
RAA Deregistered it, with out ANY correspondence at ANY time.
I was informed by L2 on final inspection.
RAAus has my particulars, but to this day have never , other than ' membership renewal ', sent one item of information to me.

Well, here,s a negative for RAA, no Information what so ever ,. Not even a letter to inform me that the plane l was building has been deemed unregistrable.
After it was given interim registration.

Whitsunday or Hamilton island will do me,
As a matter of fact Any North Queensland island will do nicely.
I have set foot on all the islands in the whitsund group, greedy me.
It was fantastic !.
Magnetic Island is Great too, and a marvelous coral reef experience in Townsville.
Making myself jealous.

Keep writing, those ' tombs ' from people, who know a different story to what the official ( government )
properganda, that we have been fed !. Untill the internet, that was all we could get.
Any news on our last author Jeff, on the Aussie air force pilots flight to Russia. ( his father ).
My father was an ' airframe fitter,' ( rumered ) to have worked at putting a jet Whittle into a tiny airframe.
Not even a photo of him as a youger man.
I knew nothing of his life untill his obituary. ( official secrets ! )
Hope to get out of jail ( lockdown ) & come to visit you !. One day.
