When l was there it was 30 degrees plus !.

At NIGHT.

The water temp seems low for Karumba ?.

spacesailor

PIRATEBAY !

BUT

If on the one hand we ( collectively  ), clean the environment And lower the nice warmth that I enjoy.

When we get that extra cloud cover, I,ll have to burn Something to keep warm.

As my Solar power has gone under cloud cover & not producing as well.

spacesailor

PS messing with the  environment is never a good thing & is thraught ( spelling ) with danger.

In replay 

My 10-1103 aircraft went through at least five builders !.

Same plans for The same aircraft.

The finished product is Not the plan purchase, But the Aircraft the plan produced.

What manufacturer sells plans that are not supposed to produce a product ?.

Answer 

UNSCRUPULOUS 

And they are out out there !.

( 14 Hummel plans multiplied by four. is an awful lot of dollars ) if every one had to purchase a new plan at the change of ownership. 

I may have to get comfirmation from the Hummel !  I have sent an enquiry to the Hummel manufacturer.

No serial number required! .

spacesailor

PS  I would think that Any manufacturer would like to see their products finished! .

Unless you knock the ' sextant ' ( against the mast ) while trying to hold yourself safe !.

Then you,ll have to bring out the pocket GPS to get home. LoL

Want to buy a ' Cmap ' going cheap !.

spacesailor

When the plan purchaser, Does not build !, or Does not complete that build, why should the next person have to buy a new set of plans, & if those plans are bought, does that finished plane have to carry TWO serial numbers as per TWO plans registered? .

Double dipping by the manufacturer, perhaps to make their new number of plans sold, greater.

16 Hummle builders, ( on the old builders list  ) but only Two finnished as Registered flying aircraft !.

Who wants an unused set of plans, going cheap.

spacesailor

I too have a Sinclair Z80 micro pc.

Never used it, another bit of junk according to, she who must be heard.

Also Commadore Amiga 500, still in its box, with a bucket of software.

Silly me, 

spacesailor

So we only have to inform the manufacturer of change of ownership,

Then l suppose the manufacturer  will want extra money,s be payed.

If you get the plans with a part build, and the manufacturer doesn't want to be frendly, l guess you will be in trouble.

spacesailor

$20,000 for an older plane,

PLUS

$20,000 for that SIDS inspection, puts the price up a lot, into the Jabiru bracket, of $35,000.

spacesailor

Isn,the first purchaser,s payment enough ?.

Hummel must have sold many hundreds of plans, possibly only half were used to build a plane, that means the plans Should be used ( as payed for ) by another builder, only once.  That is.

spacesailor

Well that would be fun,

What happens when you hit an obstacle? .

spacesailor

That one wheel   'skateboard ' is what gets a  HummleBird owner around !.

Still can,t see how to balance it thou.

spacesailor

Airspeed AND altimeter often have a common orifice, which if taped over will stop the pito (  & altimeter )  reading, even the two orifices were taped off on the big jet l mentioned.

spacesailor

Altimeter, from spell check.

Altimi.ter

From guessworkter

Still a couple of hundred feet l expect 

spacesailor

Prestart check .

If a covered pitotube has Not been discovered, the chance of noticing it during take-off would be minimal, as your eyes will not be on the altimeter.

So at what hight would you normally check your gauges, ..

a couple of hundred feet l expect 

spacesailor

I have an old: AWA fax,radio, as seen in the film " the perfect storm " 

Alas no HF broard cast,s now.

spacesailor

WHAT !

No nude swimming, like those at the Derwent, Tasmania. 

Water looks nice & warm.

spacesailor

ICE motor ' dragcar ' has broken the 4 second 1/4 mile ,.

BUT

 The powers that is, has change the 1/4 mile to french metres.

So that Aussie record won,t be upheld.

When l see EV dragsters competing against the top blokes.

spacesailor

If, like the, Oaks, you have buildings upwind of that crosswind, you can anticipate the lifting wing.

spacesailor  ( low hour, still training ).

It happened on a big jet, pitot covered for washing, then Not removed before takeoff !.

spacesailor

Ten times worse.if you have a bad memory !.four bludi A4 pages of this shite while trying to study aeronautics.

AND why not remove the y (  why ) from the airfield designation. ( sydy for Sydney , oks for the Oaks )

spacesailor

That was my idea !, with five attach points arranged around the rear fuselarge, instead of three (  top, bottom & side ) it would have a better chance of holding together. Except for the weight factor.

spacesailor

I bought a five point harness for my HummelBird.

BUT

The beaurecrats made my change it to a piece of light-weight rope, around the waist.

( trying to comply with Rules ).

spacesailor

What is the max pilots weight ?

I,m 95 Klgms.

spacesailor

On a trailer, in your own backyard.

Just a drive to the 'Oaks' Or south to 'Wedderburn', go over the Blue moutains west, even head north 'Armidale'.

With a trailer your not tied to one spot on the map !.
