That's very expensive ( $200  ) compared to a cyclists helmet.

Soft over head strap !.

Wide ribbon, your colour, ( white to match my hair colour, )

spacesailor

Cyclists helmets are OK in small planes,

Head phones can have a soft over the head strap, with the hard strap behind the neck.

That way they can be worn with a helmet.

spacesailor

Molycoat !.

That rings a bell for ' antyseize ' .

long time ago, SO l will give looking through my garage away. 

spacesailor

Agree  Silly cone is good, can you get it as a grease thou.

spacesailor

Yes glass between the wood is good, ( Don  )

BUT

Carbonfibre is a lot harder to get that perfect ' glue line ' to which, means, will it be safe ,.

spacesailor

Wooden props have served us well, even through a couple of wars !.

The use of FRG , has been used a few times but is much better on the Outside, doing a good Finnishing job when there,s a rough surface to hide.

But laminating CF betweem wood is something else.

Has any one tried it, to check the finished strength,  ?.

spacesailor

Yes ' doable & will get rid of the halfVW vibrations.

Only four circuits. Was hoping for at lease double that. No cross country there.

How long before a longer range is Affordable? .

spacesailor

The one proct that I consider good is ' Lithium ' grease n & spray, when you havr the need to lube plastics it works wonders.

spacesailor

All that maths is mind boggling.

But it seems a feasible doer.

Big snag l,m now too heavey for the plane, ( will have t lose rwo legs, 10 kgms ), LoL.

spacesailor

Thats why we will never be told, when that asteroid will take us all out.

The Banks won't allow Their money to be blown by us fools !. LoL

spacesailor

Will that be possible,  considering  ( a HummleBird   )  15 kgms fuel & tank 38.5 kgms motor, on either side of firewall. Only 35 horses needed, but 45 would be better.

Now weight of electric motor, then Batteries plus controllers,  ?.

spacesailor

BUT

The smaller the prop radius, the higher the revs,

Equals 'inducted fan'.

Double motor-fan setup for takeoff, with one motor off for cruise. 

Could have ' contra-rotateing fans for better efficiency,

Could have rear fan, folding for less drag.

The Indian government needs ' super trains 'to haul that mass of paperwork the bureaucrat,s make, having five copies of everything.

"Were do you put the 'liqui Moly ' 

In the oil or the fuel tank !."

There was a molybdenum (spelling  ) that was an oil additive, if l remember a black powder.

After adding & using, do you wash it all out with a dose of clean fuel !.

spacesailor

Were do you put the 'liqui Moly ' 

In the oil or the fuel tank !.

spacesailor

Yes , I looked into wind generation for my sailing, but it was always coming up short, and the battery replacement expensive, 

spacesailor

What  !.

Burn bodies  ( cows  ),  to generate electricity, a bit on the nose. LoL

spacesailor

UNLESS

We go Nuclear! .

A Very stable continent, not like England with hundreds of miner earthquakes annually. 

Is Calder Hall still working? . 

spacesailor

AND those batteries are made using the same Black coal, of Olden times.

spacesailor

 What is 'part 103 & part 131' Australian  aircraft ?.

spacesailor

Smoking hot on Fraser Island beach.

Torque converter works overtime when pushing sand uphill.

Do any car maker,s have a thought of using temperature gauges fot trasmission oil .

Lots of After-maket bits, that full offroader,s use.

AND

NO I haven,t put a trannie guage in my Delica !, my bad, but has oil cooler installed

spacesailor

Or the Jeep catching fire when plowing through sand. 

Not the maker,s fault, 

BUT, they did change that trannie oil.

spacesailor

Only half the revs of a Sainty drag car motor,

Unbelievable redline on their tacho.

spacesailor

True.

BUT

it would be my First flight with my new hip !.

NOW would I be able to lift my leg over that cockpit combing? .

Still not up to an 18 year old,s fitness yet. LoL

Had to climb up & inspect my roof this morning,  just for the NRMA insurance.

Seems OK to me. But they,l want photos, then a licenced person to collaborate my inspection.

All for their mates on their list of repairers.

spacesailor

Nice plane from !.

Slattery auctions.

Sales no.,4863: Boeing ,.

This time at Brisbane, 

And, has anyone got informatoin on that Grob trainer plane auction. At Jandakot airport WA.

Are the purchaser,s All happy ?.

What was the final bid price, ?.

Do we know anyone with a nice new Grob aircraft, ?.

Is there any chance of a spare seat ,?.

LoL
