But heat travels, it won,t get up to the carbi, but it helps All the way from there.
And it is a reassurance, just being there.

Many, many thanks for your information & help.
BUT
The fact remains RAA, had not made any hint of helping me & other 95-10 builders, in any way !.
NOT ONE IOTA OF CORISPONDANCE FROM THEM.
You are the only person that has said to register as 95-19 !.
Why couldent those on the register be Transfered over ( to 95-19 ) Instead of Deleted.
Could be the extra revenue by deleting one, to go too the next ?.
Or the extra aircraft registered on two standards.

IT WAS SO SHOCKING !,,
All that work and effort gone ! Along with enthusiasm
, replaced by that dark dismal place.

Like a lot of Older 95-10 aircraft Not all relavant information was Not put out by AUF,
So some Bureaucrat found a ' wing loading ' paragraph that precluded Hummel Bird from being a legitimate 95-10, EVEN when registration Was paid for & was On the list of RAA aircraft.
IF l had broken the law, and flown said aircraft ( unlicenced ) it would have been grandfathered as a flying
Aircraft.
Never sent anything to tell me it was happening, found out by taking 10-1103 for it,s final airworthy check prior to it,s maiden flight
!?
NO REFUND ON MONEY SPENT FOR FALSE RDGISTRATION
Realy up my nose. That they could just wipe out a registration with no apology. Or corispondence.

Yes
Better than what I've got now.
10-1103 registered then cancelled.
Will those Nice GROBS keep their registration ?. ( VH-AWX )

BUT l Need that licence !!!!.
Like my Hummel Bird, Can,t fly without Drivers certificate. SAo why Register ?.
BUT
A Freebie ( VH-AWX ) will Get all that lost enthusiasm going again. AND will double that sinister weight thing reduction, that gets us Oldies DOWN.
( Just a thought: Empty weight: 685 kg IS that in the RA,A New weight range, or do I have to join the push for higher weight

AND
Who gets that airfield, that the Chinese were said to have paid, $one ( $1 )
All the office furnishing are going, as well as the maintenance
BUT
the Big ticket items seem to be the the ' flight simulator's , both over the $40,000 mark already.
BUT are they in they Chinese language or English ?.
those airplanes l looked at, have another thousand hours to run on ' certified ' .( Engine " TIME BEFORE OVERHAUL: 1538.1 " ( prop " TIME BEFORE OVERHAUL: 2214.0 ". ))
But " TOTAL TIME IN SERVICE: 11741.7 . TTR: 11158.3 (NON-CERTIFIED EXTENSION) "
How many Years will that number of engine hours ( 1538 hours ) last a normal sunday flyer.
THEY WILL OUTLAST ME. If l had the licence, l would try my luck at getting a ' well known, safe, two seat, Good looking plane '
( at the last look Still cheap at $ 4,600. ( item P2217-8 ( REGISTRATION : VH-AWX ))
Anyone RICH enough to Buy a birthday pressy for Little Old Me. Pretty please.
And how do l get it to Sydney ?

The half VW, use an oil line wrapped around the inlet pipe & it seems to work.
BUT
I haven,t flown my Hummel yet, without that oil wrap around, so no worries over my plane ,s icing. LoL

Not just those at WA. BUT
" Flight Training Adelaide– 2 aircraft
Australian Flying School – 8 aircraft "
China Southern West Australian Flying College – 38 aircraft
Egyptian Air Force – 74 aircraft
Royal Air Force – 89 aircraft
SO ,
China Southern wasn't the greatest of the trainee fleets around the world , l wonder if All the RAF were Grob 115 Tutor aircraft.

Yes
That does happen.
Has happened to a motorist in NZ. Took car in with gearbox problem, Mechanic said repair or exchange ? How much said owner .repair 2 thirds of exchange !.
Three years later owner takes garage to court over excessive cost & time, court agreed , Garage had to put a NEW gearbox into car and hand it back, for owner to get it Reregistered.
Cost owner twice the value of the car. But it was a Classic car.
How do those Chinese companies get their work done !, If the cost blows out that much ?.

The top bids are over $ 12,000. with most still under $ 10,000.
that makes $ 5g about half way. second hand parts would get that price surely.
The auction notes:
"TOTAL TIME IN SERVICE: 12124.3TTR: 10775.7 (EXTENSION HAS BEEN CERTIFIED) LONG LIFE REMAINING ON AIRFRAME & ENGINE."Constant speed prop " TIME BEFORE OVERHAUL: 1429.4 "Seems a lot of hours left for private flying.BUTThe gelcoat and screen are in need of some TLC.The panel is over the top for a sunday flyer.( If only l had a Licence )spacesailor -
WHY buy old .?
" www.slatteryauctions.com.au "
$5,000 Grob G115 . Looks great ,
BUT
YOU Will need some one there, to do what ever is needed to aquire an air worthy plane.
SO
Good luck, ( l,m a bit jealous, l like That one ).
