  1. LOW temperature.

    Just read about Canadian Hummel Birds, nice day, temp 50 f ( 15 c ).

    I would need a Heater in cockpit, not airvents. LoL

    My last flight training day it was a 40 c  at the Oaks.

  2. Correction to my Rant ?.

    I did sell my first car.

    the new owner came back a couple of months late, claiming he was charged with " steering-track-rod-end & a ball joint ", for it's WOF (PINK-SLIP ) after getting under the car, I found he'd been ripped of.

    So I called the cops, and that garage lost its WOF licence,

    The new owner wasn.t even pleased.

  3. Surely.

    That would have to depend on What Were & How you aquire those toys.

    I built a Dingy, second hand materials, cost $ 10 or there ABOUTs.

    I built a Larg ocean going yatch, mostly second hand, plus hand me downs.outlay less than $30,000.

    I built 1.& a half aluminium aircraft, cost  (shuush don,t tell, the wife thinks it,s free ) 

    Training ( FAILED ),  less than $ 5,000.

    On going cost $20 ish a month for fuel AND my dream sits awaiting for it,s freedom to Soar like an eagle.

    Cheaper than a car that cost $20,000, and $thousands a year in statitory fees, and thats just to park beside my Dream Bird.

    AND I,ve never Sold anything. Always give them away.

    PS: THE ENJOYMENT IS WORTH hundreds of thousands more than just watching others do their thing !.

  4. But,!.

    You wouldn,t need most of the 3,000 dyno hp.

     Or that massive RPM,

    Depowered will definitely last a lot longer, but a drag car only needs 10 seconds of power, and doesn't even have a radiator.

    As drag car,s go, Sainty lasts much longer than most of their competitors, befor it goes in the bin.

  5. The most Successful home made motor is SAINTY.

    Can we get them to make a Tiny motor for us flyers.

    Gas Guzzlers have nothing on the drinking habits of a Sainty motor at full throttle.
