Which is the lesser of the two, ?.
Owning a none flying aircraft, that sits forlorn waiting for that day to soar like the eagle it thought it was.
Or
Haveing done the exams, for the certificate / licence, watching other,s soaring like eagles in the wide blue sky ?.

BUT.
I Payed for 95-10,
No refund offered !
When built and registered it was legal to fly. So with NO time restrictions I merly let it sit, while training for my certificate.
Then was told .NOT LEGAL.
Fancy buying a car then told, NOT ON NSW ROADS.
Western Australia did the same with wide motor-homes. Which took court action to allow them to go to Perth.

"You cannot train and build at the same time."
NOW you Tell me !,
At fifty years I thought I had heaps of time tp build then fly.
But Not so

True, on the time scale.
I travelled from Orange to Holbrook NSW. Then Return. Almost two tanks of sixty litres, each way And a three day trip by car.
A pilot using 22 litres p hour flew in, then returned that same day back to Orange.
Sometimes planes are quicker and cheaper.

AND
If you take long enough to build. RAA can change the rules, that you built by.
HummleBird 10-1103 registered 16 Agust 1992, and paid for.
The last HummelBird registered in the 95-10 category
Try as they may they can,t change history.

I built mine,
Then the bureaucrats changed the rules, the last Hummel Bird registered as 95-10 category.
Not flown just because of mr Maktuk rules!. and then they took the rego off the list.

Are we all missing the missing link!.
The boffins are all in agreement that our Human race has peaked already.
Mans sperm count is falling,
The babies are getting too large for normal birth.
Our cancer is rising, especially in children.
Our disease is getting spread rapidly around the world.
Will our population ever get much higher than it is now ?.

Warmup too should be shorter ?.

NZ compo law is great
BUT NOT FOR the Victims of negligence.
Three weeks payed by your employer AT lowest wage.six weeks by the government.
THEN
Your on the dole
Not long to recover from having a cast iron machine, without a Guage, filling with nitridgon for cooling,
Explode,
when told to tap it with a hammer to check if frozen or put more nitridgon in.
NO BLOODY COMPO FOR THAT,

And don't forget the fuel tanker, On full throttle it will drink a standard Jabiru tank dry befor you reach altitude.

Not very economical, IC motors do seem to eak out the expensive fuel.

Just a few photo,s as I couldn't stop to , to go fetch a camera when I wanted to record any item ( check it with the Hummel Group.).
Plus a Builders Log wasn't necessary, building to UFA/ RAA 95-10 category .
BUT if going to VH Experimental, will have to open up All enclosed parts for inspection.
Mabey take it apart and sell as a complete KIT. worth more money than an registrable aircraft.
