...and better weather.

Why go coastal? Stay west of the divide and relax. Navigate via dams. Glenlyon, Pindari, Copeton, Split Rock, Keepit, then turn SE over YQDI (where you're welcome to stop over), cross the Liverpool Range using the cooling towers of Bayswater Power Station as markers. They're pretty much in line with YCNK.

Your local Men's Shed? Retiree groups? I had an octagenarian couple help recover my wing. Wife worked with my wife on the sewing machine, hubby helped me install, glue and iron on the fabric. They had a ball!

Too much of Australia's expertise and wisdom is locked away in retirement homes. What a clever country.

Welcome aboard Chas. You'll find some familiar faces on this forum. Your beast got a couple of mentions recently (http://www.recreationalflying.com/threads/ecofly-diesel-aero-engine.136625/page-2#post-504668)

but some thought it was based on a D-18. I'm sure there are plenty of people interested in what you've learned about adapting an automotive Diesel engine to an aircraft.

Not to mention a heap of old movies and TV series... and I mean A HEAP!For instance...Check this out!!! This was about the best TV series ever made...no kidding.

 

Technology well in front of law and law enforcementIf he had a permit for the handgun, what was he doing wrong? (forgetting the State parks BS, plenty allow shooting anyway)

Ill bet theres many now similarly equipped after this internet success.

Well if big brother can why can't I?It would surprise me if this was the first one doing this, I would think anyone with even a small amount of rc experience could do this. It is a wonder that something similar with a fpv setup isn't common place police issue. But where do you stop.

 

An awesome can of worms.

Great pix Eric. The coating of white sure makes things look different. Did it affect your navigation?

Better than a Flu

Shot!

Miss Beatrice,

The church organist,

Was in her eighties

And had never been married. She was admired for her sweetness and kindness

to all.

One afternoon the pastor

came to call on her and she showed him into her quaint sitting room.

She invited him to have a

seat while she prepared tea...

As he sat facing her old Hammond organ, the young minister noticed a cut

glass bowl sitting on top of it.

The bowl was filled with water,

and in the water floated of all things, a condom!

When she returned

With tea and scones, they

began to chat The pastor

tried to stifle his curiosity

About the bowl of water and its

strange floater, but soon it got the better of him and he could no longer

resist.

'Miss Beatrice', he said,

'I wonder if you would tell me about this?

Pointing to the bowl.

'Oh, yes,' she replied, 'Isn't it wonderful?

I was walking through the park a few months ago and I found this little

package on the ground.

The directions said

to place it on the organ,

keep it wet and that it would prevent the spread of disease.

Do you know I haven't had the flu all winter.

If you don't send this

To five GOOD

friends

Right away

There will be

Five fewer people

Smiling in the

world.

Old K - Is that the Denali ones you used?

That's what I used to think FT. Have you been following this tread?

I used a pair for a few trips, and liked the lightness, low noise and comfort. They didn't put my head in a vice grip like Dave Clarks.

...and they didn't even call it a Cessna!

I am not sure how many wheelie bins the local postie could fit on his Honda C90.

Economic necessity will be the driver; have a look at how many government departments, private corporations and statutory bodies your local Post Office now represents.

But it's not what they signed up for, they are employed to do the job of Fire and Rescue, not take on the responsibility for providing traffic and weather information to pilots. It's like asking the Postman to collect the recycling bins just because he is driving down the same street. Two very different jobs with extremely different responsibilities....FIS.

If we employed specialists for everything...we'd be worse off than Greece.

Hello Roundsounds,Rules and threat just cause agrivation and generally develop more deviant behaviour.

As I have yelled and cooed before training which develop a "Good Culture" not rules, is the go.

 

Well developed good culture goes viral and is handed about free of charge.

 

Regards,

 

KP.

The best boss I ever worked under had a gift; he was such a decent bloke you didn't want to let him down.

I was just reading on the Jodel forum of a bloke who recently finished a Diesel Jodel, an ecofly I believe, lives in NZ. all's well and he is very pleased with the result. I'll post his name as soon as I find it

Whoops, I didn't see Microman's post.

Nice to see you started with a PROPER aeroplane- with bent wings!

... The only part of the whole investigation thing that is missing is the full and frank reporting to the membership and there are legal reasons why that can't be done...Andy

That's a great idea but what about an electrical short behind the instrument panel?

I have always carried a small , half kilo, fire extinguisher within easy reach with me just in case . After reading the nightmare that Geoff went through I found out the thing was 3 years out of date and didn't work at all. Does everyone else carry one?

Wow PM. That rock surface wouldn't look out of place in a Tolkien saga. This is the oldest continent, with the oldest culture. Who knows what lies undiscovered in the vastness of our country?

No animals were hurt in the making of this post.

Apologies to Eric Burdon.
