    Bending brake

    in AUS/NZ General Discussion

    Posted

    Hmm, bit confused as to why someone thought that was funny.

     

    Any sheet metal fabricator will have a bending brake that'll handle 2.2m easy. Just today I visited my local sheet metal worker to do the 21 degree bend on the lower trailing edge skin.

     

     

    Has anyone done a lolly drop before?

    No lolly shall have as a constituent element any:-

    1) preservatives, whether natural or unnatural

     

    2) sugar, or artificial sweeteners

     

    3) anything that has been shown at some point in time to be an allergan to a human somewhere

     

    4) No Lipitor (ABC showed it was bad!!!)

     

    5) product that can be shown to have contributed to global warming and release of carbon dioxide

     

    6) NBN...cause that simply costs too much and besides a wireless lolly will do just as well

     

    Phew....silliness over for the most parts for another post!

    Instead of lollies, maybe we should do baked beans, carefully washed of the tomato sauce of course. (or if you don't like the crowd, still in the tin).

     

    Because as Tony Windsor said, "Do it once, do it right, do it with fibre!"

     

    How about using popcorn instead? It wouldn't take any eyes out, and it'd be funny to land the plane before it hit the ground.

    This one, and the one under the spinner, operate out of Victoria(capital of British Columbia) on Vancouver Island.Took the photo of refuelling after our sightseeing flight. Great stuff, but I would have preferred a Beaver.

    I always prefer a beaver. 059_whistling.gif.a3aa33bf4e30705b1ad8038eaab5a8f6.gif

    Our bus driver who takes us to Roma from work, was telling us about a bloke who used to fly over this ladies house in Chinchilla every afternoon. Apparently the lady likes to sit outside in the nude and have a glass of wine every arvo after work. He didn't say what kind of aircraft in was. But hopefully for the pilot, it was a slow one.008_roflmao.gif.692a1fa1bc264885482c2a384583e343.gif

    It's even better when you're in a hang glider. I remember one topless sun-bather who didn't notice me until my shadow went over her...

     

     

    Tyre pressure argument

    If the Earth stopped spinning there would be a hell of a lot of bad effects (complete loss of the magnetosphere for starters, which would allow much more solar radiation to reach us, killing pretty much all surface life on the planet).

     

    However it would not stop gravity, which is caused by the mass of the planet and not its spin. So the good news is, while you'd be dead, you'd still be on Earth.

     

    The more important question is, if you were travelling at the speed of light and turned on your headlights, would the light from them be exceeding the speed of light...?
