.......fart a lot""But they are good company on long flights" chimed in young Tomo "They dont criticise my flying or complain about the turbulence (bumpy air, not Bangherhome resident) like some other people I know"

"You shouldn't complain about your instructors Thompson", said Bryn "they are only trying to help you, and we even have a thread going on excessive pushing and pulling"

Today is the 26th May, still no magazine. Unless I am badly informed and there is a difficulty somewhere, the non-arrival of the May edition shows inept management and a disregard for the members who are the customers. This is the latest period in a month that I have not received our magazine.Please let us have some answers, not excuses.

Will be ordering a new 582 from Floods tomorrow. $6375 plus GST, includes carbs, pull start, fuel pump and exhaust system. Will reuse 2 piece radiator, reduction gear box and electric start.Pud

I'm with Facthunter on this. I ran two strokes for about 12 years in race cars; Allowing for a few years the barrel costs were about right - a light two stroke is a very expensive form of sport if you are going to pull heavy loads, and once you start to rebuild them it's always possible to miss some small item. I wouldn't buy a reconditioned one unless I knew tyhe history of the rebuilder, so I think new will be the more economical way for a few years use Pud and you won't regret it. Better than trying to do a forced landing into blackberry bushes.

Well BR, there are a few Jabs nearby - we could throw some biscuits down.

Take a look at the safety equipment specification requirements for fishing BOATS in the vicinity of the north coat of Tasmania - you have to have a small BOAT on top, and that's something which is seaworthy if its engine stops.

An RA aircraft has to be successfully ditched; hands up those who can do it in ocean wave formations.

And once you're far enough out, think 15 knots for your rescue boat to arrive, so maybe several hours from the time you successfully ditch, and I recall one case where a commercial aircraft sighted someone in a lifejacket in the early afternoon, but there was no helicopter in the Melbourne area with suitable range/equipment, and the commercial aircraft had to leave the guy there.

Consider the weight of the thermal/flotation/safety gear you would need just to remain afloat and findable in the water, and you're probably down to one person in an RA aircraft.

Then as I said earlier, look at the reliability of RA engines.

You are almost totally relying on a non-event trip or you're dead - a bit like Russian roulette.

Facthunter made the point about NZ, Tasmania for $65.00 or whatever and local hire looks a lot smarter.

C'mon you 'big islanders' don't be woosies!!.....us 'best little island in Oz' pilots do it all the time!!

"Cross? Cross?" said Horace with a modern yuppie upward inflection "I was not just cross, I was totally p***ed off when that Barazilian Hostie tipped that cup of Maxwell House in my lap. And to make matters worse, that happened the day after AHDorsetshire flew his beercan into the paddock of my lovely pure-breed Merino ewes, and set a new record for a Saturday afternoon sleep-in with 'em ............. so now AH Dorsetshire is cross-eyed, the ewes are cross-bred and I am just cross ....................

"....dressed?......"

...especially the daughter of Al 'call me flambouyant' Grrassby..........

She was a Merino Cross of course..................

"She has been most intrigued by the state of agitation of our flock of Merinos" said Turbs"Everytime a recycled beercan type of aircraft lands here, they all rush to the gate of the paddock with a faraway look in their eyes and Horace the ram just lays down and groans"

 

"Sometimes I wonder if Elratto..............

"Are they related to the Nut Manatees at Stanley?" asked Livingstone, "because I have been trying to find them since........

"AHmanatee stayed with us in 1986 to find out where he lived. I need to discuss a matter relating to my daughter"

" actually I was about to tell u about my cousin....HEWmanatee ...who....

Have you spoken to anyone yet CJ?

You know me Captain, what goes on in the flight-deck, stays on the flight-deck, said the AHdecky.Sometimes my actions may be questionable, like those of higher rank, but not like when the Brazilion hostie was asked to clean up the coffe you spilt in your lap. I'll not spill the beans on that saga, retorted the bloke in the right hand seat with a naughty wink because i'm also on the return flight:thumb_up:

AHmanatee seemed to be alluding ever so subtly to troubles in another household, so the mid boggles at what might have gone on on the flight deck in terms of language and venom.

"It's not too hard to piece together" said Turbo "they would have been using the most obscene language because Rat's not referred to in Hollywood at "Dirty Rat" for nothing and he doesn't even have a 359 magnum, and of course bottom feeding AHmanatee get off on grass and is a copycat so his English would not have been the King's.

"There was nothing in the foreign hosties actions, nothing at all" he said "I suspect that when she walked in AHmanatee was in the middle of a choice word and got such a shock at the thought of Rat running in his skinny little legs to tell his wife Tuna, that his arm responded like that of an Oran Utang reaching for an escape branch and the coffe was the victim"

"By the way AHmanatee" said Turbo, what's this got to do with a flight deck when you've both just walked out of a hair dressing salon?"

motorcars...

DFI was remote quoting here because he had only ever seen them in photos taken on the mainland/Australia.....but..

And he went on "Those North Islanders are a real pain, where-as, those of us down here in the middle of this map of Tasmania are the heart and soul of RA Aus and of the entire viation movement, not to mention that we are the centre of the Universe. An example of which is, did you know that the United Nations have submitted a proposal to relocate their world headquarters to Fingal?"

"And even more impressiver than that" chipped in another South Islander "The bored RA Aus President lives down here near the bottom of the map, and NASA have announced their impending ................

"....decision to make him Captain of the next Moon landing module, because he was bored with things down here on earth"

Thanks for that. The one I've got is a lot longer and covers more, so I'll still try to shrink it.
