BlueAdv. I've sent you a private message with real world info - just been through this whole thing for my model club.

Nev's mention of apathy is across the board in all things, and unsurprisingly in aviation too. Everybody wants to be involved in the thing - sure, as long as somebody else does all the hard work to make it happen for them. "Hey, you'd be great on the committee, you have great ideas and talents!" Usual response: F that! Somebody else can do it! I'm in the other boat, working (unpaid) for my local club and its members. I'm one of a small reliable number of members (10%?) who each have particular skills to keep things ticking along. I think members of clubs/organisations (of whatever flavor) these days just expect to pay their membership fee and have everything delivered on a silver platter to them. We generally see about 10-15% membership at working bees, and the same at meetings. Always the same people too. And always the same 5% of people causing 95% of the problems. Scientists announced today that they have discovered a cure for apathy. However, no one has shown the slightest interest in it.

Sport Aviation - Tocumwal. https://sportaviation.com.au/power_flight/index.php Friend did his TW in Eurofox 2K there, about a year ago. I imagine it's still there.

I see a simple reminder of the event and dates.

Engine didn't even stop! Had to be shut down after the dust settled! (seen elsewhere)

Isn't it interesting that as soon as something happens, petrol and diesel prices go up - even though no new stock from overseas manufactured at higher price has miraculously arrived at the station overnight. AVGAS at my airfield (via a third party provider) has not gone up one cent, and we had a significant quantity delivery just a week ago. All three fuels were already in the country, paid for at the lower price. It is clear that petrol stations are just price gouging - Blind Freddy can see it.

Completely off topic by the third post! New record?

Plan B. Fit a FUMOTO oil drain valve, once.

I have that antenna, 20 years, no issues. (totally outside the aircraft).

I flew a friend's large 4 engine TB3 model at the 2008 South Pacific Scale Masters, we made second place TEAM category. The two underwing Polikarpovs were electric, jettisoned to fly away with two other pilots. I think I had flown this model just once before that event, it was very easy to fly, engines setup to my specifications.

Do any of you RAAus members bother to even read your Tech Manual?

TINY 337. Many many years ago I'd heard of a half scale Cessna 337 ultralight being built up Holbrook way I think. A pair of Rotax 2 strokes either end. Was talking to a friend yesterday and he knew where it was! Melbourne Aquarium in some jungle waterway scene. I've never been - is it still there?

I saw a lady faint and fall onto the baggage carousel at the airport. She was okay, after she finally came around.

DUCT or DUCK, pffftttt. It's just not worth getting your feathers ruffled over.

Though just a mockup engine, I'd almost bet that filter could not be removed with the pipe where it is!
