"Pigmy Glider entres are a big seller" explained Gordon Rammersy "As their little legs look just like a handle after you cook 'em, so it saves loads of cutlery.

El Cappo added "And I'm not surpreied at Bryon's attempt to direct forum members away from the advantages of Possum Fur, with or without teeth and claws in place, for all NES'ers must surely be aware by now that "Bryon" is just an abbreviation for Bry-Nylon, which is the traditional material for seat covers, and for which sales have recently slumped in favour of ......................

Unappealing to some, but possum boots are the only way to fly. Not only are they warm but they can be used for stew when you get to your destination. If you are'nt hungry then shove them under the wheels to stop the plane from rolling away. Works better than lizzards as they make a bigger bump on the ground and their tails do'nt fall off, leaving you with an embarassing situation with the RSPCA.

But for those with a few extra $'s and patience, while possum boots are great nothing can beat boots made from those cute little pigmy glider possums.

And while it takes a lot more thread to sew their tiny pelts into a set of Ugg Boots, and they fight like crazy when you try to drag them out of their tree trunks, they are as warm as toast, they taste just like chicken, and also offer the additional aviation advantage that your boots will glide if you have a FAT with your engine or anything else (or at any time).

If this happens, your boots will take over and .................

Oh but then, a voodoo taunting, 1st, 2nd and 3rd person master piped up... "Good day children, the name is Ms Monty, School Principal, and I shall tear you apart until your English skills are perfect!"

Principal Monty was fresh outta jail, and ready to make a change to the world!

 

But then, a Stanza Hero jumped on in, "Montys English skills are nothing to a Stanza Hero!"

 

The epic fight started, punches flying everywhere.....

.... which caused a new Stanza, or is it a Chapter, of the NES.

For Ms Monty said, in a stuck up school-teacher way, "For someone to call themselves Stanzahero is a little base, and any well edumacated person would know that he should be renamed "Canto's a male protagonist" (or at least that is what my thesaurus recommends) ..... and as for ahlocks" she added "He should be called .......

Mick,

I was very interested to look at them if they can be proven to reduce CHT and EGT at equivalent or better performance and fuel usage.

But I will not take it further until there are heaps of favourable reports on their performance and reliability .... and even better would be an endoirsement from Jabiru (although that might be asking a bit much).

And I mean genuine fair-dinkum reports from multiple reputable owners with whom I can have a chat, and who are proven not to just be sudonyms of the manufacturer's employees, as appeared to be the case on this forum earlier this year.

On reflection after I saw them at Temora, I'm not sure I need an extra cable and mixture adjustment, nor to part with a $ grand, unless the performance and benefits are clearly demonstrated to be so great.

Bugger.

He was a brave bloke, and a worthy member of this site.

AAAAaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh.............triple bugga.....

 

 

Original quote by tomo

 

Haha, Doubt locksy will help stop it, he's the king of rhymes...

 

Resist he tried with all his might, tossed and turned all through the night,

 

to fend off taunts and any thoughts of rhyming.

 

 

 

"That bugger Byron, he's set the bait. The jobs to do will have to wait,

 

But I’ll just sit back and pause for perfect timing"

 

 

 

As Locks began to write some verse, nothing rude, obtuse or terse,

 

the Rat stepped in and fired the opening shot.

 

 

 

"It's not the verse that you should hate, and I'll shove Crudd's tax fair up his date,

 

‘cuz I need a rotoraxe to make the Jab real hot.

 

See, I need a donk that goes and goes, to keep the plastic on its toes,

 

but since his mining tax, my dream is shot."

 

 

 

Well just between me and you, I guess poor Bryon kinda knew,

 

That his taunt might end up being quite the blunder,

 

Said the lad with the grin as he waltzed on in, "He's a drummer...is it any wonder?"

 

 

 

"You see lyrics aren't their strongest point, it's pounding that's their thing."

 

So he gave him a poke with an old skins joke, just to wound him in the wing"

 

 

 

Bryon sprang back in dread and fear, "That really hurt, I’ve shed a tear,

 

What truely brought that on?” “Oh, it’s not true” said Wiggles Sue, he’s just playing with your scone.

 

 

 

“Now’s the time to pounce” Locks thought, “While Bryon’s on the run.”

 

But when he went to make a verse, he found that he had none!

 

 

 

That’s odd...

 

All hail the king for he has spoke

 

let no-one doubt it ...or they'll cop a poke

 

It is time to move on....to greener grass

 

so, as they say in the classics

 

:off topic:And it came to pass......

 

..... that El Ratto said ..... "Brit a shick, Bryon,

 

After a tome like that, I'm giving up try'n".

 

My Aunt said "Welcome back Planey".

 

This really gets up my nose,I dont like prose,

 

but worst of all and most of the time,

 

I dont like prose disguised as rhyme...........

 

Oh bugga.......

..... Bryon's cry'n about rhym'n,

When he could be somewhere else on this Forum lie'n about fly'n,

Because prose,

Gets up his nose,

Which is preferable to snorting coke ..............although I prefer Pepsi-Max.

While Rudd's new mining tax,

Means that the Rat can't afford a new 914 Rotax.

But I'll be try'n.

Oh bugga ....

Sorry Rat, my heart is broken because "The Rat" has spoken. I sit here on my chair boo hoo sniffy sniffy

Come on Wiggsy, your must be joke'n.

For while your heart might be broken, it's just a token,

Whereas we could just be shallow and writing about poke'n or stoke'n, then ..................

Hey Cap

There is no debate.

 

The discussion starts after the pain subsides.

 

and clear heads prevail...........

Sorry CFI, but I respectfully disagree.

A number of times I have seen well meaning contributors, or those wishing to hush things up, plead for a lack of discussion after an accident, and sometimes doing so in the names of families and friends (some have in the past claimed that family were reading posts even when they weren't forum members) ......... and then nothing.

If the accident aircraft was indeed the one in the You-Tube exposes, then the pilot was quite willing to put it all out-there and as such it is worthy of discussion.

I am happy to leave it for the moderators to clamp down on anything distasteful in this thread and others.

I have said it before in one of these discussions of an accident, if I ever go in, don't let any well meaning forum member suppress any discussion of what happened. Unless of course I have been doing aero's for months, perhaps even without an endorsement.

Regards Geoff

Unfortunately these matters run almost to a script....An accident occurs.....

 

a couple of posts appear on the forums...quoting the ABC...or Blah Blah Times...

 

then a few people hint they may know those affected...

 

then another news item appears that suggests a particular location/aircraft type....

 

then the shrillness increases..

 

now everyone wants to post condolences...

 

then someone says..i was at xxx and that same a/c did....

 

and someone else says...i agree...not good airmanship....

 

then someone says....i've found that a/c on utube..

 

then lots of ooohs and aahhs about the content of the videos...

 

someone says...i knew it would happen....

 

many agree....(who did something about it?)

 

then the speculation of wat actually happened takes over.......

 

noone was there...but many know....(or do they).....

 

Sorry boys and girls, I think these sorts of accidents need to be reported and then everyone needs to take a deep breath (contain their enthusiasm) and let the people with the job of finding out the why/what and where, get to work.

 

There will be an inquest/coronial enquiry...the Coroner will examine all the evidence and recieve advice from expert witnesses....perhaps we should save our "post morteum" until then...

Then someone urges that open debate & discussion be stifled.

I have the G-meter active on the screen of my Dynon 180 and have never seen more than 1.6 +ve or 0.9 -ve.

But then again, I just fly it like I was taught to.

Maybe I should make a You-Tube Video or two, and ramp it up a bit.

The challenge has been issued by young tomo.......can locksy resist the urge to rhyme long enough to save the NESsers...........i_dunno

...... and Goldy has asked me to submit the following on his behalf:

I decided to fly even though the weather was Iffy,

However wearing my best flying suit I was still looking spiffy,

And if I was in a 230 with Rod in the right seat, could it be said that I was flying with a Stiffy?

Wiggsy need not answer because .........

=Tomo the young 1st person enthusiast;198668] I can assure you that ..... I get bored stiff.

 

"Warning, warning warning .... lock up your daughters." said Nanna, as Tomo has reverted to the 1st person again. "Now come here, young Tomo" she added "And let's see how bored you can be when I read you the Rotax Instruction Manual (in Austrian) and................

....visit for a day, for when it is nice one day and great the next it is a hard place to leave in a hurry.

"And don't forget there is more to Qld than the Gold/Sunshine coast!" Said O'Dalby

 

"Just you wait when we get 40,000 gas wells, and 350K Megalitres of salt water on the surface annually... we'll be the equivalent to lake Eyre with similarities to the American Salt flats..."

..... because with all that salt around, people won't be able to recognise our white shoes and our Safari Suits (which are latest fashion up in Queen's joint)" said Russ H.

And it came to pass that a list was posted on the NES, on "REASONS WHY YOU MIGHT STAY IN QUEEN'S LAND FOR MORE THAN 1 DAY" which was kicked off by El Crappo as follows:

• The Barramundi Fishing (although it is just as good in the NT).
   
  
• The Lark Quarry Dinosaur Tracks.
   
  
• Lisa Kurry.
   
  
• Your car or bike breaks down.
   
  
• You run out of money and your mum/mistress/wife/partner(not that there is anything wrong with that) won't send you any more.
   
  
• It was the Queen's Land Mardi Gras .... and all of them went to it (in costume and in character).
   
  
• The Queen's side of the border is shut for the sabath, and they won't let you out.
   
  
• ........................
   
  

or as they say down south........"bloody northeners"............

...... or as they say even further south "bloody north Islanders".

So as GoldyLocks and the Three Bears (MrH, Wiggsie and Bryon) take over the NES, The Rat takes the opportunity to point out the facts of life & geography to the Young Enthusiast:

• While Tomo posts, in another place, about Mothers Day, he will understand why The Rat wanted to borrow his at Temora for a few hours, as ElRatski will visit his mum this morning, where she rests under a nice pine tree down near the bottom paddock.
   
  
• Tomo should bear in mind that many contributors to the NES have devoted their lives to a dedicated attempt to try to manufacture Mothers, over many years. (Some may even be nominated for an AM, such is the magnitude of their efforts).
   
  
• "Mexico" is Victoria (as proven by the way that Jose Turbo hates the term), and they are very useful because they come up here and do the jobs that are below the adonis-like New South Welshmen, (and their womens are beautiful when they are young).
   
  
• On the other hand, Queen's Land is a bit like Canada. A good place to park a few French Speakers, nice to go for a holiday at the right time of the year, but not a place that you would want to ...................
   
  

Geoff,How is the planning coming along?

 

I have a work do at Alice Springs early October and am toying with the idea of flying the Savvy.

 

Will start a thread re that as am looking for advice from those that have.

 

Hope your trip is looking good.

 

Regards,

There was a version of Australian Story a few weeks ago where that bloke from Flinders or King Island flew to Ayers Rock in what looked like one of your fine machines, so it is do-able.

Perhaps see if you can find a link to a record of his route, or dig out a copy of that Skippy Story and give him a call.

It seems that once you are out over the country where the road-houses have strips, it is relatively easy to just taxi up to the bousers.

Hope this helps.

“Wonder what happened to them?” i_dunno mentioned GoldiLocks (the third) as he carefully catalogued the artefacts littered throughout the dig.

“Not real sure.” :ne_nau:answered the grinning archaeologist and great grandson of the renowned Cecil Plains enthusiast. “The legend says they had to learn CASA speak :DevilDog:during the great CTAF change in 2010 and it destroyed their ability to pun.”

 

“Hard to believe that a fancy new way of saying ‘look out here I come’ () caused so much unrest.” :gerg: mused goldi(III) as he picked out some old rivets and bits of melted Tupperware from the sieve.

 

“Wow! This looks like some leftovers from the experiment to make jabirus look more like aeroplanes ()

G'day Mark,

Planning is coming along nicely.

There is a chance that another 230 might come along and we are working on that, plus I have a friend with a Robo 44 who has started his planning for Wagga - Coober Pedy - Ayers Rock & back, although it looks like he needs to track Mildura/Port Augusta/Coober Pedy for fuel due to his range, whereas I plan Wagga - Broken Hill - Coober Pedy for fuel (via Lake Eyer/William Creek).

I'm just chasing Avgas and I suspect that your need for PULP will be an interesting other challenge, so will be interested to follow your other thread.

Will start next week on the detailed planning of the rest of the circumcission after Ayers Rock.

Regards Geoff

Great post Dexter.

Congratulations on that and commiserations on the rest of it.

Regards Geoff
