Captain

Hey Doggie,

A few of us were going to flit over from Wagga, but the weather was terrible on Saturday.

This is the 2nd year, from memory, that the Tumut weekend has copped it. What a shame.

Regards Geoff

So Tomo comes up with dropping the pidgini Japanesi and introduces the Right Rothers, sending the whole NES into a time warp.

Then Nobu piped up "Don't sweat it, Deccs me old mate, because that time warp means that me and the boyz can be smarter this time and give WWII a miss. We'll duck across the border into Korea, get an apprenticeship with Kia, drink Tia Maria, and .............

....install a conveyor belt in the Jumbo jet! :scratch head: (Now that's definitely back to the roots..)

Ahlow, having finally got around to doing some book work instead of chasing Pprune identities :patch: and finding any other convenient excuse not to do it , rubbed his hands together.

 

"Send Latto big bill for fix lock so can now afford to go Cowla!

 

Tee Hee! Lat may be too broke to go now...."

 

=============

 

Some noisy, go fast things will be in Temora on the 5th & 6th of September.....

"Big Bill? ............ What? ............. How is the Lat going to do Cowla and Temola and Winton and ................

"So if the Wright boyz put the Flyer on a conveyor belt in a Jumbo that departed LAX at 05.17 pm on a Wednesday in September, and if they held their mouths just right, would it stop some forum members from sticking it up 'em for not using a 912 in it?" wondered a fair minded forum member.

"It would ...............

The Rat is having palpitations out in the garden, worrying about the Czech's bill, whether the Czech will take a cheque, and whether the Czech will check the signature on the cheque .... but in the meantime planning to go to Temora with the then rich Ahlow to see the fast noisy things next weekend.

Hello everyone, today is my first day in planning a trip from sydney bankstown airport to ayres rock in a J230. I am at the initial track planning and have all the WAC charts on the floor. So far I'm thinking ysbk to broken hill, then onto Cooper peedy, then onto ayres rock. What do you think? What would you suggest? What route would you take? Where would you stop for fuel? Overnight? I'm planning on taking 2 weeks over christmas. I have no leave so it has to be over Christmas. What leg length would you plan in a j230? Initial track so far- ysbk-orange-parks-condobolin-Ivanhoe-broken hill-Leigh creek-maree-william creek-Cooper peedy-indulkana-mt cavanagh-curtain springs-ayres rock.

 

Thanks in advance.

I'm hoping to get away in my 230 late next week to do a 5 - 7 day sweep around the Dinosaur discoveries and displays in central Qld (Longreach, Lark Quarry, Winton, Hughenden etc).

I reckon that 2.5 - 3 hours are nice easy stints in a 230 ... while 4.5 hrs is manageable if you HAVE to.

Look forward to seeing a report on your trip.

Regards Geoff

.......start at the beginning! (of what??i_dunno)

Once upon a time there was this dude by the name of Orville (aviation term) who had a bright idea (yeah? flying term of some sort I'm sure?)...

 

so he went to see his brother by the name of Wilbur (aviation term) (or was it other way around?!) and they argued all day long about how they should get this flying (aviation term) thing off the ground (one of aviation's great attributes).... so using the "two tired" gained knowledge they started..........................

.......... getting ready to fly to the Cowra fly-In (aviation term) where they expected to have a gay old time (1920's term for "fun").

"But strike a light" said Orville "The Pacific wet bit is going to be a bit of an issue, seeing as so far we have just flown a bit less than the length of a Jumbo (Jet) ... (whatever they are?)"

"No wuckers" responded Wilbur "We'll ...................

...Doggy Bag"

"Fair suck of the sauce bottle, there, TurboBanger" responded Acki (who doubles as KR in his blonde wig during the week to get some cash) "That's no way to talk about the Nanna that we all know and love. If you expect to come to the Cowla Fri-In (and get out again) you should aporogise and come up with some aviation ditty so that the NES can get back to it's loutes."

"I agree" lesponded Latto, who was outlaged at the way that Nanna was being treated by the BangholmeDeniglator "You had better get this NES back on track, maaate, as both Dickher and Ahlokohovic apprear to have buggered off to a point where one or both of them have been p-p-p-pruning in my Aunt's g-g-g-g-garden near her p-p-p-p-p-pen."

"OK" responded the BangholmeE-rudeWrecker "I'll ................

".....Rots" he said, then we can bag anyone.

So while El Ratto is up in As-wellwoomba, and wondering whether he should go to Dalby on a ToMo hunt, Nanna has taken a-fence and replied "Did you say that you want me to put a bag over my head?"

When Turbs replied with the old offensive joke "No, I just want you to meet one of my mates, I don't want a .................."

Im in weather depending cant fit any camping gear in with me + mate and 100 lt fuel can any one reccomend reasonablr motel within walking distance.Dave

I think I recall that the SAAA site (link below) mentioned that they will operate a bus to/from town. It might be worth a phonecall to check, just in case.

Hope this helps.

"....had no time for people who got beaten and always blamed their engines"

"It's the Aussie way" commented Nobu who showed a previousry unknown insight into the Skiip psychy "To pray the brame game ..... and to then spill your guts on facebook or some simirar inane Look-@-me website."

"But we'll make a fortune out of 'em when they front here late Sept" responded Shintaro "We'll humour them while they eat our tucka, and then we'll retire to the Liverrand, get mallied, settle down, have some nipppers of our own, and build a prane. It will be a ....................."

..."castrated" continued Mr Aussie in the Aussie way.

"That fun-neeee" said Acki "As TurboSani always lefer back to Jaberloo, because nuts on engine mounts in Jaberloo are all castleated. He must work for Stiffy, or he might just be a flee agent. What're you quarifications, Tubb?"

Turbs thought for a moment, drew himself up to his full height, pulled in his stomach, puffed out his chest, got a cramp and said "I was a leading light in the speedway caper, I used to be quick, and I ............"

"....Instructions say don't touch nothing!.

"No it doesn't" said McJockLocks "I have just read mine again and it says (and I quote) "All owners must take note zat zey must not touch anything on zis engine, or zey vill be put in cattle wagons und taken to zee Axe Retraining Camp".

"We'll do the same thing" said a local Aussie manufacturer and updated their manual to read as follows "Listen you blokes. Stop dicking around with our engines or we'll rip your bloody arms orf. We are sick of drongoes, amateurs and old bike mechanics changing stuff and blaming us. This is not a CB250. We get the blame even when some dill has a prop strike 250 hrs before the engine has a bit of a whoopsy. Anyone caught being a dork and doing this will be ........."

"come to Cowla Fry In as main entertainer"

"Good idea" said Taka " but not enough pirots say they are going yet" he said "Although Lat may pay her fee.

 

"She not come to Cowla for you Aki, she too busy talking to American dlug addicts."

"And I can see why they like them too" said AhLo to ToMo "Because the Dlugg is a fine aircraft, manufactured in Eastern Europe (is there still such a thing) from russian beer cans. The big thing about the Dlugg is that they use flush rivets, and they therefore go like a cut cat when fitted with the RotaryAxe turbo brrm brrm. It's amazing, but they almost go as quick as a J230 (however I'm waiting for some flack as I know what happens here to people who don't like J's) and they can be maintained by 70 year old motorcycle mechanics."

"That's me, maaaate" piped up Nobb "As I was an apprentice at the Honda factory when old man Honda was a nipper, and before they designed that fine aircraft called the .................

"...a couple of days. He's teaching me how to sing."

"Lat, why do you want to rern how to sing" asked Aki

 

"I don't said the Rat, but Turbo said if I can't keep an engine in the Jabaloo for more than 400 hours I may as well learn opera".

"I think Oprah is hot" said Acki "And I'd not only rike to rearn about her, but I'm an exprorer too. I wonder if she would .......?"

".... a Mazda RX7, with that fine blend of Japanese Chassis with that great Wankerl engine that should be a shoe-in as an aviation engine" said El Crapp.

"How long are you likely to be stuck in Bangholme listening to the Pranner bang-on?" asked Acki.

"I reckon it'll be ............

"What about the engine?" asked Nob.

Rat turned around, and his gold tooth gleamed.

 

"Stick with me and you'll wear diamonds" he said

Geoff, You might want to check that fires will be allowed in the camping area ?Regards, Tony.

I spoke with them a couple of weeks ago.

Fires & cooking are permitted in the camping area, but not in the aircraft parking area if owners are camping under their wings.

So if you can borrow a 44 locally it will give forum members somewhere to hang out each evening.

Hope you can help as it knocks my C of G around with a 44 in the back of my 230.

I am really looking forward to seeing the Brumby factory and hopefully having a test flight that weekend.

Regards & thanks

Geoff

Then she added "What sort of reception do youze reckon that The Nob can expect in Zeehan? And do you reckon that the tin in Zeehan might have a galvanic action on the Szara so that it will ............."

"They Australian women" said Aki.

"You're right" said Taka, let's get back to The Plan

 

"You think we should stop at Darby, see Tomo?"

 

"Maybe, said Taka. Japanese sounding name and he also squinty eyed, and he mechanic. Not good one, but maybe check aircraft for crossing of Tolles Strait Irand by Irand."

"Stone the clows" responded The Nobu who was not the sharpest Katana in the LanBuild "Why you going via Darby? I'm gunna go the scenic route via The Prace of many Clows, The Lock (unless Pete has mined it all by now), and I have always wanted to see the Bangholme Bunghole bang-on at a Pubic Meeting, so I'll perloin the Locky's Szara and feed his Gee Pee Ess with the waypoints of Bangholme, Zeehan, Strahan, Mawson, Lima, MC, Denver, Vancouver, Pailinville, Kamchutka and then back home.

Here's some numbers,none of our Jabiru engines even got to 400tt before needing major attention.The man doing the L2 job is a motorcycle mechanic with 40+ years up his sleeve.All sheduled maitenance was carried out every 25 hours.What are your qualifications Turboplanner?

A Motorcycle Mechanic with 40 + years experience.

Now that's a stunning qualification.

Where can I get his number?

He must be a real whizzzz ............... whose J engines, that are in his L2 care & maintenance, can't get to 400 hrs ............ and you say none of them got there?.

I'd stick with him if I were you.

You are right. He must be a really great mechanic, and this wouldn't have anything to do with him .............. but maybe you should get him to call one of the non L2's and non geriatric bike spanner-men who have their J engines well past that number without issues.

The Rat turned and snarled so hard his gold prosthesis fell out.....

"Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzz" said Nanna "I didn't know you could get a prosthetic one of THOSE ....... and gold too ...... I thought all you had was a gold tooth."

"And watch this" responded the Rat as a struck a Herculean poze, with his tooth gleaming so that the sun glinted off both ends.

"Where have you been all my life .... c - c - call my Daughter & the Lass and t - t -tell them to high tail it up here" she said as she took another peak and fainted.

"We don't stand a chance" said Acki to Tacki.

"Not so sure" lesponded Tacki, who ...........

"That's given me a ripper idea" said Acki "We'll introduce Pidgin with Artic Mint Sauce when the LAA rittle prane guys come to town".

The 'Lat" stopped abruptly as he realised he'd started to list the Breakfast Menu of his own establishment.

"However" added Nob "But you wouldn't believe what we have found inside most of the pidgins."

"What's that?" responded Nanna

"Well" replied The Nob "We had a howler of a sou-wester thru here a couple of weeks ago and since that time, we are finding that most of the pidgins have injested used Artic Mint wrappers."

"Sitlep!, Sitlep!" called Aki

"What Sitlep?" asked Taka

 

"Get from Americans, Can't rick 'em, join 'em" he said

 

"Gather round boys, have some Intel....and don't ask what intel is Taka"

 

"Big Lat with wrong tail, whiskeys, no hair on bores send message.

"STOP doing that Michio! go outside - we call you Srati if you keep that up"

"Lat's J'loo onry win if cirles are anti-crockwise" observed Nanna, who had fronted via a side door in a low cut Geisha's outfit.

"I think she is chicken dressed up as Sashimi" whispered Tachi "But it's been a while, so I would take her down by the liverbanks of the Rauchran in my Ute and see what happens" he added.

"Did you notice Tomo the Homo (sapian)'s rast post" asked Nobu, who added "Tee Hee ... I make bugle joke ... tee hee. It sound like he has a severe cold or a huge adedoid probrem (a bit rike Cheetah with no fraps)".
