"Don't worry" yelled the Rat, so that he would be heard in Bung Hole and Python Valley "I have found Ahlocks."
"I have just returned from Sydney on the QF and was staring out the window thinking how much better my 230 is, when I saw Goldie's van on the road about 10 kms east of Ladysmith. There was a campfire nearby and he looked quite comfortable, as those Mercs have a heap of room for sleeping in the back".
"Then I saw it "added the Skipper.
"Some cockie had padlocked the gate on that road about a week ago to keep the Torian Lolly Wrapper Fauna Killer out, and Goldie has been stuck there ever since"
When he saw the QF Dashy, Goldie pointed to a sign he had laid out on the ground and made from keys and rivets, which spelt out "Send help, it's a $4.76 Lockwood and they are really hard .................... and land into the wind, you bastard."
So I'll let the coppers know where he is, about Friday.
"In the meanwhilst, does anyone want to come for a spin in a SportSzara? We can pull a 6G turn over the top of him and shower him in rivets."
"I will" said ..............

That's it Tim.In follow up, thanks to Geoff---It's on the Jab LLC web site, but amazingly doesn't cover the J250 as a mandatory AD. Issued in March 2008, it's JSB 020-1. All drivers be aware---this one will kill you---Please update you bird! TimI just located it again this arvo, before I realised that you already had it.
I contacted Jabiru when that came out and they immediately sent the part thru for my 230 so I assume they will do the same for you.
Let us know how you go.

....Note: for occasional readers, Snake Gully was named after Deccadent.....
"Should be Python Gorge" piped up Nanna with a gleam in her eye "And everyone knows that Nanna really only like bad-boyz ... of which Decca is surely one" she added "So my defence in post # 2176 is meaningless. He's as guilty as sin, sin's his middle name and he often thinks it's 'sin ............ but I have to tell ya that I am missing GoldieLocks posts too. Where is he and what's he up to, or did he take it personally when the Rat mistook his Merc for someone else last Friday?"
At that moment Turbs killed another cute furry animal with his faulty mint wrappers, filled his oil tank in the Signature with similarly faulty 2-stroke oil (made from the byproducts from his wrapper manufacture and from when he rendered those possums and wombats in his still at Bangholme) and said ".................

Tim,Hi to all. I'm a 35 year pilot having owned several aircraft types, including a "fling wing". Operating out of my own field on our Ranch, we used an aging C150/160HP for 12 years until choosing a Jabiru J250-SP in Feb of this year. I'm not a blogger, and normally only seek wisdom, but I just made the second emergency of my life when the female side of my passenger belt fell into the open area behind the center console, firmly jamming the bell crank, and preventing any right aileron turns, and barely allowing straight flight. Anyone that's ever tried this can relate-----thank God for a large Ex-Mil field nearby.This made me fully aware there is no guard to protect the bell crank from any loose object---like your small GPS or flashlight. Anyone else ever deal with this? Look for at least a Jabiru warning notice very soon. Any news on differential brakes or slotted flaps? Safe flying to all: TimThere is an AD or an AN that covers this and jabiru have a cover available for the rear of the arm rest that prevents exactly what you are mentioning.
It was issued about 12 - 18 months ago and you will find it on the Jabiru website.
Let me know if you can't locate it and I'll dig out the number for you.
Hope this helps.
Regards Geoff

But enough of songs and stuff.
For the NES'ers have a more pressing matter to consider and that is that Decca's confidence is rising, he is getting more than his share (Dicka?), and he is starting to pick on other contributors to the NES (Picka) ..... which is something that has never happened before.
"Now we know that Decca is not Dense, as he has been a vital member of the Aussie domestic aircrew pool .... which we all know are a finely tuned and skilled group" said the rat in Decka's defence "But you can't blame a bloke for arking up when some back-seat driver calls his machine a barrow, so I have decided that the punishment will be that Nanna is immediately recalled to the Bidgeeland for retraining, some cheese, and .....................

Posumé - the Natural Food available fromThe Rattery
1 - Turbo admits to all deviant behaviour. Where is the fun in that (for us)?
2 - The Rat ignores Ahlocks, even though Ahlow the Harlow had his sign all over his van.
3 - The Rat was daydreaming .... or is perhaps just getting a bit vague.
4 - Tomo the Sapian resists temptation to do anything in the 3rd person. "I like doing it to myself" he says.
5 - Decca goes quiet, or has Nanna snuffed him?
6 - BigPete goes even quieter.
7 - HiHo reads the NES but stays schtumm for much of the time.
8 - The NES moves innexorably towards 3000 posts.
9 - Turbo has gone 3 weeks without an engine failure, but also hasn't used his boat. "Winter saves me a fortune" he says.
10 - Donk gives Wagga a miss, even though Ahlow, Skipper and the Council had a welcoming committee planned.
11 - Tomo will depart Dalby late August to bring the Driphta to Cowra for the Rec Flying knees-up "Will Nanna's Granddaughter be there?" he asks.
12 - "Will there be a B&S Ball in Cowra that weekend?" asks Tubb "Or just a lot of BS?"

"strange person. What would he be doing with all that foil?....."

But the people of Bangholme spoke against the S & G representations.
"We've heard the strange noises from Turbz' backyard and this joint used to just be called "Holme" before Tubb came to town.

They pointed out that independent analysis had shown the artic mints came from a Ukrainian Tartic hooch shop proprietor who never washed his hands before plunging them into the Arctic Mint mix, and since he skun skunks every morning a bacteria .............
Rat now became public enemy No 1 as the tearful residents of the Riverina noticed the dead animals throughout the countryside, and a few days later smelt them.
"That is no way to describe Ahlovachski." said some bloke.
"He is not Ukrainian, he is SerbianArmenianBoznian (and proud of it) and it can be proven that The Ratski was sure that his Tarcticski Mintski manufacturing process was kosha-ski."
But it is not the mints that did the damage, it was the 'Torian supplied wrappers and the fluids deposited therein by The BangHolmeWrapperStuffer that killed the cute and cuddlies .................... and late news now has Magpies dropping off their perches at Pleasant Hills, even more often than Collingwood does.

Turbo to be charged
Excerpt from the Lockhart Daily Blab ...............
Well known 'Torian identity, the TurboDangler, is to be charged following the deaths of lots of cute little Walt Disney style furry animals between Uranquinty and Yerrong Creek over recent weeks.
"There were lots of cute Koalas, Possums, Quokkas, tiny delicate little Joeys, Wombats and assorted other Mars-you-Pials" said a rather butch Police and RSPCA spokesperson "And in each case we have found samples of Turbo's dna."
"What?" exclaimed Tubb's lawyer (who was a bit turned off at that). "Oooooooh yucky pooh." he blurted "At what end of the animal did you find the dna?" he asked.
"It was at the eating end" replied the spokesperson "So we are not charging him with "that", but in each case the poor little cute & cuddly animal had injested a silver and green Arctic Mint wrapper, each of which was covered with some of 'Turbz''' bodily fluids ........... and as a result we are trying to find him. Now we all know that he does "Bang-on" a little, but does anyone know where BangHome actually is? Is it real or a joke? And I ask Tubbo to give himself up immediately".
He will .......
The pen of my Aunt says that Tomo will also be charged with writing everything on the NES in the 1st person. It's not all about you Tomo-the Homo ........... sapian ............................... it's all about us.

So Ahlocks has won the punctuation award for July.
It's always nice to see a new-australian winning such an award.

"....to everyone's surprise, Instructa burst into tears and headed off for Queensland......
.... where Instructa was last seen flying a Drifta with Nanna near Tawoomba practicing downwind landings near a Tracta.
"If I duck over to one of the mines and land this Drifta on a conveya, I wonder if it would take off again if the conveya speed was automatically controlled (slowed down?) to match the speed of the Drifta?" Structa asked, not having searched any earlier threads (for he was merely a GA Type of Structa).
"Nanna in a Drifta in T'woomba?" asked Decca "What am I going to do for my sleeping pill tonight?"
"You'll have to do the same as Turbs does and ........

....While Tubaroonie was watching his radio and taunting the dash driver, he'd failed to notice the swarm of warriors gathering at all points of the compass. :vis:
Littlewrecks 1 straight in for 05 Tallyho!
Littlewrecks 2 straight in for 23 Tallyho!
Littlewrecks 3 straight in for 12 Tallyho!
Littlewrecks 4 straight in for 30 Tallyho!
"He's in for it!!" gulped the local engineer. "Yep..Not a good move to stir up an RPT hive" :scratching head:agreed the refueller. "The baby ones
come at you :splat:from all directions..."I am a new student" said 5000hrsFred "And I have heaps of time on twins on bank runs, so I am now ready to learn to fly RPTs and then work my way up the professional (sic) pilot's food chain."
"Well" said his Instructa "We first have to get rid of all your bad habits, so why are we lining up with the small bit of the windsock pointing at us?"
"That's good airmanship" answered Fred.
"Well you'll never get anywhere in this business like that, so we'll now practice all week to get you used to downwind takeoffs and landings and remember th e pnmonic IYCSUITBIOKFADWLOD. Now write it out 100 times "If you can stand up in the breeze it is OK for a downwind landing or departure".

Now there is nothing harder that the spinner of a Jab, and only one place to hit a Dash 8 and get away with it and that's directly on the nose.........
"Leave that Dashy alone, Tubb" radioed The Rat (even though radio devices are prohibited when the seatbelt light is on) "For I am sitting in 2B on my way back to YSWG and the last thing I need is to be delayed by a Victorian mint sucking (ex)speedway driver in an arctic mint coloured Jabiru, so bugger off north of the river for 10 minutes like the rest of us do."
But in light of Tubb's earlier post, the Victorian rural community was thrown into confusion when they learnt that the earth has tilted since 1886 and true north has moved 3 degrees.
"All fences are the be realigned by 30.06.10" decreed the boss Brumby "As this will be our very own economic stimulous package (and my son Pony fortuitously has a fencing contractor's business under an assumed name and a fictitious shareholding).
"That'll provide a good bit more fencing wire for me to keep my outboards running" said Tubb "While I ......

G'day MD.Sounds good, what are the best options accommodation-wise if planning on staying o/night?There are reasonable Motels in Cowra and I THINK that the SAAA may have a bus service organised, but I'll be camping at the airfield where they had good facilities Semi trailers of ablution facilities etc) last time I was there for this event 2 years ago, and I think Ian will be planning a BBQ and other social stuff for forum members.
Hope this helps and the SAAA normally build up a website for their event about now, so keep an eye out for that as well.

"I really miss BigPete's contributions to the NES" confided El Cappo.
" I miss him too" replied Nanna "But fortunately I have my new friend Decca who performs almost up to BIGPete's standard, because Decca is like a Deccathlete when he gets up a head of steam, and you mention "Tunnel Rats". Well let me tell you about the DeccaRat and the time he ...............

"Well where's Deccadent?" asked Ratatat
"That's another story; he went looking for Nanna, and there she was, the good time girl of the town with "Ready for sex" in her eyes, but "bring a paper bag" on her body (thanks to Bill Bryson).

"The Gumly Servo was for fuel ......... and the lunch was at the Vienese joint in Adelong ......... and extra good it was too" (highly recommended) explained the Editor when he realised that Goldie had got wrong.
"And I can report that it looks like the TurboHolmeBanger and the DickaDintmaker were in town town yesterday as there was a Dessault Falcon 900 3 holer on the apron and switches could be heard being flicked + some bloke was sucking mints and making brmmmm brmmmm noises in the left seat" reported El Ratto with his gold tooth after he taxied past in the SAAB on the way out yesterday.
"This DickaPython bloke is a bit of a goer" said one of the RPT hosties who knew him from the Ansett days "All he talks about are triple Deckers, 3 bungers, Pythons, after flight debauchery and now he is leading my Grandma astray" she added 'I have never been so insulted and abused, unless it was that time at ..............
The computer of my Aunt has a lot of sympathy for Ahlocks, as my Aunt has recently purged 2 laptops of Vista ............... but my Aunt also says that with security going more 'lectronic, and possibly more complex than a brass $4.65 Lockwood, our dearly beloved Ahlow is likely to strike even more difficulty if the Cockies put lectronic locks on their gates. (And ........ does Ahlow's fixed deputer mean that my ratiferous nephew is going to get his Invoice any time soon?)
