Captain

There was talk of heading over to Echuca to find you, but we couldn't agree on how far it was. When I heard 70 miles I lost interest :-)

Not to mention a membership of 3580.

How many have competing sites got?

PS ... How many HOT-X buns will be consumed in the tent at Narromine? Lets run a sweep with the proceeds to the scholorship fund. I'll eat 50 in a good cause (& pay for 'em too).

Now

Captain did say "Let's get it on, and I'll take my teeth out if you like."Oh Captain

 

my captain

 

how could you tempt the censorials within

 

with a line like that

 

may your Jab go to flab

 

and your Schleicher flit off to someone nicer

 

who is probably not the son of Burr

 

he being no more than a media blur .

 

 

 

For you sins you are hence forth to be banished back to your very first post in the NES back to the time of propriorty , piety and all things aeronautical, before the moral judgement axe did fall when you did post in a spirit of true aviation terminology

 

 

 

which just proves that a female form wearing a whispy cotton nighty with the moon behind it, will cause .....

So HiHo lands a low blow,

By quoting the Skipper's old lines,

When his literary brill shines,

But Planey's not happy?

So let's make it snappy,

To go back to the old ways,

Of fabric and wire stays,

Of aviatorial writing,

That flows and's exciting,

With lots of matters aviation,

Of Tony Tecnam, Dave the Drifter Dipstick, Julian the Jabiru Jockey (not that there is anything wrong with that), Schlava the SportStar Driver, Rene the Xair Aviator (or trix) ..... and the lot.

But will Planey eventually be happy?

Methinks not a jot.

The Cappo needs a lot of rhyming practice out there in the garden with his pen

Thanks BC.

I thought that inverted flight was prohibited in those things, or do you have an aerobatic Bing?

And thanks for the flight on Sat to experience your prop.

Regards Geoff

PS that is a good shot of ahlocks too. Is he pretending to own that J230, or dreaming of doing so, or is he giving you the "bird"?

“…take Planey down to the local common and introduce him to our Cousin Bindii Patch. That should get him focused, and happy to just put forward positive contributions,” she said.

In more deference to Planey and the good-old-days, where the grass was always greener, the beer was always colder, and there were still water allocations to be wasted ............................... Just then an early prototype of one of the very earliest of Drifters, known by a Mk1 Floater, zoomed into the paddock at a Vne of 22 knots and out jumped Raymond Burr's son.

"You are a fine looking lad (not that there as anything wrong with that)" said a sprightly young Planey "What's your name?"

"Bathurst" he replied.

"Don't worry about him" said a gorgeous young woman who couldn't get enough of the Planedriver "Let's get it on, and I'll take my teeth out if you like."

"Hang on. Your not .................?

Ross & Brent .... and Ken too (sorry about that)

Nice to see you blokes at Yarrawonga on Saturday.

Ahlocks and I had a great flight there and back in company.

But I can't get my photos off my BBerry, so can either of you post a few of the pics that you took?

Regards Geoff

Now - on to my biggest gripe for the whole trip. water. It didn't matter where you went - if you needed a drink of water - you had to buy it. At $4.00 (or more) a 600ml bottle - no drinking fountains anywhere. We carried a fair bit, but we were doing a lot of walking and it was quite warm (and humid).

I recon we spent (seven of us) well over $140.00 just for bottled water over the week. $140 dollars.

............ so in deference to Planey's request that we go back to the olden days of the NES ...... Julie Anthony rose from her walking frame and sallied forth with a rendition of "The Hills are alive with the sound of water being bottled".

"Hang on there, you-all" said Steve's missus "We'll make more if Bindi sings that ..... let's rename this stuff "Bindi Water" and we'll make the bottles in the shape of a croc or a ray"

"Anything associted with a cute obnoxious little tacker will make you a fortune and get you whatever you want" was the advice from a marketing consultant.

"My name is Bindi" came a voice from the Riverland "And so is my daughter .... and my granddaughter too.

"Don't you know any other names" asked Planey (who is ever the critic).

"My son is called (3 corner) Jack" she replied "But I've only got one eye" said the senior Bindi-Eye (tee hee) with her teeth back in.

"And wee will .........................

The cute and cuddly water sales script is in the garden where Bindi is reading with my Aunt

Weird! Just got a grumblegram from the Sirs upstream reinforcing the need to take extra CARE when forcing entry a few minutes ago. Coincidence!? :confused:....

"Not sure I like the sound of that" said the Lass

"What, the forced entry bit, or the bit about taking care?" asked the Slowvacuum?

"Erm .... let me think" she replied 'It's the ........

Can't keep up with morning people .... Back to play after another six cups of coffee..:yin_yan:

And to think that the Ahlow-vackian is flying tomorrow morning just after sparrow-phart.

Methinks he will be given a wide berth (not that there is anything wrong with that).

Is THAT why those cunning Czechs put coffee cup holders in those SportSzaras?

Can't keep up with morning people .... Back to play after another six cups of coffee..:yin_yan:

"Well, well, well" said Nanna. "I note that Tubb and Le Crapper are dead set early performers, so it looks like a triple-bunger is on the cards for good old Nanna and I'll have one of each of 'em for breakfast, dinner and tea. Now all I have to do is keep my Daughter and Grand-Daughter on the outer. I wonder if I throw SlartiHotPants to them, he can keep them both busy (aviation term)?"

"And I am John's mum too" she added, just to spice things up a bit.

My Aunt thinks that if your house is going to catch fire in YSWG, you had bettter hope it happens in the arvo.

It has been roumoured that cheetahs are pretty good at ploughing furrows on the beach does that qualify as a farm implement.or are they merely spotty pussies?...........

If they keep being used in this way, perhaps in future they will each come with a Certificate of Airworthiness AND a Primary Producer Certificate.

Just think of the tax advantages.

I can throw in some extra words about my brillant carbon fibre propellor whilst I'm at it, whatever gets the 912 boy's blood boiling.

Be there.

I would like to have a good chat about your prop, Brent, now that you have a few hours on it. See you there tomorra.

Regards Geoff

I knew there was something suspicious about that Cloudsucker.

"Don't besmirch the Cloudsucker, as well, Tubby" said SlartiHotPlate. "Admonistration requires you to answer the very serious questions raized by the Skipper in his last post ..... you besmircher"

I am not saying that you ‘do’ sleep with Thomas and I am not saying you ‘do not’, but the fact remains that if he was sleeping in his own bed he would have found the gravy ladle by now.

............... not that there is anything wrong with that.

So the NES has deteriorated into wise tales and ladle-iferous anecdotes that seriously besmirch Tom, John & gravy.

For the good of mankind, will the the Tubboplunger please clear up whether Tom & John were actually "at it", and do they ever use gravy as part of their technique (or the ladle .... even).

And while the Plunger has been recounting wise tales and true, ahlocks has been untrue to his mates in the NES and has been bonding (closely) with another firey by the perhaps apt forum name of cloudsuck-er, where they have been discussing the merits and pitfalls of the relevant legislation and in particular section 25. (Which was full of pitfalls when I drafted it, never went thru a proper peer (or pier) review, and never got edited properly before it was enacted).

What is the world cuming to?

Although GrandePierre would be so proud ..... if'n he was still around. "I can just hear him now saying "I'm back with a ...........

My Aunt's gravy ladle went missing from the garden too and Tom never returned it.

PS ... And what was John's Mum doing anywhere near Tom's bed, let alone inserting proof marked kitchen utensils into it?

PPS ... Do you perhaps suspect that John's Mum and Tom have been having an affair and she is jealous that Tom & John get on so well (not that there is anything wrong with that) in their cozy well furnished flat in Kings Cross?

PPSS ... Is John's Mum a bit of a bag who is about to lose her young lover and she'll do anything to keep him ..... even to the extent of ruining John's life?

PPPSS ... Is Tom actually BigPete?

PPPSSS ... Is John's mum actually the Riverland Nanna with fancy makeup and a better bra?

Conclusion ... Tubb's story has raised more questions than it answers.

Breaking News.... Fellow NESSERS (including those in the First Class Lounge) condemned to forever clean up our act, just take a look at what Admin, yes THAT Admin has sneakingly posted under the disguise of NEWS!

Where ..... what ...... can't find it. Quick. Can you give us a link?

Or are you referring to the Thread about the Virgin pulling 5 Boeings? (numerous aviation terms) (out in the garden?)

"Here Pussy, Pussy" called Slarti,

"What do you want, Big Boy" said Nanna "And are you aware that you are here, all defenceless and alone in the NES, where me and my daughter could take advantage of you and nobody could hear you scream ........... "do it again"?"

"Don't forget me" said the Riverland Lass "As with Bingles off-limits I wouldn't mind spending some time with a spunk who owns a Cheetah and hasn't bent it for a while. Le Crepe called yours a big Pussy because of the graphics, so have a gander at this and tell me what you think" she added.

"Oh myyyyyyy" said SlartiHotPants 'I want my ...................

and a blurred image shot out knocking Slarti over. He felt the trickle of blood, reached up, and found his throat had been cut from ear to ear, for TunnelMouse had been trained to kill and came from Echuca....

"Hang on" said the ButtCrack. 'That's not blood, that's some of Geoff's Mildura finest Republical Reserve Good Drop heavy but smooth Dark Red, and it tastes pretty good too. But what's this? I see that P*ssPotPete has it in a 3 litre Camelback under his shirt, so he's not a trained killer, he's a trained squirter and a ..............

There was silence for a moment, then the door opened just a crack and a withered, hairless, little hand poked out....

How do I find one? (simple steps please, I'm just a learner)

What? A lunch or an emoticon?

Maybe just use one of these ;):black_eye::raise_eyebrow::clown::pig:?

Go down to the section below your post headed Miscellaneous Options. Do you perhaps have box 4 ticked and you are disabling them?

Aw you guys, I have to agree with the Captain that my comments were probabily 'one eyed' and 'biased', and I did feel just a little bad after posting them. Any plane with any engine that returns it's occupants safely back to the ground (on fire or not)is fine in my books. I must say though that like some fish species up here lately, the Jabbies just aren't biteing like they used to!.. It is of course nothing more than an 'informed debate', and that's what this forum is about anyway.I must agree with Captain and his comment about some Jabbies owners apparently having a bad case of 'tinkeritis', and some of them remind me unfortunatly of those in past years, who insisted in perservering with some VW derivities, myself included I must admit. There are those who just have a bad case of "tinkeritis" with any engine, and are often the type of people who shouldn't be let within 10 yards of an engine anyway.

See Mike/Ross.

We are all mates here (at least until next time).

Self-moderation rocks.

Regards Geoff

Sorry to interrupt you guys playing in the garden with Nanna but I never hid the smilies - is there a problem I am unaware off?

Don't worry Ian. Tubb does the same thing to emoticons that he does to outboards + he may not have been peddling fast enough at the time that he wanted to use them.

Humor him, like the rest of the NES'ers have secretly agreed to do.

Regards Geoff

McLocks might have been cocking his gun too ..... in my Aunt's garden ..... in readyness for his J hunting trip on Saturday

EXPLANATION - The Crapper had a totally whitty and erudite 3 or 4 paras prepared in this post #1325 and the dill pushed edit instead of quote and deleted the lot.

What a mug (aviation term).

And his creative juices had all be squeezed out so he couldn't do it again.

Bet you are all giving thanks, eh?

But where is BigPete who was "Back with a Vengeance" which turned out to be "back with a Ve" (2/3 of an aviation term).

There is a fair difference in conditions between Bundaberg and the west of Ireland, so some rejetting might be expected, but once running OK I would rather fly the thing than mess with it.

Sea level is about the same in both places and there are plenty of J's 2200 & 3300 engines that are operating successfully in cold areas here and elsewhere here with crappy weather at times that might approximate your own.

Slarti is one who operated his 2200 out of Adaminaby and Cooma for a while which are both up near our Snowy mountains (hills to everyone else) from strips up at about 3000 ft amsl or so and occasional snowy type conditions/temps.

Based on my experience flying behind both the 2200 & 3300, if you have a genuine issue I would check that tube as previously discussed and make sure it will not crush under any circumstances, also have the diaphragm checked and if they are both OK + you have no induction air leaks and the latest jet/needle kit where your EGT's and CHT's comply with J's latest advice on their website, you should have a good result.

If that still doesn't do it for you, check all aspects of your particular carby & installation.

You are the 1st I have heard of anyone contemplating changing jets between summer & winter and my tip to you is that isn't right or necessary.

All of this, of course, assumes that you have the right prop and if you have the engine in a non J aircraft there may be issues to be addressed there, but I'd be surprised if J weren't very helpful to you in getting that about right, as you wouldn't be the 1st.

Best regards Geoff

Awww C'mon Captain...here's me waiting for this thread to fire up and all you can muster is that pussy cat response to someone who's had a go at Jabs!! Do a proper job on him....please:cool:

That pussy-cat response is called "reasoned and informed debate".

I thought I would get a medal for my restraint and professionalism.

Also thought this might qualify me for a deputy assistant Administratotor's honourarium.

I must be getting soft, eh?

Regards Geoff

Nice to hear that I'd be barely adequate in the non-jabiru conversation department. What if I just talk about my engine?Yep - should be there. Got an oil change to do before I leave. Should be able to get there middayish. Might have time to put the wheel spats back on too. Have to engineer a new way to attach them to my new Matco wheel axles. Had a couple of stripped threads on the outer attachment points. See? Boring already.

Not boring, Ross.

I'm rivetted (to use an NES expression).

Talk of spats, stripped threads & other airplane stuff is what makes the world go around.

Look forward to meeting you (finally).

Regards Geoff
