  1. Channel 9 reporting a B17 and Kingcobra crashing at a Dallas air show. Both aircraft into the dirt. Lots of grief for many people.
  2. Weren’t GM making aircraft engines during WW11?
  3. The replica is steered by wing warping. The pilot is prone and head first from memory. Not for me at any price.
  4. I was at Narromine when Keith Englemann, an very experienced test pilot flew the replica and it frightened him. He flew along the strip, had the aircraft manually turned around and flew a some way back down the strip. That was enough for him.
  5. Historically it was part of Brittany France. King Arthur and the knights of the round table tales all were situated in France.
  6. I was taught East is least (1 and odds), West is best 2 and evens).
  7. As part of the transfer process a report on flying the aircraft is included.
  8. As per the VicRoads site trucks are different to light vehicles. You can overhang 1.2m over the front but nothing to the rear. Small trailers also cannot have rear overhang.
  9. In Victoria nothing is allowed to project beyond the vehicle. This is enforced in some areas by the RTA. In the Kyneton area you can’t have a plastic down pipe sticking out the back of your vehicle. The RTA training facility is here. No rule of thumb (4 feet or 1.2m for younger folk) allowed.
  10. Aren’t eye tests covered by Medicare? I have never paid for mine in 20 years of going to glasses.
  11. Good old technique Old Koreela. To explain it for city folks, if you place one end of a green grass stem onto the electric fence, if the fence is active you will feel small impulses rather than the whack which occurrs if you make direct contact.
  12. RF, maybe the 529 vs 592 is a slip of the keyboard?
  13. The ABC is reporting a fatal aircraft into powerline incident at Bowenville.
  14. https://www.grays.com/sale/9031932/aircraft/aicraft-flight-simulator-auction?email=20220623_Industrial_Thu_eDM&link=Slot2_sale2&utm_source=edm&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Slot2_sale2&utm_campaign=20220623_Industrial_Thu_eDM&cid=em%7Cstr:Promotional%7Cpro:IndustrialEDM%7Cema:20220623_Industrial_Thu_eDM%7Cmid:6913765%7Clnk:Slot2_sale2&custid=1875708&riid=327158405&mid=6913765&cgu=%7Bfbde3a7d-3b3f-4139-82c1-225913b202bd%7D
  15. Further on is this clip amongst the Swiss Alps.
  16. With a stall as low as 27knots you don’t need to make it draggier. Maybe remove the spats to allow for grass fields.
  17. The ABC justin has reported an aircraft having to landing near the Sunshine Coast. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-06-13/emergency-plane-landing-sunshine-coast-pilot-escapes-injury/101147872 Any word around the traps on this?
  18. I have seen similar manoeuvres by military choppers at air displays. This is not excessive it seems. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0OyI13AG0s

  20. Hey onetrack, you sound like a huge number of government departments both state and federal. You will probably update before our rulers.
  21. Rod Shearer at Bendigo has a lot of followers from around Kyneton.
  22. Surely Yenn you don’t think that the Chinese will respect intellectual property.
