That is great to hear Stan! great fun showing others around in the place... :thumb_up:
Hope your getting some nice rain over there, we have gotten about 15mm so far, hope it continues to rain for a little longer. :thumb_up: Though a bit of a break tomorrow would be nice for the Antique machinery show (or whatever it's called) in Dalby.
Have fun and don't work to hard!!

Sounds good, I hope she enjoys it!
Sports Cruiser cruises better than I thought! just the first look at it and seeing it's fat wings made me wonder!
Once you get the x-county done, it is a great thing! :thumb_up:

I knew I'd spark a bit of interest!!?Hey Tomo...experimenting with hydrogen power...that sounds cool! Where did you get the hydrogen from (make it yourself?) and how did you get the fuel/air mixture into the engine?
Yeah made it myself. Have been fiddling with it for quite some time now, have attached it to a few vehicles also, as a Hydrogen supplement/additive to the fuel/diesel for a reduction in fuel and exhaust emissions - though I mainly was interested in less fuel usage!
I haven't done much lately though, due to flying and been pretty busy.
Successfulness in less fuel usage was dependent on the vehicle, likes of my bush bash Nissan Pulsa was hugely different in more power! didn't actually do any fuel tests on it, but it made it twice as powerful so I'm guessing it would have been alright. Whereas my brother's 89 BMW made the fuel economy worse... It worked great on older Carby engines rather than the modern fuel injection ones. That is with hydrogen supplement.

Hydrogen engines are a fascinating thing... There are so many factors to consider it is quite time consuming and difficult!
I've run a wipper snipper 25cc engine off Hydrogen, I've also run a glass bore single cylinder experimental motor off the Hydrogen as well... makes for a nice clean explosion anyway! It is just extremely hard to regulate how much of it to put in to make it work, not enough and it will fire every now and then, to much and it basically floods the engine and does nothing sensible.
Just to let you know FD - in a piston combustion engine we usually only get about 33% power out of what we put in.

G'day Tim! Welcome to the forum - make yourself at home and you'll soon be blown away with what Ian has put together for us all on the this site.
Sounds like you've got yourself a pretty good set up, flying wife an all!:thumb_up: I'm sure a lot of fella's here would be jealous!?

If you like you can post some pictures of your area and aircraft for us to have look at? I'd be interested in seeing you and your wife's little aircraft. :thumb_up:
I've never been in an AutoGyro, but I'm planning on having a spin one day just to see what it is like.
Have fun and fly safe:thumb_up:

Bitumen is what you'd be after!:big_grin:I live 1 mile north north east of brigalow along the black tar road,( couldn,t spell bitch-a-men).So has Mike got you up to speed in it yet? Ie, have you got your pilot cert? Pax, x-country etc... or are you still working on them?
Safe flying, and don't forget to have fun!
-
G'day Bazza (Barry?) Welcome to the forums, and yes it is a great place!:thumb_up: But only because of its members! so it's really good to have you.

Safe flying and have fun.

Yeah nice Paul, pitty about the quality - it has been shrunk to mobile phone size I'm guessing, but it still shows it pretty well.
-
Nice!:thumb_up: He must have a few camera's on?
-
Mmm....?
Spitfire, Hurricane, Mustang or whatever, would be awesome.
I'd have to go with the Concord too I think - just to feel the power on takeoff!
F111, or F18 Hornet....
-
Nice... though probably not enough yet to go bashing yourself around about landing!

If it was a Cessna 150 you probably could...!:big_grin:
-
Only 18 and already young Ditdah's memory is going...
Yeah, sad really isn't it?! though I think I've got an excuse... I've done a lot over the last few days.... including nearly 400klm of driving since 12.30pm today:keen:
I think it was something to do with the Mafia...?

If it had a bit of Ice cream in it, I'd be half tempted to eat through it too!Dunno about standoff, I'd be worried about the prop on the Winjeel eating through that cone!

Hey I flew around your strip at Kupunn on Sunday in the Jab... I considered popping in, but it didn't look like there was anyone around.
