Just to be clear, the aircraft needed a different type of inspection before it was registered, as well as the annual inspection. more paperwork.

Took up gliding because it was to hard to keep current and get maintenance done in remote type areas for ultralights. Found out you can't register one if it hasn't been registered for more than 2 years.

The other thing you could consider is using a shed with a smaller door and use track like they do for sailplanes. Put the plane in sideways The local club just use angle iron with the point up. Not hard to whip up a dolly. Looks like wheels are readily available.

Started flying sailplanes at 56. Go for it.

They use to fire one up at the engine start up days at the aircraft museum in Port Adelaide. Not sure if they still do.

Amazing aircraft!

What facts. I didn't say what the last government did, i said I am sick of them blaming the last government Who cares what the last government did, Albo has been in for four years, new about the situation so he has dropped the ball. "BIG FAIL"He made a big deal out of it to score political points and has just proved he is no better then the rest. Here is the quote just so all you albo fans can read it. You can google the quote if you want to see it live. “The point of our international obligations is that Australia should have here 90 days available of liquid fuel reserves, so we are significantly in breach,” Mr Albanese said in the interview. “We shouldn’t be dependent upon circumstances which are which may be beyond our control, as you say, terms of any particular international incident, be it military conflict or other issues, will mean that we run out of fuel.”

I must admit, I am sick of them blaming the last government. Albo made a point about the fuel security when he was in opposition so he new about it and has done nothing in 4 years so the ball is in his court. There is only so many times you can do that.

You just insulted everyone you disagree with!

Who owns Viva Energy?

I wander what sort of speeds they travel in China. Just thinking wind resistance etc.

You are right, Twiggy is no fool, Milking all the government grants

Using Europe as a comparison to our fuel prices over here is like comparing apples and oranges. They have a very good public transport over there with a road that is bitumen also normally has a bus run along it. You can catch a train and prices being less than $100 between country capitals. Our fuel needs be cheaper once you get out of the metro area. Often it is not.

Would not bother me at all, then I could walk to work. Spent fuel is political and public perception problem , not an engineering one. Thought this was an oddball aircraft thread.
