    OZ manufacturing plants like Camit and Jab need to be nutured, accepted and improved ....... to compete and employ its been mentioned but not answered - someone must have enquired .......................... no point getting to carried away if the Camit is 'X' times the cost Whats the cost for a 4 cylinder Camit vs Jab and engine life difference ? Whats the cost for a 6 cylinder Camit vs Jab and engine life difference ?

    Nice Skee - the neighbours must be understnading or play loud music Most of in Oz probably have a fair bit of living space on the ground and a bit more room to spread out - so when you take wings and fueslage out the external walls of your hangar - it will be well worth a photo

    Don't be irreplaceable; if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted. It's always darkest before dawn. So, if you're going to steal the neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it. Never test the depth of the water with both feet. It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others. If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it. Some days you are the bug; some days you are the windshield. Never ask a barber if he thinks you need a haircut. Good judgement comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. Timing has an awful lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance. I didn't say it was your fault. I said I was going to blame you. Never miss a good chance to shut up. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your mouth is moving. Diplomacy is the art of saying "good doggie" while looking for a bigger stick.

    thanks for that teckair and dafydd - HORSCOTS is googable .......................... we've come a long way .............. for a clever country ! (actually Qld as well - also being a smart state also (if you believe the pollie rhetoric))

    lie down on the couch and tell us more Teckair ....................... seriously though - sounds like a good story to tell Teckair ?
  17. johnm
    Motz ............... or any instructor Of the 3 personality types you mention (assuming that is true) (over confident, under confident, and anti authority) ................. be great to hear some instructor experiences about what its like to teach the 3 types to fly
  18. johnm
    Yes - i'd iamgine the movie won't get on the list of all time greats, but He certianly liked flying, booze and drugs .................... and not in that order either I thought the ending - about when his son asked him (Denzel - his dad) a question .......... was a great message (thesaurus says use the word 'poignant' at this point)
  19. johnm
    very convincing andy - you might get the $ 200 lame account paid by medicare

    johnm replied to eaglei's topic in Other Rec Aircraft

    just keep studying the planes (and the numbers therein) for sale in the Sport Pilot mag eaglei ............ There are other sources as well ......... good time to buy (planes might get even cheaper - could be a bad time yo buy)

    looks like they are going to be picky no mention of salary ............... if I was an employer trying to snare someone - renumeration should be always mentioned (apart from flying instructors ......... its one of the fundamental reasons why we work) (could be the reverse of 'sir if you must ask the price you can't possibly afford it)
  22. johnm
    yes ......... also about when the early radio stations broardcast (the 1920's) they were very powerful to tansmit some distance - farmers said the could the broardcast through there fence lines (fences acting as as a radio receiver)

    'hell hath no fury like a women's scorn' ....................... (except my wife of course)

    when I worked in nz as a loader driver for aerial topdressing .......... 2 planes working the one strip that day - i can always remember the 2 fletcher pilots talking about some previous summer they both worked a strip together in the 'nude' - a very informal dress standard (I assumed they where in separate aricraft when this occured)
  25. johnm
    epaulets ? - don't see them in these parts - would n't worry me I guess if you want to fly that would be the least of the wearers worries ............... you can't judge a book by its cover
