    Bit different to handing someone a spanner. I'm NOT trying to abuse you. I just have extreme difficulty with how you Present your case.. They PARTICIPATED in the Build. (Your words) That's EDUCATIONAL NOT "only assisting". You could assist "Hold things etc" and Learn nothing. Incidentally I am an ex High school teacher and have a 100% pass in PMI with CASA .Have Instructed with GA and RAAus. so perhaps I know a little about passing information on and the Learning Process. .Nev

    It IS a bit of a Mugs Game now, but a Lot of us are addicted. After WW2, there was a lot of surplus Planes around and Plenty of wartime pilots who wanted to fly for free at students expense and were always on the controls. Your weeks wages got you about 2 Hours in the air. At Least DCA was full of Pilots who knew how to fly and the Minister for Civil Aviation D.G.Anderson would turn up for PPL's award night and was an ex Bomber Pilot. RNAC had a lot of connections in DCA and we were able to fly into Mascot with a special Procedure and Leave Our Bug Smashers Near the Control Tower. Woe Betide any Pilot who stuffed it up.. Nev

    A very simple carby would get you Home. Blowing through the Carby has a lot of Problems. It's not often done.. Nev

    Get real M8. Nev

    I've got plenty to Play with thanks. The one I was involved with was straight-out of the Box in a freshly built Plane, and they were few and far between and a bit of an unknown quantity. Nev

    Don't like the truth eh. No wonder the RAAus get in the Poo in Court. I NEVER told you, you weren't ALLOWED to have a trim tab . but said Sptifires NEED them but Maybe you don't. More twisting and exaggeration. Nev

    Yes. I've done about 30 Hours behind the Non Turbo'd one. It ran a bit hot and I put in colder plugs. The turbo'd one was discontinued, I believe.. Nev

    You are certainly getting nothing Material out of the extension. Nev

    Hire car out of Sydney, North on a Friday and back on a Monday? I hope you are used to DENSE traffic. Newcastle ( Williamtown)-Muswellbrook is an easy drive and the flight time is the same as to Sydney as you get Mucked around getting into Sydney. Nev

    It's an Idiotic ruling and would look ridiculous in Court. That's for sure. Some of your descriptions are exaggerated. It de-legitimises the thrust of your argument. Nev

    You should have something that doesn't rely on Microprocessors and has inbuilt redundancy. How would you like to have an Autopilot with NO Manual capability?. You CAN fly without an autopilot. I've done it when I had to on a B727 at Cruise Level and that's not that easy and you Legally require double the Normal Vertical separation. Nev

    Never ever heard about "assisting" in the Building. I think it Harks back to the 51% Rule and 19 xxx planes. A real difficulty for Subsequent Owners. U/L rules here grew in a random manner and it SHOWS.. Time the whole thing was revisited by someone who CARES and sorted out. Nev

    Mine has a red top and never been run. Nev

    It went downhill after RAAus said "WE are the NEW GA". They lost Focus and became Empire Builders. Nev

    Simple Affordable Flying. Wherefore Art Thou? On condition is Not well founded in science either, especially with 2 strokes . Stick to the TBO. It's NOT there for Nuthin. Running them over TBO makes the engines More expensive to rebuild than Otherwise would be the Case . That's a Proven Fact. IF you operate from the right Place you could cope with engine failures and fly with a real Rotary with really Low hours between repair. Fit and Forget is Nerd thinking. You make your own Luck. Nev

    Just use double sealed Ball Bearings. Aero wheels spin at High revs some times and grease is Just Oil Mixed with a stearate (Usually Lithium) SOAP. For heavier work you can't beat Tapered rollers (properly sealed). Nev

    It's Pretty significant CRAP. Nev

    A prop balance only deals with Mass of the prop structure. Any turbulence caused by airflow or separation is not addressed. It can't be. It's not the Aim of the game. Nev

    Yes and maybe more in the future when Trump gets more desperate. The rope marks don't match the damage on Epsteins Neck. Nev

    This was from Germans who examined the Body and identified the Poison. Recently. Nev

    That's the same Plane Skippy went APE over after I gave it the thumbs UP. Nev

    Navalny was Poisoned. Russia denies it of course but who Believes them these days? Nev

    Nah A Ratbike. It's an Albon Merlin. Tiny diesel in my Model motor collection. I'll BET someone has a Pic of one. Nev
