    We are actually NOT Doing that BAD skip. Look up FACTUAL comparisons. Could you list a few of these SMALL Countries exporting to the World? A significant HOME Market does make a good base for Building a Business in Manufacturing. Exporting has risks beyond your control. Trump as an example. Nev

    Labor didn't get AUSTRALIA saddled with Aukus and they KNOW how reliable TRUMP ISN'T. There's a Best time and Place for everything and you don't run your plans on TV. US can't even produce their own requirements. It's been Hijacked from within and in danger of being a Lawless FAILED STATE, full of Corruption. Nev

    Thanks for that. Good luck with it. You should get there eventually.. Salt I DON'T like. Nev

    Watch out for Murphy's Law. Nev

    Maybe your set up is not standard? How many previous owners? Nev

    With Most things done by Robotics why does Cheap Labour matter so much with Manufacturing anymore.? Nev

    Changing situations need positive and effective reassessment of risk..Situational awareness. Clear decision making. Make the Best of what you have going for you which at times may not be much. Stay in Control. Aviate. Nev

    Just look after the windscreen. On some planes it's part of the structural integrity. A Foxbat is also "thin tin" for rivets. Nev

    It's about a LOT of disturbed airflow associated with high drag and control difficulties PLUS a blast of fierce propwash in your face. No Way would you want to fly it.. Nev

    For a Single engine plane to NOT go via the ISLANDS should be rare. You can have assured glide to an island most of the way unless the Plane is unusually draggy.. Nev

    Yes. it's a Popular place for Fishing. That's one of the reasons accommodation can be scarce, there. Nev

    I don't think you fully acknowledge the safety aspect of it which I consider paramount. Most larger aircraft have relatively Poor visibility from their cockpits and much faster airspeed on base and final where collision is most likely when in a circuit. They are not usually as manouverable either and have WAKE turbulence particularly at their times at LOW speed (for them. which could be 2 x or more of your groundspeed on final easily. Nev

    As a general statement, RADIOs and procedures could be Much Improved. You need situational awareness, Training and self discipline to make it work. Visual CONFIRMATION is still the priority.. Nev

    You are on an anti straight in Crusade. There ARE times when it's best. Particularly if the extra plane is much Faster. Something like a Dash 8. THIS HAS been researched. It's got nought to do with being RUDE. Nev

    High(er ) cruise speeds mean you will feel rough air more and have to put more effort into the flying part. Winds can be significant low down on this route. Hot day Sea breeze effect at about 1400 local is strong when the ambient temp is high. Don't eat any SUSS food and you must carry WATER... Nev

    When YOU press the Button YOU can't hear them. Pause before transmitting and keep calls brief to reduce the Possibility of being OVER someone else.. You must account for ALL aircraft in the circuit or you are using HOPE. Don't be against Straight IN. They are on the ground and clear in no time. Nev

    The best place to ADJUST is on downwind BEFORE turning base (Track distance) but don't overdo it. Straight in will reduce time in the circuit. Always have an exit plan for a go around . Know the runway in use. Keep your transmissions short and clear. Nev

    The Poms never cleaned up Aus either. 1 Microgram of plutonium will kill you. The dust from tests went all over the east. Lots of leukemia in young people. Nev

    Remember Engines DON'T FIX them selves. An inlet valve not closing can force High Pressures into other Cylinders. Backfiires DO damage Motors. Glad to hear it's fixed. I'd prefer manually adjusted valves . Bit more work to adjust But More reliable and you get to know if anything's changing there. Nev

    Esperance is worth a few days and I think there's a club there. Normal prices. You might EVEN want to LIVE there. Nev

    The Weather would be my Main concern for both the actual flying and accommodation and the Aircrafts safety when the weather changes. It's LOOOooNG WAY. Nev

    The "Technology" has come a long way since the 40's. The top builders are easy to find. and even they have their occasional production delays. This is super hi tech stuff. and always will be. Nev

    People at altitude. IF you are serious have someone with a handheld .Nev

    Do an all stations comm check call.. Nev

    Joe had a brain and knowledge to lapse in his MOMENTS. Trumps KNOWLEDGE is of the Lacking variety. He has Nothing to lose. Nev
