    His stuff is quite well regarded.. Met info was never easy to obtain. I know of no single comprehensive reference for Met. Air Law needs to be current. Flying with Other pilots X country is always useful provided you don't pick up any bad habits Compile a small note book of all the rules you must remember. . Do a flight Plan copy and do your Own entries and estimate ETA's and fuel endurances. You can enter it in your Log Book But it doesn't count as flight time Nev

    Oh FFS give it a break. Too Many RULES mate. "Confucius say", is timeless whatever you say. Times are changing Mostly for the Worst in the Tolerance and freedom of speech area..Nev

    Would you really expect to? I made it up. Not the Snopes bit. The Joke part. Nev.

    Did they have Planes then? You are allowed to Quote anything and Mine was done with acknowledgement. God said "let there be Light"...and there WAS light. SNOPES will tell you if things are true or not. Nev

    On smaller acreages your Hand is Nearly always on the throttle. Unfortunately for those of us who also fly It works in reverse to the Aeroplane. A decent vine sprayer would absorb More that 50 Hp without the tractor Moving.. . Nev

    I thought that was Humorous as well as a fitting response to the Previous Post. Oh well. I tried. Nev

    NO. Too Heavy. nev

    It did happen as I was involved with it at RNAC at the time. and they had about 4. I was the only Instructor who kept flying them and kept my Gosport tubes. Maybe some Flying school modified some (Not easy to do.) with electrics etc. Nev

    Diesel generators are only at their best when running near flat out and even then the cost/KwHr is double the grid Cost, Tractors are intermittent use vehicle and use fuel at a rate dependent on what it is doing. Nev

    Confucious say "Frying Man who make joke about frying Properry end up as Joke." Nev

    Keeping it fresh is One thing . After it's gone Off use it for weed killer or burning off . Nowhere NEAR an engine where it will block small Passages and gum up things. Nev..

    Your LOGIC is astounding. Your Planes engine can Mean your Life. Treat it with More respect and why Muck up Good fuel by mixing it with Rubbish, False economy. Nev

    Not on occasions when there is a significant headwind.. Your Pleasure comes at a Low velocity.. Eagles attack you from Behind,. Nev

    It's not Ideal and will Cost Heaps. Diesel used for electricity is very expensive. About 250% of grid Prices and that's before todays diesel prices. Large diesel Motors can be converted to run on LPG but Central Australia Has Lots of SUN so the Logical answer is Pretty obvious.. Nev

    Australia's DH 82 A Tiger Moths have not been able to be used as a Primary trainer since the early 60's but you can be trained in them for Other purposes like Aeros and T/W,. Nev

    Because he's not Making enough Money, as I explained. TV stations and Print Mediia are having financial Problems everywhere,. Nev

    The ABC is full of Ex Murdoch employees. That's Because his reach is so large. it's a Loss Making Monopoly. Murdoch's Hatred of the ABC is well Known and He is desperate.. Nev

    Lots of things are sub standard along these Highways. The tyranny of distance. Lack of Power Means no DIESEL OR PETROL (or showers) either. Nev

    It's Sta-BIL and there's a Marine One also. Seems like a good Product Nev

    Don't assume an Instructor will Be willing and allowed to train you in it. Nev
  21. facthunter
    The More assumptions the Less it's valid. The need is there. Some mowers are quite Large. Emergency Generators Powered Boats. Fire Pumps etc would have similar Needs Like all products research market views opinions an the reliability of the Manufacturer and supplier. Nev

    I stopped at Barkly on the Barkly Hwy to the east to Mt ISA from a bit south of Katherine and the Place was run by a diesel Generator that was Off for service. This generator used 1000 Litres of diesel per day. For several Hours you could not run anything. A bowser any bookings payments etc so a power failure Means NO Anything. Any kind of Battery would have been a PLUS. The future of these Places is solar and storage. How much would that generator cost per day, Now?. I call BS on that Sky-Murdoch story. It's most Likely Complete Fiction. Ie deception. Bring on the FACTCHECKERS., or we are stuffed . Nev

    Easy to Look up what is in it but the stability of it MUST be the reason. It's probably More a Question of what's NOT in it. Nev

    You don't "Pickle" an engine. You "INHIBIT" It from corrosion. There are recommended Ways of doing that and restoring it to service. Nev

    Methanol lasts for Ages also if the cap is sealed. It depends on how stable the Substance is. Complex things tend to degrade or oxidise or be attacked by Bacteria or Mould. Nev
