Piaggio Avanti. I think, a little above NSW " age pension " money. And it doesn't compare to a " home built " HummelBird. 6 litres pH fuel , plus one litre of oil , for two oil changes . spacesailor

It seems Ford have a problem with the exhaust gases burning through the water cooling wall. The first sign is when your radiator water is turned into steam . spacesailor -
Two female pilots , " VH-OQA " Nancy Bird Walton & VH-OQL Phyllis Arnott . I like Google. spacesailor

Even " tubeless " tyres can have a proper repair done . After the tyre is demounted the " vulcanising patch " is applied inside the tyre . A lot of places will tell you the plug is as good as a " vulcanised patch " repair , which is B S . spacesailor

Power, still costs $ 1000 pa . Bank interest ( on the outlay ) of $4000 is $ 80 . ( 2% ) ( St George retirement account is 0.14% interest ) a pittance. There , you can see the dilemma of no rebates for having a lower electrify bill . without the gas bill being taken into account. I tried to " $ 4000x0.14% = 5.6 " what is 5.6 ? . spacesailor -

" Don't worry about getting old " . As I am 83 this year ( 6 months to go ) I doubt if there is any chance of ' panels ' repaying For themselves. With solar I would not worry about running the AC . Or my stick welder . My take is/was cost of panels V interest of savings . $ 4000 from savings at 2% pa ( $80 interest ), saving $ 1,000 pa from electric bill. spacesailor -
Then again . 1902 . 18 months before the American Wright bro flew. " Richard Pearse " flew his plane in Timaru NZ .( he had proper ailerons ) . spacesailor

I did read it , but had to " google " for the story . yes " WSA " should be either Badgerys or Duigan . ( it was on Badgeries land ) They both have more prestige than an obscure female pilot . spacesailor

" bills are not that high " That's the problem! . Electricity bills less than $ 250 don't get the government handout . spacesailor -
" sorry never heard of her before coming to Aus, only ' WSA name " .( West-Sydney-Airport ) First time I heard " Nancy-bird-walton " was the airport naming . I think it should have been named after the first Australian aircraft builder & pilot . spacesailor

I did look into the on lines quotes , but stopped at " provide full address " . I get lots of ' unsolicited phone calls & mail ' now , no reason. To invite more . But thank you . octave . spacesailor -
Over forty years, In this Toongabbie house . So , yes I did a little training at " Badgery's creek " . I also had a day or two at Schofield's , then it was closed. The first time to drive on " Old Windsor " Rd. It had a take-away shop at the corner of " Fitzwilliam " Rd & a wooden bridge onto the dirt track to " Sunnyholt " Rd for Blacktown . As I now have a 16 yo GreatGrandSon learning to drive I think I may be a little OLD ! .LOL spacesailor

American ( female ) pilot . Could be wrong but famous for something aviation. spacesailor

Not , if they don't fly . Should I change the ' instrument panel,' for a " msflight simulator " . I could do the " cross country endorsement " by msfs " . Three litres 98 super each month & change the 1/2 litre oil biannually. Cheaper than Boating or drinking . LoL spacesailor

I had a ' ride-on ' lawnmower, three speed gears 36hpX28 " cut . Taught a lot of Grandies to drive on it , & did the neighbours lawns as well . No-one fights for the lawnmower now , it' a push slasher type. That old mower is now a bladeless racing mower . spacesailor -
I bought C steel from " Sim's scrap metal " Sydney . Cheaper than new by lots . spacesailor

I couldn't afford the panels! . Should I bother with batteries. Stand alone panels are too expensive for pensioners. So, what price those batteries . spacesailor -

onetrack You do realise the more sheds , the greater the collection . nomadpete an idiot dived into the Parramatta River ( were the ferry turns around ). and limped out at the other side with the ' cheek of his arse bitten off ' . it's positive. It was a shark . spacesailor -

Only for the wealthy. The lower consumption that the poorer use, the higher the grid input . then again! The wealthy would use most of their panel output . With their $ three figure power bill . ( or is it four figure $1,000) . spacesailor -
