Triffic, yoo loogin for partners are yoo? :diablo:

Bushfeuer Mk I perhaps ?

Those IO-720s produce 400 hp.

Where did you read it was a 720? I see a blower in one of the photo’s, there were turbo’d 720’s they used to produce 500hp. There weren’t many of those round, just loogin at the photo I’d say TSIO540.

Apart from the one’s suggested,just loogit the net, yool find lotsa machinery from Cri Cri’s to the Corby Starlet.

My main issue with the type is that it is not certified for aerobatics. A straight-and-level Spitfire just seems a contradiction in terms to me.

I think it depends on the registration method, in RAA or “Ultralight” catagory, no aircraft is aerobatic (I think). In VH or experimental I think they are, anyhoo they are stressed to +6-6 (I think agin, not sure). There are some out here that regulary do aero’s. The V8 is an option with some of the kits, the V8 sounds VERY good on high power. I think your a bit off with the price, depends on kit again but the mob with the V6’s and V8’s are closer to $300,000 Oz dollars or about mebe 180,000 Poonds.
They may not be exactly like originals but at least they fly and provide much fun for the owners.
You can compare some of the whinging about them to blokes who say hey would only go out with Lizabeth Hurley (The cricket yobo’s friend) and ignore the good sort check out chick then go home to the computor for internet “Love”. There’s the real, tangable, achievable (Even if it is a replica) and there’s the impossible dreamers. Those that do and those that don’t.:D

Looks a bit more than a cobbled together back yard job, what do people think about his comment that the Government should pay to train him to fly?

This A-26 is also leaking water. 🙂

Not an Invader but leaking also

Hard to believe but the 802 has a bigger load than an Invader.

If I am in the mood and not busy I will drag it out for a few minutes with my totally incompetent attempts to follow their instructions. Moggy

We get the same out here, all sorts of calls from trying to change your web carrier to cheaper power and cheaper phone calls/mobile phones. If I’m feeling playful I’ll drag it out as long as possible, while I’m keepinum busy they aren’t annoying anybody else. My personal best is 22 minutes, you have to be prepared to change your tack and work compliantly withum.
Usually our calls come from India/Asia. The calls normally start with a long pause then “Could I speak to the manager/owner of the company please”. You say “Speaking” and away they go.
“It’s Stephen here ringing from Melbourne, how are you sir?”
“I’m extremely well and thank you very much for asking” That throws them a bit then they start.
Then I’ll say “You don’t sound like a Steven to me, you sound more like Sanjeev” After a bit of trying to deflect the comments they start the hard sell if they haven’t said I ask where they are ringing from. The likes of Melbourne I ask “What’s the weather like in Melbourne?” When they reply I tell them what the weather is really like. You can go on for ages before they start to get stroppy, mostly they’ll just keep trying no matter how rude/ignorant/stupid you are.
If you’ve got a bit of spare time see how long you can string them out, if they are going to waste your time why not waste a bit of their phone bill?:D
