So those going sailing on wheels @ Yepoon, or that Tassi drag strip, Pt Germain or the mighty Lake Lefroy on the upcomming weekend.....Have a good one & post plenty of photos please........
I'd love to accommodate you GJ but the winds are "Every Which Way but Loose"
I don't think the weather will even conducive to Trout Chasing..
Ron
well i'm off to pt germein on the long weekend regardless,,,,,, time to blow the cob weds away, anyone want to come for a look or sail i'll be there from the friday of the weekend onwards to monday
You know, If anyone is thinking of coming down this way for a sail or trip, we can always put you up for a few days and possibly let you use one of my machines, that is if thew wind is right.. Just send out a "Hoy" and we can arrange something. Nope not a B&B just muck in..
Ron
I ain't such a bad bloke----------------Really. Just a little rough around the edges.
You seem ta do a lot of coffee spittin whilst readin forums Chook. Maybe ya should try drinkin sumfin else[}:)]
We have pinched it.
Esperance a top of 26 degrees
Southern Coastal for Friday Scattered showers extending from the west during the morning becoming widespread in the afternoon with isolated squally thunderstorms extending from the west throughout the day. Small hail possible in the evening. Moderate to fresh NW'ly winds, strengthening during the morning, possibly reaching gale force at times with dangerous wind gusts. Winds becoming W'ly in the evening. hail easing to isolated showers during the morning.
At the moment it's just a gentle zephyr.
Off to batten down the hatches.
It's about to thunder here in Esperance!!!!!
Off out of town to test it........... Yes, the Mrs is home.[}:)]
Great way to solve the problem of those (AUSzie rule) stationary starts Chook.
Well done!
Lovely bit of engineering there Chook. If I had the cash (and hadn't left my passport in a pocket, and got it washed after France
), I'd be on a flight to see that go!
Cheers Col
Gidday Chook. the finished photo you have posted is good no! its great!!
however when you have run it over the weekend [i will be listening] there will be
heat colouration which will give a more finished look I would ask if a photo .
machine and pilot [real], not the Kalgoourie stand in, taken on the same angle
could be posted for print over east,here to hang on wall, inspiration. Thank you ,
Have a good weekend
why is the gas bottle up side downwouldn't you be concerned about knocking the valve and such ,,,, just a thought that i had,,,
Sunday was a bit of a letdown, when I went to test it.
Firstly I couldn't get the leaf blower started that I'd borrowed. (I only have an electric one). Now I know why it's electric..............
After fresh fuel and much stuffing round and my right arm 200mm longer from pulling the bloody thing, it went, so off to a disused gravel pit 30 kms out of town.
It gave 2 very load coughs with a very rich yellowy flame and iced up. BUGGER!!!
I waited for 40 mins for it to thaw out, but my ignition had failed me.
I replaced the inition relay tonight, for no better result. After much more stuffing round, it turns out the 7amp gel cell had died. Under load it was going open circuit.
I've got another one on charge tonight so tomorrow will be D day with luck on my side.
Yes as sn said it's to increase the fuel flow, is why the bottle is inverted.
Also the surface of the gas freezes when a high discharge rate is being consumed from the bottle when upright and the jets quit.
If it works gibber, it would be my pleasure to get a snap organized for you.
Still have lots to do for Lefroy so back to the shed.
You will have a heavy load Chook......many of us will be riding with u,
at least in spirit this will become a Landyatching magic moment world
wide 
and possibily the start of something real sick !!!! But behind every
great man there is a wonderful understanding wifey, and it is so that you have
the best, on behalf of all world venturers I say thanks Chook and Wifey
Yer a Sniveling Shiite Joe. You just Beat them into submission. Black and Blue suits them well.
Now I shall go hide in my Nuclear Bomb Shelter for a month or two..[}:)][}:)]
Ron
Right! Chook, Yer Bleedin' Layabout...... You've had enough time to CGI some footage.. What's the hold up???
Ron
It LIVES..........[}:)]
After much stuffing round and more ignition failures, I got desperate and wrapped 4 sparklers together and stuffed it up it's bum and added much air and away it went.
It was shaking all the windows in the classrooms at the College.
A group of Yr 10's that were at the far end of the farm fencing and up wind heard it clearly as well.
It went through 3/4 of a bottle of gas (in the upright position with all valves flat out on) in about 1& 1/2 minutes and froze the bottle.
Lefroy here it comes..............................
