Re: Light Aircraft and Trike Near-Collision!

Just seconds from catastrophe, the pilot sent his plane into a dive and managed to avoid a head-on collision by 30ft. This was copied from the article, head-on collision? and then this.... I think the flexwing (microlight) might not have seen me until very late, he did appear to be drastically tryi...

Re: Feeling Ripped Off

I have been hiring and flying since I got my license…probably 5 years ago. I still enjoy my one hour flying a month but I will never be a skilled pilot by only flying only one hour a month. We fly for fun, we will easily fly less just to keep on flying; I wish that the people that rip aircraft owner...

Re: Solar-Heat pump or just the geyser

I have done the experiment because I install. Did both High pressure system & low pressure system on my own house. High Pressure: I found it not as effective as it sounds. Reason- my old electrical geyser was too far from solar on roof. The electrical element came on too often to build up temp to 6...

Re: Solar-Heat pump or just the geyser

Thanks for the reply Bundy. I will stay with the old-geyser for now. The heat pump that I want to get will only pay itself off in 5-6 years and that excludes any maintenance. Solar does not seem to be an option; body corporate does not allow big solar panels on the roof….a small one won’t justify th...

Re: Solar-Heat pump or just the geyser

@Dunesand, where do you stay? I stay in Pta and we have a lot of sunny days here, I think we have enough sun for a solar geyser…or I might be wrong. My first thoughts were also to go for solar but then someone else said that a head pump is better. I then started to investigate the options for both s...

Solar-Heat pump or just the geyser

Please help me out here... Which one will it be…solar, heat-pump or just the geyser as is? I have heard all the sales pitches, read all the articles and I cannot find any conclusive proof that one is better than the other nor that any one will definitely save me money. I belief solar is still too ex...
