Me thinks DH will pay you okes just so he can do the naplm thing

Spraying can only be done very early in the morning realy but check out for dew on the plants, don't spray if there is dew because the poison just runs of the plants and you wasted your money. Try to spray with a high QNH, this is better for the a/craft and the poison tends not to drift as much. I w...

Hi Alan, I sprayed for about 50 hours and it works well. I left it because we started farming organicly and had no use for it after that. Spraying wattle will be like shooting fish in a barrel. The fuel goes into a 25l container on the back seat and the chem tank goes where you would normaly find th...

Hi Jono & Jojay Sorry this took so long :oops: don't know why someone has not posted something about the Raptor before :oops: Manfred builds a very strong trike, everyone will agree that it has a neat, strong cart and a smooth wing that is both stable and fast. Mine cruises hands off 49 knots with t...

FF, thank you for sharing your vast experience with us. It is awsome how the air works and the more I understand it the more I fear it. Were it not for this forum and people like you, I think we as pilots would be left in the dark. Thanks

I used Stihl oil on my 503 and it was good, had almost no carbon and the stuff is not that expensive if you compare it with good oils. When I bought my new trike I got told to use TTS and I can't really see much difference between the two. Maybe I should change back

Think one might batlle groundlooping a trike no spats on wheels is the problem here Another reason for spats DH

Thanks I got red mud stains on the wing that I can't get off, I was a bit scared to try the Karcher but wil now

Won't a Karcher damage the stiching on the wing?

[Yep I also use clean green and Kaercher [/quote]

Should of seen all this coming any more nasty's

I have gone over to the green side chaps and I must say it's the rite thing to to, please don't be ugly to our little featherd friends, they just crap when the need comes and is not intensional.
