Not a homebuild Graeme, but certainly for ag work.

And not a Wallis thingy!

Noyade: Sure.

Well, North Sea is East of the Pommieland, Nordsee is North of Gerrieland.

Ostsee ('Eastern sea', Baltic Sea) is North of the Gerrieland, too.

North Sea is west of Denmark.

To add to the clarity, Ostsee is called Läänemeri (West sea) in Estonian, which is a Baltic country, and Itämeri in Finland (East sea), which, of course is South of Finland.

We just love the diversity out here. My unnecessary piece of advice: Stay where you are.

I'm told ( my wife, god bless her!) that Adelaide is half an hour behind us ( NSW ) and Perth is two hours behind us. Each state has their own daylight saving ruling which tends to stuff that formula up.

Thanks RegDep.....but I was just being inquisitive...what country do you live in?

Noyade: I live in Berlin, Germany, but I am not German by birth nor (so much) by thinking.

Not Polish , me.

Helicopter?

You mean gyrocopter??

Magni M 16???

The M16 has even demonstrated utility as an agricultural crop sprayer (with Micronair atomizers and 150 l tank)

Well, yes. Just found out that Magni is Australian. Thought it was Italian, got carried away by the Italian designer name......

You are not rebutting the gyrocopter, are you?

Is it safe to assume that the challenge is a modified design, or is it built as a dedicated crop-sprayer?
