Wouldn't the full set have to include the 120, 140 and O1?
A full set of Cessna arse draggers would have to include the C188 as well wouldn't it?
Or is that one excluded.

PF you're absolutely correct...hadn't thought of the Ag ar$e draggers

So anybody got a C188 they want to loan me for 30 minutes or so?

Re the Cuzzy Bros 'where are they now'.

Left to Right..

Serving time for Puha smuggling/racketeering/drink driving/resisting arrest.

Became a born again Christian - now living in witness protection with his wife and 12 children after becoming a police informant and turning state's evidence in a Puha smuggling/racketeering case.

After a role as an extra in 'Once We Were Warriors' but now we are just kanaks he went on to study Shakespeare and acting. Career highlight was understudy for the part of Yorick in Hamlet. He has also applied for the role of the Moor in Othello 487 times (that'll get you lot thinking)

Made a small fortune as a land developer (Waitangi Developements PTY LTD) and now restores old Falcons as a hobby in retirement

While you're mulling over Tinpis' challenge, here's a couple more if anyone else is interested!





I'm afraid most of my pics taken from/in DA-42s around Hamilton (no points for guessing my training provider!). For those who prefer a bit of old school, not many of these around I believe...

Nice Beaver tinpis!

But could the car in your first picture be a GTO Pontiac or something similar, judgeing by the bonnet scoop in the middle?

Tinpis

Not being aquainted with the beaver (not that type anyway) can you tell me what the tacho is saying, 0 rpm, 1000 rpm?

Um..at a guess 28"/1990-ish rpm?

Truth be known, the tacho is flucked! However, Tinnie always flew by ear alone and never looked at the tacho.
