Hi Steve, hows the Glasair going? I been away from flying for awhile, hopefully back into it in new year. Did start mine recently after it been sitting idle since feb 2020, So happy I persevered with the mazda, it started & ran so sweet I contemplated doing a couple of circuits but for the legalities. No MR and I need AFR first.
Neil, not sure I agree with your rotor setup proposal, ( not that mine is better) can get some weird aerodynamics with intermeshing rotors. Whole thing of nurse cart & drone need to be a package, rotors will never be stopped during refill so drone needs to land on roof of truck or trailer for refill from underneath to keep blades clear of dumbasses like me. Truth be told, I dont think we can get anywhere near the efficiency of a ground rig or Ag plane, we easily average 80 ha/hr each machine + nurse cart, going to need a swarm of drones to get near this. But could be a fun project. Andrew Good to hear your voice Andrew. My son-in-law in Kojonup would be very interested in what you guys are talking about.
Cheers
Regards
Andrew Martin
