Winnebago on TV Last Night

Gday
Sorry Michelle

Hey, no problem ;-) ... I guess the pool table would be an optional extra that could be arranged.

We were at a free camp site in NSW last year and saw a flatbed truck with a double cab. The flat bed had a helicopter on it.

The cab had enough room to sleep in and they (husband and wife) just assembled the blades on the chopper and used that for sight seeing.

Very cool.

I wonder if that was Richard Green?

Richard Green

My folks are friends with them.

MM

No, the chopper wasn't that cool...

For a man of my vintage Richard Green(e) was the actor who played Robin Hood on early TV.

Must be money in taking nature photos.
That chopper would cost a bit to keep flying.
Lucky buggas!!

Incredible isn't it!

and apparently the home helipad is a work of engineering genius, with some sort of automated convevyor to bring the chopper out of the shed and swivel it into position!!

I have seen the book featured on their website - my mum has a personally signed one of course - the pics are priceless and unique. makes you want to travel to places all over again and see it from air - a totally different perspective.

MM

yes but I'm worried we all might like it so much that we might be the ones that get soft!! It's a BIG step up from Swags!!!

MM

Michelle

maybe he'l want one of these :-)

3 Miles per gallon = 78.4 L per 100 at full speed 253 milers per hour, just over 400k, wholy hell, empties the fuel tank in 12 minutes, what a ride that would be. wonder what the price would be, have to be a few million id reckon ??Great clip Michelle

Mark, he definatley picked the wrong wife if he wants one of those! That's just OTT!

Never seen that before, though, quite interesting....

MM

I've been pondering your response for a while - now you have me rather worried! I had indeed notice a massive variation in climatic trends between the coast and vegas area but hadn't realised it could even be close to snow weather. I"ll take your tip, thanks... and yeah, ok I"ld give that Custer's place another look.... still going through the plans as we speak actually.

MM

Kinda hard to put an electric charge on fibreglass panels that the body of the vehicles are made of don,t you think , duh ,

How would I know duh.

Thats what I am asking. Maybe the undercoat was a metal based etch. I am not trying to be smart. Apparently you are.

I just think there would be a reason why the company would not use masks. I guarantee they are not stupid.

Duh to you also.

Phil

Apologies there whatever your name is. I was cheesed off because I was asking a legitimate question and you made me sound stupid.

And besides you can put an electrostatic charge on non ferrous materials. Try rubbing a plastic comb on a cat or through very dry hair. And then put a piece of paper next to it.

Phil

This is the type of people who are around these days. Abused me and when I apologised for responding in like manner Alloy c/t did not even have the decency to accept my apology nor say anything about how wrong they were.

Simply amazing lack of a standard of conduct which demonstrates that this person is polite, thoughtful of others and a valuable member of our Australian culture. Not the type of person whom I would share a cuppa and camp fire with.

That feels better now. I shall move on.

Phil

Please explain how pointing out a fact , that being that the vehicles being painted are fibreglass and not metal somehow abused you , get off your high horse, if you actually watched the show and took notice you would have seen that their production methods including painting are vastly different from OH&S requirements as applied in Australia.

Ohh ,and by the way ,your anology of comb through dry hair creates STATIC electricity as any schoolboy learns , it does not resemble in any way a constant electrostatic charge as would be required for spray painting a METAL object.

I am not used to having "duh" added to any comment about a legitimate question. If you had left that off then all would have been fine. The "duh" changed it to a "you loser" and "dumb ****" type of comment.

That's why I was offended.

I fail to see why the analogy was not applicable. Electrostatic paint for non ferrous materials had been around for a long time. See link on electrostatic paint below. The video at this link below is a demonstration of electrostatic painting. Yes its a metal cabinet. However half way through there is a demonstration of how, with electrostatic painting the isn't any over spray. This is what I was getting at, and suggested why the staff were not using protective equipment.

As you can see. I did have a valid question. And you appeared to attack and denigrate me by completing your response with the simple word "duh", which I understand is an abbreviation for "you dumb twit" or "loser".

Enough said. Cheers.

Phil

Alumil group electrostatic paint years ago

Have a look at how the overspray is not there at 1:06 ito this one

I fouled up the middle link.

Try this

This is just not my day. I wish this forum had an edit function.

Try again:

Got it
