Hey Bruce "two prop or one" if you have two and one stops if its instant the aircraft rotates around the other.Opps now upside down, they counter rotate.
And even if it stays the right way up the one engine is only taking you to the sean of the accident.
Believe me.

Re: Pet-els touring
Hi,
I camped at Prarie [rear of hotel / donation] the owner had shut the pub on Saturday afternoon so he could go to the local football at Hughenden. 5 C/v, 1 C/t and 1 5'er.
He opened the pub at 0900 Sunday morning for us to look inside, the bar was old western Qld, the dinning room had a chandelier and some antique furnishings well worth the look.
Drove 220km on a gravel road to Muttaburra, then to Aramac and saw the "White Bull" monument to Harry Redford [cattle duffer who stole a herd and drove them to Adelaide through the desert] He actually got off free as he had opened up the route down south. On to Barcaldine, at this stage my w/m had leaked water everywhere inside so had to isolate it. My h/w system sprung a leak and I had to isolate it. Then the punp on the drinking water tank stopped. I had to drive to Toowoomba to get to a Dometic agent. H/w fixed under warranty, w/m needed a new hose underneath contacted "Sphere" and they said OK we will send out a new W/m under warranty, only problem was they got mixed up with Sydney and Brisbane so the w/m turned up on Friday [today] at 1230 fully installed and on the road to Chinchilla at 1330. Here at Chinchilla there are 20 MH waiting for a Safari to start next week [total due 50] to go down the Birdsville Track.

Re: Pet-els touring
No worries Chuck, help at hand all the way. With all of those there will be one at either end of the track. Clever thinking old boy 
That wasn't funny Chuck now my post does look like Banal, (no comments from the peanut gallery either)
