Nice! It really must have been a long long time ago, I think the "Big Bunny" was retired a few decades ago. ✈️ What happened to your Cessna?

Aircraft may not have been Hef's anymore, but still had the Playboy livery. I took a quick look for my log books, but did not find them. Must be in the depths of my attic. Here's a link to the registration history of the aircraft: Registration Details For N950PB (Playboy) DC-9-32 - PlaneLogger WWW.PLANELOGGER.COM PlaneLogger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh I have visited Florida many times mainly just doing the Disney thing with the family and we all love it.We love to try and get off the beaten track to see the less commercialised side of wherever we are living.One of our all-time highlights was our visit to Kissimmee old town to see the Vintage Car parade on Church Street.Superb.👍👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about bikes any one on here had any experience of using e-bikes? Apparently you still have to pedal to keep/help the battery charge up but is it a hard or easy pedalling action needed. Often wondered what these e-bikes are like as they ain't cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterb Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 il y a 19 minutes, Robwin a dit : Assume so as bikes are still sold lol.

Often wondered what these e-bikes are like as they ain't cheap. you can adjust the level of assistance, weak you pedal hard... and vice versa. but the law requires you to pedal a minimum, otherwise it becomes a motorized machine.

Kjeld Carlsen Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 There are two main kinds of electric cycle, broadly known as full-power and power-assist, and they differ in the way they're powered by the electric motor: Full-power: These bikes are designed for minimal pedaling over relatively short distances. They have large batteries and powerful hub motors and they tend to be big, sturdy, and heavy. Bikes like this are for people who love cycling but hate pedaling! Since you're using power all the time, the range is limited (typically 16–30km or 10–20 miles). Power-assist: Also known as pedal-assist bikes, these are the bicycle equivalents of hybrid cars: they're designed to be pedaled quite a lot of the time and electrically powered either when you're tired or when you feel like a bit of electric help (when you're going up hill, for example). Unlike full-power bikes, they don't have hub motors; instead, there's a separate electric motor mounted near the rear wheel and driving it either through the gear sprocket or simply by pressing against the rear tire. Where a hub motor is difficult or impossible to pedal without any power (because you're effectively turning it into a generator), power-assist motors turn easily with little or no resistance when you pedal. That gives power-assist bikes much greater range than hub-motor ones (as much as 80–145km or 50–90 miles). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
