a Skippie is a kangaroo, comes from a old tv show, Skippy the bush kangaroo

[Xzessperated]

I have been following this thread for a while and I know what a kiwi is (fruit) but not a clue what a skippie is. Can so0meone please enlighten me on this. Thanks

Brian,
Skippy was the name of a Kangaroo on a kids TV series that was on TV when I was a young fella (1966 to 68). You will see the opening shot of the show on the YouTube video below. Not great quality but it will give you some idea....

A Kiwi is a flightless New Zealand bird (a bit like their Air Force really)...

A Skippie is a slang term for all idiots from Australia and it suits them well as they skip along with a roo.

Kiwi, it is flightless bird of dubious intelligence native to NewZealand, hence all NZ people are kiwi's. More to do with the lack of intelligence than the flightless bit !

Skippie, means Kangaroo a native of the greatest country on earth Australia. They are an extremely intelligent, resourceful and tough animal, They are also endowed with very large sexual organs. Hence all Australian's are Skippies
Hope this helps

They are just not much good at car racing and Nuclear Bombs

PS. Your parcel is ready to post. I even sent the drivers manual to the Spektrum radio.

For you Douggie.

Bloody good motorcycle racers though
Hey I think you will find Tasmania is still a state of Australia as much as you would like to think otherwise.
Thanks for the package I should be able to make a great BOMB with that mate.
The last part is just to see if ASIO is searching the web for references to BOMB making

I got 2 bombs...
1. SAAB
2. Ford Falcon

We are thinking of moving Tasmania to just off the coast of British Columbia. I can just see myself at Whistler skiing the slopes.

1. Lipo batteries
2. Castle Controllers.
3. My boat driving

I think you are safe mate, those wally's could not find a map of Tassie never lone the actual place !!!

I believe the map of Tasmania has been banned in several US states since you used it as an Avatar Andy.

Getting back to boating for a few minutes I tested some 3s batteries in the DF 33 just before sunset tonight. Another shock again. No pun intended.

1. Elite 3s 35C 5000 mAh, Neu 1515 1.5y, Hydra 240, Andym M645 = 65.4 kph or 40.06 mph

2. Zippy FlightMax 3s 30C 5000 mAh, Neu 1515 1.5y, Hydra 240, Andym M645 = 70.9 kph or 44.66 mph

Not a suitable motor for 3s I know but I done several laps on both batteries and had a blast. These hulls are a ball at these slow speeds. For me these speeds are slow but several people commented on how fast it was.

[andym]

They are fun at 70-75 kph , easy handling go any where you want. Not much fun when you get passed by one doing 90kph though.
Now please Patrick can you stop calling that motor a 1.5y!!! 1.5Y my ar$e
