  1. They appeared to be on the lines but that doesn't protect you IF you are TOO close You still have to keep your distance between. I think that is pretty obvious As I commented earlier you have to know the trajectory of the wingtips and tail when the Nosewheel is not straight. It can go to nearly a right angle where the cockpit is going sideways. You are Marshalled where clearance with anything is Minimal, even IF you are on the line. If you have a very long plane you go further into the corner before you turn to prevent the Inner main gear from cutting the Corner and going onto the grass which would get you a DCM on an over 150 ton plane. Some main gear bogies can also turn. Nev
  2. It's what the sailors call them that matters. Nev
  3. Does it depend on how they Rodger? Most ships are SHE. Nev
  4. The first 182's were straight tail like the one shown. RNAC had one, VH RNT. Done in 2 greens If I recall correctly. A Percival Procter used to fly the Newspapers from Sydney to Newcastle back in the days when it operated out of District Park. The distinct Noise of the Gipsy 6 Heralded it's arrival. It flew a bit faster than most small planes of the day. Nev
  5. That is due to geopolitical tensions. Nothing else. Nev
  6. Haven't you got to turn them upside down to find out? Nev
  7. ideal bleed is automatic from high points in any part of the system that may need it is not restricted to radiators. Nev
  8. It's not unusual to use two where one larger one is inconvenient. IF you want to know how effective they are, measure the radiator OUTLET temp compared with inlet. Nev
  9. Don't bother with second hand ones. Nev
  10. Having that many screwed fittings is just ridiculous.. It's like a prototype of something. Nev
  11. It wiped out the Hopes and lifestyle of many People. Started in the in 1929 in the USA. Some people actually Profit at such times. The stock Market is a Gambling House. Shareholders are the suckers if they don't have Inside Knowledge. US politicians are Buying or Unloading stock that they are passing Laws on.. It's a stacked Deck. Nev
  12. Apparently many whale noises are like that. Nev
  13. From which end? Nev
  14. I0U1. Nev
  15. I'm too risk averse to comment on that. I don't even know where it IS. Nev
