  1. It's adrenalin. Normal stress reaction. It wakes you up. Learn the causes of turbulence and be alert for it.. It CAN toss you upside down and do all manner of things.. Nev
  2. A fixed pitch prop designed for the right speed can be more efficient than a CS AT THAT SPEED. CS can have reliability issues. On the fine pitch stops what airspeed will it do? Nev
  3. You can use them on any broadcasting radio station if you know the location of their antenna. King is good stuff. Nev
  4. The "shaky Islands Land of the wrong white crowd and tricky winds" .Makes better pilots. Nev
  5. What actual figures are being encountered? You'd have to have a pretty good idea of the reality. Using fuel bleed to cool the fuel seems to add risk.. Nev
  6. Who does but it's fine on a C-150 with a Cont. 0-200. Fluid won't flow uphill without assistance. Nev
  7. The pump can't create volume. It can produce negative pressure on the suck side and positive on the other. Gravity produces pressure also from energy of position. Potential energy. like height in an aeroplane. Nev
  8. Pressure doesn't remain constant unless there is no flow.. That's when you have a confined fluid. Pressure measuring at various points would show reducing pressure . Nev
  9. Those planes would have a good chance of fetching a good price in todays circumstances. Some "Equity " people are the most ruthless. Nev
  10. Filled up and operated on the right routes they are still viable. No? Nev
  11. Anything over 20 years old would be pretty ordinary. Anything used commercially would have a million K's on it . . Nev
