  1. Make them stronger and something else will deform. Fly so as you don't bend your nosewheel structure. Mild steel has relatively good fatigue characteristics.. Nev
  2. Conspiracy theorists are taking over. . There's enough true things happening without getting into the Far Fetched. Like corruption. Nev
  3. It makes it prone to fracture at low stress levels . It's NOT a surface thing. I had a crankshaft break on a race car before the motor got much above idle speed. Hadn't even been put in gear. Straight through a 2" big end journal. The crank had previously been crack tested and the chroming process was extremely expensive. The University of Technology Newcastle annex was close by and they sorted the problem. This was in the mid 50's. WHY run unnecessary risks space? Learn by other's mistakes. Nev
  4. Pretty arrogant response Ol Mate. You have NO idea of my qualifications or experience. All I wish is for people "OUT THERE" to understand there IS an issue with Hydrogen embrittlement and you sort of indicated there wasn't. It's a safety matter. Is it not.? Why don't you address the Points I made and IF you post here like everyone else here you are not immune from questioning of WHAT you post. Nev (not armchair commentator).
  5. Ask anyone to do a sideslip. Dreadful. The teaching/ demonstrating of stalls is just a box ticking exercise the way It's usually done. Nev
  6. They can FAIL. ALL OF THEM. and some ancillary part can cause it as much as an engine component. Simplicity is your friend. .Nev
  7. Looking back on what I did, I've realised that dog fighting, balloon and streamer cutting were a big part of learning limit flying, plus doing and teaching basic aerobatics where the student would sometimes do things you never dreamed of doing yourself, that required the rabbit out of a hat save. It is NOT in any syllabus. I have tried to push "Unusual attitude recovery" at least for instructors. No one appears to be listening.. Nev
  8. Skip is it JUST POSSIBLE your last post applies to you?. You are very scathing/dismissive of many other opinions, Nev
  9. Mona would be more appropriate for a few. Nev
  10. I'd stick to standard as much as possible. Easier to jump from one plane to another then. Nev
  11. What Chemical are they supposed to be spreading? Cloud seeding was done with silver iodide. Suitable clouds at a much lower level. Provides condensation nucleii for the formation of raindrops. Nev
  12. It would appear so. They have over 100 million Pentecostals. A New christian? CULT that glorifies Greed and is structured around justifying the worship of money and blaming the less well off for their OWN circumstances.. Nev
