Phil Perry Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Jesus entered the Forum, and Jesus wept.OME I really knew a lad with that name, although he pronounced it Hey Soose. . . I infected him with a maniacal desire to be an airline pilot ( ? ) flying him around in both light aircraft as well as trikes, and I met his Brother last year in a supermarket, he told me that little Brother was back in Brazil, working for a local airline on turboprops, but aiming to upgrade to jets sometime soon. . . ( I last saw Hey Soose fourteen years ago BTW,. . . so he's obviously been hard at the flying lark. . .)

facthunter Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 I think the triplane used the bigger Bentley BR2, Phil PS, Further research indicates it is probably a Clerget 130 hp. The BR2 went into the Sopwith Snipe a better plane than the triplane. The single row BR1 replaced the Clerget ..Nev
Oscar Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 It is, in fact, the first prototype of an ingenious French ( who else... they invented Citroens) automated dried-garlic production machine. You can see the garlic bulbs on the drying platform immediately behind the wing-shaped air-blast garlic chute device used to deposit the bulbs removed from the field. The design principle was stunningly original: the machine would be driven at high speed, utilising the long-wheelbase for stability, through the paddock/field, with the unsilenced Anzani single-cylinder engine frightening the bulbs clear out of the ground where they would be collected in the capacious centre-'hold' or 'bin' area. When the 'bin' was full, the machine would be turned towards the drying platform and by turning very tightly to the right - aided by the dumpy tail operating in the prop-blast - the bulbs would roll up the delivery chute and be spread over the drying platform quite evenly. This distribution was aided by the wide but shallow shape of the delivery chute ( only required on one side, for obvious reasons) and the aerodynamic shape of the chute provided lift in the accelerated phase of the turn to counteract the weight of the bulbs as they ran out to the 'tip' of the delivery chute.

Oscar Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Tecnams and Chinese production? Any - and I mean ANY - obvious supporter of Jabiru aircraft who comments on THAT, is going to start WWIII....
facthunter Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 I though I saw somewhere they had switched to the Lycoming 0-233's Nev

Oscar Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 As the wonderful, wonderful British author Terry Pratchett said: 'put a switch in the deepest cavern in the most remote part of the universe, with a sign saying 'End of the Universe switch, Please Don't Touch' - and the paint wouldn't even have time to get dry.

willedoo Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 NEW !. . . Inclusive, Friendly pedestrian crossing lights. . . . .? But what does it mean, Phil - that it's ok for two red people who like each other to cross the road together, or is there some deeper meaning? Cheers, Willie.
Litespeed Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 NO quite obviously If you are cuddling the man next to you- you are not safe to cross
pmccarthy Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 I think it means if you touch my tits I'll wring your neck.
