    Just finished watching a broadcast on a site called "rumble" with Steve Peters doing an interview with Alan Hennessy . Can't add the link as I am unable to but search for it am sure you will find it. Warning though as it's going to upset the indoctrinated prolific posters here!:-)

    Whilst I don't condone their behaviour as it just costs more money & ties up our already weak corrupt judicial system their actions does show that civil unrest will be with us for a long time whilst the lunatics in charge spread the fear & tyranny! We are just another animal species and caging us will bring reprisals! The national anthem will need to be changed..."young & free" no longer applies!

    Mate you are wasting yr time trying to convince the afraid in here, they are prolific & locked in to the fear! Just do yr own thing as I do & wait to die which I suspect I will in another 30 years like dear old dad did!

    I hear it's defunct! The council slammed the door shut! She was rarely there anyway! There's one at YMEL but the airfield is in poor condition during this very wet winter.

    jackc that's the biggest issue, too many people actually believe the daily numbers BS! The grubby premiers aren't hurting like the people on the ground, like you say they simply don't care!

    People will fight/push back against the continuing tyranny, the grubby Govt/s can't control everyone like sheep! Expect a LOT more push back!

    I'm with you FB, no poison for me I don't want to be part of the biggest human experiment known to mankind despite those that sit atop the moral high ground & preach! Today's BS speech by the lunatic Andrews was enough to make you think we are living in war torn 1941 Germany! The ABC have become so biased they've lost me!

    Nasty business:-( RIP

    Of course they do even if its thru the ones jabbing the guinea pigs!! What drug Co would produce an experimental drug for human guinea pigs without having a 'get out of jail' card? They would have to be crazy!

    The "don't push" (or words to that effect) has nothing to do with checking control surface movement by hand, not very clever never checking them at pre-flight!

    That one party event will give the grubby Andrews Govt plenty of fodder to keep the fear & hysteria at record levels! They'll milk it for all it's worth!

    Many years ago in another life I used to work for a major Oil Co for 15 years, you wouldn't wanna know what goes on behind the scenes trust me:-) Our ICE engines will run on a variety of 'quality' fuels it's more the contamination factor that is of concern.
  13. Flightrite
    you missed my point!

    They do self right, I've got many hrs in RV's & Ive done it, spin it, center the stick & it stops spinning, bit like I've mentioned already!
  15. Flightrite
    true, slip of the keyboard tongue:-)

    Unusual attitude recovery whilst in simulated IMC (at night in the Sim) is taught but it's more upset recovery training at the heavy metal end. Like all dedicated training to achieve a level it needs to be practiced & tested/checked periodically. No one in their right mind would perform spins whilst in actual IMC. With an airfame such as an RV7 just letting go off the stick at idle power would eventually self recover given enough height and still within it's normal speed range but being totally disorientated that would take one hell of a piece of mind! With the damage the airframe experienced whilst in flight a spin alone was not the cause, perhaps a desperate violent recovery attempt from unusual attitudes was the guys last ditch attempt to save the day. Tragic & so unnecessary:-(

    Spats generally have more area behind the pivot line so they 'trail' & therefore designed not to weathercock.

    It's not over yet, there must be drivers out there driving around with a spare seat next to them, tap into those M/T seats:-) You can still fly just not on yr own:-) Power to the inner drive within all of us:-)
  19. Flightrite
    Fantastic:-)

    Apart from the costs and different operating requirements it's always been difficult to design, produce & market a small GT in the 200HP range, that size powerplant is already well & truly entrenched in the industry with time proven cheap (compared to GT's) workable designs. The Allison 250 series GT's have been very successful in the low 300's to mid 400HP range but costs are way beyond most light A/C operators budget to equip or re-equip their planes/fleets. Saw just the other day replacement compressor sections for same around $50-85K! Ouch! The two biggest "ouch's" for GT's are FOD & hot starts! Ive got more hrs behind GT's than I care to remember, just glad I wasn't paying for them:-) I'd love to see a 200 HP GT and maybe I will before I hang up my flying boots (hurry up please I ain't getting any younger) but for now $$45-55K is still doable for a recip that any donkey can operate:-)

    Good luck, wish you well:-)

    The best way to improve perf is thru airframe improvements, DRAG is our enemy! You can F&ck around with the donk till the cows come home as long as it runs within it's designed parameters then look elsewhere !

    Paul whilst I somewhat understand your frustration there one has to remember that this is a public forum where anyone who is a member can reply. ALL threads on many forums tend to wander off on a tangent especially when there is little actual/factual info that can be added after the first few replies, see it all the time on numerous forums I visit from time to time. Like I've alluded to before if there was 'free' HP that could be extracted Mr Jab would have done it, as they say there's no such thing as a free lunch:-) I operate 8 Jab cylinders & accept the power output as final, and I sleep well at night too:-):-)😉

    Many people have tried to make a commercially available GT donk in the 200 gee gee range but cost & FF have always been the stumbling block otherwise the market would be flooded with such machines, be interesting to see how you manage them.
  25. Flightrite
    Well that was 24 mins of BS that I wont get back of my life! The fear & hysteria continues on!
