cliff banks the guru of the jabiru , told me the 55s were his favourite jab to fly, like a little sportscar. he also had the first j170 wing, did the testing and evaluation on it before it went into production.
yes i did find it after much searching. i am only a dumb truck driver.
i bow to the mighty one once again. don't tell raaus how dopey i am when you do your report, it looks bad on my logbook.😁
much simpler in a rag and tube, put fuel in and fly, don't worry about all that bullsh#t.
they make us do w& b sheets in flight training but i don't plan on carrying passengers or driving anything bigger than a c150.
show me where i have said i was a licensed pilot and where i raised an alternative. and metric does not have an e on the end, i thought the smartest bloke in australia would know that.
Sorry. I should keep off the thread I started. I simply made a statement about the mix of metric and imperial, somehow it always ends up with digs and insults from you. Thanks for that.
I would not call me a pic for a start.
And metric to imp conversions can cause issues even in the big plane world. Remember the airliner that dead stick landed on a dragstrip in Canada because an American ground crew fuelled them up with pounds but the numbers given were kg.
so explain to me why, when i read aircrafts specs they recommend a higher maneuvering speed at max weight and a lower speed for lighter weight. i thought an airframe would get stressed more in turbulence if it was carrying more weight.
have you ever thought about raising the mtow. i read somewhere it can be done because stall comes in under 45 with full flaps at 544kg. the 430 was done with a clean stall.
does anyone besides me find it odd that when you listen to awis the wind speed is in knots, the cloud height is in feet and visibility is in kilometers.
instead of going between imperial and metric why isn't there one standard.
do you talk in some sort of cryptic turbo code, i have no idea what you are talking about. why does it have to be so hard to post a video i thought was informative.
