    50 hour oil change ! . My half VW is TEN hours. But a four container of oil lasts forever. LoL OR 60 litres of " mogas " per oil change . Expensive. spacesailor

    And , the ' roller ' door loses it's springs. & forever closing down on you . But those ' electric roller doors ' just jam , ( at the most awkward time ) . I haven't seen a ' horizontal roller door ' Yet . spacesailor

    Don't rely on the OLD compass , you could pass over an ' anomaly ' . And do they last forever ! . Without a periodic ' oil-change ' . LoL spacesailor

    Interesting read !. Were did all these mysterious anomalies come from so suddenly ! . AND if only small , on a longish flight , wouldn't it cancel itself out after passing the anomaly. spacesailor

    9G That's a lot More than most aircraft wings can stand!. My Hummel is 6 G . So at 9 G the wings drop off . spacesailor

    BUT Every compass is different, hence you Have to ' turn " the aircraft or boat , to all four cardinal points of said compass & write that error on a " proper " card. Not just a scrap of paper ( tea bag box is a strong cardboard ) , cut to fit in the appropriate ' holder beside your compass . ALL very ' old school ' , just in-case your " gps stops working ,! & your brain retains the knowledge to use mental arithmetic spacesailor

    DEVIATION. ! . ( card ). A' card ' with the error ' written on it . To be used at each " compass point " . .to correct the known error, out . spacesailor

    Does it ' cut out ' those exorbitant postage costs . That double your purchase price, IF it even gets delivered. I am in need of " wicks " anchor nut ' ms21069 ' 6-32 ( the smallest ) thin 5/32 thread with two 3/32rivets . Cheap as chips until that postage hits . spacesailor

    ' I only went for a tinkle ' . And the discussion was about " changing filters " . Oh sheet , I crapped there again . LoL spacesailor
  25. spacesailor
    We " Mitsubishi Delica " owner's often put an extra oil filter in , as the factory one is in a " dangerous " position, right above a bolt shank , so easily pierced. . One filter or two kits , with little difference in the price or fitting. spacesailor
