Yippee Thanks, Australia for letting us revheads have ONE road . UNREGULATED FOR SPEED . Stuart highway NT It maybe restricted now to 130 klmrs p hour . SHAME ON THEM . Nò more ' expensive ' Bentley GT's going faster then light aircraft ! . ( 330 klmts p h ). spacesailor

    I went to a ' heart specialist ' . When I asked ' if ' there was something wrong . They answered. It's all in the cloud. So I cancelled my next appointment, & I feel much better for it.( never had a heart test since). spacesailor

    Why do most pitot's have the bent piping , If you use a straight pitot with a bent plastic elbow , shouldn't it work the same ? . Pipe- elbow , tubing , Instrument . I just thought about Mr King's H bird modification. Straight piece of alloy, That screwed into receptacle. spacesailor

    I bought a ' simple ' static , from A S ,and like you say $ 16 for very light ' bent alloy tube ' , with $ 32 for postage . The post-packet weighed more than the ally tube . Yes , I tried unsuccessfully a lot of times to make that tube bend to it's 90 deg shape . I have seen a modified ' pito tube ' on 19- 1944 Hummel Bird . spacesailor

    The ' ethanol ' destroyed my garden tool motors. Just blocked all the carby's by blocking the jets . spacesailor

    All this ' helmet ' , argument's , IS THE SAME AS the 1960's argument. When England enforced all motorcycle riders to wear a helmet . OR, In my case, don't ride if it's so dangerous. spacesailor PS When Are they , going to outlaw , " passenger trailer's " .

    I have a ' phone-camera ' , but when photographing wild-life, they're gone before the pics in the bag , ( bag for removing old-style film ). So not as good as a " box brownie " . No set up and no focusing. spacesailor

    Talking of fore & after c g ! . A trijet lost elevator control , ( worn worm screw ) & only just made a landing. Could using ' pax ' to move C of G to enhance Flyability. It seems a little far-fetched that All those ' searbelted people ' would not help ' themselves ' to keep ' Their ' aircraft in a stable' flight configuration . spacesailor

    WELL !, There you are , And no " dashcam " to record it . Funny how those prolific cameras , are not there when needed. spacesailor

    OR They went smaller ! . Just DNA , chemicals AND the best ' AI ' ever , to bring a " humanoid " all seeing Godlike being to ' life ' , to gather ' intel ' .On our Animal world . spacesailor

    Same thing happens at the Oaks. Landing ' Camden ' aircraft over fly the Oaks runway. Trainees are told to keep their heads down & never go hight than the circuit hight . spacesailor

    Injection was on some small ' two cylinder, German, ,water-cooled- two-strokes ' . Possibly the forerunner of " Rotax " as it looked the same , a little under 600 cc. And with separate oil Injection , just like Rotax 582 is today . spacesailor

    But ! . No milk , for your tea and mostly no sugar. And not a lot of meat . That we Australians enjoy . spacesailor

    Australian Designed Disaster ! . The ' P 76 ' that would load a 44 gallon drum into the boot, " for the farmers " . Anyone tried to lift that drum out ( of the boot ) with your fingers. spacesailor

    IS, There such a thing as fully " electrical " injection , for a two cylinder motor . spacesailor

    BUT. There seems to be an awful lot of faults in these new car's. Looked up ' Ford ' egr , lots of angst there. Mazda electrical problems . Same sort of numbers . Had to replace ' seatbelts ' in a 4 y o . Mazda 3 ! , what a problem that was. Everything had to be removed from the back of the car. Seats, quarter- panels, & all the trim around the boot to get at all the plastic fasteners. Imagine the price from a " dealership ' , plus $ 1600 each belt . ' makes me dizzy ' LoL spacesailor

    Now that's wrong !. The longer your hose the smaller the Volume getting through. The smaller volume will have reduced pressure. Happens when paint spraying with extra long hoses. spacesailor

    Only have " icing " when there's " moisture ' in the sky . SO SAID my test paper ! . spacesailor

    Makes sense. Only if you NEED/WANT a profit . Lower the ' fee's & charges ' so you Don't need to invest surplus funds. spacesilor

    My Delica will be an ' historic ' vehicle . IF, I can't bring myself to offload it . They were , earlier ( June ) selling for more than I pay'd for it 25 years ago ! . spacesailor

    BUT That Mazda motor doesn't stop when doing a gentle stop or if you use the handbrake At the lights. . spacesailor
  25. spacesailor
    I've just looked at my daughters 2019 Mazda3 !. Four cylinders, but two cut out when in ' cruise ' mode, it also stops the engine at lights , when the brake pedal is pressed hard . Great for highway And town driving. spacesailor
