Yet Brendans post of a static engine is fine and dandy? Yea I see you matey

There is an aviation link as I described above, do you just come here to cause grief?

It needs to be about aircraft? .....Sorry thread title makes no mention😁 🤪 ...and tbf there is an aviation link to these oddities

9 cam chains ...eek Pusher prop seems odd, maybe running it backwards for reduced thrust on the rig?..what direction does the engine run?

Thanks, 30 hours seems far more in the realms of reality than 3 hours

You're kidding?, so what is the figure for whatever you class as a PPL holder then? Over here the Microlight/Light Sports pilots fly a lot more than the full on GA pilots and I don't think any class as low as 3 hour PA, in fact you'd lose your rating with hours that low.

Airports or airfields?, and who owns and funds their upkeep? (Moneybox states airfields) Interesting either way as there is no airfield/airport in my country that doesnt charge handsome fees to keep an aircraft on their premises. Are you charged landing fees or some other movement charge at these 3 'airports'

Eh?, were you expecting it to be free?

I used to think we had an over abundance of bureaucracy here in the UK, but reading the machinations on here makes me almost feel blessed

Apologies if most are already familiar with the story of this incredible Lady .... the Ercoupe pic in the silly forum reminded me and I thought maybe this would help inspire a student who was struggling a bit as to what is possible if you really want to do it.

If you can drive a car, you can fly an airplane.” That's what advertisements from the Engineering and Research Corporation said about the Ercoupe, a plane you purchased from a department store and was once billed as the Ford Model T of airplanes

They also had huge 'runways' to get off

Had a locally made wood prop (Newton) with that type of leading edge, went through a few light showers with no visible harm. Only had the aircraft for 200 hours (prop was new when I got it) but the prop looked good after that amount of time. Wood props do require care in installation and do tend to go out of balance with moisture changes. Good practice is to always leave parked with blades horizontal (assuming 2 blade as most are) don't leave out in the blazing sun without some protection and take care not to crush the hub when installing or damage the finish as this lets moisture in

What a wonderful name for an aerodrome
