  1. I'm betting on a compact granite residence with a nice chiseled balcony overlooking the ruins
  2. Spacesailor, there was bloke designed such a system for light aircraft engines, but I cant remember his name ill post if I find it. the idea had more to do with cooling the undersides of the cylinders more as that was the hot spot nearest the exhaustson his chosen engine, the only downside i remember was the potential for a screen covered in oil if you had a leak. Skippy I've never measure the temp in my engine bay, are you measuring this in the cruise? p.s. 25c above ambient doesnt seem at all worrying to me, but like I' said earlier, not something I've investigated in the Rotax installs I've had.
  3. Im saying nowt
  4. No worries, it was about the Hummelbird
  5. Respecting Owners Privacy
  6. I'll PM you
  7. Brenden, here in wet and windy (almost constantly) Wales there are plenty of Jodels, Robins and even tiger moths that manage to go on year after year, as you say things like inspection holes and borescopes make it practical and any doubt revealed by such then you start thinking of cutting out bits of fabric. One great thing about wood is that within its structural limits it doesnt really have a fatigue life...unlike aluminium alloys
  8. What were the updates? bigger toilets for his fat arse?
  9. Whilst absolutely true in steady windspeeds there is a caveat you have to remember an aircraft has inertia, the heavier it is and the faster it is travelling the greater the inertia, this evidenced in Gusty conditions when you will notice your ASI Fluctuating as your aircraft doesnt immediately adjust itself to its trimmed speed. This is also applicable to an aircraft turning sharply in high windspeeds, there will be a lag in the aircraft re-assuming its trimmed speed, the lag being in proportion to the aircrafts inertia In Reality with our low inertia aircraft at relatively low speeds this is not a major consideration, but the effect does exist.
  10. It's the other way around, you need to contact them to be omitted. One possibility for not showing up is lack of nearby receiver coverage
  11. Correct term is Affirmative usually shortened to "Affirm", "Confirm" as Facthinter uses is non standard
  12. I don't doubt the story of honing still being visible at 1500 hours, the plating on 912 Bores is very hard Something I dont think many people notice is the name cast on the cylinders, a very well regarded Italian cylinder manufacturer ...they aint made by Rotax
  13. AoA (Angle of Attack) Indicator Garfly made a usefull thread covering them here...
  14. The fan blades are on backwards
