You don't slam your brakes on for nobody on a road train. No control once those brakes lock on. Try it in a car with a loaded trailer behind you and see what it's like to steer.
I too have only just caught up on this sad news. With his passing goes the collected knowledge of all things aeronauticle. Thank you Pud for sharing your experiences and insights with us while you could.
Have been working on doors for the T500. Frames were made by The Baron. I've covered with clear PVC and attached with riveted angle and flat.
Latch is spring loaded in the locked position.
How could that possibly change the fact that the aircraft crashed? 450kg...crash, 500kg .....crash, 600kg....crash, 650kg....crash, 700kg....crash, 750kg........hey we're still flying???????
Just been replacing hose and have found the new one shows up the fuel level quite well. I have the black and white diagonal stripes as a background but the old tube was very brown and didn't allow the fuel to be seen. All fixed. Just going to add fuel and measure 10 Ltd increments.
I'm going to replace the fuel sight tube on the thruster and was wanting to put in a colored float to make it easier to check. Sight tube is 5mm. Any ideas on what to use ?
