    if lets say it was a fuel fed engine fire (I'm not assuming it was) .......................... is there a fuel cut off to starve fuel ?

    nice looking plane rht - they were (and probably still are) well ahead with their standard options when they 1st came out everyone used to drool over them (and I'd say a few here probably still do) I hope you get a logical or helpful response about what will be the proclained MTOW

    done a loop in an cessna aerobat at about 1500 to 1000 feet on straight in final I was flying - instructor took control unannounced - put pedal to metal - nose down - speed up and over we went about a 30 year old instructor leaving for overseas and was one of his last flights (I suppose) with that particular club - not an overly bright thing to do me thought

    I went there once in an ultralight a few years back - parked it for a couple of hours - did some stuff and left There was no complexity or forms then - things have probably changed ? ........... but I'm sure I contacted Isaac Council and spoke to their airport rep

    can't imagine one facet of life, that where there is money floating around; ............. in our case flying around - there isn't a gatekeeper, a money taker and a license regime (Bureaucracy). Its the simple way of greasing the wheels think that was the reason that the guillotine was invented (wicker baskets were in common use)

    these 'big birds' obviously have smoke or heat detection systems - what sort of fire suppression systems do they have ? ............... and at altitude is there any oxygen to burn ?

    boat 804 - F is the next letter after E (Egypt) .................... cooukie (not spooky)

    would they have to be 5 commercial pilots ? ............................. or would PPL's be able to handle the added responsibility of smoke coming out the exhaust ? (curious about that)

    nice one Bula ! ................. tell us the planes you have and a rough hire rate (s)

    yes sealed side - between o-ring and fuel think it might be just a locator - so cap goes into socket true ?
  13. johnm
    Ayecapt ................ try this if you like ? - its worked for a lot of others remove cap (or course) tip cap upside down (of course) on base of cap - now on top cause you have tipped it over (of course) you will see a thin white / pvc plastic disc (diameter of cap) - if you use a sharp knife you can trim the excess that overhangs the edge of cap - like peeling an apple - no lubricant required

    Hello Andrew I Qantased into Emerald yesterday - an absolute swag of planes tied up - aviation seems healthy in those parts

    spoke to a bloke the other day and out of the 12 ! syndicate members - only 6 flew it (the rest didn't fly it) ..................... syndicate is potentially a good idea (me thinks)
  19. johnm
    yes Phil - out of curiosity where would say the 4 closest ultralights strips be from Wellington ?
  20. johnm
    now that's a classic looking plane Jason - any specs ? - pax's, speed, weight and motor ? thanks

    'At no point are you supposed to die during this phase, but there's not much room for error' - well put Sorry Dutch - for those with lower smarts ................ theoretically: - can there be a difference between V1 & V2 - is (or could there be with some aircraft) there a 'zone' between the 2 - or is it, when you get to V1, you are guaranteed to get to V2
  22. johnm
    ...... plough the ground Roundsounds (not plough into it) - a farmer ploughs / furrows the ground V1 is a decision speed - go or stop V2 is fly away safely Between V1 & V2 (assuming they are different speeds ?) you are going back to the ground Correct or wrong ??????????
  23. johnm
    .................. Just to get a better understanding of this - below V1 - an airline pilot can handle an engine out - they can stop on the strip or an overshoot area ? Between V1 & V2 - its a metal tube that might plough the grouund ? - not good to have an engine out in this zone At V2 you can fly away to safety (relative safety) Thanks

    a while back I was talking to a colleague about 'who was the person that attempted suicide' (I did not know who it was). The person stated it was them. I talked through it the best I could and was pleased I did (we did not discuss if they had sort professional help) .................. if I had of known it was that person that tried to suicide would I have approached them ? - I hope I would have I'd suggest that most of us would avoid that person as we would assume 'others are dealing with it'
  25. johnm
    don't go to close for my sake :D ............................ nice to see some cb's and some horizon if you see any (like you have been) thanks FHWM
