Fancy the commentator saying that putting the engines there was a “deliberate decision”! So we know they're not there by accident?

At Roma, the person driving the vehicle and wearing the vest won't tell you the gate code unless you shown him an ASIC. At Quilpie, Charleville and Archerfield (!), the code is written on the inside of the gate. I expect that you could get someone to tell you the code at Roma. So, you could probably get away with most small places without a card. If you have the gate code, you can get to the toilet, leave the aerodrome and get back in again.

That's just what I was looking for, but did not find one when I was looking for one a few years ago. I ended up getting an MSA/Gallet at much greater cost. The MSA/Gallet was really, really uncomfortable for the first 10 hours. The tinted visor is really, really good quality, but.

Recovery from a spiral dive is power down, elevator slightly forward, roll wings level, then pitch (ref: Airplane Flying Handbook, FAA). You need to move the elevator slightly forward so you don't over stress the aircraft even levelling wings. Of course, in a stall or spin, rolling the wings level first will cause problems. My guess is that in an UA, the first thing to do is unload the elevator/AOA as you are checking your airspeed. Disclaimer: I have 150 hours.

What plane did you get?

6’4” Foxbat is fine. Sivana was not fine at all. You can order a foxbat with cutouts for knees.

Only if the pilot has bariatric surgery.

Poor Stewart stacked his pride and joy and forum people want to carry on about posts about the island’s name!! Strewth…..

You might want to train in a Cessna 152 Aerobat. It has tricycle landing gear, so it is easy to land. It is inexpensive. It is aerobatic, so you will be able to get the thrills you desire. I don't think you are obliged to be humble, to be honest. It's not like you said that you could already do stuff already.

edited...mod . How people come up with goals is they see themselves doing something that they would like to, work backwards and work out where to start from. That's what everybody does.

Personification is a legit literary device.

Sounds like he was playing, as young animals do.

Net says: “According to Poiseuille's law, the flow rate through a length of pipe varies with the fourth power of the radius of the pipe.” So, if your new pipe’s radius is ⅔ of the old pipe’s radius, the new max flow rate is 1/5 of what it was. You have two pipes, so the max flow is 2/5 what it was. (assuming the same length pipe). Based on that (not other things) the answer is no. Disclaimer: have never built an aircraft. Have built a tree house.

I would just make sure my ASI was in good order, and that you can fly safely without reference to it (attitude, wind noise). The wingbug seems like a nuisance: expense, drag, needing to open an app - in a semi emergency when you should be flying by attitude - to use it, struggling to read the ASI on the app, replacing the battery every 12 hours. REPLACING THE BATTERY EVERY 12 HOURS. Disclaimer: I have a massive 134 hrs.

Do kindly refer back to your original post.

The author’s arguments against wing-down landings were 1) crossed controlled is not how you normally fly, 2) the aiming point changes, 3) descent rate changes and 4) that’s not how aces/full-time/pros/airline-pilots/he does it. Those are the worst arguments ever. What a toss pot, referring to himself as an ace.🙄 The author neglected to mention that airliners cant land in a sideslip, so airline pilots don’t have to worry which method is best. The author also ignored that airliners have a larger mass to surface area ratio and therefore will be blown sideways less than light aircraft. It’s not like they have to tie them down lest a gust blows them over. And that airliners dont get damaged if you land in a crab. The argument against crossed control flying is particularly bad, because crossed control flying is associated with danger. The exception is sideslipping, where crossed controlled flight is perfectly safe. In other words, crossed controlled flying while landing is safe. The article also didn’t bother attempting to answer the important questions: when do you straighten the nose? How do you stop yourself being blown sideways? The problem with the Foxbat is that sideslipping, one can run out of rudder when the cross wind is not too strong. It doesn’t look like Air Facts is what it once was. Wasn’t it started by the guy who wrote Stick and Rudder?

Isn’t 90C max for too cool for oil because the water does not get boiled out?

As far as I can tell, it is not possible to post to the off topic forum. Besides, I enjoy the off topic comments.

I have heard bad things about tilt doors and wind. I suppose you should see an example of the door you plan to use.

I have know idea how you all know these things.

That is true. I should clarify. I was talking about landing where there is no strip at all.

I can't remember which regulation it is, but it seems that it is legal to land anywhere it is safe to land. So, if you land safely, that was legal. If you land and crash, that was illegal. 😀

I am no expert, but isn’t lead-acid equivalent relevant because lead acid batteries have better cranking current capacity, relative to Li batteries, if they have the same Ah’s?
