    You don't even TRY to understand. I've asked you to Drop it but you just persist regardless. I'm disappointed you support him, Thruster. . I try to help find facts. That's why I come here in a general concern for safety You're really arguing over NOTHING. I said I USE Google a lot but not everything that comes up is the genuine thing. That's ALL I'm bloody saying FFS.. Get REAL. Nev

    Did He make it? Find out in the Next fascinating episode of "How was your LAST flight?" I don't know if I've had mine yet. Nev

    Drop it will you? This sort of thing puts people off posting here. It's just a $#!&^* interrogation. Wake up to yourself. Nev

    I think YOU are over reacting Danny. Of course Google is a useful search engine I use it all the time but you can't TRUST everything that Pops up on the NET. Nor is the University of U tube the Last say in everythjng . It's JUST not THAT easy. Nev

    I'm sure we've all had fuel gauges where the LAST 1/2 disappears faster than the First half. (Hinged float arm).. In practical terms there's little you can do about it. With long thin wing fuel tanks, readings are all over the Place. You just rock the wings to see if there's still some fuel there. Your main consideration is How much you started with. How long you have been in the air and what your proven fuel consumption IS.. Based on use in practice and recorded over a considerable period or the POH figures . Nev

    As far as I know In Basic aircraft, the only fuel gauge you can calibrate is one where the fuel level is marked on the side of the container and drain all Useable fuel and add known amounts and mark it at intervals.. As a general rule fuel gauges cannot be relied upon to be that accurate and can NEVER be used as a determination of fuel on board at the commencement of a flight without other back up. Nev

    When you have switched, the TEST comes at Divided Road intersections. Motorbikes have the most variations with gear change location and Patterns With planes instructors have to be the most versatile. You might fly 6 different planes in a day and from whatever seat required.. They ALSO have to be ready for students doing weird things without notice. 3 cheers for GOOD Instructors. Nev

    It had to be one or the other and innovators are leaders not followers. I'm definitely Right handed No way could I paint a picture or do a drawing with my left hand but never had an issue with going left to right seat in Planes or changing hands for the throttles or starting engines from either side. I guess most people are different to a certain degree. IF you HAD to I think you'd try hard and have some success. I never thought it would happen, but I do type with both hands. Nev

    SO... We have NO idea whether they make a profit or not. IF it's a service to the Public try telling the People who will never use it why THEY should pay/subsidise special users. It's the ATTITUDE of Melbourne Airport DEMANDING it be Underground. that raises my IRE. That place is a Licence to Print Money. Nev

    There's a Place on the way to Maryborough, Pyrenees Hwy "Receding Airlines". . Nev

    It was a GENERAL statement. Helicopters can be an exception too. I've met Pilots who don't do well in a LHD car in their proper environment. and some who get their hands mixed up when they change seats. . Nev

    The Peter Abeles one in Sydney wasn't a raving success. . Nev

    Google has veracity? IF only it were so.. Fools abound and they are good at it.. Beware of them. They cause all of us, Grief. Nev

    At the end of the day there has to be SOME form of oversight as always its for the Lowest performing cowboys or whatever that ruins it for everyone.. People are fundamentally lazy and cut corners when not watched. She'll be right Mate, is alive and well. That's OK if it only affects YOU. but it's not like that. It's a culture , safety and IF the show doesn't have it you will eventually "draw the Crabs". Nev

    People go to Airports from EVERYWHERE. and often have a bit of luggage. When there's an outage or fault busses always fill in at short notice. They have flexibility and could be EV. Dedicated lanes on some roads are used.. Rail lines use a lot of real estate . Needs a high rate of utilisation to justify and block traffic where there's a level crossing . Not always easy to avoid having in flat areas. Nev

    We have a bloke who wants to copy him. Brazil had one also. Nev

    WE hear what goes on THERE all the time.. Nev

    Why is RAIL better than Busses for that situation? Busses can handle baggage better and is more flexible and why should people who rarely fly pay for this feature. Melbourne Airport MONOPOLY even demands it be UNDER GROUND. Get REAL. Nev

    Thanks for the lengthy explanation . Note there is NO residue from Ethanol OR Methanol per se but there is likely water absorbed in either that causes the corrosion with alloy carburettors, that are not specially treated as many Magnesium (more corrosive) aero parts are. They should all be provided with a bowl drained from the Lowest point. (where the sediment collects).. Water anywhere in motors is a problem with corrosion especially where dissimilar metals occur.

    Yeah spacey just imagine how long any gov't would survive springing something like that during covid. The long term advantage is Cheaper vehicles. Sometimes the Conversion is Inferior. Some vehicles have the engine off centre. Nev

    "Trickey Dicky" but he did a few good things. Bugging the Democratic Convention wasn't one of them as it turned out. HE was one of the more intelligent ones. I'm not being sarcastic there. Nev

    You have to abide by the rules wherever you are. The majority of cars made are LHD.. The PIC sits in the lefthand seat of an aeroplane. Get with it. Nev
