There MUST BE a correct fit. Nev

Nitrogen to all intents and purposes is INERT. It only combines at extremely high temps, which is fortunate as it is 78% of the earth's atmosphere. Nev

Nitrogen Power? Nev

That's why you don't grab the shroud of a CO2 fire extinguisher when discharging it.. . It freezes. Nev

Jet engines lack "Character".Nev

You shouldn't have to do that and how is anyone else going to Know where you are? You can fly parallel and call "abeam" Nev

Controls have good feel (Rods) Rudder could be bigger, Treat stalling with respect, It can Bite, Handbrake could be "different". Are you 3 pointing or wheeling it on? Solo it is different to 3 point than with 2 onboard. Stop swing early and positively Rudder works a lot better when power is on. Practice bounced well controlled go arounds. IF you're not happy go around. Get used to having a RUDDER. and USING it. Nev

Do it quick and no one notices it and it has been known to rain Cats and Dogs. but when a cargo plane blew up over Japan, it rained Datsun Cogs. Nev

You'd think he'd get enough of it in his DAY job? Nev

What impression did you have of the aeroplane? I did my initial training on one. The best way to get rid of the cat is roll inverted and it will fall away. Don't worry about the cat . They always land on their Feet and find their way home. Nev

Dunlop bult the Pump and I only experienced one (Partilal) failure and never heard of any others. It's a 4 stage pump to 3600 Psi. . Air brakes on a Plane are a bastard to use. They had antiskid called "Maxaret" Nev

It wouldn't want to come loose or seize up. Pneumatic pressure brings the gear UP FAST and helps the climb gradient achieved. Nev

THEY (3AW)select/encourage the Audience and love to stir about anything they can dig up. Too negative for me . I have no doubt that this one will rate as the worst. . Airshows are not attended by a big section of the Community either. Nev

Air compressors are not that inefficient if they are made well.. Universal gas laws prevail. Heat energy can be lost in most set ups. Some planes were users of compressed air for brakes, steering and U/C extension. retraction. 3600psi 4 stage air compressor (Dunlop)in the F 27. Nev

Thats the sort of $#!t 3AW thrives on but ... disappointing and people will vote with their feet.. Nev

IT IS Bl@@dy dangerous wherever it happens. IMHO. Nev

Penfield would have raked in a lot of Dough applying that. People were always zooming through the Circuit there. Nev
-
The USER has no say in it. Like it or quit Aviation.. Doesn't pass the Reasonable test. Like a lot of things in Aviation. Nev
-
The PIC has a legal responsibility to Operate in the safest possible way. Think about that, because IF the $#1t hits the FAN that's how you will be measured. Nev
-
Yes It would not be an everyday occurrence. Nev
-
Doesn't look like what it used to be. . HARS would be a better way to spend time viewing. Nice People, all volunteers, good sit down food, under cover civilised unrushed and educational (guided) even if you are not a MAD aeroplane NUT. They have a website. (I'm not connected other than I did my first time at the controls there (Shellharbour) when I was 18. (67 years ago). Nev

The remnants of the WA low are giving more rain to Western Qld. Likely for a few more days into April. This is unusual .Nev

Shocking glider landing. Nev
-
They don't like floating logs. Nev

CAN the Topic be altered? There's no such thing as a nitrogen engine. Nev
