    At Penfield there was always stray traffic boring through the circuit at the same height . That's bloody rude as well as being very dangerous. Nev

    Nitrogen is an element. Early in chemistry you learn about elements, mixtures and compounds, Acids and Bases Metals and non metals. Nev

    IF Cronyism bothers you go back to the early AUF Days. It was WHO you KNEW. to live the good life. Life is very finite. We don't have the time to start a NEW RAAus . Copy places that work, like NZ. .Nev

    One advantage of having flown ultralights is you stop complaining how difficult some cars are to get into.. Did I tell you about the LOTUS I saw (and Heard) the other day. Now THAT is Lust. Nev

    Being in the circuit or doing an approach and go is a different matter. Your aerodrome circuit is YOURS. 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

    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

    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
