    Datum point s are fairly arbitrary. Easier to understand if you use range of mean aerodynamic chord Tail heavy is very risky often compounded by shielding of RUDDER and short tail moment arms and mass distribution lengthwise. Ie weights on engine or tail. and small area tailfeathers. Nev

    It has limited finances available and requires a priority be applied. Costs would . sink RAAus. The state police and the Coroners have the authority. To do it.. Nev

    Never use a soft Primer surfacer. (BOG) The paint will chip easily if you do.. Nev

    Gel coat is better than Paint. Once you start the Paint process you've no end of trouble. CLEAN it. Nev

    Boeing may succeed in changing that statistic. Nev

    The only plane I've flow that had a stick shaker was a DOUGLAS DC 9 which was later a Boeing 717. Nev

    Mass is best close to the Cof G otherwise it will spin flat, and be hard or impossible to recover from. This applies most to the fore and aft situation. but to engines and tanks in a wing also. Nev

    Paint adds weight also. More than you would think. Nev

    That was a DC 10. and "someone in OPS " changed the navigational tracking. Nev

    Mass distribution like you have there would produce a very bad spin recovery situation. It's ridiculous that it would ever be built. Nev

    What could it be then? It was Japan made (well) and geared and touted as the engine to replace the Rotax 2 stroke. I've got about 35 hours behind it. Kiev Prop fitted to it. Nev

    Probably suffering from Relevance Deprivation Syndrome and got pushed over the edge with a Jetstar Flight.. Nev

    I'm pretty sure the HKS engine I flew was a V twin. Comment? Nev

    Some of the cowls have actual seals which must fit perfectly to work properly . A few minutes is all i'd run one uncowled and at high power NO.. . Nev

    I made it clear Mike that I needed a picture. My advice was only general.... I've worked with a lot of Pins, rivets and sheet metal and removal of broken fasteners. Such catches are easily overloaded by people who have no feeling for catches and locks. It looks as though you could replace any damaged part easily. Nev
