    GOOD News stories don't get reported and this is about "Aeroplanes". If it had been a "normal" ambulance, chances are, you would not have heard about it.. . Nev

    Good luck to you. When I try THAT one, I get ignored so I just GO with the Flow. Nev

    Stupid to have such similar switches near each other. Manual trim is instant almost and bigger planes that the 737 have it. It should also have a "Trim actuating" warning light. otherwise it's an accident waiting to happen. Nev

    This is one instance of Oldies coping with "change" better than youngsters. and I CAN SEE the benefits of these new fangled ELECTRIC cars. Just call them "Cordless" and they will "get" what's happening. Nev

    There's a proper way to go about building/designing such structures. Ask to see the computations and see / check if they meet your expectations. I wouldn't go for JUST making it. They'll easily worm out of Paying out by claiming the wind weas stronger than what the design met. Nev

    THIN sheet is suss. It easily crumples and can be ripped with set of vice Jaws and a bit of strength. A pathetic gusset in a corner with bendy beams will never be rigid. You NEED trusses that are triangulated and the Proper computations The IG DOOR at one end complicates things You have to engineer a triangle ideally at both sides of the opening to make the corners stay square viewed from the front elevation Nev

    There's an error in that also. It NEVER had FULL left trim. How to you centre rudder trim Quickly? B 737 rubbish. Nev

    It's ALL a bit of a mess really Isn't it? Compared to just about any other layout.. Nev

    Something wrong with all that. It's easy to see/check if the rudder trim is not centred. I don't trust U tube to be authoritative. Nev

    It all looks too lite for me. Nev

    I wouldn't think so. Nev

    There's no mention whatever or details of any propulsion. The "Wright FLYER" was able to be banked and was more manoeuvrable than any design hitherto. The counter rotating props cancelled out assymetry. The engine was built in house. Glen L. Curtis offered to build one for them. Wright also taught themselves to fly at the same time. Nev

    The more facts you have the better your OPINION will be, and you do need "AVIATION expertise" to interpret the FACTS. in aviation matters. Nev

    Dust Devil Land. Very damaging potentially on the ground OR in the Air. Nev

    The dorsal fin is there to energise the rudder. The very forward positioning of the wheels will make it a bit directionally sensitive.. Done so you can use more braking . Nev

    Not really. They might just accept it as inevitable to have other advantages, Like driving up the ramp to load and being able to slide stuff off it in flight. Nev

    I've seen rings mounted to a long concrete beam level with the ground surface. That would work OK. Councils attitudes to Aerodromes is extremely Variable. I'd quietly make contact with other users on the way to go about things and then go upfront. Nev

    Reduce the existing deficit of pressure in the area. Another way of looking at it.. Nev

    The rear doors probably make a lift force in a downwards direction which you'd be better off without. It's shaped that way to enable the lift off Pitch angle without the tail contacting the runway Nev

    Anodising is only a "colour" in the oxidised surface. A DYE. No GOLD involved. Dural is mostly coated with pure aluminium as Its more corrosive than Pure Al. Aircraft skins are preferably alclad. Dural (TN) is usually heat treated for max strength. . Many large Aircraft Spars are made of duralumin. It's an alloy. Nev

    The President is extremely VAIN. I hope it makes HIM GO faster. That will save a lot of money. Nev

    You are like a stuck record skip. Rather than keep going on about it here, why don't you direct your attention to rectifying the FAULTS in the current application (REVIEW). You'd likely get support for that sort of approach . Nev

    Lack of authority of the rudder IN FLIIGHT is rarely a problem with a single engined plane. T/O and Landing is what I'm concerned about. Nev

    People drove them quite large distances. Is that an option? . Nev
