  1. Coarsening the Prop is like selecting a higher gear. It loads the engine. Nev
  2. WHO are you talking to?
  3. Yes they are substantial and you check that area pre flight. I think there's a mod there. Nev
  4. It's obvious that the greatest BENDING moment is at the forward part of the boom. In similar situations (Stress points) SPARS are made stronger by having caps or doublers. With tubes you can insert another tube inside. Check out a thruster in that area. Nev
  5. What's "Fudge factor/speed"? Ground Nautical miles/litre would be a real world performance indication. Nev
  6. There could easily be significant injuries to personnel. Nev
  7. As I've mentioned W&B has a pass mark or 100% in ALL the exams that I've had to do.. Nev
  8. WE posted together. Anyhow I'll leave you with it.. Nev
  9. OK but there's a good argument for doing it the accepted way, in my book. Is there anything you can move forward to move the balance point.? Nev
  10. It doesn't have to be a real place. You clearly designate it and base your figures on it. I'm led to believe it's done all the time. Nev
  11. It would be better to have the datum say 500 mm forward of the spinner. At some time you might alter weights forward of the Wing LE and you avoid dealing with negative figures. Nev
  12. You ARE getting towards the REAR of the permitted range. It's NOT the best place to be. Nev
  13. That Mob GAMI in USA are trying to produce a new fuel to replace 100LL which for sure will be discontinued someday. Nev
  14. EXACTLY You need to enrichen a COLD motor to start it. Nev
  15. I'm familiar with all those places you mention and how unsatisfactory and dangerous those Lanes can be. Flying in CTA also has it's problems. Better transit zones are what is needed.. and expect better performing radios and procedures to be required in any case,. Nev
  16. Just something to bear in mind. Make sure you have the Cof G or the various loads in the correct place with the pitch horizontal. You look to be tending to tail heavy. How much can you fit in the Baggage area and how far back does it go.? Nev
  17. The plane must stay in balance with all useable fuel gone. Nev
  18. It's "normal" to review at 12 months. Most comments were against restrictions applying. Nev
  19. They were Airsick. Nev
  20. 15 Fahr is not that cold.. Holding in FOG at that temp would have a fair chance of ICE accretion, (RHYME) and a high drag/low lift situation occurring and causing the accident.. Nev
  21. IF it's really LOW it may be a zero turn ride on Mower.. Nev
  22. That is all happening in the USA. Nev
  23. NOW there's an effective rudder on a small plane. Nev
  24. Are you trying to qualify as a HAM actor? It was, " Is Don, IS Good.". Nev
