  1. Their English is better than My Mandarin. Nev
  2. US gallons are little ones as are the quarts. Nev
  3. Offset of the bores doesn't stop piston clatter Only offset gudgeon pins do Then there a force greater on one side to tilt the Piston. The "W' slot piston causes the crown to run much hotter than it otherwise would. risking detonation.. Nev
  4. Duel Tank? Them's fighting words. Nev
  5. Look UP de Saxxe Principle. The offset is to stop piston rock and simulate de saxxe and at the same time reduce the Load on the thrust face of the Piston on the Power stroke. In my view those pistons are CRAP and are not suited for an aero engine as they are "W" slotted. They are the MAX oversize of a VN commodore. Reversing the Pistons will affect the Ignition timing. Nev
  6. It's NOT worth it. Nev
  7. If you are the sort of person that Panics get another hobby and save money and time. Flying is not forgiving enough for you. Nev
  8. The thread starter HERE Is "VFR into IMC".. Good subject for consideration and an opportunity to LEARN. Nev
  9. RAAus DID HF for everybody. CASA directed. Wasn't handled well. Plenty of crusty old Barstewards thought it was BS. Needs to be a constant up dated thing. CASA didn't want it considered in Investigations though (Guess why) Insurance companies gave credits for it.(Wisely) Another failed opportunity. Nev
  10. I don't think "Mr Cessna" would suggest it's use in other than "certain" Cessna's either. ( Liability) Instant IMC would be very rare. There's usually plenty of warning Also Under the hood (without cheating) is a very good way (SAFE , LEGAL & Accepted) to train for the IMC situation . Nev
  11. It's informative to look up what the Purpose of a Coronial Inquest is. It's quite specific. Also what qualifications a Coroner must have. Nev
  12. You won't achieve Justice often and perhaps not even the proper application of the LAW. The Richest Lawyers work for the CROOKS. Nev
  13. Coronial Inquests are NOT places where people should be, or have to be, using Lawyers Nev
  14. Who is a LEGAL Expert? The rest are uselessly speculating. The recent CBUS case (political) Just FINED the "Organisation " Millions of dollars". That was MEMBERS FUNDS. . RAAus should have Indemnity insurance for their Officers of some kind. No one in their right mind would do the Job without it . The Coroner is involved when some one dies to look into the cause of the death. That was the plane losing control and descending at a high Vertical speed probably due to Icing and spatial disorientation. No one forced the Pilot to fly that day. Coroners are often not full bottle on aircraft or medical etc. One said Motorbikes would be safer IF they didn't lean over so much. Nev
  15. Engine vibration is destructive also. All these senders are quite Unreliable. It's a harsh environment for them Nev
  16. Was that Helpful? It's not too big a hope that Members do feel they have a stake in the RAAus continuing to exist. . IF it doesn't what's next? Warbirds are in a similar position regarding the extent of possible liability. IF it's too high It's just NOT affordable, by Normal people. Nev
  17. That could be ONE interpretation. I wonder what he LEGAL interpretation of THAT is.? I looked it up. Quite nebulous. You are entitled to Be told the Limits of your liability as a Member. Nev
  18. It DID go to the Cessna POH which would be presumptuous to apply Carte Blanche. Planes have different Stability Parameters. A more "Neutral" plane is better in turbulence and the spiral situation. Nev
  19. The Thread title IS VFR into IMC. Nev
  20. Does everybody fly Cessna High wings? Nev
  21. IF the ball is not centred you will feel a sideways force in your seat. It's unbalanced flight. (skidding). Nev
  22. Ground to Tower also. SMC Towers don't fly. Nev
  23. ICAN would be obsolete OK in an old Warbird I guess for looks. ( Single pointer) Based on a different standard atmosphere Same as the Old Nickel plated Brass Prayer wheel. I'd have one of those somewhere. Nev
