    They don't do you any good either or guarantee no heart problems going forward. Nev

    Genuine Factory approved Parts carry a warrantee and an assurance that it meets OEM standards . Just any aftermarket No name, is lucky to fit with no comeback. Some Brand names like Koni or Bilstein Brembo may be better than original There would be oil filter brands that can be relied on and SOME may even be superior to original, but plenty I would NOT fit if they were free. Especially on an aeroplane. ,IF the fit of the thread on the nipple is not good, check why.

    I'd estimate it at about 60. , Nev

    I know of a bloke who was too fat and did it by injecting adrenalin to het the Pulse rate up ATPL. Nev

    IT would NOT be a GENUINE FORD "Motorcraft" hose for sure. Do you believe every thing you ,read Turbs? nev

    They are not stress rated for much more, nor are airliners. IF you hit turbulence at the same time it's additive. 60 is 2 G that's safe in still air Goa bit more and it increases faster per degree. ..Nev

    PEACE of Mind it is.. I know a bloke who doesn't do checklists either and he's done 4 circuits without any problems. Nev

    Airliners can't exceed 30 degrees these days without having to answer for it. The load when banked depends on the AoA of the wing and Airspeed. The AoA is controlled by the Elevators. I'd consider above 50 degrees steep if I had to pick a figure. A well executed barrel roll wouldn't pull excessive "G" or spill a cup of coffee. Nev

    Got any idea's Nev
  10. facthunter
    Maybe,. Used copper washers go hard and they Have to fit the "stem" snugly so as to sit in the same position laterally or it may not seal well. New exactly correct one each time? Nev

    They only collect steel Particles. It should not keep happening . The magnets are good as indicators of WEAR of CERTAIN parts. and also remove the particles from circulation Nev
  12. facthunter
    I would not like to see it keep shedding steel. Keep checking it. The oil is doing a big job in there. Nev

    Never use fibre It can crack. Having nothing is quite safe. It's aluminium you are seating on. (As long as the thread is true to the shoulder and that's easily checked). Nev

    Metal to metal is better IF it's tapered. at the seat.. Spark plugs have a single use compressible sealing washer with a torque figure. "Trapped" "O" rings are OK Don't require much torque and can't move and fail.. It has to be fail safe.. Nev

    Best way to loosen them is to get a Brass drift with good flat ends and give it one good hit/tap straight on with an engineers hammer.. Most people over tighten these things,. (Butchers) Nev
  16. facthunter
    That is not always possible. The rate at which Decalin is added is small, 1 ounce /10 us gallons. It's essentially a solvent. Nev
  17. facthunter
    Valuable to indicate wear is happening.. You shouldn't have difficulty if it's not overtightened That type is in pretty common use these days. Nev

    IF you have your X country you can go anywhere. IF you've been checked on ANY Tailwheel plane and it's signed off you can fly any other tailwheel without any more paperwork.. It might be prudent to be cautious if the new plane is a bit Tricky or you haven't a lot of tailwheel time and a bit rusty. Nev

    Nicely on topic. Kero tractors are the same as petrol ones but with lower compression and often chromed bores and an extra heating type Inlet manifold. to vapourise the Kero. They therefore give considerably less power and only made sense where kero was cheap. They commonly suffered from Oil dilution as well rendering the oil too thin and requiring replacement. Nev

    You are off on a tangent , spacey. Do you know what adverse aileron effect is? Even IF you DO, SOME don't. Normal ailerons are Markedly DIFFERENTIAL or even FRISE. It's demonstrated competency with all of these "endorsements" IF you're an Ace of the Base you sail through. Nev

    Some of those early unleaded fuels were dreadful . One of them left everything with a PINK colour. Valve seats recessed. nev

    Look I've seem them on Motorcycles (off road)and a lot of Plastic stuff is going very brittle with age.. Often sunlight is part of it. I'd like to see what is often done to race car tanks where they are pretty crash resistant. Nev
  24. facthunter
    A lot (most ) small low landing speed planes have flaperons but adverse yaw is more present with this type of lift enhancing fitment. Larger fin and rudder is fitted than other wise would be the case. If you are a rudder active pilot you will not notice it that much. Some pilots MAY not be aware of this. Anticipation is better than reacting to it . SLOW planes don't like gusting conditions.. Nev

    No plastic Tank in a motor car resembles that type to my Knowledge. I've seen similar on some Motorcycles but they definitely have a limited life. Nev
