    Sausages are not especially healthy food, Salt Trans fats and whatever.. Nev

    Could be sulphated up and have a high resistance. When charged the Plate colour should be dark brown and grey. Nev

    Would affect everything potentially. No pun intended but if you like it you can have it. Nev

    The original manufacturer went broke. Expecting the new owners to cover this is a bit rich when often BIG NAME car makers like HONDA don't have stuff for cars over about 6 years old. Try people who make extractors for speed boats and race cars or buy preformed bends and cut and paste your own. Nev

    What WE should know with these charities is what % goes to the charity. Sometimes I fear, It's very little. THE IPA funded by people like Gine Reinhart is a tax deductible donation, and "Some of US "isn't IF you're a pensioner the tax deductibility is irrelevant.. Nev

    That's going to wreck any kind of battery. WHAT type is in there at the moment? Nev

    Unless they are just for show what you say is NOT correct. They would be weighted to comply with what is called the Beaufort scale. Nev

    I'd suggest the general view is, IF I don't win, I've still donated to a good cause.. Nev

    THAT would have to create electrical noise, surely,. Permanent magnets can lose some of their magnetism also but they are self exciting and others relying on residual magnetism may not start if the Battery is discharged. The switch is often start Off Run. Nev

    The three of them are derelict. There's windows on Airline cockpits. Before you move past the holding point have a look for traffic on final. The second plane touched down on the touchdown zone of the FAR end of the runway with stuff all distance left to pull up in.. Hairy as hell. Nev

    They are "What am I doing UP here FFS moments" Nev

    Not for me I like to be able to control some thing a bit better and even when upside down... Cope with winds. Nev

    Electric supply from a permanent Magnet source causes problems with the regulation. Most generators /alternators have electrically varied output by. ie Field coils or the rotor . Nev

    You can't be SURE unless you were THERE. Winds can be extremely Localised and seemingly come from nowhere. Nev

    Clouds will indicate rough air often when they are around to help you. Smooth edged ones are fairly harmless (lenticular). Mountain ridges are suss when there's a known wind prevailing. Talk to your Instructor and read on it. Gliding weather books can be a good source. That's what I used in my early DAYS. You're an airman and best to know about the air. Watch for Sea breezes moving through when you are going to coastal places. Their effect can be substantial and well inland from the coast.. Nev

    Bréguet 460 Vultur

    facthunter commented on red750's aircraft in Warbirds

    Built in the early 30s for a purpose. Exotic construction for the time. Metal. when a lot of things were still made of wood and biplanes abounded.. Nev

    You're flying in my old stamping ground. (out of West Maitland ) It's all pretty rough country and I'm not surprised you got a rough ride. It also has areas where the cloud can catch you as the topography gets a bit elevated,. Barrington often used to get snow. Watch the freezing level. You have NO anti icing. Nev

    LOOKS aren't everything. Nev

    Extra weight.That might be the Master? Nev

    Is that one a pull start? Nev

    Have you got a zero turn Mower?. You can pick up the headphones quicker. Nev

    Velly special price. Nev

    May be that but they are a series of Bangs out the front of the engine. Could be Foreign Object damage or a compressor blade failure or the Turbine disc that gets hottest. Nev

    Good idea with ALL U/L's. Particularly Jabiru. . Transfer to the rudder early for directional control. Nev

    The NGK plugs say don't use ANYTHING as it can be detrimental. I'd GO by their advice. if I used them. . Nev
