    Only turbo props have BETA and not all of them, Red (herring)? Shall we stop the Insults before it starts.? Nev

    Are you a student of Carl Marx or are you referring to the Latin "Maker of Children" Interpretation.? Nev

    I described it as MORIBUND. Turbs I've done my bit for Aviation ALMOST. I must prioritise at this stage. It's up to younger folks to step up to the Plate. I JUST want to fly IS never enough. Nev

    There's only Liability in it for the CASA. IF someone was put in charge of it they would see it as a punishment, NOT a Promotion.. Don't shoot me I'm only the messenger. RAAus don't want IT either, I'd Wager. Same Philosophy. AS for the general Public? Couldn't care LESS I would reckon. There ARE JOBS in all of this. Interesting ones. Nev

    Are you being sent there as a punishment for something? Nev

    That's why I started a New Topic on it. Turbs. Col we "need" an AOPA in the BIG scheme of things. . AOPA was often distracted by some of the CEOS with an agenda other that what the MEMBERS wanted. Nev

    IF it's Moribund It's not worth it. A .Pathy..

    That would not be cheap or easy to build. The light Max weight of this category would be a show stopper for some. Nev

    Perhaps everything's going so well, It's not needed by Aircraft OWNERs & PILOTs? Nev

    Turbo with Beta will descend faster with no engine cooling shocks. Nev

    My first reply was abut Cunk. It was posted at the time you were posting yours so I hadn't seen it. Nev

    Regarding the AOPA .It's the Only vehicle truly independent vehicle for a strong voice in Aviation. I was in it for Years. All pilots should be. Nev

    Master of the Art of asking the most inane questions possible and keeping a straight face. She's Like Pecks Paste. A little bit of her goes a long way Nev

    I agree with Turbo. Many pilots like to pile it one someone who's had a misfortune with their Kite. Of course it won't even happen to any of them?? Nev

    Esperance is nicer than Wagga .My sympathies. Nev

    Who OWNS it? Nev

    Thruster 88 I suggested something like that what now seems ages ago. A design has to be practical or it's a gadget or contraption. Form follows Function. Nev

    You haven't listened to a word I've said. "Bow" anyhow. Nev
  19. facthunter
    Have either of you two ever operated planes with cowl gills? Nev
  20. facthunter
    Rubbish Geoff. My view is fully backed up by my explanations based on a lot of experience. Discipline is a vital part of aircraft design more than most other and I put safety at the top of the list and will continue to do so. I'm, NOT against cowl flaps and have pushed them for YEARS. Simplicity IS safety. I'm very open to GOOD practical ideas. Overcomplicating this actuation is certainly NOT one of them. ALSO you are not the only person with University engineering and materials and structural technology training. F me this shouldn't need to be said. "Fiddling" with things aeronautical is risky. Nev
  21. facthunter
    Entirely different aspect to the CASA request. Nev
  22. facthunter
    Cowl control is before the event as well as reactive to a condition. ie shock cooling on a Power off descent of significant duration Like after para drop or when an engine has been feathered. Gills to "Trail" in the circuit where you are busy and open on the ground after landing. Nev
  23. facthunter
    Now we are going Automatic.? .Totally unnecessary. A wax stat has very little actuating power and moves about 5/16 th of an inch. That Fiat is also fan cooled and operates under widely varying loads in a totally different environment to an aero engine, on the ground, where IF it fails you just stop and fix it. Nev
  24. facthunter
    They are looking for "More" video or information. NOT our opinion of what caused it, based on what is already available.. It SHOULD have had plenty of power.. Nev
  25. facthunter
    It looks like being too slow and getting above ground effect. There could have been windshear or a gust/ wind change. That's all it takes. Nev
