    Everyone comes back to earth eventually. With the engine running you have more choice of where it happens. Be silly to write off a plane because the starter didn't work. The motor will also cool off pretty fast. Nev

    Drag not associated with lift production is termed Parasitic. Nev

    I understand that, MB. Nev

    You Have NO idea of the strength or effect till you experience one. It's pure BS to think there's a speed limit to such things. The big ones are tornadoes. IF they down power Poles/lines how will your plane or some crap "thin tin" shed fare..? Nev

    I| WOULDN'T CALL IT A COLLISION IN THE NORMAL SENSE OF THAT WORD Caps lock I'm not shouting. sensationalising. SOMEONE wasn't where they should have been. Nev

    What does 91 740 say, Nev

    Matt Black epoxy with Dymo tape. Just get it level.. Nev

    I would NOT have thought 6 to7 was a problem. It seems they have continuously raised the BAR. . Weight control should hold all that. stable. Nev

    This sort of thing discourages you from having things looked at. Nev

    Yes you do need a fuel isolator. Nev

    Even the best Engines in the world will not run with the fuel cock turned OFF.. Nev

    Records of the minutes must be retained by LAW, but it's very inhibiting to make them ALL public. It's not hard to envision the problems. Your liability as a member seems to be limited to ONE Dollar. OFFICE bearers have a greater exposure to risk and they have to be covered also. It's also a non profit Organisation, which is interesting. Nev

    It's dead easy to pull up the RAAus constitution and examine it. I have just done so. . Nev

    GOOD News stories don't get reported and this is about "Aeroplanes". If it had been a "normal" ambulance, chances are, you would not have heard about it.. . Nev

    Good luck to you. When I try THAT one, I get ignored so I just GO with the Flow. Nev

    Stupid to have such similar switches near each other. Manual trim is instant almost and bigger planes that the 737 have it. It should also have a "Trim actuating" warning light. otherwise it's an accident waiting to happen. Nev

    This is one instance of Oldies coping with "change" better than youngsters. and I CAN SEE the benefits of these new fangled ELECTRIC cars. Just call them "Cordless" and they will "get" what's happening. Nev

    There's a proper way to go about building/designing such structures. Ask to see the computations and see / check if they meet your expectations. I wouldn't go for JUST making it. They'll easily worm out of Paying out by claiming the wind weas stronger than what the design met. Nev

    THIN sheet is suss. It easily crumples and can be ripped with set of vice Jaws and a bit of strength. A pathetic gusset in a corner with bendy beams will never be rigid. You NEED trusses that are triangulated and the Proper computations The IG DOOR at one end complicates things You have to engineer a triangle ideally at both sides of the opening to make the corners stay square viewed from the front elevation Nev

    There's an error in that also. It NEVER had FULL left trim. How to you centre rudder trim Quickly? B 737 rubbish. Nev
  22. facthunter
    It's ALL a bit of a mess really Isn't it? Compared to just about any other layout.. Nev
  23. facthunter
    Something wrong with all that. It's easy to see/check if the rudder trim is not centred. I don't trust U tube to be authoritative. Nev
  24. facthunter
    It all looks too lite for me. Nev
  25. facthunter
    I wouldn't think so. Nev
