  1. Essayer said than done, Nev
  2. It was for a particular use In Africa. "Synching' the Engines will drive you nuts and It won't fly on ONE without feathering.
  3. I would consider WE are not immune from it but WE are NOT America and the "Imitators" haven't gotten far. Like the same people tried with the TEA Party. Copiers are NOT "Thinkers". Nev
  4. There's NO Need for you to withdraw, Don. Nev
  5. It's become obvious to a Lot of Knowledgeable Oz People that the Current White House or CIA/FBI cannot be TRUSTED by Us. Nev
  6. Haven't I told you a Million times not to exaggerate? Nev
  7. That was a pretty basic auto-land. Couldn't be compared with what we have today, including the ground based guidance part of it, and the essential "Fly by Wire" aircraft systems. Nev
  8. WE haven't taken recycling seriously as the Mining Fraternity wouldn't want it. Recycling is a big part of the solution. Nev
  9. KR That's why I said "IF" BM any person aware of a matter adversely affecting aviation safety HAS to report it to CASA. by law. Nev
  10. You are kidding Us, aren't you? You don't have an EV.. Nev
  11. It's NOT an ILS . Its a complex IMC procedure which would have to be hand flown in my day. To be familiar and skilled is Mandatory (FOR RPT) which means REGULAR Public Transport. Charter and Private don't have to comply but wouldn't get approval to go there on a NON VMC day. There May Be a GNSS based approach but it would need more than One autopilot to be reliable enough. Those Hills are really Close. I've done it in Full motion B 737 simulator. Nev
  12. With ethanol , space you should have raised the Compression Ratio. Are you sure you weren't using Kerosene. Nev
  13. The topic Title is "Nitrogen engine". History is full of Wonder Engines that never got past first base. Look at ALL the various Valving systems tried over the Years. The often ridiculed Poppet Valve reigns supreme and anyone doing valve grinds would be out of business fast. as good as it has been developed It's days are Mostly Over, Solar Energy is SO CHEAP NOW and getting CHEAPER and the SUN wouldn't be going out for a long time. IT gives US people Independence from Monopolies and Fossil fuels which are finite and Polluting' Whole Cities could go OFF Grid and be independent. A lot of {People higher up don't like that Idea. Guess why. They'd charge us for Oxygen IF they knew How. Nev
  14. His Neice Mary Trump, gave them plenty of warning but it's a population which readily accepts Cults and apparent winners and has long standing deep seated issues like a Gun Epidemic, racism. American Superiority in all things and the status of Women., to name a few. Nev
  15. SYB is just ETHER, Got an octane rating of about 10..It use needs careful application. I would NEVER use it on an aero engine in any circumstances. Nev
  16. You are correct. Nev
  17. And wonder how they will insure them? Have they been thoroughly RISK assessed? Nev
  18. That doesn't address ANY of the Problems I listed. Nev
  19. You can go Hydrogen straight to electric which is as efficient as a transformer is 95+%. Burning stuff is unlikely to get much above 30% efficiency and at high temps will produce Nitrous Oxides.Nev
  20. Hydrogen Leaks and causes Hardening of metals and can't effectively be liquified. Big tanks for not a lot of energy. High pressures and therefore risky. Nev
  21. It's THAT or take off at lighter weights so you can STOP without using it. it's That or Nothing where it's used. Queenstown requires RECENT special procedures training for RPT to go there. Nev
  22. Recent activity on the Commanche website and no mention of any changes at Shep. Nev
  23. It's made by the "Mandrake" Process. Hydrogen burned in an ICE motor is still inefficient and can produce Nitrous oxides, Toyota are Lost in their "Dead end" Philosophy of ICE forever.
  24. The Current STATE of the USA should concern all THINKING people. Nev
  25. Hell are you THAT Young? We'll put it down to "Youthful Exuberance". Nev
