    It wouldn't be shorter. A power on approach is safer at lower speed than a glide one and a good flap will definitely lower the stall speed. When power is cut, the draggier plane will decelerate quicker and not float much. You also have much more control of your touch down point. Nev

    You should be a bit more careful how you express YOUR opinions of Peoples contributions HERE BrendAn. Despise Rotax ? Pretty Libelous and not really called for PERSONAL attack. Not the sort of thing one should have to put up with on a Forum. where FACT should count. This is also a very public forum and I certainly don't like what you have just said . Knock it off Eh? Nev

    V belts are not going to work in this sort of stuff. You ignore the Main Point of my post. The first sentence was simple enough. Yes or No. it was also general. Nev

    Are you confusing Mitsubishi with Kawasaki? Reduction gearboxes are NOT simple. With a largish Prop you have a GEARED Flywheel. Like coupled crankshafts Generally a BAD idea. LONG crankshafts? Bad for torsional Vibration. Likely to have a few "Never use" RPM settings. Nev

    I would like to think some support is there for these aircraft. Nev

    A parallel thread then needs a locknut but that doesn't guarantee a seal either. and takes up space. All too fiddly. An O ring to be safe has to be in a recess. Doesn't that return line have to be at a specified angle and diameter.? nev

    If they are shouldered, just vary the copper washer thickness. I don't trust fibre. Nev

    I've clocked Emu's at 45 Kms. They have long legs. Nev

    They don't use just a simple relay. It includes windings reacting to the voltage as well as Current flow, all spring tension adjusted, and it modulates by opening and closing the Points . Some times a resistor is also across the Point to minimize the current change. A cut out was used as well to prevent reverse current on shut down. Later Diodes do the same thing. They need cooling.

    I'm very versed with human factors but yo don't just grab Something and move it without checking it. In a Normal shutdown You say No 1 engine throttle CONFIRM ........ What was the other pilot doing? Why not just restore the Power? You instinctively handle the yaw. . No one's a one man band in a multicrew operation.. Nev

    ALL because you use a Permanent magnet.. Nev

    A competent and careful PILOT would NOT have done THAT A brake fire from a high speed is NOT unusual with heavy braking. The PNF calls V1 and ROTATE at speeds both are aware of. The pull back on the stick is not sudden.. EVER. Not much of an article really. Nev

    It's a joke. Sorry.

    General elementary Check list is Hatches, Harness, trim mixture pitch etc. Hatches secure and locked Basic stuff. It's an AEROPLANE, Ralph. Nev

    Yeah that's a bit wild, hard enough to drop all the Masks and Injure People's Backs. Nev

    You are advised ton open them when force landing so they don't Jamb closed. Plenty of Cessna's fly with the door removed when Meat bombing. Done plenty of that and it doesn't appear to affect the Performance Much Having people hanging out on the strut does. Nev

    The warrantee is about 8 inches. Nev

    Pod a bit close to touching, but otherwise what's horrific? Nev

    space, my dear old Mum used to tell me I'd forget my head IF it wasn't screwed on. Nev

    The vital part of my post was My Boss SHMBO Booked it.

    I have a pile of Battery chargers and none of them are suitable for Lithium Batteries. Why would the standard Rotax voltage regulator just cope? Nev
