......the curfew. The afore mentioned formation flight was carried out at night due to safety concerns. both aircraft were night rated and prepared for the job. The lead aircraft {Drifter} was fitted with a bicycle torch stolen from the parked bike at the front of the pub taped to the front of the pod, and the tail {Thruster} fitted with a red reflector stolen from a road sign and stuck to the rear of the fuel tank. .....

Forgive me Turbs but how does that follow on from my brilliant lead in back to avref
-
.....steer this NES back to aviation again by formation flying Thruster and Drifter up the center of Melbourne at 10 feet under the tram wires........
-
......but this was really only a con job to make it harder to trace the guilty. Blowing up the CASA inspectors car was just a tad naughty but the minor fact that not only was the inspector still in the car but also his assistant his adviser his secretary and his planner also. It would appear that CASA was a bit cross with it being exposed that not only loosing five dedicated staff but their four seat econobox was overloaded. That's right NES readers a CASA inspectors car more bums than seats but over MTOW. .......

........thruster by landing into wind which reduced the ground speed to zero then controlled the decent with power for a perfect vertical landing ......
-
......cussion is making it very hard {earth ref} to steer back to aviation....... Special report from Darraweit Guim regional airport, a visiting pilot queried why not shoot some of the kangaroos that make it hard to find a spot to land. And the answer is that beer is made from hops so we cannot shorten the supply line.

.......then he woke up " with solution in hand " ......

......you also had to understand basic arithmetic because the cord has a mass of 1/2 kilo per M. Also the voltage drop using OHMS law where P=ExI and E=IxR . The R value will depend on the inductive load using power factor {dynamic}. Assuming 0.8 for an electric motor. So using some assumptions as follows For a single phase supply of 240volt 30 horsepower motor. 30 horsepower at 746 watts per hp is 22.38Kw. using our formula I =P/E gives us over 93 amps which is a lot for a 10 amp cord. You are about to crash and burn

.....and it sucks and blows? Kind of like upgrading to a turbine. Now to the problem of finding enough power cord........

Another point on the trusty old side valve, most of the combustion energy is expended trying to blow the head off the block not push the piston down.
-
In other words a Thruster or Drifter you look between your knees 'coz thats where you are going. I heard it said that a Thruster pilot can throw his keys out at the moment the fan stops and from 5000 ft. will land exactly one aeroplane length past the keys. Howzat for thread drift ??? steering back to aviation !!!
-
.....back as his mind returned to past posts and realized that the engine in a 1941 Ford Prefect is a side valve. About as powerful as a side valve Morry engine....... Side note does any NES reader remember why side valve engines are not all that suited to aviation??? ( captain I thought I would just chuck that one in for fun )

E-Props ...who has first hand experience with these
CT9000 replied to eightyknots's topic in Engines and Props
Remembering that it is generally easier to get weight off the pilot than the aeroplane -
.......said aaargh what the f###ck was that {just like the mayor of Nagasaki back in the mid forties} {war ref.}........

Ok now we have to face up to some people stretching the truth a tad. The refined readers of NES may well see through some poetic license. 1/ no aircraft noise in DG ? We have three airstrips in DG 2/ Catholic girls collage ? No secondary schools in DG 3/ Asphalt to crash on ? Only through roads in DG are asphalt 4/ 15yo tittering girls ? You might find one 15 yo 5/ Footpath ? Yeah right where? 6/ Going to the airport came across the saw mill The saw mill is the other way I could go on but I won't. Maybee I have been conned into making a response by some very clever people just baiting

....the industrial sized bunnies started to chew on the train coz they need the iron supplement to support their huge growth.....
-
.....chuck in a few quid to help build a rail track. The train is still bogged to the guts in mud at the new rail terminal because trains are not so good without tracks....
-
.....I came across this bluddy huge rabbit which knocked the bike over then proceeded to kick the proverbial crap out of anyone nearby........
-
......just realized that the 2:15 Boilnda train may have a problem 'cause there are no train tracks. And now looking up at this mother of all bunnies, it is possible that the idea of being conned may have been a bit hasty .......

Further information here no sir they are definitely not cheap canvas shoes but are confirmed 100% cheap plastic
-
......nice friendly smile, we don't wear thongs here in chairman Dan's state. We wear Chinese safety boots......
-
.......new rifle this bolt action 10 shot is a bit slow maybe a 50 shot auto might be handy....... small correction to yesterdays ref to my flowing locks of golden hair, Statement of truth here, I have a full head of hair just like a bowling ball.
-
......race in the Le man's style where you start from the public bar hot foot it to the airfield then fly {avref for a change} to Vic, avoid the lockdown areas and land with no landing fees speeding tickets general fines or being locked up for any other reason......
-
....... ahhhahh but it is still all in fun. I have heard it said {in fact I have said it myself} that a taildragger landing is not finished till you are halfway through your first cuppa. Another view is not finished till your pants are off.......
-
.......just about managed to remind the NES followers that the aviation thread has been lost again and maybe we could drift back. Speaking of drifting I saw a car, whoops here we go again. sorry, flight suit.....
