    In raaus training they make you use carby heat on every landing and even in power off stalls if memory is correct

    Old thread but I wanted to bring up the trim subject again. We spoke about it a few weeks back. Seems I am keeping the xair I would like to fix the trim issues. We discussed fixed tabs but I am not keen on them. I can fit a Bungy in the cockpit from the stick to a fixed central point to correct the aileron roll . Trying to figure out what to do with the rudder. Still some sort of bungi system but where to attach it. Or possibly a cable operated rudder trim tab as last resort. Looking for ideas.

    You weren't being replied too. Moneybox was.

    Have to agree, lagging can increase heat of the exhaust itself. airflow over the pipes takes the heat away

    victoria stopped jailing young criminals and that has turned into a crime wave. there are kids that have been released on bail more than 50 times for home invasions and aggravated assaults. they don't care because they don't get in trouble. and because there are no consequences for youths they are recruited by crime gangs to do their dirty work as well.

    well that idea has worked well in victoria. now we have a generation of machete wielding thugs because of no consequences

    A tangential thought process occurs when an individual responds to a question or prompt by veering off-topic and never returning to the original point. Although their sentences may be grammatically correct or superficially logical, the overall train of thought lacks coherence, goal direction, and closure. The result is a response that feels disorganized and disconnected—often leaving the listener uncertain about the intended message. Key Features of Tangential Thought Process: Missed central point: The speaker’s response fails to directly address the original question. “Drifting” narrative: Answers tend to veer off into loosely related or irrelevant tangents. No return to topic: Unlike circumstantial speech, tangential speech does not circle back to the main point. Listener confusion: The flow of thought may feel disjointed, rambling, or difficult to follow. This communication style often signals an underlying thought disorder. It is frequently observed in individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders, bipolar disorder (manic episodes), and occasionally in neurological conditions or trauma-related presentations. Recognizing tangentiality can provide crucial diagnostic insight and guide appropriate clinical interventions

    A tangential thinker is someone whose thought process is characterized by a tendency to veer off-topic and fail to return to the original point. This can manifest as a complete loss of goal-directedness, where the speaker's response may be grammatically correct but lacks coherence and logical flow. that describes me not someone with a revolutionary idea.😁

    And the fuel tank is your seat in the older style .

    Modern gyros are a lot more efficient thanks to 9 series Rotax. And you don't here of push over accidents any more, that tendency has almost been designed out of them. But as thruster said, they are expensive not like the old homebuilt Benson's and the like.

    I spoke to him a while back when he was selling off gyro parts. He had a bad accident in a gyro years ago.

    The f27 was a popular Fokker. There were fokkers everywhere.

    You need to go for a flight with someone to see the attraction of them. I don't think anyone would compare a gyro with an RV for getting somewhere quick. You are right about the price , that's why they are only a dream for me.

    I would love a modern gyro. Very safe. Shrug off turbulence like it's not there.

    a cavalon. looks salvageable. wonder if they were sightseeing and got behind the curve.

    😁 Yes I agree. It's taken with my oppo phone which is about 6 years old now. I need a phone or a gopro. Those stripes are annoying,always show up when the engine is running.😁

    no headwinds today so i did 60 knts everywhere at 16.6 lph 6000rpm. a lot of fuel but pretty good for a 618 i think. hks would be down around 10 lph. paying for fuel doesn't bother me . its range that i want.

    I am worried whether I am gaining much over the xair. The gazelle is quicker than the xair to go on a trip. But the xair is just that good for local flying and it's tough and easy to inspect almost every part of it. But everyone seems to love gazelles

    might have to talk to the hangar landlord, might be able to squeeze a gazelle in with the wings folded. getting cold feet about parting with the xair.
