WARNING: It seems that I have been connecting with Gates USA web sites. Many/Most of the above details & par numbers do not apply to AU. Gates AU coolant (radiator 25 mm ID /other 17 mm ID) part numbers would seem to start with 02- or 03- My apologies 😈

Turns out the aforementioned list has a lot of discontinued 17mm (.65-.66") ID hoses. For currency you may be better cross checking between: https://www.maxiparts.com.au/Documents/Supplier/Gates/gates-molded-coolant-hose-id-guide_web.pdf?srsltid=AfmBOoqVQCrOxyL-PSBb3p2dyjN8JTcyHwveCFPfpouutmQ076b1I4vA (Gives shape & dimensions in inches) And https://www.gates.com/us/en/fluid-power/engine-hose/heater-hose.p.4257-000000-000001.v.4257-01361.html (Gives currency, shape , dimensions in mm & inches) 😈

If still intersted in a Sapphire - I think there may be one (in a trailer) for sale at The Oaks 😈

There were3 main parts to my question; Is "windshear" the same as "downdraft" same as "microburst"? If not, what is the difference? If technically diffrent, what are the practical (effect on aircraft) differences? "Undershoot" -? meaning to land short? may indeed be part of the last question. I assume that the other effect might be an "overshoot" land long? 😈

Some 17mm ID Gates Molded Heater Hose contributions ; 24081 - 724mm long 23760 - 482mm 19498 - 322mm 19489 - 345mm 19497 -429mm 19311 - 452mm 19457 - 462mm 19310 - 463mm 19413 - 508mm 19486 - 559mm 19414 - 609mm From https://www.gatesaustralia.com.au/~/media/files/gates/automotive/catalogs/automotive/gates-molded-coolant-hose-id-guide_web.pdf Clamed specification -40 Deg. C +135 Deg. C All molded in various shapes - you will have to pick the ones that best meet your needs😈

It would be great if we could come up with a list of Gates 17mm ID Coolant (heater) Hose Moneybox has given us two 17mm pre shaped hoses; 02- 1415 02- 1562 The shapes (even with cutting to length) will not suit everyone's application, so a few more, especially ones with a longish straight section, would cover more.😈

Very much depends on the configuration of the aircrafts (fuselage). My Sonex is volume challenged (limited cargo space). It has a fabric luggage/cargo area (up to 18kg) behind the seat with a zip lid that doubles as a shelf, accessible in the air - good for maps etc. Accessible via two seat back hinged aluminium panels, an under/behind seat back, "pocket" (7 kg) This full fuselage width, triangular in cross section, stowage area has been created using very thin/light aviation grade plywood, as the back. Its for infrequently used items that I like to have with me on every flight eg first aid kit, tools, windscreen cleaning kit, jack, spare inner tube, etc Not yet modified , is the under seat space - If I do this it will be using the same system as for the seat back.😈

I only have experince of two aircraft disk brake installations - I have always thought that the rotating "floating" disk (as in free to move horizontally) is the main factor in moving the pads away/back😈

Hmmm - didnt realise my Nokia phone (about 2-3 years old now) was actually a figment of my imagination.😈

Is this an obscure answer to my question or some tangential observation that has nothing to do the subject?😈

What about Nokia?😈

The list of "compatible" phones is limited. Some iPhones & a couple of Samsung's😈

Ukraine & Russia have intertwined histories. Most of the population are bilingual. Their traditions ,secular & religious are very similar. I strongly doubt that any such "cleansing" has taken place, if for no other reason that it would be impractical to sort the Russian from the Ukraine speakers. On the other hand I think it highly likly that the peoples of the Russian occupied regions, are being brainwashed into good little Russians. Your comments sound very much like Putin propaganda rational for invading - to save the Ukrainians from the Nazi government , etc😈

All of the above are Gates coolant 25mm ID. The hard to find ones are Gates Coolant 17mm ID - if you have found any of these - please post the part numbers.😈

On the first statement - Agreed ! On the second - Staged? As in a plot? I think not. Democratic leaders are, by nature, a timid lot. For fear of offending the electorate by sticking to a strong ethical position, they waft from one toe testing positions, to another. Its absolutly clear that Russia has no legitimate claim on the Ukraine or its democratically inclined population - Does the Free (?) World step in? noooooo and why not ? - Simple our so called leaders are jostling to stay at the back of the crowd, for fear of incurring the displeasure of their electorate and allies. Their hope is that The Donald will suddenly commit the US to boots on the ground and they will crowd in behind heroically yelling support of all kinds. Sort of similar with Israel - No one want to stand up to their big ally, Uncle Sam and no one wants to be labelled an anti-Semite, after the failure of the West to actively appose the Holocaust. Israel has done its own thing for as long as its been in existence. The reality is Israel (not Jews) has been actively nibbling away at the the right of Palestinian's to exist/have a country. You can not oppress a people and not expect a response. Hamas (along with others) is that response. Hamas is no worse or better, than the fundamentalist Jews, who spout biblical text as their right to force Palestinians off their land. The Hamas attacked on Israel 7 October 2023 was just what the Netanyahu religious fundamentalist run government was waiting for, as an excuse to conduct genocide on the Palestinians - the fate of hostages have always been collateral damage to the Netanyahu regime. Rant Rant Rant!!!!!! 😈

We are still the primitive homo sapiens that walked the plains, in small family/tribal groups, thousands of years ago. We support the tribal leader, invariably a psychopathic individual, driven by the belief they are born to lead/superior/ anointed by god . Unfortunatly the characteristics, that drives an individual to seek leadership, are all to often linked to the need for more power and you know the truism about power corrupting etc. Politics, organised religion & tribal identity have always been linked - The leader will seek to enhance his standing by delivering what he (usually male) thinks the tribe wants while also minimising (eliminating in some situations) any opposition. War/conflict has been used by leaders, since the beginning of time (even animals do it) to increase the tribal wealth and unify the tribe against the other. Its not hard to scratch the surface of modern man to reveal the fear of the other (racial/religious/ economic/gender difference's) Religious and political leaders have used this tactic throughout history to the present day. Two current examples - Russia v Ukraine & Israel V Palestine. Russia has no economic need for the territory of the Ukraine but Putin does, in his insatiable hunger for power. The war distracts his poulation from seeking his removal and gives him excuses to supress any descent. Israel, always riven by religious' discord (fundamentalists V liberals). Basically needs external threat (Arabs) to remain united. Netanyahu has remained in power by "stitching together" successive coalitions - To continue, he must meet the demands of his coalition partners, in the current case, the religious fundamentalists (god bothering nutters). Not a history buff but I don't think the Israelis have had a leader, so bereft of ethical/ moral standards, as Bibi. Of course he is finished but determined to go out in the blase, of what he sees as glory, the destruction of Palestine - looks like he will succeed. 😈

I thought the anti retract was a something called an "anti squat switch" - simply a switch, activated by the weight of the aircraft on the suspension, that opened the electrical circuit.😈

Confession time: No I have never measured the spigots (oil/fuel/coolant) just gone with the Rotax specification - my error. It will be a few years (about 2 ) before I get the chance to measure the spigots but will try & remember to do so. Just be a bit careful - some spigots , on the same system, are a diffrent OD. A 16.5mm ID hose should fit a 17 mm OD spigot but as you say, asking a bit much if its actually 18/19mm. My observation still stands - never go for a larger ID hose (even by a little) than the spigot OD - you will be trying to get the clamp to do the sealing for you, rather than the hose/spigot interaction..😈

Russia has a long history of wearing down its enemies by using its own as gun fodder. Ukraine's military are exhausted. By comparison Russia has an almost inexhaustible supply of bodies to soak up bullets. Ukraine can not win or get back its territories, without boots on the ground aid from Europe. Its in Eu's (& the Wests) interest to see Russia put back behind it international boundaries, but as in the past, are hamstrung by democratic disunity. Eu is desperate for a strong unifying leader - who????? Should Russia prevail, all the old satellite countries are at risk. Their relativly young democracies are already being undermined by Putin. Coupled with the above is the "interested" spectators, China & N Korea - failure to support Ukraine will likly be seen as a greenlight for other dictatorships to take whatever territories they please. Putin is very much the old style dictator - power is everything. He can not be trusted to keep his word on anything that does not suit his agenda. In his arrogance, he can not be seen to step back from the Ukraine war. His groupie, The Donal , has been plaid sooooo easily. 😈

Adjacent!!! - Its almost in town😈

Dont forget Daryl was only one corrupt scenario, there was also the sale of land by the Perish family to NSW Gov, at a reported x 10 the market value, the heavy handed CV19 lock down of W Sydney, compared with sh'll be right approach to super rich North Sydney etc etc😈

Dont forget, on any crossing there will be a mid point before / after which you head for the closest land (subject to windspeed/direction). The worst case scenario would be a mid point engine failure - 14Nm. Anyhow you've put the wind up me, so have provisionally changed rout to Renmark- Port Augusta - Kimba - The above change may make Pooncarie my overnight stop,rather than Renmark - will check ULP availabity. 😈

Okay -You want STOLish & speed, in a high wing - the purchase price of good preloved Cessna 180 starts at about $200K Au? Bound to be others 😈

I apologise if the following question has already been answered; In a market place , already crowded with high wing aircraft, what unique selling point(s) does the RV15 (or the similar Sonex HW) have to attract buyers???😈
