  1. The Cornelius XFG-1 was an experimental glider designed with an even more unusual role, to be towed behind a larger aircraft, such as a B-29 bomber, and act as an additional fuel supply to extend the range of the towing aircraft
  2. Hi, What was it in and why was it taken out after so low a time?
  3. prices starting at $110,000 for the complete DHK180 package No mention of the two cylinder suitable for smaller planes, other than the pdf spec sheet download 2 Cyl 120Hp is 16l/per hour but price is probably going to be in the R915 range😒 seems to have been in the 'coming soon' for ever
  4. Hi Red, Do you have any content on the pic/plane/builder?
  5. How relevant is the shutdown 'frigteners' with regard to the rotary with no reciprocating mass?
  6. I regularly get suppliers (more often than not Chinese registered eBay sites but not exclusively) who are Obviously using AP for transportation, yet refuse to send to a PO (generally making security the excuse) The way around is address to PO Box/Street Address of your Post Office i.e. to send your PO box 75 the address is 75/xxx Street Address Your Town Postcode the 75/xxx are just examples and would be you own numbers. Startrack Air Also sometimes needs this address varient to get PO instead of street delivery Been using this for years Oly problem was when a supplier who advertised using AustPost... sent by courier... AP refused to accept of course
  7. will be great when they release the version for the rest of us with real phones😒😁
  8. It will be like most.. once tail is in approach angle/on deck, you judge down either side of the cowl. Did 150 hours in Soni, pilot is in back seat.
  9. I had one of them.. Had an outboard motor tank fitting on his mouth so he could 'talk' to my plane

  11. Has 'Fly Tornado' changed his name and moved to The Oaks
  12. Sounds suspiciously like US 'megas' involved in removing competition for their outdated ideas ..again...
  13. Don't Walk Arounds happen in the 'heavy' world? maybe not the number of times we hear about pitot covers and bits of tape left on?
  14. Down draft as opposed to shear... My first landing on the secondary dirt strip Winton Qld in my "new" Terrier. Had less than 15 hours total time in it. I had around 200 hours but the last 150 were Soni.. a completely different 'kettle of fish' to fly..Low wing no flaps Hit the (as I found out later known) down at the western end.. full noise lower flaps.. on first bounce ...lets do that again. A down draft with any consistency can be compensated for (sort of), which even fresh to the plane I was able to compensate for and made a much more normal exit from the sky on the second go.
  15. Badge engineering 🤫
  16. Sorry .. should have read 'HaveN'T been a force' 😵auto correct
  17. Who😂 Have been a force in the handset world since Google and Apple crucified them for going with Microsoft
  18. Had a Bonanza do this here a few years ago ( a high multiple 1000hr pilot) something to do with the Flap/Gear levers.. and ..no.. no lockout???
  19. Japan’s Yoroi Reactor Ushers In a New Era of Micro-Nuclear Power – Tehrani.com – Tehrani on Tech BLOG.TMCNET.COM <p>Above graphic for illustrative purposes only. Key Takeaways: Japan has quietly taken a radical step in nuclear energy innovation with the deployment of the Yoroi Reactor — a compact, self-contained nuclear... Doesn't use water Decentralized Manufactured and transportable and a whole less polluting than acres of glass destroying land or wind farms with a 15year lifespan with no recyclability
  20. It's the same brand name, but its new owners and operators, isn't it?
  21. Just a tip Red... Change the name of the pic before attaching (you are making it too easy) Monsted-VincentMV-1Starflight I'm into pushers and admit I didn't know about this 4 engine. C-85s April 2016 Mystery Airplane: The Monsted-Vincent MV-1 | EAA Vintage Aircraft Association EAAVINTAGE.ORG Thanks for updating my knowledge. look forward to them.
  22. After 30+ years in the computer industry... 'Cannot Occur' is not something I can agree with The coincidental errors occur with usually the most inconvenient timing
  23. I believe I read the relight was induced by the FADEC not manually. In an aircraft with documented existence of metal shavings in the wiring ducts and with no possible way to test the wiring for shorts in this instance..... WHY are so many pilots so willing to throw these two under the bus? Comes back to what I said earlier about Ex-Spurts. There was as least one other unrequested shutdown, but as it happened after landing with no damage was undoubtedly not investigated thoroughly. How many others were put done to 'just another unknown glitch' due to no damage?
  24. I see the simulator Ex-spurts are sayings pilot error .. Are they The Same ones that vowed and declared Scully Could Have landed at an airport without a problem?? The blackbox is Only showing the electrical pulse in the wiring Not physical positions
