I WANT ONE NOW !

" do not disturb app, "

Please.

The Kiwi's have a sign for "Beware of wind" (Rimataka hill)

The Aussies have wreath or a Cross at the side of busy roads, for the gaper's to watch while driving.

Switched off the Flight simulator. LoL

You mean a Very high polish like this.

The orange is wrap, I believe.

Just another typo.

   "Well Jaba lets deal with a fact or two -

    My Rotax 912 ULS contains 3 L of oil, which I change at 50 hr intervals. I have never had to add oil between services in its 850 + hours to date.

    It uses about 12 L /hr @ 100 knots, can loiter at 60 knots consuming about 8 L/hr and if I ask it, it will do 120 knots on about 17 L/hr. It prefers ULP but at a pinch can dine on AvGas.

    It is smooth running and quiet (compared with even a lawn mower, let alone almost every other aircraft engine).

    Its seems to deliver power without effort, from sea level to 10,000 ft (my legal limit).

    I did have to replace the "sprag clutch" probably from using under-powered battery's but other than this the engine has never been opened and only routine service items replaced.

    I expect it to be still motivating my aircraft at 2000 + hrs.  "on condition"

   Thats good

    How about

   500 ml oil.

   6 litres an hour fuel consumption, at 100 mmph, VNE 140. (in a dive)

   SHAKIEST of all the motors.

   All of 35 HP (Hand-cranked ).

The question read "what causes icing"

Kununurra Is correct, !

I had read CASA's definition, which said

"Carburettor icing is of particular concern because, unlike airframe icing, the risk of ice build-up in the carburettor can be high even with no visible moisture and an OAT of up to 38°C.

Carburettor icing occurs when the air temperature adiabatically decreases sufficiently to condense water vapour and for the localised air temperature to reduce below freezing. Ice builds up as the chilled condensed water makes contact with localised surfaces, such as the butterfly valve and the venturi walls. Carburettors experience additional cooling because of the evaporation of fuel. Furthermore, the risk of carburettor icing is significantly increased at partial power settings (for example, when power is reduced during descent), because of the cooling effect of a partly-closed throttle."

The answer given was simply :Moisture causes icing:

Pity Darwin with super high moisture.

but

Great flying in Mcmurdo dry valley antarctica, if your fuel is still a liquid.

adiabatically ? I wonder what the bureaucrats mean.

Counting on fingers !,

If you use the thumb to count the segments of each finger you Will get:  Three X four finger, making 12 (Yes it does make  sense to count in Twelves )

I have only Four fingers on each hand.

Not as much as a McCulloch motor. But it was designed for the military,

OR the little admired "HIRTH"

" The Hirth 3002, 80 HP, and 3003, 110 HP engines are unique in the industry. The are a four cylinder horizontally opposed air cooled engines. The 3002 is tuned for high torque, low rpm, and the 3003 is tuned for high horsepower. These engines are a great alternative to the Rotax 912 series engine"

Just googled & copied.

"Carburettor icing is more likely at partial power settings because of the cooling effect of a partly-closed throttle butterfly."

from CASA web site.

That's the spelling I took for,: ICING .

You Have to be joking, some poor sods are looking at million dollar bills, with just a missing digit or dot, or even an extra three zero's.

Machines Don't come up without a Person entering DATA.

But machine Do go wrong, and "stuff-up" the end result !.

Funny they (who ever|) picked tens, when computers run on "bits" that are Not ten based.

Wreckage found but not the pilot.

You may be right

but

the bigger the equipment is, the bigger the DOLLAR sign.  ( never saw a High pressure rail like: ( 77 gallons per minute through a 2.5"diameter fuel line). that's about 10 times my 4 litre engine High-pressure rail.

77gal=291.477 litres: That wont fit through my high-pressure motor system. It wont even fit my fuel tank. LoL

spacesailor

EFI

It has a limited fuel flow-through,

At 20 litres an hour most auto types would be past their capacity.

Big bore drag cars use carburetors to get the fuel "hundreds of litres per run" (650L,P,H,) to make their crazy horse-power.

" Under full throttle a modern top fuel dragster engine burns approx.11 gallons of fuel a minute. The fuel pump is capable of delivering 77 gallons per minute through a 2.5"diameter fuel line.

The fuel tank holds 17 gallons of fuel. A 55-gallon drum of nitromethane today costs about $900. "

Just a quick check, !

I got caught on the question of.

"What causes icing"

I'll wait to get a few answers, before I tell what was on the correct page.

I couldn't find the right place to put this little item !.

Some-one with size Thirteen shoes wants a small aircraft,

I can't see any manufacture Other than Hummel saying "We can alter the rudder peddles to suit your shoe & get the Toe-brakes onto the ball of your foot,"

sounds like they keep their customers happy.

Stall speed restricted, Is it a different Stall speed to 95-10, ?.

" He then pointed out that I was, in fact, flying at the wrong height for my direction, which I guess I was, however as I was on descent into the airfield and had indicated such.I told him I felt that his lack of radio usage was of more a concern, because he knew where we were, but we had no idea he was even in the air anywhere near us.He had made no calls either on landing or take off other than the garbled message we had heard as he approached.Far be it for me to criticise others. I have only about 130 hours flying time and I know I still make mistakes and have a lot to learn. But I do know that for every pilot to be safe in the air (and my instructor drummed this into me), not only do you need to know where I am and what I am doing, but letting me know where you are and what your intentions are - especially when we are in the same airspace - will make a huge difference to all concerned It’s common courtesy"

Exert from Sport pilot.

Say's lots in a small paragraph.

I was told to make my intentions known !.
