  1. Thanks Maj.M

     

    You explain things much better than I, I thought my warning about: mags on with the plugs out, then using the ignition switch to turn the motor over: would have been better received than it did.

     

    Ho well I tried.

  2. Rhtrudder: running a few seconds with ignition off is permissible, But Never with just the ignition leads off, it could damage the ignition system!.

     

    And only seconds, you don't want too much fuel pumped through the system.

  3. Changed my Delica oil (4x4) today, and I cranked it over without starting for a couple of minutes to make certain I didn't harm the bearings starting it up without oil pressure.

  4. If it WAS piracy, we (them in power) should make the illegals walk the plank & swim the rest of the way. Just to make certain they really want to get here, and not just on a cruise.

  5. Jaba_who :. It was half cooked in Ireland " par-cooked": Maybe !, but par-cooked could mean it's heated to make the 1st raise, then frozen, so the final thawing heat would raise the

     

    dough ready for baking.

     

    Old Old Pomey trick used in winter, 1st raising in the evening. before bed, then back in the oven in the morning, to finish off, And warm the house at the same time.

     

    Ho. I did say it was blooooodi freezing overnight.

    ps the oven was part of the fire-place, the opposite side heated water

     

     

  6. Yen. Hi, I loved Coles bread, the dough came from Ireland, but was baked fresh here. When traveling outback Aus. I often have to buy week old frozen bread . and nobody seems to mind that.

  7. One very well known road in the NT, had for many years, NO speed limit and NO deaths. The Gods who rule us put in a speed limit & six died in one year.

     

    I have to removed the Training wheel from the front of my HB, (to reduce wing loading) & learn to fly a Very short coupled (three mtr) tail-dragger!.

  8. Training: When I took my car licence test I did Not have to know the weight, the gear ratio or tyre pressure of a B-double,

     

    RAA training, requires to know all the Laws, the fuel capacity & range (with reserves) the weight & balance and baggage allowance of GA aircraft of more than the allowed two seats.

     

    The enforcement of the wing loading rule for aircraft that have been flying Safely, that now have to reduce weight making them less safe is .

     

    I wont say it in public.

     

    My aircraft is not the only Hummel Bird affected, Are the Gods that rule us going to Deregister aircraft?, like the GA owner/operator debacle.
