    Not just ' go faster ' . But those extra ' gap filler's ' will make your fuel go the extra mile . So fairings and spats , will pay for themselves in the long run. 61 mpg about 98 klmtrs on 4 ( four ) litres on mogas spacesailor

    I changed my ' Altronics ' to a ' curly cord ' . The original straight cord had the outer plastic coming apart. I did ask on the forum, if it was any better to have the cord ' straight or curly ' . Also removed the 1/4" NATO plug for a 2.5 mm plug . spacesailor

    IF ! YOU chop your own props ! . You can customise them , to whatever suits your airframe , take-off, climb , cruise and economy. It appears a lot of smaller engines ' like ' a wooden propeller . Also your wallet really likes them as too . spacesailor

    The only difference, that make a tail wheel twitchy. Is the distance between those wheels. If you come All the way down to 3 Mars between the wheels , It Is Twitchy. spacesailor

    Shouldn't the ' fuel burn ' be more important than just " piston " engine ! . I mean , a Cessna six cylinder has better fuel economy than that same ' airframe ' running a " turboprop " engine . ( Ltrs er hour. ) . spacesailor

    METRIC. A French system. To rule the world . Removed the " Greenwich " meridian , the new meridian is Paris France. Removed the ' standard ' calender. The new " Republican calander 1793 " which stopped the Catholics finding their Sundays for " mass ". 10 hours a day , 100 minutes per hour 100 seconds per minute. Only three countries are imperial! . United States . Liberia & Burma. renamed Myanmar. SO Why does the USA call ' their System ' Imperial? . spacesailor

    Why do most pitot's have the bent piping , If you use a straight pitot with a bent plastic elbow , shouldn't it work the same ? . Pipe- elbow , tubing , Instrument . I just thought about Mr King's H bird modification. Straight piece of alloy, That screwed into receptacle. spacesailor

    I bought a ' simple ' static , from A S ,and like you say $ 16 for very light ' bent alloy tube ' , with $ 32 for postage . The post-packet weighed more than the ally tube . Yes , I tried unsuccessfully a lot of times to make that tube bend to it's 90 deg shape . I have seen a modified ' pito tube ' on 19- 1944 Hummel Bird . spacesailor
