  1. After my hip operation my O2 reading was down to 40 to 50, the doctors had a hard job keeping me awake to take deep breaths. As soon as I relaxed my reading dropped. And they would wake me up again.

    Should have been in post op one day but stayed three days due to low O2.

    And I did tell them, I,m hard to awaken after the operation.

  2. That tyre trick does not compute fot me !.

    A really good example, is a 26 inch X 1 and a 1/2 inch pushbike tyre on sand, even a skinny 50Kgm kid will bog.

    Same kid on Fat tyres will be hard to catch.

    My 15 X 195 X 60 profile tyres bog even with 10 psi preasure also they deflate when cornering ( book says 15 X 205,s but not available here ).

    245 or 265, width work like a charm,

    Someone with good maths will be able to work out the contact area of a 2 ton van ( 4X 4 ) with those differant footprints left in the sand.

    15 X 195 compared to 15 X 245 MM = ?.

  4. SO,

    IF ( it happened to me ) two aircraft, one landing downwind, other, into the wind ,

    BOTH

    Transmit exactly at the same time,

    Which one will be heard ?.

    Both pilots said they transmitted "turning base ect ", but neither heard anything !.

    ( our plane hurriedly ran off the runway to avoid a headon crash )

  5. I only use my lithium ferrous battery to start the engine. As soon as the battery is back to voltage, the charging is switched off and the "battery" is now just a couple of big capacitors which the alternator thinks is the battery. This is how the radio etc has power while the battery is disconnected.

    I need to make the disconnection automatic, another project on the list... In the meantime, I just switch it off when the voltage returns to 14.2 volts. "

    Can you show us a pic of your setup.

    And most of my lipo model batteries Die after a while, just wont charge. Posibly too much heat in my shed.

  6. Yes thats the information I wanted.

    When my rego was canceled I was Not notified at all. RAA may have special exemption from CASA,s rules.

    " 47.131A (1) CASA must by written notice given to the registeration holder of the aircraft "

    These rules are Far too hard for normal lay people to, just look them up.

    As some are stating on this site.
