Piecrust's compass and mine might be twins- their deviations are so similar. I spent lots of money having mine serviced, but it's so far out as to be near-useless. It's not mounted near metal objects or other obvious sources of interference.
Maybe it's a northern hemisphere compass.

They're out there. Living, breathing, erratic and dangerous. Met one who opposed anything out of the ordinary. When he found out I fly a home-built plane he exploded: "it shouldn't be allowed!"
Presumably we should all be at home tucked up in front of the Teev.

What date?

The West stole plenty of ideas from other countries, particularly China. Without the inventions pinched from the Middle Kingdom, Europe might still be in the Dark Ages.

Decision time for the Turnbull Government: believe the hype and go all-the-way with the F-35 or cut our losses and shop around?

CASA seems to be a sacred cow while this government makes outrageous cuts to core services:... 45 Certificate Management TEAM LEADERS in 10 different offices around Australia ... thats not the certificate team but just the TEAM LEADERSIf CASA were real world commercial in their outlook (and as 76% of their revenue comes DIRECTLY from the users of CASA/Fuel) it damn well SHOULD be commercially focused) then the efficiency of their operations needs to be addressed fundamentally and I would expect there to be easily tens of millions of dollars able to be taken out each year in efficiency savings ...Get senators to notice THE incredible cost and structure of the CASA machine and maybe there is a way of cutting CASA costs to Govt and to the user ...

Trying to add slime (preseal) to a tyre fitted with a pressure/temp monitor is a dumb idea.
Don't ask me how I know.

Early GW's used Japanese-derived engines. Mine has a Chinese-German designed engine. They seem to have solved most of their early teething problems. Most reports are pretty positive.I would rather they knocked off designs, just look at the Great Wall vehicles to see what they've come up with on their own. -
My BRS instructions mentioned a maximum deployment speed, but the designers would have been aware that an aircraft might be travelling pretty rapidly downward before a pilot fires the rocket.

Steady on there Nig! I always enjoyed driving my Lada!...I see no law against enjoying your job. Otherwise the taxation department would force us all to drive Ladas so we wouldn't enjoy what we are doing ....

Looks like the billet had a hidden flaw in it.

Let's hope that Skidmore does not have to take the rap for a mess he inherited....It is going to be very interesting when the mess is sorted and who is going to hung out to dry...-

Col Police Checks might weed out some grubs, but misses the sociopaths and psychopaths who are smart enough to avoid getting caught. They get promoted until they're in charge- then introduce protocols that their type can evade.There are grubs out there who prey upon old people, young people, the meek, the halt and feeble minded and aircraft owners. They might be kitchen only staff this week but they will use all their psychopathic and sociopathic skills to move up the food chain without detection...-

Welcome David. Nothing wrong with flying on a 2 stroke engine, but stay near open ground.
I believe there's a lot of Sasquach country in Kentucky.

If Jabiru and CAMit could afford it, I'd love them to put as much development into their head fin designs.at Duxford, near Cambridge in the UK, there's a BMW 801 radial engine out of a FW190. IMHO it is worth the trip to England just to see that engine. I think it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I read somewhere that 80% of the development time and money that went into Wright Duplex Cyclones (as in the B29) was in the cooling system. The 801 also looks as tho' an immense amount of money was spent on the developing the cooling fins. They're gorgeous.-

Ours is a lucky generation: the only foreign travel adventures available to most of our ancestors involved getting shot at.

If only we had statesmen like Mustafa Kemal today. In our national capital is a unique tribute to our former enemy: a memorial tribute to Ataturk.

When we're with women we talk about our planes. When we're around our planes we talk about women...Anytime Phil. Just hop the pond and I'll spring for lunch. Boring conversations though. Airplanes, sports, politics, history, and occasionally . . . women....-

Very true, Onetrack. How I regret not getting to know old neighbours from that generation. Their stories went to the grave with them....He then survived more than 40 missions over Europe, as a tail-gunner in a Halifax! - completely unscathed!...He was typical of his generation - they stood up to be counted, laid their lives on the line, then often just lived quietly and anonymously for the rest of their lives...
The French are a bit different. Every so often they give out medals to the few survivors, including Aussies who dropped bombs on them.We hear about the blokes who got lots of gongs, but many WW2 blokes who also deserved awards, got very little - but they never sought any, either. -
...or relieve themselves over him....I'd like to have chained him to a wall out the back of the cop station and let all 240 passengers file past and have a few seconds each to express their feelings towards him.-
