Women are funny cattle. My wife sent me this:

Dust off those conspiracy theories. Which high-tech boffins were on board? Who wanted them silenced or wanted their secrets? Which Central Asian nation was the jet secretly flown to?

Who could have planned and carried out such a perfect heist?

Mossad.

I totally agree with efforts to improve reliability of the Jab. engine. Purchasers of future engines may be able to choose between Jab or CAMit, but I bet the latter is more pricey. The problem is we current owners; improving the after-sales or after-repair service will cost more. This will ultimately nudge up the price of the engine.

Maybe ATSB had investigators nearby. Why not use them?

At the end of the day with all the different ways people go about monitoring their cht's . I'm still wondering what would be the quickest/most accurate/cheapest way of verifying/calibrating the installations on our aircraft in the field cheers

Surely the carbs are delivered by Bing complete with floats? If that's the case, other users- like Jabiru- are also affected.

I think Forbes Flying Club have been running (or at least taking a fair bit of the burden off Council ) their local aerodrome for many years.

IsIs the airport registered it certified? Makes a difference re CASA aerodrome requirements.

 

I was ARO for Argyle aerodrome in the Kimberley for 6 years.

I have four CHT probes. Instead of installing them under the plugs as designed, I cut each one down and drilled a 4mm hole. After tapping threads into the holes between the plugs, I screwed a probe to each one.

Last week I removed them for testing. I clamped each probe to an electronic temperature gauge, then applied a heat gun.

The temperatures shown on the two gauges -cockpit CHT and test probe- differed markedly. This means I can ignore the numbers on the cockpit gauge. (I had earlier calibrated the test gauge in boiling water, so I trust it.) After several cycles of heating and cooling, I was able to mark on the CHT the point where actual probe temp is 200 degrees C.

Same carby as the Jab, so same technique?

Three of my four CHTs probes are still working, after I hacked a set of under-plug sensors and screwed them to the between-plug holes. After removing each one and clamping it to a good temp probe and testing with a heat gun the readings are way out. No real problem; I repeatedly heated and cooled each till I could mark the max cruise temp on the guage.

Here's a post at 2122hrs local time.

The RAA suffers from a lack of vision Geoff, you can see that in Micks statement. Good leaders are generally seen as leading not just telling how good a job they are doing. You can do a lot in 24 months with the right vision.

I don't see a problem, provided the obvious intent (ie a relevantly qualified and experienced pilot) is adhered to. There are many people out there building their own experimental planes who have quite limited flying experience...

...OK if the fuel can flow from tank to tank when sitting the lower tank will become overfilled and overflow no matter where the vent is in the top of the tank. IF you take the vent back over the other side, it won't. The overflow will only hold fuel up to the same level as in the highest tank fuel level.. Nev

My vents are in my Jodel's bent-up wingtips, so not really a problem.

I haven't spoken to my wife for 18 months -- I don't like to interrupt her

Marriage is when a man and woman become as one; the trouble starts when they try to decide which one

An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have; the older she gets, the more interested he is in her

Marriage means commitment. Of course, so does insanity

All marriages are happy - it's the living together afterward that causes all the problems

Please go back to being immature or I won't read your posts anymore. Alan.

...an unintended siphon:...if the plane were tied down on a 10 degree slope, it is possible that most the fuel in the higher wing's full tank would lie above the vent hole in the cap of the lower wing's full tank.

Murphy showed up at Mass one Sunday and the priest nearly fell down when he saw him. He'd never been to church in his life.

After Mass, the priest caught up with him and said, "Murphy, I am so glad ya decided to come to Mass. What made ya come?"

Murphy said, "I got to be honest with you Father. A while back, I misplaced me hat and I really, really love that hat. I know that McGlynn had a hat just like mine and I knew he came to church every Sunday. I also knew that he had to take off his hat during Mass and figured he would leave it in the back of church. So, I was going to leave after Communion and steal McGlynn's hat."

The priest said, "WELL, MURPHY, I NOTICE THAT YA DIDN'T STEAL McGLYNN'S HAT. WHAT CHANGED YOUR MIND?"

Murphy replied, "Well, after I heard your sermon on the 10 Commandments I decided that I didn't need to steal McGlynn's hat after all."

With a tear in his eye, the priest gave Murphy a big smile and said, "After I talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' ya decided you would rather do without your hat than burn in hell, eh?"

Murphy slowly shook his head. "No, Father, after ya talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery', I remembered where I left me hat."

Our club is interested in advice from anyone with experience in managing runway inspections, grass cutting etc. of their local airport. We are getting variable advice re the training required and the insurance cover we'd need to carry if we take on the responsibility.

Please feel free to PM me if need be.

While waiting at Sydney airport for my flight I'm taking in the amazing sights. They're really pumping the big jets out; take-offs from 34R have been as close as 49 seconds apart! These big aircraft are all following the same impressive steep climb path and turning right to avoid the CBD. They must be passing thru the wake of previous big jets. What happened to the 3-minute rule to allow wake turbulence to disperse?

Thats when aeroplanes sounded like aeroplanes. Just lovely and so different from the Heinkels I used to hear droning over at night.
