    a/b + b/a = (a^2 + b^2)/ ab is a better way of showing the math because the ^2 means squared.

    By the way aa is NOT 2a - think about it. If a = 3 then aa = 9 but 2a = 6.....
  3. Jabiru7252
    Doesn't work. Did you try before posting this? let a = 2 and b = 3, then n = 2.16666667 Your solution (using my numbers above makes a = -1.333333... when it should be 2.

    Shite - I have made a blunder. The original problem should be n = a/b + b/a not a/b + b/c so I apologise there. I think you'll find it somewhat more challenging. It would be nice to be able to enter equations nicely like in Mathcad or similar software.
  5. Jabiru7252
    You cannot move the bc across because of the addition between ac and bb. You have forgotten brackets, n=ac+bb/bc should be n = (ac+bb)/bc The solution involves a quadratic equation. Believe me, if you take less than an A4 page to arrive at the answer, you're probably wrong!

    If your maths is good, please solve this for me.... if n = a/b + b/c then re-arrange for a. Unlike those who are NOT math gurus, we do NOT need to have values for the variables, just show me how to re-arrange and I'll buy you a beer. I'll let you know that I finally solved it but only with the help of a mathematician and a white board full of scribble. I am a math nerd but I am not a math expert - there is a difference!

    Err, isn't dicking around why RAA pilots have such a bad reputation? You're not playing with a hot rod or motor bike in the shed, it's an aeroplane. Service and maintain the thing as per the pilots operating manual and we'll see fewer accidents and incidents. I'm sure the greater proportion of Jabiru engine problems are from people fiddling and tinkering.

    Oh please, let's give it a rest...

    You know, I have never been to Tasmania or Western Australia. Maybe I might just fly myself in my trusty J170 to Bindoon.

    Well, as they say in the Officers mess "Ripper Nipper, Paint Stripper"......

    So your insurance company is happy to cover a pilot with perhaps 10 hours experience for the same rate as they cover you with (say) 500 hours experience? Also, to hire is not the same as jumping in someones plane and going for a blast. If I could 'hire' my plane out that easily I could earn at least a grand a week. Having said all that, I maybe completely wrong as I am getting old and vaguely remember being wrong once, many years ago.

    People cannot simply 'hire their aircraft'. My insurance mob requires me to name anybody who I intend letting fly plane and supply hours on type etc. They may then say no way, too few hours. Because you are a low hour pilot, insurance companies would want my first born on a golden platter before they let you fly my plane.

    I have 200+ hours in Tomahawks, Warriors and Tobagos. It's not about left/right hand with me. I'm just saying it feels weird to fly in the right hand seat.
  14. Jabiru7252
    If I'm flying an aircraft with the stick between the legs (unlike a Jabiru or Savannah with a centre stick) then I can use either hand on the stick. However, if I sit on the right hand side and fly then it seems weird to me. Kind of like driving a car in the States I guess. felt weird for the first few days.
  15. Jabiru7252
    I can use either hands (with the stick between the legs) but I do have a problem if I'm flying in the right hand seat. It just doesn't feel right.

    When I was sex years old I thought New Zulland was the rubble left over after Australia was built.

    I guess it's one step up from the drone delivered pizza.

    How does your Jab compare to another? Has another Jab pilot flown your plane and got the same experience? It may be that the plane is at fault and not you. Is the ASI reading right?
  19. Jabiru7252
    Have you ever been in a situation like that? Even the most experienced people do the strangest things when suddenly faced with a scary situation. The most familiar to us all is jamming on the breaks in your car when steering out of the situation would have been a better option.
  20. Jabiru7252
    I was at the air-show and so were a good many spectators, a great turn out. The weather was kind to us. I watched your plane, especially the landings and one could see there was some work involved. Bit disappointed you didn't shoot up something with the gun!

    Does anybody know how this tacho works. Is it a 'diode pump' (fairly simple way to make a tacho) or some fancy digital nightmare? Just curious.

    The fuel drain under my Jabiru is dripping at about 1 drip every 10 seconds. I've stabbed the drain bottle prong in it in a vigorous manner hoping to dislodge whatever is causing it to drip. However, it may be that the thing needs replacing, it's over 5 years old. No information could be found in the dozens of pdf files I have on the Jabiru and no help using Google. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Now, because I have no booz and the pubs are closed, I shall calculate how long the 70 litres of fuel I have will take to drain, based on a drip diameter of 3 mm and a drip rate of 360 drips per hour. I shall use my Texas Instruments TI-89 to perform the task. God, I'm bored....
  23. Jabiru7252
    no of none??? Confused again.
  24. Jabiru7252
    If that's the case, why doesn't somebody warn them!!!
  25. Jabiru7252
    ONE piece of paper with the statement about the dangers of flying in a Jabiru. Then three columns with as many rows as you want where the passenger signs, prints and dates a line. Considering the amount of passengers I have flown, one A4 paper would last me 10 years.
