    That's the point I was making; I don't use instruments to find the new knocking position. [Sorry about the last post, I was trying to reduce the words to the issue.]

    .........leader, and show them how to get out of prison. Some slight reduction in numbers (what pollsters call "approval ratings" in politics) occurred when Kev made his acceptance speech in Mandarin, just to show how clever he is. The numbers dropped further when Gonzales de luca d'alonzo shouted "Hey Gringo, hold the crap!" and Kev responded with a blistering hissy fit about Mexicans! not realising Panama was a different Country with different customs. For NES recreational aviation viewers, Panamanians didn't fly Thrusters, Drifters, Jabirus; they flew "menuvo avion hecho de madera contrachapada y bamboodling de kits chines impulsado por blueheads". You can just imagine the reaction when one of these dudes flew into the airstrip in Panama with the radio call "Buenos dias companeros y companeras; menuvo avion hecho de madera contrachapada y bamboodling de kits chines impulsado por blueheads 19 2765 ................."

    If you are modifying a factory engine beyond the factory assembly and settings standards, it's called tweaking; you might use a sensor but that's not necessary.

    They do every year for all sorts of reasons; from pilots trying to teach themselves to fly, a lot from lack of maintenance, more from component failure following an earlier massive overload from unconventional flying, and plenty from unconventional flying to force a faster muster, particularly of wild cattle where they'll work a single beast around rock formations and trees, with rapid forward and reversing actions instead of just positioning themselves so the animal walks away. Then there's the reaction time required for autorotation if there's an engine or drive belt failure. In the R22 you have 1.5 to 2 seconds to act on the collective. In the past we've talked about reaction times as good as 20/100 second where a pilot has ingrained the action he is going to take on something like an EFATO by gettig it into his subconscious, so when there's a failure, the pilot's conscious state realised he's already taken the action that will save the aircraft vs not training yourself for action where initiation can take 3 or 4 seconds, and more if the pilot's first reaction is this shouldn't be happening, what do I do, was it stick back and left pedal or stick forward and right pedal etc. There's an ATSB report on R22 VH-DSD fatal where the pilot radioed other mustering helicopters that his aircraft had stopped flying.

    1920'a cars had variable distributor timing, with a lever on the dash or steering wheel, connected to one side of the distributor. This was to protect your hand from kick-back when you were crank starting. You'd start the engine retarded and then move the lever to advance the distributor. You could feel the power curve from the seat of the pants - increasing as you advanced the ignition to the point where the power started to drop off just before knock. After a while you knew the sweet spot and didn't go further. When building race engines, where I've shaved the head for higher compression and converted the fuel system for Methanol A, the ignition timing will be quite different, and I "feel" for the end of the power curve and the beginning of that slight drop; a dyno solves the need for road testing. With the standard Lycoming engine Lycoming's dyno-test, reliability tests save you a lot of experimenting, but it sounds like you are tweaking.

    This hardy little car was designed at the beginning of the Compass and Pen days of car design, where Indian Ink (which came from Afghanistan) allowed a much sharper profile than HB Pencil which produced cars like the Studebaker and MG TC. We can also see this style in british trains where the designer set the front profile by sticking the sharp bit in the centre of the winscreen to produce that traditional rounded appearance. The Khybers knew this was an English car from the whine coming from first gear as it set out on a journey. The Turbine Wall as it became known was designed by Turbo's Grandfather, Frank Lloyd Turbine, a well - known architect, and in Adelaide and Sydney in those days you were't "with it" unless you incorporated one of those walls in your new house.

    .......passport. "Do you know who I am?" he asked "Never eard of ye" replied the Canal Immigration Officer in Spanish/Amrigos des las americas. Ruddy had a hissy fit and was promptly locked up and given a bowl of hot chillis, a cigar and a cat, which is the custom of prisoner treatment in Panama. Six weeks later KR had toned it down; his hair had grown down to his waist and ......

    didn't bother our KRUDD, or more correctly Labor's KRUDD. He dug straight through the cell's concrete floor with his vitriol, dug a tunnel underneath the perimeter, made a canoe out of his 36 hankies and chewing gum and set sail for Sanfrancisco........ A rare photo has appeared in the Bombay Bugle, showing the harsh terrain Turbo and Cappy fought in, Turbo with the additional handicap of a gunshot wound inflicted by a caseless Cappy. In the background is the Company Kitchen which had to be dragged up the "Track" by the men, while the Officers rode Camels. The Cooks would churn out braised gort, roast gort, grilled gort, fricassied gort, gort soup, boiled gort etc. with something different every day for the survivors.

Cappy, ever the experimeter is one of the sufferers, and gets HS when he is hearing something he doesn't like, such as the "Welcome Home Albo" a few days ago, when the Labor faithful, whether they liked it or not were required to show up at the Canberra Ambassador Motel to "welcome home" Albo. One speech in particular got up Cappy's nose, and that was Albo's. Cappy started to spasm just as Albo was telling everyone he "had Don around my little finger" and Cappy, his voice quavering, quavered..................................

    BS. There are a few who dig their toes in and yes, the skeletpn staff/staff doing other jobs will help them, but it's like the banks; the old dears kept on walking in so they closed them.

This had sometimes happened on the Khyber with the khybers who wouldn't get up and fight, leaving the heavy lifting to Cappy and Turbo (Turbo would always be a step behind Cappy after that careless shot). Turbo would just shoot them to save on food rations, but Cappy had a way of ingratiating himself with them and they would start to charge forward becoming good targets while Cappy blasted away at the enemy. On this occasion, he unstrapped the good looking First Officer Roxanne and motivated her to ...........................
