  1. Here's an idea; what about asking Rotax for the correct specification.

  3. ..........work 18 hours a day if promised a PS5 when he digs up 50,000 tonnes. The trouble, surprisingly, didn't come from the Columbian orphans; it came from the mistake of allowing the quota of 10% females to be exceeded, something labor governments, like Victoria are grappling with. Labor set a minimum standard of 50% females and then more were added on the basis that the standard didn't say they couldn't. Then they started dressing up and appearing on the TV news each night pretending that they had been building bridges all day. In this case the women started dressing up as miners, but although they were mine managers, they didn't really know what miners did, and it came to a head when they sent sixty million tonnes of 18 mm crushed rock to the Chinese who had ordered uranium. Cappy's friend Chairman XI who was already miffed at Trump being touted as the "World's peacemaker", putting their attack on Taiwan off for ANOTHER year picked up the phone to his little friend Albo and blew........................
  4. .....to come and receive dental treatment which had never been practiced in Panama before. Bull and his son raked in a fortune with that dentist chair, and soon the had a row of 32 dental chairs and a coffee shop. Bull taught Mexicans the fine art of dentistry so there was no problem there, and they sold the rotten extracted teeth to the Shamans of the Rain forest, telling the Shamans they'd chopped up and eaten the Panamanians but were practising sustainable dentistry. The Shamans didn't know what that was but paid for them in gold and ......
  5. Somewhere in here there fits a classification of airctaft bought by Millionaires\Very Well Offs\two thirds of the retirees\the profits from the business\a kit that costs three times what you thought it would\an old heap of crap without engine. If you want to fly different airctaft for different applications, by far the best way is aircraft hire; you avoid the hundreds of hours fixing problems and hundreds of thousands to pay for designer/builders mistakes. RF, your "I've realised now in my 5 years, that even the villiage idiot can land a Piper." is interesting, testament to your Instructors and experience, but how's this not just for Pipers, but the ones I flew. I would agree with you with one exception, Power on stalls, where the Cherokee will drop instantly out of the sky and give you a few palpitations to tell you it's an aircraft like all the others. The Warrior I took on many long distance flights, which could stop on landing a few metres after the piano keys, became a total write off when someone put it through the fence at the end of a runway. A Cherokee 140 I used for hire in NSW also met its probable end when it was thrown at a golf course where it could have landed.

She offered Don T the Nobel Peace Prize next year in return for a one time one way airlift of 2.2 million people. All was going well until the seventh day when God happened to be trying to get to sleep and .......... Update: Confucious Fong was silly enough to say this to the Mayor of Cabramatta (English was not his first language) and now they are walking around joined together by one ass.
  10. ..........in the local dialect, told them in great detail about Gentle Jesus and forgiveness, but when he got to the part about walking on water, and dividing the little fishes, someone up the back said "Eh Gringo, you not talk enough then you talk too much all bullsh*t", and pulled out a huge machette; and that's when Turbo learnt that Panama was the only country in Central America in which the people weren't catholic. He ........................

  13. 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.]
  14. .........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 ................."
  15. 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.

  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. ........make a gringo dress to go with his hair. KR spat out a seething reply in Mandarin, but to his surprise a huge Panamanian with beady eyes, just like OT's stepped up and invited him to dance ...............
  21. 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.
  22. .......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 ......
  23. 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.
  24. The only problem was Ruddy didn't get permission from the Party, and a member from another faction dobbed him in to Don for Posing without a Permit, a felony, which was kicked upstairs to the Military and ruddy has been handcuffed by six Marines and put in ......
