Not on your life! I think this thread is ridiculous and is only likely to give authorities PC ideas. Emissions by Australian recreational aircraft are so minute that they can't be measured.

Yes, if packed into feedlots like cattle, our species doesn't take up very much space.

But... we're plundering the planet for the food, water and resources those people consume.

We're changing environments at an accelerating rate, and most native critters can't adapt quickly enough to survive. Animals and plants are becoming extinct at an alarming rate.

We may be next.

Well clearly we will have to end extravagant hobbies like Recreational Flying then.

........news will be very embarrassing to the members of RAA who rely heavily on Violet Oil to prevent bore corrosion in the engines they use in their planes, and who are of arabic origins.

......the effects of Corona Virus for 16 years.

The side effect of this was the relief of being able to buy a toilet roll, once it was clear this was better than the previous rumour that packing toilet paper up your nostrils and in your ears was better than wearing a P2 Mask.

Thousands.............

No, centuries before it's an issue.

Co-incidentally overcrowding of the earth has started to appear in the arguments of "Greenhouse effect/Global Warming/Climate change" proponents, probably because it sounds so convincing.

The amount of humans on our planet is the biggest issue facing our future.

Pick a crowded country, say England.

Go on google map and take a look around. There’s an amazing amount of wide open space. Greater Tokyo comfortably contains 40 million.

And so that infamous Insider Trading incident, which shook the NYSE to its foundations, which had been loosened by Lehman Bros being off with the fairies began with a press release.

"It is not true that Turbine Industries has found an antidote for Conrona Virus in the form of a small tablet which you mix into your latte for ten years of immunity from the virus" said Captain Cook JR, Public Relations Vice President of Turbine Industries. "We've been playing around with something, but we're not ready to hit the pill presses just yet" the Captain continued.

The stock markets around the world went berserk and Turbine Industries basic was selling at $65,000.00 per share; more than Berkshire Hathaway, Turbo and Cappy had worn their fingers to the bone selling shares as fast as they could. Both were now Billionaires, and........

But - what happens with regard to the, "NO SMOKING - NO NAKED FLAMES - NO MATCHES" warnings, around aircraft refuelling points!?

Oops!

If anyone questions you throw a match down; if there's no water the evidence is gone, if there's water you haven't breached the Act; simple.

One issue with these older Jab engines is corrosion of the steel barrels if left idle too long.

It hasn't been a problem in our normally dry inland climate, but I put a few ml of Moreys into the fuel just in case. If planning a long period of inactivity, I run it hard and inject some 2 stroke oil downstream of the carbie.

Facthunter seems to be the professor of engine storage.

.....groundless of course. Turbo couldn't afford the Wall story to get out because this would be offensive to Americans, so he offered Finklestein a cool $50 mil for the Wall, and now tens of thousands per day were kissing it, and..........

Talking with a pilot about checking for water in fuel, he reckons it’s a waste of time after a refuel as the liquid is stirred up that much it wouldn’t settle out in the bottom of the tank, only time is before first flight after it has sat for a while, any thoughts?

There are many pilots; some good, some bad.

I think you'll find most training says ALWAYS do a water check after a fuel fill, because dirty drums, tanks can sometimes contain unbelievable amounts of water. Aircraft have crashed and killed people because the check wasn't done.

If you want to check for yourself put a small amount of water in a jug and pour in petrol through a funnel. Then put a larger amount, maybe 10% of water in, and pour petrol into the jug. Measure the amount of time it takes for each to give you an indication.

That was the ONLY ever Gear indicator lamp failure that I have ever experienced in 49 years of defying Gravity.

I'd think your heart would be pumping.

Usually in Australia, by the time a pilot has called an emergency, done the flypast, burnt off fuel etc. the scanners have picked it up and the TV Crews are no site ready to film the landing, and in all the ones I've seen, gear up (including an F111), nose up, one main up two main up, I've never seen an aircraft badly damaged. The twins look amazing grinding along there on their nose, but no flips and no ground loops.

Oil temp from 85 to 100C, depending on how much of the oil cooler I mask off with tape.

CHTs kept below 130C even on the hottest days if I open the cowl flaps enough. So cooling is okey, but I’d still like to separate the oil cooling airflow from the engine cooling airflow.

Sounds good.

Below 85, water may not evaporate fast enough.

Normal Chev 350 oil operating temp is 115

Normal Harley operating temp is 104<105

You have a some good points turbs. I am continually shocked at just how easily my fellow voters are influenced by advertising. At my local council, part of safe labor seat, the fat mayor, who makes no secret of his ambition for a safe Liberal seat, gets re-elected every year by outspending his opponents on advertising.

He is a no-good mayor and the only thing you can say in his favor is that he is honest about his goal.

I wonder what would happen if paid-for advertising was banned. I think it is in China.

As was pointed out to me a Victorian Labor Minister when I commented that early voting and trying to raise 100 staff for handing out on election day was a pain in the ass; "The splinter parties can never raise the people to do it."

If you want to see how much money pays in the decision, take a look at Clive Palmer's results, and more recently Bloomberg's $0.9 Billion spend.

If you want to really see what goes on, go on the State and Federal websites and track each Booth result in your electorate for the last three State and Federal elections. People roll in and vote without the slightest understanding of what they are doing. Heaps of own goals.
