Following on from Vev.....

Or if you are recommending, on Recflying, to gullible people, lubricants not on the manufacturer's approved list, be prepared to take the financial responsibility for any failures.

This particularly applies to experience with one engine, or in one application, or if you "read it somewhere" or if someone "told you".

An oil needs to be dyno tested over thousands of hours, with strip downs at fixed intervals before it can be approved with confidence.

There may be engine design issues, such as galleries too small from some viscosities, locations where the heat factor exceeds the breakdown of the oil etc.

The engine failure rate in recreational aviation is of serious concern.

...clap the cymbals around.............

You're right FT, what a wonderful, caring person he is.

One friggin engine major - you need that to happen on a hundred before getting excited....Oh and 180 trouble free hours?

Ausadvance, if you had been involved in any one of the number of forced landings listed from Pilot Notes, so not just lurid assertions, and you or your loved ones had escaped death or serious injury by the skinniest of margins, or if you had paid out thousands of dollars for training only to see several of the aircraft you trusted involved in forced landings, you might have had some empathy for the feelings of those who have been involved and aren't just spending a lazy Saturday afternoon when they comment. If you want to see anger, just taunt them a little more.

.....the nose of one who was but is no longer and who.......

snake.

"WRONG again!" said Epaulette, that is just a reflection of the sinewy form of Venus, visible at this time of year.

"Well what's that sinking its fangs into your leg then" replied the coe.

I have been reading over this forum, and the mechanical and Jab issues aside, I am disgraced by the hostility and plain b*tching i have been reading. first of all guys calm down! I am not a fan of the jab aircraft myself, but that is just my opinion. Doesn't mean I need to come on a forum and whinge about it like a teenage girl. when it comes to mechanical and safety issues certainly have constructive conversations about things, but what I have been reading this morning clearly demonstrates why I refuse to call myself a pilot and just tell people I fly aeroplanes. we are all mature adults on here, we have to be to fly. lets act like it.its like they say, "pilots, looking down on people since 1903!"

We've had a number of very interesting discussions on it Phil, but so far none of us have been able to pinpoint the deign issue around the through bolts.

Its actually only the SPL application itself You can't do till three weeks before. You can fly as young as you like - My son has been for a few months and has been ready to solo.

.....impeachable."

"Doncha mean impeccable" said Tinhead?

"What does that mean" asked Epaulette.

"Well.................."

Madge won't be able to respond for a while, he's been upskirting all afternoon at Airlie Beach and has a badly sunburnt face.

Posting in the wrong thread is a good way to muddy up the water greybeard.

You aren't educating anyone with this nitpicking on what might well be just a rushed post which could have had more precise wording.

...or has no interest in fixing things.

You would need to read the financial reports to decide that D.

Couldn't agree with you more Jim.

I'd certainly say you have been restrained on this site

It could be that the realization is starting to dawn that the old "members would only be bored if we told them" and "small minority" excuses have reached their use by date and there is now some very serious sh$t heading their way.

Kaz, laying it out like that, I think, is now the only way to go. I've been tallying up the Accessories, and there's quite a caste coming to light.

You're right Gentreau, well designed and well built engines can achieve surprisingly even life cycles, and in fact in the heavy truck industry most operators know the current life cycle of say the 550 hp Cummins, Detroit and Cat engines.

There could be a very heavy price to pay for denial here.

....but what he didn't realise was that Loxie the slippery little brown-nose had Epaulette on board.

Epaulette rose to his full height in the seat of the rivetted structure, and even over the whine of the Rotisery gearbox, spluttered: "MY...................."

....which has led me to the thought that if I stay permanently airborne (which some say you can only do with a RottenAxe) then what can they do? Shoot me down?"

Turbo managed to hack the switchboard of the Wagga Wagga Fire Brigade and set off the alarm.

Loxie immediately threw the SpottyStar into a spiral dive and descended, cutting off two Rex powered darts and with his formal radio procedure of "Sorry Mate" flicked out of the last circle straight on to the centre line of..........the Olympic Highway!

Not surprising thoughts Jim. I'm of the opinion that this needs a legal resolution.

....Margaret Thatcher.

"You'll have to get some jelly out of your backbone to match her" said Mavis*

Loxie* responded with "I've got the backbone of a..................."

*In the tennis terms, this sentence was a marathon, and Turbo had had to go right back to #7299 to discover that AhSaturdayRockOff was the subject and Mavis (a cohort of Brine) was the speaker.

I'm sure virtually anyone in serious business knew what an Executive Director was, and it is never confused with a part of line management.

Are there scrutineers or independent witnesses at the envelope opening? Do the envelopes go into a sealed box before closing date?

....move in a quite lifelike manner, but of course they don't have REAL epaulettes.......

.........uniforms.

"See, I'm a fairy fiery furry fire" said Loxette

"I'll raise you one", said Doubtfire, "I'm a cope, crop COP!" so I outrank you"

"No you don't" said Loxette because I have the.............."
