The Rumble site is noted for promoting vaccine conspiracies and other misinformation that other channels refuse to promote.

If you want to make a motza out of a new streaming channel, start promoting misinformation and anti-govt conspiracy stories where the story tellers can't back up their stories with real evidence - sort of like Trumps claims about the "big steal", whereby he still cannot produce a shred of admissable court evidence, despite lodging multiple lawsuits against his election loss.

You won't find the story (that Flightrite refers to) easily, doing a Google search - for two reasons, nay three -

1. Google hates Rumble because Rumble is intent on replacing Youtube, and Google searches decline to find Rumble due to Google algorithms that are likely designed to remove Rumble from Google searches. Rumble is currently suing Google over this feature. The lawsuit is ongoing.

2. The story is misinformation about 2 children that have reportedly died in Australia as a direct result of COVID-19 vaccination. The story is false, plain and simple.

3. Flightrite referred to the interviewer as "Steve Peters", the interviewers correct name is "Stew Peters".

But Turbo got confused between RSEA and SSEA and thought it was just a trade show displaying workwear and PPE and safety signage - so he decided he'd give it a miss.

Frank Kleinig of the 1950's and 1960's car racing fame, sold a water injection unit called "Mist-Master" in that period, and advertised it regularly in the Modern Motor magazine of the same era.

His idea was to not only assist with power increase, but also to facilitate clean engine internals and cooler running. The system was also useful for the often poor-quality fuels in that same period.

But today, you can purchase a highly refined, high pressure water injection unit from the Germans, in the form of the Snow Performance water injection system. This setup is very effective and well-regulated.

The major problem with water injection is ensuring no traces of water are left in the engine or intake when the engine is switched off.

Modern electronics can ensure that, as compared to Kleinigs relatively crude arrangement that simply relied on manifold vacuum.

There's been a pretty disastrous hangar fire yesterday at Jandakot. It appears two men were cleaning an aircraft using a fairly new air compressor, when it's reported the compressor just "exploded", and set fire to the equipment in the hangar.

Two men have been burnt trying to save the three aircraft in the hangar, but one "rare, vintage" aircraft wasn't able to be saved, and was burnt beyond repair. Another adjoining hangar was damaged. The damage bill is reputed to possibly be around $1M.

Jandakot Airport refused any comment on the fire, but a woman by the name of Gail Neylan (correct spelling) was interviewed by the media, and gave more detailed information.

It appears the two men (father and son) saved two of the three aircraft in the hangar, but were unable to save the third aircraft - and incurred burns in doing so.

I'm hazarding a guess here that the "rare, vintage" aircraft burnt was the 1948 C170 (VH-LJN) belonging to Gail Neylan. Photos of this aircraft from 2015, are in the link at bottom.

I think this is a timely reminder of how important it is to do a regular "fire potential" audit of your hangar, and ensure that flammable materials and electrical items are kept well apart, and regular checks on electrical cables, and fittings and connections, are carried out.

And of course, Chinese compressors are a pretty high risk item at the best of times, and if you choose to use them, make sure they are located outside the building.

I won't buy Chinese compressors, all my compressors are built in the U.S., France, Italy or Australia. Compressor pumps I use are Atlas-Copco, Ingersoll-Rand, and Fu Sheng (Taiwan). The Fu Sheng compressor pumps are premium quality.

The "explosion" reported from the compressor could more likely have been a major motor burnout - when AC current arcs with a short circuit, it can provide some major fireworks.

I was quite startled recently, when working at my industrial block in a small country town about 130kms NNE of Perth, to hear a very loud explosion and crackling and popping, and flames coming from the rear of the adjoining industrial property.

There was no-one at the property, it's simply a workshop owned by a long-retired (80 yr old) mechanic, who has the normal collection of machinery and junk laying everywhere. But I couldn't figure out where all this noise and flames were coming from.

Upon closer investigation, it turned out he had run a long 3-phase cable to an electric motor on a test bench at the rear of the workshop. This 3-phase cable had been swinging loosely in the wind for quite a number of years.

FInally, the movement and chafing was enough to create a short circuit, that made the cable explode with a bang in a shower of sparks and flames - which display kept up for the best part of a minute!

If it had been Summer, his shorted cable would have almost certainly started a fire. As it was, no damage ensued, apart from the burnt cable.

I can remember having a similar episode in another of my workshops, well over 40 years ago, with a 240V extension cable to a pedestal drill.

This cable had been swinging in the wind (when the workshop doors were open) over several years, and one day when we were working right nearby, the cables 3-pin plug burst into flames and smoke and arcing, with a rather frightening display.

Lucky, there was nothing flammable within several metres of the cable, and no harm was done. We replaced the cable and tied it securely, to prevent movement.

There's an old saying, "Too heavenly-minded, to be any earthly good". For all his praying, he still crashed. Praying that a faulty design tailwheel is not going to kill them, is just plain religious stupidity.

Skippy, petrol has been adulterated by unscrupulous resellers as long as it has been produced. A number of Sydney service station owners were prosecuted for petrol adulteration probably 15 or more years ago, when petrol was still dyed in highly visible colours.

For some reason that I can't really fathom (apart from the old one trotted out regularly, "in line with International practices"), the dyes used to colour the various grades of ULP have been removed, starting 01/08/2021.

I don't see any real benefits from this decision, it was handy being able to ID fuel in jerrycans and drums, when its origin was unknown, or it wasn't marked. Does anyone agree with me that this decision is somewhat of a retrograde step?

https://www.aip.com.au/colour-australian-unleaded-petrol-grades-evolving-aip-technical-market-update

I was actually rather surprised to find that the colouring of ULP wasn't regulated previously, anyway, and could vary between oil companies, and between batches (obviously from different refineries).

https://www.mobil.com.au/en-au/our-fuels/faqs

I must have been using a lot of fuel from similar sources, as I didn't actually notice much variation in the colour, as Mobil indicates there was.

But it's very handy to have a different colour between octane levels, clarifying that the fuel you're trying to ID, is higher octane than the standard 91ULP.

What is interesting is that the low aromatics fuel (OPAL) for regulated inland communities, will continue to be dyed. I guess this is because they still haven't got control of petrol-sniffing.

It's interesting to see that the Fusion CBC12V22AH battery is a VRLA deep-cycle battery - but it is approved and warranted for use as a starting battery.

So much for the repeated story we get, that there are deep-cycle batteries, and starter batteries, and you can't use one for the other. I keep hearing from people who are using deep-cycle batteries successfully as starter batteries.

It's a major mistake to think you can operate totally alone, and not make any errors. This is the whole basis behind certification, that someone checks someone elses work, continually. Two heads are always better than one - and three and four and five involved in the checking, is even better.

One of the reasons why large commercial aircraft are so utterly reliable, is that up to five levels of checking are involved in aviation manufacturing to ensure these big aircraft are virtually 100% safe.

All aluminium needs a primer before painting - and the major requirement is that the primer be formulated specifically for bonding to aluminium. It also assists greatly if the aluminium is "roughed up" with some fine grade emery prior to priming - or etched with some suitable chemical, such as a weak solution of phosphoric acid.

This is because aluminium forms an oxidised coating naturally upon exposure to air for any extended period, and this oxidised coating is a natural protective coating, that doesn't assist in paint or primer bonding.

The Searay has retractable undercarriage.

The Radiant LCD fuel gauges, coupled with the Radiant Perfect Fuel Probe (an Ultrasonic probe), seem to me, to be the best choice of a fuel gauge for UL aircraft.

At the end of the day, though, a timepiece, and knowledge of exact, real-time fuel flow measurement, is your best hedge against an engine sucking air!

That's pretty thoughtless, but people with lots of money usually think they can do what they like, when they like.

The greatest single problem here is that what would be a sizeable fine to an average person, is only small change to people like this.

Anyone who wears fake campaign medals is a clown who deserves to feel the full force of the law, relating to the wearing of fake medals. It is a serious offence, and ANZMI would probably like to know about anyone trying this stunt.

It's in the same realm as imposters posing as qualified pilots, using purchased secondhand uniforms.

I have never seen this (fake medal wearing) happen here on the Left Coast, and the restorers who produce their well-restored road-registered vehicles and trucks are quite welcome as part of any vintage or military display here. They can wear simple military clothing if they wish, but most don't. I can understand the airshow organisers trying to provide a "bit of something for everyone".

......better colour scheme, and the addition of Japanese language characters in the instructions and warning decals, to ensure that no-one misses the important messages.

"Yes, that was an idea carried over from the Komatsu-Zero from 1944 (long-overdue avref)", said OT. "Few people know of the Komatsu-Zero, it was a last-ditch effort by the Japanese when they realised they were losing the War, and additional airpower was needed. The Komatsu factory was instructed to start building Zeros, to assist the Mitsubishi Aircraft Company in aircraft output, as Mitsubishi alone was struggling to replace the number of Zeros lost to the Allies.

However, Yoshihata Komatsu, as one of Japans greatest industrial engineers, thought he could improve on the Zero design (as it was reputedly, originally a suss American design, that a Japanese engineer bought the plans for, in a $2 store in Okinawa in 1937, after he found them in a secondhand American book, in said store) - and to that end, Komatsu decided the Zero design needed strengthening in a number of areas.

The undercarriage was one area that obviously needed strengthening (as Komatsu had extensive undercarriage design experience), and also the seating was decidedly well below the Komatsu level of comfort and driver appeal.

Accordingly, Komatsu redesigned the Zero undercarriage and seating, utilising as much of the available Komatsu parts line as possible, thus ensuring a far greater ability to withstand heavy landings (it was later often stated, that the undercarriage was built like a bulldozer) - and the vastly improved seating and comfort levels enabled the pilots to come home from an 8 hour mission, without being so dog-tired and sore-a**sed, they missed the airstrip completely (few people know this was a big factor in the substantial level of Mitsubishi Zero losses).

Yoshihata Komatsu was feted throughout Japan for his great work in improving the Zero - and even though the Japanese lost the War (largely due to an inadequate number of Komatsu-Zeros), he went on, after WW2, to design some of the greatest examples of......
