  1. Normally a Wrinkly red ring means too Much Chilli or something worse. Nev
  2. In any SPIN you are stalled. It's also Know as Autorotation.. You don't stress the Plane until the dive after the recovery. IF you are careful the Max is about 2 and a Half "G". With BAK, you CAN do a BAK, but how MUCH is covered in it is the question. Nev
  3. Norm Edmunds built one at Kyneton which everyone in SAA got to see the Progress on. It had a Jab 2200 Motor. Theo Van Alkemaide had a VW powered One at Lethbridge, which I helped him work on as we were pretty good Mates. He was Notable for Being Minus a right Lower leg and his Left Arm. Nonetheless he Managed to fly the Corby OK, and also flew Gliders. He kept his sock up on the right leg with drawing Pins. I think he MADE about 84 years . I remember him getting his OBE. which he said Meant Over Bloody Eighty. RIP Theo. Yenn, who was on this form also had and flew a Corby. Nev
  4. Be an early one wouldn't it. Nev
  5. She had a Nice Plane. Navigation capabilities a bit Lacking. Nev
  6. You can't go into, fly in, leave or change a Level in CTA without a clearance or be more than 2 mins out with an ETA. Nev
  7. Your Logic for that statement,BrendAn? You are making it up. Where are all the Questions?. People may be a bit wary of venturing. Nev
  8. Lots apparently. There's not much of it happens. Nev
  9. There was some Later advice that they were not in good shape. Sorry I lost the reference to it. Someone may be able to help out. Nev
  10. I don't think that was very Helpful. Do you think "Sand-pit for seniors" is appropriate? Nev
  11. It says you can't use Halon and then suggests It? . I'd rely on what the CASA has to say. Smoke in the cockpit is an issue. On big stuff you first don the Oxygen mask and make sure you are still able to communicate.. Nev
  12. The Idea is to discuss and kick around ideas. Is the general Knowledge around what we call BAK adequately understood and applied properly? I would suggest there is a lot to be desired. People should not be Deterred from asking Questions. It's a good way to learn. Nev
  13. I would suggest using that stuff in a plane is not a good Idea. Nev
  14. Why would you want Ammonia in the equation? It's not nice stuff for People to inhale. Nev
  15. Excluding the Post above. Well, THAT went well, didn't it?. How about we try to Make this Place somewhere where things CAN be discussed in a Civil Manner? Nev
