  1. The cabin generally runs at a Pressure Below ambient. The Oil tank has a breather. You haven't told me where that goes. It can even vent OIL in turbulence. You can't guarantee you have No exhaust Leaks. Nev
  2. Carbon Monoxide Poisoning is insidious. Where does your Oil tank Vent and how do you know there's absolutely NO leaks from the exhaust system? Nev
  3. Anything like that is hardly Likely to be stink free, is it? Also on a cold day it would be lucky to be hot enough to do much. I wouldn't take the Carbon Monoxide risk. Nev
  4. A Poor sealing fuel cap can do that. Nev
  5. Chopping off rubber pipe often produces a scarf that would cause flow Problems. Be super careful with everything. Ensure the flow is about 150% of Max rate required. Nev
  6. Fair chance they will still Build one but it wouldn't be a good way to become rich. Nev
  7. Pathetic. This isn't exactly a Pro Trump Forum is it.? As far as I'm concerned you could well leave Politics out of it. I'm not FAR LEFT anyhow . But I don't expect You to acknowledge that. Just Put someone in a Box and it nullifies their Contribution. It's an old trick you've Played before with Me in the Past, and you never answer a straight Question anyhow. You don't HAVE to read what I post. Are we going to require that only Certain Political views are accepted? I'm sure I haven't indulged in Hate speech OR Posted anything that I know is Untrue. Surely THAT is a Plus. How about we show what we like a bit more instead of waiting for an Opportunity to Pile on someone. I really don't know what this forum is most Interested in Now. Nev
  8. Now we have another one. Turboplanner. Don't be shy, tell me why. Nev
  9. Why couldn't you just do as I requested. Instead you continue what I never wanted in the first Place You continue to Misrepresent my position as did Peter.. I value my Integrity because I've earned it over many Years Why can't we have sensible conversations . I know I'm not liked. I can wear that. and I also Know that I Meant.. Its about 3 People who have chosen to take it out of context and Make a big deal of it. Nev
  10. Generally speaking, it's not a good idea to fire up engines without thoroughly Warming them up which is usually about one hour in the air.. There are ways of putting clean air through radials Mainly in how you shut them down. They have a lot of flywheel effect.. Nev
  11. Does the TRUTH trouble you, T510? . I put more real information up on that topic than anyone else so don't question my motives. Respect the Situation. Don't make up "Gotcha' Moments. Read back over the whole Matter and realise that it shouldn't have gone on this tack. Nev
  12. AS an example ONLY. Peter which has been explained except people KEEP bringing it UP so Heed your own advice and stop having a go at ME as that is OFF topic, too. Nev.
  13. It's very rare to even see or Hear one of these "proper" Rotaries running. I'm surprised nobody seems Interested.. They DO this sort of thing in New Zealand where they really punch above their weight. There's a great Museum in Christchurch with Knowledgeable people to show you around. It wasn't affected by the Earthquake, Luckily. Nev
  14. The Blip switch cuts the Ignition when you want reduced Power. Later Motors have throttle control (as Normal). The fuel enters through the Hollow crankshaft since the entire engine rotates with the Prop attached to it These motors used Copious amounts of Castor (vegetable) Oil and was the originator of (Wakefield) CASTROL Oils.. The Camel was difficult to fly as it turned Much more Rapidly in one particular direction due the Large gyroscopic Precession effect of the Motor . Once Pilots got used to it, It was used to advantage in aerial combat. Nev
