    Australia is Probably the Most suited country to use solar, Tidal, Wind and Pump Hydro. Remote inland places could be a Virtual independent Oasis off grid and entirely Airconditioned with solar and batteries. Big tides near Broome etc could be harnessed. We could have it ALL with a bit of foresight. Electric..... Silent non polluting and vibrationless Instant starting no warm up and regenerative,. When in all of history has such things been Possible and so available.? Nev

    Good thing isn't it. re the Canard concept. There was a time when I thought it was worthy of consideration. That was a while back. Nev

    You Might have to explain that. Nev

    At that Height the engine would be at about 75% Power so just climb a bit and keep going. Nev
  5. facthunter
    That will be Nice. Nev

    Aluminium Smelters would use more. Nev

    Bit too "Nerdy" a STYLE for My liking The Throttle should have a friction nut and ROC is not a safe mode for climb with an autopilot.. Nev

    So you think a Nuclear power Plant would be appropriate for that Purpose? Nev

    Some things just evolve. Williedo will be onto you for SHOUTING. HE got into ME.. Lots of diversions happen in the The "Tell us about your Last flight" thread. Crimps?? Skippy started it. ( checked) and it's a SAFETY issue. Most of US don't know when our "Last flight" will be. Perhaps it should be "Most Recent" Nev

    The Sun is the Best form of Nuclear energy and Its Free. No one can have a monopoly on it, nor does it add any Heat energy to the total equation. It's very much Part of the future. You can concentrate it to get super high temperatures . Nev

    You can do what YOU like but I still think soldering is good in our type of work. Do you think the FAA would condemn solder use.? They might have a fight on their Hands. How many have the High quality crimping tools and crimps? There is NO misinformation in what I've Said. I just don't agree that there's only ONE way to do it. (which is what you are suggesting.) Your advice Might cause People to use Low quality crimps. Have you thought of that? Nev

    Armatures are usually soldered but I've seen the wires welded to work more reliably at Higher temps. Nev

    I thought the pilot was talking too fast and easily upset. All that talk shouldn't be Happening on a busy Surface Movements Control Frequency . Nev

    The widespread use of crimping is to avoid skills needed to use solder and the do the Job Quicker and cheaper. Normal crimping is not that good. I don't think I've ever purchased a wiring loom that was crimped... Nev

    When not sure of any instruction just say "Confirm" Bla Bla Bla. Nev

    It ALL adds up doesn't it? The extra is Multiples of normal usage rates. Land of the fair go? Ha HA. Nev

    Yeah Stall speed is a normal U/L's cruise speed. Nev

    When you stall , you FALL. There's nothing holding them up otherwise. For the WING to do it's THING you Must get a reaction to the air passing over the wing sufficient to keep you up there even when pull extra "G" if that's what you are about. Nev

    Don't be %@#!$@ ridiculous. Don't stifle Discussion Here. FAA is Not GOD in ALL things. They didn't pick up crook Boeings.. We've given you sound reasons and you've had your say. Your Sarcasm is not needed. Not ALL crimps are good. We CAN spend the extra time to get a better job IF we feel like it.. There's nothing worse than a "hot "Join in an electrical circuit How much electrical circuitry have you wired BTW.? Have you seen Verdigris? Nev
  21. facthunter
    You just KNOW. (someone will bring that up). What the Canard? Nev
  22. facthunter
    Stall speed and wing load AUW and a few other things might get in the Way. Nev
  23. facthunter
    Maybe in Libya.? Nev
  24. facthunter
    Stranded Copper wire where Moisture gets near it will turn green Called verdigris That would be just great at the crimp. Nev
  25. facthunter
    Do you assume no one will comment on it being a canard? Nev
