    You do the right thing. Get, (consult) the experts on the Ground and it still BITES you. PS the GPWS (Ground Proximity Warning System) actually says "Don't SINK" but you know what Pilots are. Nev

    That's the 2 two seat versions of the Auster Range.. They didn't have flaps. 90 Hp Motor, usually a Cirrus Minor. Nev.

    The GPWS says "Don't think, Don't think" Nev

    I remember that Happening . It was a 2 seat version. Archer or Aiglet. Nev

    Can you confirm what you mean, space. Nev
  6. facthunter
    Just ADD the Mirrors and that's what we now Have. Nev

    WE have progressed beyond that . It's not a good "Terms of Reference" base. Undershoot means any THING that would ACT to make you land short. We can Collectively work our way through this, but if you are not careful, some confusion may result which WE do NOT want. Nev

    Windshear is the difference between freestream at Height and ground level wind velocities. You'll notice on a x wind approach the Crab needed to stay on the Centerline "should" reduce (a bit) near the Ground.. Nev

    Do you have ANY IDEA How long it would take to explain THAT properly? IF you really don't KNOW you are a rather lucky Boy that you haven't found out the Hard way. I suggest you brush up on it because it's only getting worse with some of the weather the World is getting.. It's a HAZARD to all forms of aviation. Nev

    The Caliper itself has to float freely, too. Not too clear in the Vid. A disc brake assembly can end up quite weighty. Something from a Mountain Bike should be OK. You don't require sustained High energy braking in most normal ops Clevelands are Drum. A good form of brake Could be in the wheel as a multi Plate clutch as some larger aircraft brakes are. Nev

    I wouldn't think THAT is the case. If the wheel bearings get loose, THAT will straight away give you pedal travel before brake application. A "floating disc" reduces the effect of disc warpage (Shuddering.) U/Ls don't need Brakes like race cars have, but they need to be reliable. ( Like when the plane in front of you stops or you're turning close to things) The DH 82 didn't HAVE Brakes . Nev

    Balsa with good thin Plywood glued each side side would be excellent. Nev

    Lack of pressure, also.(Not pack) Yours are designed to handle water Any bit of wobble will move the discs away . Nev
  14. facthunter
    Best used to be 5 by 5. Scale 1 to 5. Nev

    Nothing pulls the Pads back. The pack of pressure should be enough for them to turn freely. Nev

    When Large Planes are left Parked, PINS are placed in the Undercarriage and the wheels are chocked. Nev

    HI-wing Cessna RG's have a lot of drag during the retract stage. It's part of Knowing THAT Plane. Normally "Gear up" is the FIRST thing you do (unless it's a very long runway). Nev

    Maybe Netanyahu allowed THAT to Happen . I recall the Egyptian Gov't ( Moslem Brotherhood) warning Israel that something BIG was going to Happen. It's extremely unlikely MOSSAD didn't know of it as well. 2 Officers of the IDF have been dumped Publicly over that. Nev

    Well it's a bit like this Oneside not declaring ( WAR but having a 3 year one) wants the Place Zelenskyy Runs and also threatens to NUKE a lot of the West (Like the UK for Instance)................and he's got this big pile of Nuclear Bombs. and {people wo only want a World that HAS them in Charge like they reckon it was after WW2 when they were GREAT. Nev

    Tell Pauleen Hanson that, and her voters. Nev

    Most gear lock down is by the "OVERCENTRE' mechanism which often uses a spring as well for the Alternate extension Free fall case.. Green means Down and locked. when you select UP the first action is to unlock the strut to allow it to fold. I know weight on it makes it harder to retract and sometimes there's a restrictor Pin in the Gear Lever like a trigger on a rifle to prevent inadvertent retraction. BEECH but the flap and gear switches next to each other????? Robbie needs to be MORE careful what HE touches when he's in a PLANE. Nev

    Quite a few CASA people have Landed gear up. Most Pilot's have NEVER done it. It's too Noisy, and you can't taxi. Nev

    They ALL have to worry about their economies ESP the USA IF there's a real war, nobody really will win IT. War is MADNESS today. Nev

    With a too far AFT CofG the Tailplane can/will stall and you can't get the nose down and the Plane itself then stalls and it's all over. You MIGHT Manage to stay flying IF you keep the speed High. Its THE most dangerous situation for loss of control you are likely to encounter. You get into an Unrecoverable FLAT spin. Nev
