    To deter you from making your plane from Gold, I suspect. . Unobtanium is not Listed. Nev

    Apparently breakage of those bolts is very unusual as the flange is quite large and it has dowels also. I'd check the engine itself before doing much as usually any bolt breakage is the result of some other problem. The bolts are not subject to Shear loads. The dowels take that and the clamping effect (friction) .There are essentially NO New Parts available. and that's been the case for a long while. The engine appears to be a good design and well Made.

    The engagement of those starters is quite savage. The best set up is a Pull cable that eliminates the solenoid which saves weight and has the gear engaged before the Power is applied to the Motor. .Nev

    Sweep back Wings make them twitchy. (Dutch roll effect) and Anything small is twitchy already. Smaller things look to be going fast and a Life size A-380 looks slow. Some of those models would be harder to land than the real thing.. Nev

    Definitely not. That type is for joining a Pipe to a smaller pipe using thin tapered solderless nipples, which crush onto the pipe as the nuts are tightened. The nuts used have to be internally tapered also. It's an obsolete and not very satisfactory system. The SPHERICALseat on that elbow is one of the best set ups and seals on a narrow 45 degree seat on the correct part with a thin line of contact achieving the seal reliably with some degree of misalignment tolerence.

    If you Mount a Plane on Poles at least use high strength Points to do it or you are just Butchering it, unnecessarily. Nev

    Who is sooking.? Is that not an insult? You don't even seem to know when YOU are doing it. Nev

    It's only responding your bad behaviour. The fix is easy. Don't make up things I did NOT say. Nev

    You are Verballing me to draw that Inference.. Knock it off and play fair. Nev

    Expecting to use something and Pay nothing when it's occupying valuable land and has considerable running expenses is Cloud Cuckoo Land, stuff. I' ve gone to Meetings over Kyneton and contributed (scarce) Money to Pt Cook. Telling some of you which way is up shouldn't bring forth Personal insults. Nev

    You can't reasonably expect to have the use of them without Paying. some one HAS to pay. The user is appropriate. Nev

    They have a fairly short effective life especially if they get in the sun. You can't fully rely on them either. Nev

    Cross runways are to handle cross winds. That's why they Have them. It's for safety. Ignorance abounds.The actual area a runway occupies is not that Great. Grass ones HAVE to be Mown or they are dangerous. Nev

    Remember you don't have to prove anything and IF you are not perfectly comfortable, it's not Pleasure any more so save your Money. I know quite a few who just said "What am I doing up here?" and stopped. It's not as if there are not other ways to engage and amuse yourself at Less cost.. Nev

    A Plane stuck on sticks is NOT flying. It's Sacrilege. It should be in a better Place. Nev
