    Some don't. Have a look at a Breezy. Nev

    Seems to have worked out OK. . You don't need clothes to keep you warm in Darwin that often. Nev

    Supposed to be a serious topic affecting safety. Nev

    Utter BS. More gratuitous insults not called for FOR . Rather unnecessary don't you think. It's supposed to be about Jabiru repairs, and in the serious section. . Piling on me is a sport Here. Knock itoof and if there's something I say dispute it specifically and I will address it.. I don't pretend to know everything. Nev

    Things only get sucked out IF the Plane is pressurised. Nev

    No need to crash because the door is Ajar Just some extra drag and some noise.. Don't be distracted. Nev

    A Drifter flies quite like A Tiger Moth and to ME feels a bit less draggy than the SB Thruster The only thing that worried me was something going through the Prop of the Pusher. The view from the front seat of a Drifter is pretty much unexcelled. Nev

    Yes it was a Bad rate of failures The R-2000 is a bit hard to coax into life and the Backfiring is damaging. The failure could occur sometime later Usually at the Head shrink band but one was catastrophic in flight. Sudden with a lot of Metal Miles from anywhere. Nev

    I have no control of what you do. I was replying to BA, so why make your comment at all? As I have said often "a Joke at someone's expense is NO joke at all. it has a victim" . . It's NOT funny and I've ASKED you to stop doing it Many times. You know I don't like it, so I see your continuation of it as a deliberately hostile act. Nev

    Being a bit nervous is better than being overconfident , You take less risks that way. You have to believe you can do it though. Just make sure you get the basics right and keep the plane in control, right up to the crash IF that's the way it has to be, Wherever you, are HAVE a Plan. That's good Gen. Nev

    Replying to Blue Adventures. Pull your Head in. You can't help yourself can You. Nev

    I had a mate in TAA who flew Hueys in Vietnam called Elvis (not his real name) and he got a write up in a German flying Magazine years after, relating to how he developed a special technique for landing in long grass, "over there".. Nev

    As long as you don't ponder about being trans? sorry for the drift. Oh father .. I have sinned again...Nev

    Loud noises would make my sphincter tighten too, IF you are not sure of what the cause is. Nev.

    Burner cans and blades use better than SS of any kind. Some Turbine Blades in the hot section, are a single crystal of metal and are Hollow for cooling air to pass through. The technology is truly Mind bending..Nev

    That work from CKT looks good.. Nev

    The STAINLESS Pipes can crack and are difficult to repair. They are really the ONLY thin (and light) thing available, Mild steel heated can go soft and lose strength. RED hardness or refractory metals handle these situations There are about 4 types of stainless used in exhaust turbo situations. Good cast iron is fairly common then we go to real refractory metals like titanium or Inconel for F1 and exotics. Most turbo charged aircraft run with their exhaust system running near white hot from the exhaust Port to the turbocharger. and they don't get Much respite.. Nev

    Yes it's clear you have no idea about discussing things reasonably. Nev

    Flying is near 100% Newtonian physics plus aerodynamics. You probably have a good knowledge of that, Baz. I also doubt you would have a fear of flying Block but a flight with a fool show off trying to scare/impress you, can change that. Do the full Medical assessment off the record. (That's better to do now than find out later that you have a problem) If OK get a Designated Medical and get a student licence issued , then you can log your flying and have an ARN. I'm happy to Mentor you privately if you wish. No obligation. I've done it before. Nev

    Very funny. That's supposed to be a Put down. You are never without words. Just don't change what I say and we will get along a Lot better, What have I said that is a lie or Misleading? Nev

    Most Problems with CO are in situations where it persists for a significant time period ie Exhaust leaks coupled with firewall sealed inadequately.. While you might get some crap smell on start up I would regard them as transients and not likely to be of any great consequence in the big scheme of things. You don't sit idling slowly to warm the engine or do engine checks. You'd never be sitting in a Piece of stale polluted air with a prop stirring it up. Nev

    I never commented about trucks at any stage. You just want to have the Last word. Read what I DO say and I will answer for what I do say, always. Nev

    Yes it's always been a bit of a worry as the interior is always at a pressure below ambient. The fumes can leak in at the tail or any opening.. Perhaps have more air from forward facing inlets? Nev
