    One of the warnings of a GWPS is 'Don't Sink'. You Tube will only get worse. Nev

    You have Plenty of choice How , where and with whom you do a BFR. Nev

    Just unlicenced? Fair chance that's unsafe too. Hardly likely to be doing everything right/compliant If he doesn't bother to be Licenced.. Others sharing the sky deserve some assurance THEIR safety is NOT compromised. That's how the system works. Nev

    The GPWS says "don't think, don't think". Nev

    ANY person who suspects an AIRCRAFT is being operated unsafely is required by Law to report it. Nev

    Mazda 's are not the worst Cars in the World, Their Arrangement with Ford worked well for Both. Remember the BONGO Van and the Astina. Nev

    You can pick up some Horrible BUGS with some of these sources, I have One computer completely F%$#&@ by Opening a Posted Link AND I'm careful. I can't afford THAT expense. Nev

    There's no guarantee the Wankel will develop as the Piston engine has.. After trying all sorts of valving the Poppet valve has Proven superior, even for GAS FLOW. Two strokes are virtually GONE. II wouldn't Put Money into wankel development. Round holes are easier to seal., IF seals have to have changing angles and flat faces It's asking too much. Even loose Piston Barrell face rings. Mazda gave it a good shake A pilot mate of mine had 5 engines in his RX3 but he Loved it. They don't have a Lot of torque at Low revs either but with a supercharger the Output is sky High But I Guess the Life is less.. Fuel was cheap in those days. Nev

    They used to say IF IT will start, it will get you Home. They were Used in some racing Outboards. As I also Mentioned there was an Airooled NORTON Wankel Engined Pterodactyl at Gympie that was pretty Neat. Nev

    Hard to silence them too.. Nev

    It's a TEMPERATURE thing and a Wankel has a lot of Variation of temps and distortion issues. When the Motor stops, the coolant also stops circulating. Better to idle briefly. The Rotor doesn't just spin either. It passes from hot to cold areas, and runs around the Periphery of a Gear. Near the exhaust Port it's VERY hot. Nev

    I like FACTS and Flying needs More facts, not soft Porn. It Used to be called GOOD GEN, and People rejected BS . Now if you don't treat everything as a Joke You are ridiculed. It's NOT in the OFF TOPIC section either. BrendAn YOU would not Know ME from a BAR of Soap. Nev

    ARE you,? Actors are Primarily actors, putting on a show. I wouldn't waste the time Watching it..Nev

    Shutting them down suddenly from high Load is also bad. Nev
  16. facthunter
    Started without being warmed up straight to full Load. Kills motors, Like Emergency Generators. Nev

    It's more of a distraction than an asset . Clickbait stuff. Completely unnecessary and superfluous. Not analogous to a Book Cover in any respect. Nev

    I've always been wary of Pilot's who choose to project an Image. What you actually DO is what's important .Nev

    It's supposed to be about HANDLING AEROPLANES, not a "show us your Tit's" thing. Nev

    Yeah she Made sure her Lungs were on view. Were you weaned to early? Nev

    It's recognised by anyone who knows about hybrids that the ICE Motors get a Hard time. Also that the Fuel/HP is Poor with a Wankel design and the reason is excess combustion chamber AREA to volume which is inherent in the design. Sealing will also always be a challenge as well as distortion with VERY uneven heating. Nev
  22. facthunter
    Interesting, but they are not fuel efficient, for reasons I have explained. and the engine oiling is similar to a 2 stroke so I can't see how it would Pass Pollution standards easily. Hybrid motors get a Hard time. Nev

    Couldn't monitor the Power due to Lack of Night Venison Glasses. Nev
  24. facthunter
    They aren't made any more. They are too thirsty and Polluting. .They don't chuck bit's out the side like reciprocating Engines do. Nev
  25. facthunter
    They are NOT fuel efficient and never can be. Too much combustion chamber area. Inherent in the design. Nev
