    Touched down a bit short. Submarine approach They need a lot of runway. Nev

    Some aircraft will exceed VNE , turbulence Penetration, Flap extension speed limits in Level flight at WOT. With any descent It will compound the Problem. With a fixed pitch Prop is May easily overspeed the Motor. If this is Likely shutting down the Motor is the Only way to avoid it. Risks are too high otherwise BUT you can Pick the Point where you do this, and do it wisely. Starting some engines on full throttle is Unlikely to succeed. Your main task is to successfully do an engine out landing and that's not rocket science. It's a good question to consider .It could happen. . Nev

    That will make it run hotter. How can you manage a motor at low level and descending on WOT? (full Power) It will capture all of your attention trying to Manage it when you should be flying the Plane. I'd get over a Large field and shut it down by turning the fuel off. Nev

    I certainly would NOT be doing that. . Nev

    Perhaps , but rust makes things expand and it should show something if you measure the OD carefully... Cables should be Protected by application of a protective grease. which also stops wear around pulleys (which you Must inspect as well as tension). They are usually canvas reinforced Bakelite with small ball bearings and a metal strap that doesn't allow the cable to come off. Nev

    Sorry I've never seen coloured Pitch Levers that I can recall if that's what you are referring to. So far the concern has been about Max cruise "continuous" POWER. Introducing a CSU is or an in flight variable pitch complicates things a bit . The POH would Have MP/ RPM relationship limits. Level gives MP at WOT then adjust the RPM to what you need and see as optimum for continued flight. WOT on a supercharged engine is a good thing for efficiency. Nev

    Corrosion and any strand Breakage. replace. In a lot of Planes a good inspection would be difficult without removal, so IF it's very old why not replace it then?. There have been problems with damaged cables in some Beechcraft from Memory. Your life depends on them. Nev

    This a great place lately. for not being able to have serious discussions like we used to. Jump on thread drift if you must But Be consistent. Don't just use it when it suites you. We should be able to handle widely different views. I've been almost 20 years on this forum Ian Baker Provides.. Also address the subject and do not try to Make "Gotcha" moments for those you don't like. Peter this is not in response to your Post as it was originally posted at the same time yours was. Nev

    Doesn't prove anything, does it really.? Plenty of Russian stuff leaking at the Bottom of the Ocean. Nev

    I keep looking, don't worry. You don't answer any propositions I put to you. Quoting yourself is Just LAZY and an insult to who you are addressing. Nev

    It's been ruled out by a lot also. It's NOT cheap and it's a bigger security Risk. This discussion? is an exercise in futility. Nev

    Ok if the waste is stored some where near you, BrendAn ? It will be near someone. and artesian water goes underground LNG contributes to C02, The whole World sees Nuclear Waste as a serious Problem. Nev

    Natural Gas is a Misnomer. There's no Natural coal. Natural gas would be a Fart and it doesn't have to be fracked The chemicals used in fracking are no good for the earth. Nev

    That's a tiny battery doing a big Job in the F1 car where every Ounce counts. Nev
  15. facthunter
    Are you saying that Because some failure on a complex F1 race car happened, EVs are Not any good.. I really can't see the Logic of that. Nev

    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
  18. facthunter
    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
  20. facthunter
    That will be Nice. Nev
  21. facthunter
    Aluminium Smelters would use more. Nev
  22. facthunter
    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
  23. facthunter
    So you think a Nuclear power Plant would be appropriate for that Purpose? Nev
  24. facthunter
    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
