    That really IS a silly argument.. You won't find many GOLD nuggets in a sewage farm. IF you seek FACTS search TRUSTED sources. Work with People who can be trusted and you'll waste less of your "precious". time. Nev

    618's have had crankshaft Issues (Break at the drive end). Don't climb out over trees or over houses. Nev

    Too large a stagger makes no sense. When on the retarded position it will lose too much power and runs hotter. The faster the Gas burns the better. (Flame travel). Firing them at the same timing achieves this. IF a plug is not firing that cylinder runs a bit more retarded. 2 strokes can whisker plugs and that can be a transient and correct itself. Nev

    IF you seek that kind of Information there would be many better sources of it than the One you used. All those outlets are interested in is ratings. so their revenue gets better. Fear sensationalism and hate. The OLD formula. . Pilot organisations deal with for one. It's often thing s Like being passed over for a Promotion when you thought YOU were inline for it.. Alcoholism Depression. The medical Assessments are supposed to cover the "Personality" things like "Manic Depression" etc. Nev

    It worked for Me. Nev

    With dual Plugs the timing can sometimes be staggered. Check Factory figures.. IF much difference the REV drop will vary . Nev

    Wedge it at the wheel if you want to. Excess toe in will make it wear also. Scrubbing. Rub the Palm of your hand across each tread to see if it's like a rip saw tooth effect. Nev

    Could be a timing variation. Might be worth checking the settings Something fitting over each HT wire with the engine running. Keep away from the PROP. Put marks on the prop hub with a marker pen. Nev

    Camber doesn't matter much. A bit of toe OUT helps a Taildragger at touchdown. Nev

    Any of that would be pretty visible in ITALY. The silly tail is just for looks, like a lot of this stuff. Rich people's toys.. Nev

    I've done Plenty of spins and aeros and taught both. IF I had to guess I'd say it's a medical event, I've also watched the vid about a dozen times. ALSO planes don't stall by themselves. It's a perfectly fine day. There's no evidence of any control application. The Plane is so close to being vertical there's no difference. Nev

    He crashed a few Planes during his training. Nev

    Most likely rolling about it's own axis just building up speed.. In a spin the speed remains constant.. Nev

    Emerald is not a bad town compared with what's further West ., The Gorge is 240 Kms from there to the SE. Do a search. There's a bit to consider. Nev

    Once it's unstalled why not try to recover? As speed builds up the nose attempts to rise anyhow. You'd have to force it to stay in a vertical dive. Nev

    Not stalled in a vertical dive. Nev

    Any "UPSET" at cruise level requires about 9,000 ft to sort it out IF you are not right on the Ball anticipating it. Turbulence and control movements add extra drag and you are thrust limited especially if you are at "Coffin Corner" which I made a point of never going. It's where your VMo and MMo come together. Nev

    It will definitely keep you OFF the streets. Nev

    A thorough Investigation requires that you don't rule out anything. Nev

    Gen 4 is Chinese isn't it? IF you know what you are doing you can change the Valve springs without removing the Cylinder on engines like that. Nev

    It's getting to feel a lot like Christmas. Nev

    A few reckon they wooden work. Nev

    There's also a 2 seater COLT with no flaps and a smaller engine. Stalling speed a bit high. Nev

    Pusher props are less efficient. Better to operate in clear air. Nev

    Plural? Nev
