    I'm addressing YOU. The "Experts" Hoped the atom Bomb wouldn't cause a chain reaction that would destroy the earth, but proceeded with it anyway. Very considerate. Nev

    No-one with any brains at all would start something not Knowing what it will do and Maybe cannot be stopped. How Many idiots does it take to crash a Plane?

    Stellantis Now has Many of those Brands. Wartime Production figures 363,000 by willys & 280,000 by ford. . They were able to Pull substantial weights. I thought they were TOO short to ride well and found them uncomfortable for any distance but they were Pretty tough. Nev

    Some Wartime Jeeps were Made by FORD and some by WILLYS and they are a basic simple 4 cyl sidevalve engine and quite reliable but not that Powerful. The engine is a Willys design. Todays Jeeps are BY Chrysler and have been for Ages. Nev

    It's a BAK question every pilot should know the answer to.. Nev

    A nose heavy Plane stalls at a higher airspeed and will use more fuel . Discuss? Nev

    I suggest it would be very worthwhile to refer to NSTB USA ERA17LA246 (Final report) if you want to operate your 9xxx motor safer. This is authoritative stuff. Nev

    Is that the Best way to do it? Nev

    There's a Glider Museum at Bacchus Marsh which can handle groups for a Guided tour. I went there a few weeks ago. Comfortable size about 12.(That's My estimate ). . Nev

    Flew out of Bond Springs in 1969 in a Blanik. No trouble finding thermals but 2 other Gliders joined me in tight formation which I found a bit disconcerting. Nev

    Only responding. You wrote a lot more than you requote. Just a few FACTS which could not be refuted and you chose to ignore. Nothing assumed. Nothing personal. Unlike your comments, which I feel get very Personal though you May not realise it.. Play the Ball and not the Man, please. Nev

    Most planes at an aerobridge cannot depart without a Push back by a TUG. Engines are started during pushback and push against the tug at ground idle thrust. Nev

    I am JUST discussing things & If you don't like it don't bother reading it. I NEVER SAY sell it. Don't tell me the carburettors haven't given concerns, Take the drowning floats as an example, they have been known to stick with the dashpot wide open. No-one could really argue they are Located in a place that could be better. A float Carby sitting there is BS really. Its a fire risk and hard to keep the fuel lines cool. That's why you have to have that silly fuel return bleed thing which adds fuel to one tank and mucks up any fuel flow measurement and may cause Low fuel Pressure which is NOT safe. Lets not kid ourselves. A lot of other set ups are not as finicky. Nev

    Looks impressive. Nev

    I'm not against Innovation at all and don't suggest that I am. She fixed an existing Problem without much help from the USUAL Knockers, who wouldn't do anything about it. Nev
