    As well as the sensor you have to do something about it. Lean mixture can promote it as well as over advanced Ignition timing and LUBE oil. An oil burner can KNOCK prematurely.. Nev

    Bad way to save Money. The NEW direct Injection PETROL motors don't have that problem. Nev

    Good idea to have them. Knock destroys engines. A loose plug can cause it Or a wrong heat range one. Overheated Motor or dud fuel. Too much boost. Incandescant carbon build up etc. Nev

    They can be anywhere. They catch the thermals. Nev

    Fuel flow Meters and fuel used information is VERY handy. Calculate endurance remaining in Minutes when convenient. Always have that in the back of your Mind. REDUCE by the reserve if you work that way.. Fuel gauges are often all over the Place in some set ups.. Nev

    THAT was Part of the IDEA of Locating there initially. Nev

    Who the hell Knows those Places Even Airlines don't use the Y code and I don't have ONE in any of my Logbooks and they Have been stamped and checked numerous times. Nev

    It's more likely in Diesel but I've had some Old Motorcycle tanks get contaminated and continue to do so unless treated. Lawnmower Places have fuel conditioners for sale. Companies exist to "Polish" Diesel fuel that is contaminated and reclaim it, for about 40c/ Liter. AVTUR has Bio Protection added. and Its dangerous to handle as a consequence. Don't use it as a solvent. Nev

    I built a few of the "ALL American" Reflex Flaps and bigger inside wing, for the 35. Could someone provide a Picture? At one stage that was viewed as the Ultimate "Combat" plane. I didn't follow the trend to RC Too expensive so went to the REAL thing and found out what real Poverty feels like. It's like a drug. You get hooked on Planes. Nev

    Who Launched it for you? Flying something Like that would Bore me quickly. It's a very BASIC plane. I mostly flew 1/2 A team racing and STUNT/Combat. I guess the 049 had short control lines. I wondered WHEN you would get giddy. Nev

    You are Not Wrong about the side slips but tricycles will always be with us but keep the weight OFF the Nosewheel. Nev

    Not ME. Nev

    I'm often surprised HOW many People don't do them very well. Without flaps you get a lot of practice, Nev

    Capillary tube is the Most reliable done properly. Bit slow to register. Unreliable warnings are as bad as having none. Nev

    What height do you continue them to? Nev

    One in 60 rule is pretty handy. Reciprocals add 200, Minus 20 or deduct 200 Plus 20. Nev

    I always make a Point of pre-pressurising ANY new or "Left Sitting" motors prior to running them. The OIL Pressure Pick up Point is a suitable Place to supply the "Forced oil" .Do it for Longer where Hydraulic Lifters are installed to ensure they are Pumped up turn the engine with one plug out of each cylinder for half a dozen turns, replace plugs and "feel" compressions.

    A gallon of Paraffinic fuel produces more than a gallon of water and you'll always get some in the Breather which in your case is the Oil return Pipe. Nev

    Motors are best left inhibited. Nev
