    That's fine red. but you have had a few shot's of a personal nature against Me and I don't think that's right . I DO value my reputation for things like trust and honesty. I also don't beat around the bush that much. That's Always been Me. I hate to be Long winded. I will Always respond to a genuine question and Hate Pissing contests. How one comes across on line is very much in the Mind of the Perceiver. I don't try to Portray an Image one way or another. I KNOW I can annoy some people but it's not my Aim. AS they say "You Can't Win them all." AS an excuse I AM an aeroplane and engine Nutter every day of my life but It's an affliction and eventually an addiction . Anyhow, Before you die, SEE HARS. Nev

    I will say what I have learned about any Motor and none of them are perfect, especially Piston engines. A motor that can't be faulted is yet to be built. They are built by Humans. Reciprocating engines have rapid Load reversals. torsional vibrations and can fly apart with great force. Better you know about it and deal./ live with it or perhaps be FAT, DUMB and Happy with blissful Ignorance I can understand that but don't whinge IF/When you come unstuck. So far it's worked for ME. Haven't injured any person OR Damaged a Plane. I've had a LOT of failures but I didn't CAUSE any of them. Nev

    That's been covered Brendan. We are on totally different wavelengths. Nev

    It would be good if more brought forward an opinion. Isn't THAT what it's supposed to be ABOUT? It's EASY to link to some Half Baked Guru or the quagmire of U tube.. I suppose it's better than nothing, BUT there's plenty of crazy stuff there IF you want a Challenge sorting it. . Nev

    Suction can cause a bladder tank to collapse and vent fuel.. Nev

    That's complete rubbish. You have a lot to learn and the wrong attitude to learning. Hell I've put a lot of effort into Listing things that Might be some assistance. ALL engines have Faults and idiosyncracies. What I've said about two strokes applies to all two strokes likely to be in an aeroplane I've spent a lifetime working on the B'' things and never once mentioned Rotax when flying one. Nev

    For a Moderator Peter, you are a disgrace. You just don't like FACT's and have always had a grudge on ME. YOU are NOT Meant to Remove stuff you disagree with and I have a right to stand up for what I believe and have done a lot of research on or it's from personal experience Ie the HARD way. Challenge the Facts with Facts IF you don't agree with them. I"m OK with that and always have been..Nev

    Bit of a waste of money in my opinion. Insulator foullng is the Main problem, not Point wear and you have Dual ignition. Nev

    A bit of extra oil in the fuel is always a good idea with Pumps. Once the Engines are hot the Oil separates from the Fuel better and despite all the talk of fuel/oil ratios recent extensive dyno tests have found about 40: 1 is best power output with correct mixture adjusted in all cases. 2 stroke lubing has always been considered MARGINAL needing anti friction bearings everywhere. Normal OILS Lower the Octane by a large amount. Don't use and also TCW3 is for Outboards ONLY. Plug heat range is a bit more critical that other engines too. 2 strokes can detonate. Use high enough octane and don't use stale fuel if mixed. Ring groove Carboning is a cause of ring breakage and sudden failure. You can check that by removing the exhaust pipe. and pushing the rings slightly but the best is to take the Cylinders off and check. Pull the prop over and check how the compression feels. . Inverted motors sometimes get stuff on the Plugs Remove and scrape the Insulator with a Sharpened hairpin. Chisel point. Nev

    Look harder (IF you really want to find out). I DON"T have any axe to grind. I was flying 2 strokes then and it was common Knowledge. The 582 quickly became the PREFERRED ENGINE in the 65 Hp range. I'm careful with all things and have never had a 2 stroke fail. There can always be a first time but the More careful I am, the More Lucky I seem to be. Nev

    I've explained my view about such Matters. You all complain about how the NEWS writes up aeroplane matters. It's pretty much a FACT FREE show.. Nev

    The failures are on record.. Nev

    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
