    For flight crew? My info was the limit pressure height was 13300 limited by compressor efficiency. (Supplied from the Makers data). I suppose You Tube knows best. That fellow was talking a lot of bunkum. Nothing beats Proper expensive and approved by the Authority, training. You can't "feel" you are getting hypoxia. You actually feel everything is fine, as your performance drops right off. Nev

    He managed to make Q link do an orbit. Nev

    General max pressure height was 10.000 ft.Absolute Max alt was 13300 feet on anything I could find. Compressor function is reduced with height The usual aircraft CREW equip't is a Mask with Diluter demand function.. They don't ever use the Little tubes up your nostrils in A/C. oxygen supply. Some Planes used chemical generators for emergencies. . Nev

    One of the best coverages that I've seen.. In my Airline training we had to go in a Baro chamber. You can't write. your nails go blue and you talk stupid, but think you are OK. Nev.

    Just keep the weight off the Nosewheel. Even a higher than normal engine idle speed will Make a J 230 float. You don't want to use up extra runway. Maybe your flare height is a bit low. Do some slow speed flying at Height to get a better feel how it feels when slow. It's a Plane that needs to be flown very precisely but will handle gusts etc well when you are used to it.. Again, Keep the weight off the Nosewheel especially on take offs. Fly accurate airspeeds. Allow a bit more when you are Heavy, or it's Gusty. Nev

    Get a decent airstrip first.. Nev

    It's not piston compression used to Push the Oil up the return Pipe. It's what gas leaks past the Piston rings that Pushes it back to the Oil tank and all gasses pass through to the Breather pipe on the side of the Tank. High rate out of there means more blowby. Also if you use a larger dia return pipe Gas will pass the Oil up one side and the oil won't go through the Pipe as intended. . Nev

    It's stall speed is 64 Kt.s Not that fast. Nev

    Don't chuck the Motor. It has Historical Interest. I might be able to swap you something for it? Nev

    IF you don't understand what I'm saying I will answer any questions. But Maybe not tonight. Late for dinner is not tolerated here. Nev

    A "taildown " wheeler is more difficult to"Pin" the aircraft on the ground. Apparently it has a brake similar to a chipmunk (but Mechanical) where it's pulled on by hand. Maybe it jammed on. (Ratchet pulled too Hard) When you're slow. the elevators don't do much to stop a Plane tipping. The Main directional control is achieved by the steerable Tailwheel with the stick held right Back in the Landing roll to keep the wheel in constant contact with the surface. Nev

    The amount of blowby past the rings is the MAIN Factor. New engines have to be turned over slower to get the Oil to Burp. You can feel that when you pull the prop through.. Nev

    They all obey the same laws Of Physics. Forward vision on that is restricted and I guess you don't get a lot of time to spend practicing in something that rare. Nev

    Too much brake Applied and tail wheel on the ground bit soon as well causing it to get airborne, Nev

    No SEX please. We're British.. Nev

    To deter you from making your plane from Gold, I suspect. . Unobtanium is not Listed. Nev

    Apparently breakage of those bolts is very unusual as the flange is quite large and it has dowels also. I'd check the engine itself before doing much as usually any bolt breakage is the result of some other problem. The bolts are not subject to Shear loads. The dowels take that and the clamping effect (friction) .There are essentially NO New Parts available. and that's been the case for a long while. The engine appears to be a good design and well Made.

    The engagement of those starters is quite savage. The best set up is a Pull cable that eliminates the solenoid which saves weight and has the gear engaged before the Power is applied to the Motor. .Nev

    Sweep back Wings make them twitchy. (Dutch roll effect) and Anything small is twitchy already. Smaller things look to be going fast and a Life size A-380 looks slow. Some of those models would be harder to land than the real thing.. Nev

    Definitely not. That type is for joining a Pipe to a smaller pipe using thin tapered solderless nipples, which crush onto the pipe as the nuts are tightened. The nuts used have to be internally tapered also. It's an obsolete and not very satisfactory system. The SPHERICALseat on that elbow is one of the best set ups and seals on a narrow 45 degree seat on the correct part with a thin line of contact achieving the seal reliably with some degree of misalignment tolerence.

    Volts X Amps equals WATTS. A White charger is a Horse.

    If you Mount a Plane on Poles at least use high strength Points to do it or you are just Butchering it, unnecessarily. Nev

    it's ALWAYS facthunters fault. FYI, red is a Moderator and you put a "CAUTION" warning against his post. I just gave further information about the Aircraft. Just facts. nev

    Who is sooking.? Is that not an insult? You don't even seem to know when YOU are doing it. Nev
