    Isn't there supposed to Be a DOG there to watch this sort of thing. Nev

    Bypass pressure is not the Be all and end all of anything. It should be a rare occurrence to allow unfiltered oil to Pass. (emergency), like filter blockage. Delivered oil under these Circumstances will be at a pressure Lower than normal by the By pass figure. Depending on where you Measure the Oil Pressure you may not even be aware of it Happening. IF this Happened it would be difficult to say the engine was not damaged. It's NOT the Normal way to operate. It's an "Any oil is better than not having any/enough", BUT how can you guarantee that there's NOT a great Lump of grunge going somewhere it will do Harm from a Blocked filter? Some times a Bypass valve is in the filter Mount casting and the Oil can Bypass without going anywhere near the filter element itself, so risk of contamination is reduced. It could also easily be fitted with a warning indicator . Nev

    Related to any Weight & Balance changes, Mainly. Nev

    I have pointed out advantages but not linked to actual landing judgement. It's mainly the Indication/confirmation of stall safety Margins in various configurations and weights and manoeuvres.. Very useful if you have a complex Flap /Slat retraction schedule. It doesn't show overspeeds etc Just AoA related stuff. Nev

    Wind Rain Hail Dust Willy willys, animals damaging your little bird. Water shade and clothing EPIRB. Food Poisoning, dehydration. Planning and Management of a high order required , especially in the More remote areas, Nev

    Have you guys done this sort of thing, Before? You would be better to stagger your arrivals. You have to be sure you know where everyone is along the way. It's extra risk and effort..Nev

    Flying as a group, while you are in the Air is Not particularly safe. Nev

    The Monosoupape is one of the simpler Rotaries of the Period . The exhaust port is directly open to the Air and ingests AIR immediately after exhausting to which an overly rich fuel-Air mix is added. There are many other brands around. Clerget, Siemens-Halske, Bentley. After WW1 the rotary concept was dropped. in favour of static/fixed. Motors. The rotaries used Windage to aid cooling which was inefficient. Nev

    Well, we better be more careful of what we say HERE, Perhaps? I am by Nature and experience a careful person and look for risks before I do things.. It Hasn't stopped me doing plenty of things. It just Means I'm still here and Haven't ever injured anyone OR damaged an aircraft. . Nev

    Is that not a concern? Nev.

    MB. the end of my last sentence makes the difference. The air supply Must come from outside of the Cowl where it cannot be contaminated by exhaust fumes. Nev

    There has always been a user Pays philosophy. They have to justify their extra expenses.. These days they have More Lawyers as a % than in the past. THAT doesn't help Pilots. Nev

    Lots of Guests. It has been normal for ages. I've mentioned it quite a few times. Nev

    It would NOT be from anything in the budget . As far as I know Casa was funded from fuel related imposts and CASA was meant to Pass some of that on to RAAus bit discontinued the Process unilateraly, Maybe CASA could trim their expenses as they have less "Little " planes to worry about. FAT chance of that Happening. Nev

    Peoples words are being twisted here. Anyhow that bulkhead IS a firewall. It's just ridiculous to use the Heat from the engine Bay to the heat the cabin directly. I can't see how it would ever be approved by a responsible authority. The accepted way is from a heater Muff on some Part of the exhaust system with Fresh air drawn from outside of the engine area.. Nev

    The cabin generally runs at a Pressure Below ambient. The Oil tank has a breather. You haven't told me where that goes. It can even vent OIL in turbulence. You can't guarantee you have No exhaust Leaks. Nev

    Carbon Monoxide Poisoning is insidious. Where does your Oil tank Vent and how do you know there's absolutely NO leaks from the exhaust system? Nev
  20. facthunter
    Anything like that is hardly Likely to be stink free, is it? Also on a cold day it would be lucky to be hot enough to do much. I wouldn't take the Carbon Monoxide risk. Nev
  21. facthunter
    A Poor sealing fuel cap can do that. Nev

    Chopping off rubber pipe often produces a scarf that would cause flow Problems. Be super careful with everything. Ensure the flow is about 150% of Max rate required. Nev

    Fair chance they will still Build one but it wouldn't be a good way to become rich. Nev

    Pathetic. This isn't exactly a Pro Trump Forum is it.? As far as I'm concerned you could well leave Politics out of it. I'm not FAR LEFT anyhow . But I don't expect You to acknowledge that. Just Put someone in a Box and it nullifies their Contribution. It's an old trick you've Played before with Me in the Past, and you never answer a straight Question anyhow. You don't HAVE to read what I post. Are we going to require that only Certain Political views are accepted? I'm sure I haven't indulged in Hate speech OR Posted anything that I know is Untrue. Surely THAT is a Plus. How about we show what we like a bit more instead of waiting for an Opportunity to Pile on someone. I really don't know what this forum is most Interested in Now. Nev

    Now we have another one. Turboplanner. Don't be shy, tell me why. Nev
