    Any one got details of the WEATHER. Nev

    You Certainly do in "that Part of the world". Nev

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

    Welcome aboard Ollaz. Tell us about your escapades. 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

    Yes and thanks. Nev

    I reckon He designed and Built it. We have a Genuis in our Midst. 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

    That's a Curly one. Nev

    Don't crash in a Yellow Plane in the yellow Plain.

    I question your LAST line. I have NO desire to fly on it. A BA one turned back to Sydney over Orange on a London flight , about 5 days ago. They are not without Issues. Nev

    All Pressurisation systems are complex. That's not an article for Pilot study.. There are disadvantages to Having a 6000 ft cabin altitude. Most run at 8500 which is no problem for most People. Required height is 12000 in the US and 10000 here to fly unpressurised. . Above that supplemental oxygen is required . Max differential pressure is just below 9 psi but would be higher with a cabin alt of 6000 ft so the structure must be stronger and the Compressors work harder. I don't like the IDEA of electric motors driving it. It's to save fuel and would be a pretty high electrical load. There's a few things about the dreamliner I and a few others don't like but it's the Long range plane to use where that is required. I don't know how the anti and de ice systems work . Normally they are Bleed air and work better than anything else I know of. The speed through the air heats the Plane about 32 degrees above ambient at cruise alt but the Clouds at that Height are ice crystals and are not a Problem, unless they Include Cb. or you are near the Intertropic Convergence zone. (Thermal Equator). Nev

    IS THAT Possible? Nev
