    The LATER ones. The entirely FLAT roofline had to go. Nev

    Don't bet on it. Nev

    The corrugations don't align with the Direction of the airflow unless it's a Co-incidence. . Be interesting to have actual L/D figures for the Plane. Nev

    Close Coupled Cowls on those 540s Can cook the engines. Cowl gills are Manually operated generally. Nev

    Few people will admit they Bought a LEMON. Most Planes are a good way of sending you Broke. Bad weather affects them all. NO plane LEARNS to fly. You always have to get it to go where you want it to. Autopilots have their OWN set of risks. You can't JUST leave them to it. Nev

    Detonation is not a problem generally when engines are operated at the recommended settings and correct fuel. That includes the CORRECT Heat range on the Spark plugs and Making sure they are correctly Tensioned. Observe CHT Limits Boost and Rpm combinations.. Nev

    That Price is cheap enough if it's what you want. A V belt derive is My preferred Method. The Quill drive is designed as a failure Point to protect the rest where it's direct. Nev

    Are you sure of what your Material IS? Nev

    Most earlier stuff was FLAT Perspex supported by a fairly strong frame on 3 sides.. Nev

    I Probably do much more searching than Most do and it's WHERE you search that gives the BEST results even IF it's not the answer you expected. The MIND doesn't live easily with unanswered questions so will often be comfortable with something convenient and not too challenging to their Current Mindset. Nev

    Many Installations will overheat the engines quickly without the Cowls in Place. Nev

    Might be per Hr or per flight. Most Robbo's are not static exhibits, and are relatively short flights. Nev

    a DIGIT is a Finger and didn't the Duke say "Finger OUT"? Nev

    More common than generally realised. (poor starting techniques) It's common also with LPG auto engines . Nev

    Cracks are caused by stress Points. Nev

    Direct INJECTION is another Path. It will also prevent destructive Backfiring. There's NO combustible MIX in the Manifolds to explode. Nev

    Not long ago I was well and truly scammed and they even got Money out of my bank. THAT PC is never to be connected to the Net and I'm pretty Careful. Look what's Happening to OPTUS and Airlines. Nev

    It will WORK till it doesn't. Past performance is no SURE indication of FUTURE security. EVERYTHING that CAN be corrupted will be. IT HAPPENS ALL the Time. People KNOW everything that you do (If they wish to). Nev

    Except the Ones from Nigeria. Nev

    You might have to explain that one to Me. Nev

    Plenty of Instances Of serious DAMAGE as well. Only covered to first transhipment Point. I don't know where you get your "SEEMS" from and 2 of them?? Often the Price charged is More than the Value of the Article. Nev

    "IT won't happen to ME", is OUT THERE. Accidents only happen to other people . Watch the Weather . It's more erratic. Nev
  23. facthunter
    Nothing but GRIM in My experience. nev
  24. facthunter
    At the temps there you need most of that for an RPT. The issue is single runway and having a damaged Plane on part of it. Nev

    I think we "did" those topics better in the OLD days. Most of it is still there IF you want to Look.. Nev
