    Normally a Wrinkly red ring means too Much Chilli or something worse. Nev

    In any SPIN you are stalled. It's also Know as Autorotation.. You don't stress the Plane until the dive after the recovery. IF you are careful the Max is about 2 and a Half "G". With BAK, you CAN do a BAK, but how MUCH is covered in it is the question. Nev

    Norm Edmunds built one at Kyneton which everyone in SAA got to see the Progress on. It had a Jab 2200 Motor. Theo Van Alkemaide had a VW powered One at Lethbridge, which I helped him work on as we were pretty good Mates. He was Notable for Being Minus a right Lower leg and his Left Arm. Nonetheless he Managed to fly the Corby OK, and also flew Gliders. He kept his sock up on the right leg with drawing Pins. I think he MADE about 84 years . I remember him getting his OBE. which he said Meant Over Bloody Eighty. RIP Theo. Yenn, who was on this form also had and flew a Corby. Nev

    Be an early one wouldn't it. Nev

    She had a Nice Plane. Navigation capabilities a bit Lacking. Nev

    You can't go into, fly in, leave or change a Level in CTA without a clearance or be more than 2 mins out with an ETA. Nev

    Your Logic for that statement,BrendAn? You are making it up. Where are all the Questions?. People may be a bit wary of venturing. Nev

    Lots apparently. There's not much of it happens. Nev

    There was some Later advice that they were not in good shape. Sorry I lost the reference to it. Someone may be able to help out. Nev

    I don't think that was very Helpful. Do you think "Sand-pit for seniors" is appropriate? Nev

    It says you can't use Halon and then suggests It? . I'd rely on what the CASA has to say. Smoke in the cockpit is an issue. On big stuff you first don the Oxygen mask and make sure you are still able to communicate.. Nev

    The Idea is to discuss and kick around ideas. Is the general Knowledge around what we call BAK adequately understood and applied properly? I would suggest there is a lot to be desired. People should not be Deterred from asking Questions. It's a good way to learn. Nev

    I would suggest using that stuff in a plane is not a good Idea. Nev

    Why would you want Ammonia in the equation? It's not nice stuff for People to inhale. Nev

    Excluding the Post above. Well, THAT went well, didn't it?. How about we try to Make this Place somewhere where things CAN be discussed in a Civil Manner? Nev

    Look Up Ammonium Bicarbonate and it's uses. It is NOT used in C02 fire extinguishers. They use Liquified Carbon Dioxide under high Pressure. It comes out very cold which aids taking the HEAT out of the fire. It functions by excluding oxygen. Electrical fires are best controlled by Isolating them and finding the Circuit with the Problem item. Engines. shut off the fuel. Any uncontrolled fire LAND as soon as Possible. Revisit how well your firewall will function. Nev

    It's certainly a fair whack. Nev

    Is this an Aircraft Forum? Nev

    A lot of decelerative force. Maybe it stalled? RoD? Nev

    Very strange that NO ONE has commented about the Headwind effect. Knowing about it can Make the difference between getting to the Field or falling short.. In cruise you can save a lot of fuel. Its BAK really. Nev
  21. facthunter
    It's somewhere near the Minimum Drag figure. Turbulence and control actuation causes More drag. Nev
  22. facthunter
    There May be others with different Limits. Is that somewhat Like a rattle can? The one I have in the Workshop is quite heavy with a long cone Nozzle and a Pressure Gauge. Nev
  23. facthunter
    You wouldn't want to be sitting in a Plane when the cabin temp was 50c. It will have a pressure relief valve. Nev
  24. facthunter
    If you have a headwind you Must glide faster if distance over the ground is critical. Best glide speed also depends on your weight and C of G. Nev

    You could also argue it shouldn't be privatised. Nev
