    While good ergonomics are very desirable your digital comparisons are not that Valid to an aircraft Panel control situation where a lot of things are ON/OFF or Up/Down. Not keyed in. Thankfully. Nev

    True but a lot of stuff has to be accessible from both seats. Nev

    Properly maintained, that (35 Years) is not Old. Pilatus are a well regarded Builder. Nev.

    There's no CVR. Nev

    You will never make a fool proof Plane . Fools use such ingenuity. Panel Space is at a premium on such Planes. IF you are endorsed on it you should know it thoroughly or be very careful before pushing buttons. In fact double check when involved with any critical control of anything, but PARTICULARLY an aircraft where there is NO room for error. . Nev

    Duel means a fight, by the way. Dual means two of. Nev
  7. facthunter
    Other than the Pilot. There might have been something lost in the translation there. Nev

    Do you mean DUAL? Nev

    Cross that bridge when you come to it.. Your entitlement to it is more important at this stage. . Nev

    Leaving a Part out should have No time limitations. Any secondary damage to the gearbox or motor caused as a result of it should be covered also.. A motor supplied in that state is not fit for purpose. Nev

    Why is a Nude beach such a big deal? the story was about an aeroplane Landing after an engine failure. If MY making that Point that was the worst thing that's Happened to you, you would be getting off very lightly here. There are 2 Parts to this Forum one More about Aircraft than the social one. I'm only asking for a bit of self discipline to be applied from people who should have it. Nev

    I have No idea where you are going, BrendAn. Apparently all gloves OFF is OK when it's Me. I tell it Like it IS and in as few words as is Needed. Not in riddles I've tried asking you nicely. That's a complete waste of time. Nev

    You wouldn't know Me from a bar of soap Peter and there's NO way I will ever respect you after the unrestrained spray against me, you've Just Indulged your self in.. Nev

    You say that all the time but still support what amounts to defamation and character assassination. I'm ENTITLED to defend Myself and let me assure you I will continue to do so. . I have that right surely. . The section you were in is where serious things get discussed .Start a new topic about nude beaches is that is your thing. It DID remind me of the giggly way we talked of such things is Sixth class so I thought it Might strike a chord with a few People. Anyhow the Overreaction is typical when it's Me involved. I'll defend MY reputation from the sort of thing peter g has just said because It's unwarranted, Nasty, and should NOT be encouraged. Nev

    They charge enough for their Product. Leaving bits out is not good enough. Nev

    Non pilot is not correct, but I haven.t worried about it as I didn't think it was Important enough to do anything about. What I hate is RUDE people like you who have no idea about being decent to other people on this forum entails .You should be ashamed of yourself, peter g. So also the two who think it funny. It's Not as there is a victim. You are also a coward as you would not say it to My face. It' only the last 5 years or so Behaviour like yours Here has started to ruin this Forum. THINK about it. You are ALSO miles off topic. It has nothing at all to do with Darwin Beach Landing, On an aged Pension things like flying a Plane are generally well out of my reach but I mix with a lot of active and very experienced pilots { none of whom would treat me as you have CHOSEN to do...

    I've seen quite a few Avid flyers. Competent if somewhat cramped, planes. There would still be a place for them moreso If Rotax hadn't discontinued those Motors.Nev

    Oh Dear. How sensitive we are, when it suites us. Nev

    I suppose WE could BLAME someone if we go back far enough. You obviously have never ridden in fog because you certainly won't be going at any significant speed. Visors and goggles can fog up it you go through a Patch of cool air or wear a mask with your glasses while walking in the street..Nev.

    What's so SAD about that. BrendAn ? It has a ring of truth does it Not.? What's wrong with recognising the Efforts of the Pilot? Aren't WE Pilots? Nev

    My Plane May have had aluminium tube fuselage with riveted gussets. . It resembled a Cessna Bird dog with a rear view. .Full leading edge fixed slots and slotted flap. Fabric covered... Nev
  22. facthunter
    This is very enlightening.. Reminds me of what we were like in sixth class. Good effort by the Pilot. Nev

    There's nothing in front of you to indicate pitch attitude. That's the challenge Try riding a Motorbike at night in thick fog. As soon as you lift your feet off the ground, you are in strife. Nev

    Fisher made a lot of nice looking aircraft. All wood construction with a Geodetic wing structure. Michael Fisher Hails from Ohio I think. The company had a Name change and then folded. There's probably still a lot about those Planes on the Net. I had a Horizon 2 STOL which(uniquely) had a steel tube fuselage. It was at one time on the RAAus register with a Continental 16F Motor. I purchased it out of Gympie. Light and dark green Paint. Nev

    It would take a rare type of Skill. Lance Fletcher, a LAME at RNAC built one. It may be the One you know of. Flying inverted in a DH 82 had me concerned about the seat belt also The type with the single pin in it. It's probably more safe than the Usual ones. Nev
