Captain Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 (quick enough for you ....) And with this post, McLocksJock acknowledged that speed is good. Rather ironic don't ya think? Why then, dear reader, does he do with 100 hp what a 160 does with 80? And where does that extra 20 hp disappear to when he flies afar? That great RAA member, Isaac Newton (or was it Pythagoras) concluded that energy must be converted into either heat, noise, vibration, rivet loostening or drag (not that there is anything wrong with that)? In the case of McJockLock and Brett the big C and their Czech sculptures, that 20 hp is converted into ...................... (Wouldn't the aunt prefer rivet lines as a feature to HideyHo's squished ASIC apparatus? Now .......... here is where I have no alternative but to support BigPete in his quest for matters aviation in the NES. Le Crappee made a brave attemp to keep to PrescriberPete's guidelines with a rational discussion about recycling ASIC cards and their obvious attraction to owners of aluminiminiunm aircraft, and the Ahlovachian turns it into a discussion on the detailed design of eastern european manufactured things what my Aunty uses. I sure hope that GetSquarePete appreciates that it wasn't me that went off subject ......... or there will be trouble. My Aunt is searching her garden for the lost 20 hp.

"Le Capitan is very inciteable, especially after a vist to the Brothers" said the revered RAA member Newton "What he's saying is quite correct, to maintain any semblance of structure in any kind of wind the aluminium can method needs to be propped up by using rivets. "It is a hopelessly weak structure in itself" said the candid Mr Newton" "Now imagine if you can, and I accept that many of you can't, judging by some of the furry comments I read" he said "the can moving through the air. In front of the rivet there is a build up of high pressure air which in turn causes turbulence as the boundary layer gets the s*it kicked out of it" Isaac had been educated in one of the rougher parts of town and occasionally lapsed. "And of course there are literally THOUSANDS of rivets slowing the aircraft down; it's a miracle it can fly at all - and of course without the rivets it would crumple into a sharp edged pile of junk that even Riverrand Nana would turn her nose up at. "So", said the Eminent Member the only solution is to throw heaps of power at it and hope for the best. "In fact, if you ad the eastern European origins, you'd probably have to design to the value of E=MC3" said Newton, who new a thing or two.

"Given all of them rivets, those Ejektor SportSzaras go pretty good" said Pythagorus who had just worked out the hypopotenuse of the wing cord near the centre of lift" "No wonder McLocksjock bought an Ejak(ula)tor Sportszar" said Le Crappe (who was still smarting from the abuse about his breath from a few posts back). "But given Tubb's detailed explanation in the previous post, does he think that they would go faster either upside down or backwards when the tiny little rivet-based numerous high pressure areas would become low and the 100 hp would become 120 (and they might then go like a 230).

Its not on if not Dacron ‘ cause Dacron it is lighter, It bounces hail that dimples rivets While never bouncing tappets Nor sagging on the warm days Could it be thinks she that the vortices around all them rivets serve to keep the boundary layer attached and them cunning budvar can types have completely sheathed ( not that there’s anything wrong with sheathed) their machine with mini vortex generators??? “ "Hey Aunty, ..... work the hypotenuse out of this." said Pythagorus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turboplanner Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Meanwhile Turb had been distracted by a seemingly innocuous little thread called "Stalls" which was basically about people hating their instructors. That along with Hilow's mention of Vortex generators brought to mind a previous thread on Savannahs which started innocently enough: Crappers: I've been thinkng that the slats on my Savannah wings create too much drag. If I took them off, would I be able to get the cruise speed up from 75 kts to 130 kts which my mate does in his Sierra. Dungbreath: No worries, just unbolt (there followed a seven page explanation of which spanner size you use to undo a succession of nuts, what happened as he skun his fingers trying to get the corroded one undone, how he ordered a can of penetrene through the mail, what he said to the delivery company when they squashed it, how it didn't work, method of repair using araldite after the oxy accident, and photos of the final job which apeared to be of a different coloured aircraft to his.) It should be pointed out that Dungbreath had been building his 200 hour kit for the past five years and was getting close to the test stage. All the other Savanah owners seemed to be away on cross country flights, except Opinion. Opinion: Yes that's right, the modification is a bit difficult but worth it. Crappers: I'm still a bit nervous about this, Dungbreath - have you tried it out yet. Dungbreath: Yes, I'm up to fast taxying trials, or was until I hit the cowshed, but we all do that don't we, and it's definitely a lot faster down the strip since I took the slats off (forgetting he'd also mowed the strip between trials). Thus reassured, our good mate Crapper carried out the modification, and on his first flight planted the nose in the nearest manure pit. Within six months there were two more newspaper reports with photos of crumpled aluminium, but fortunately all three survived and bought Sierras, which couldn't land in their paddocks, then Tecnams, then....

Captain Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 "I know bugger-all (aviation term) about flying (aviation term)" said the Nanna after spending a night in the hayshed with Isaac while he taught her all about his E (aviation term) and her MC2 (aviation term) "But even I know that it surely has to be the rivets (aviation term) that are causing these problems (aviation term)". "It sure is" said ................ My Aunt doesn't mind being rivetted (aviation term) out there in the garden, but she sure won't fly in one (aviation term).

"The problem with the younger ones is that they are just pop riveters (Aviation Term)", she said. At this point in the interests of appealing to wider audience, particularly those who like to travel to YSWG via YMGL, YARS, YMUM, YBAD requiring poor old Nana to go back to the Code book and thus lose interest, we'll shorten "Aviation Term" to AT. How stupid: "Where do you come from?" "Oh, I live in Australia Sydney Broken Hill" Where are you going for your holidays?" We'll be spending a couple of weeks in Australia Melbourne Mildura then going on to Australia Melbourne Mallacoota." Don't they know were Australia is? When did Mildura move to Melbourne? Meanwhile back to Riverland Mum who was warming to the rivets (AT) after following the thread (AT) of aviation related stories insisted on by StuffyStarchedSpittleSlatedSpete, who it must be said has not been pulling his weight recently. "I like the air bag one best" said Riverland Mum "because the Riveters don't get their fingers blistered so soon, and they tighten faster"....

Now Turbz, being a frisky young lad, deftly manouvered his sweetheart to the back stalls (ha, there's that word again!) and settled in for a bit of snuggling during the movietone news. "I'm feeling a bit naughty" thought Turbz as he snuggled with his sweatheart in the dark. "Wonder what would happen if I popped the old fella into her hand?" he mused. So ever so carefully, he unzipped and gently pressed his pride and joy into her hand. "No thanks, Turbz" his betrothed responded.
