.....and it sucks and blows? Kind of like upgrading to a turbine. Now to the problem of finding enough power cord........
-
Another point on the trusty old side valve, most of the combustion energy is expended trying to blow the head off the block not push the piston down.

In other words a Thruster or Drifter you look between your knees 'coz thats where you are going. I heard it said that a Thruster pilot can throw his keys out at the moment the fan stops and from 5000 ft. will land exactly one aeroplane length past the keys. Howzat for thread drift ??? steering back to aviation !!!
-
.....back as his mind returned to past posts and realized that the engine in a 1941 Ford Prefect is a side valve. About as powerful as a side valve Morry engine....... Side note does any NES reader remember why side valve engines are not all that suited to aviation??? ( captain I thought I would just chuck that one in for fun )

E-Props ...who has first hand experience with these
CT9000 replied to eightyknots's topic in Engines and Props
Remembering that it is generally easier to get weight off the pilot than the aeroplane -
.......said aaargh what the f###ck was that {just like the mayor of Nagasaki back in the mid forties} {war ref.}........

Ok now we have to face up to some people stretching the truth a tad. The refined readers of NES may well see through some poetic license. 1/ no aircraft noise in DG ? We have three airstrips in DG 2/ Catholic girls collage ? No secondary schools in DG 3/ Asphalt to crash on ? Only through roads in DG are asphalt 4/ 15yo tittering girls ? You might find one 15 yo 5/ Footpath ? Yeah right where? 6/ Going to the airport came across the saw mill The saw mill is the other way I could go on but I won't. Maybee I have been conned into making a response by some very clever people just baiting

....the industrial sized bunnies started to chew on the train coz they need the iron supplement to support their huge growth.....
-
.....chuck in a few quid to help build a rail track. The train is still bogged to the guts in mud at the new rail terminal because trains are not so good without tracks....
-
.....I came across this bluddy huge rabbit which knocked the bike over then proceeded to kick the proverbial crap out of anyone nearby........
-
......just realized that the 2:15 Boilnda train may have a problem 'cause there are no train tracks. And now looking up at this mother of all bunnies, it is possible that the idea of being conned may have been a bit hasty .......

Further information here no sir they are definitely not cheap canvas shoes but are confirmed 100% cheap plastic
-
......nice friendly smile, we don't wear thongs here in chairman Dan's state. We wear Chinese safety boots......
-
.......new rifle this bolt action 10 shot is a bit slow maybe a 50 shot auto might be handy....... small correction to yesterdays ref to my flowing locks of golden hair, Statement of truth here, I have a full head of hair just like a bowling ball.
-
......race in the Le man's style where you start from the public bar hot foot it to the airfield then fly {avref for a change} to Vic, avoid the lockdown areas and land with no landing fees speeding tickets general fines or being locked up for any other reason......
-
....... ahhhahh but it is still all in fun. I have heard it said {in fact I have said it myself} that a taildragger landing is not finished till you are halfway through your first cuppa. Another view is not finished till your pants are off.......
-
.......just about managed to remind the NES followers that the aviation thread has been lost again and maybe we could drift back. Speaking of drifting I saw a car, whoops here we go again. sorry, flight suit.....
-
.......even a few bits of lead in the under ground mutton sandwiches...........
-
......a sense of indestructability and willingness to accept the inevitable smashed hand broken fingers etc. as any one that has tried a crank handle would know, if the timing is just a fraction out pain is near.....
-
.......the starting race which required the contestants to start the old Vanguard six with the "stirring stick" {motoring ref}.......
-
.......train their cats. Although he got a few side ways glances when he refered to the cats as furry little bags of dim simms......
-
......education programs. the latest of which is a process to teach cats to hold their breath. But first you need to buy the education kit which consists of a bucket to be filled with water and comes with full length leather welding gloves.........
-
......now that is how you f#####k a bunny......
-
.......package that it came in I want to read the label. At this point he spotted a couple of small boxes which had printed on the underside " UNDERGROUND MUTTON, with chicken spice". ..................
-
......then the test flight numbers came out. As usual the real performance is somewhat different to the advertised numbers. The 130 kt. is theoretically possible but at 17000'. To get 100 hp at 17000' you need an engine with about 250hp. The 10 l/h is the idle fuel burn. Then there is the small matter of useful load with the 6 cyl lycoming up front the empty weight is 550kg.plus some fuel, no margin for a pilot. {just as well 'cause the cg. to balance the engine puts the fuel at the rear} All is not lost however because all the bunny fur will make the whole lot bounce a bit when it runs out of fuel and the cg. moves forward resulting in a near vertical dive......
