    Several ways to go; retain whole door frame and cut off upper plexiglass section; or have sub frame for top half plexiglass that hinges down from midpoint; or delete upper plexiglass and fit adjustable deflectors at forward down channel of door frame, like on pre 60's sportscars/roadster windshields. Deflectors only need to be about 4" long to be effective

    Gees; for that money you can almost go fly a pitts s2 and have a lot more fun and get csu tail dragger and aero tickets all at once.

    Jetex were never meant to return home; carry over miniature buzz bomb engines from nazi german assault on england, or neighbouring suburb..

    This is all wrong. There would have to be a large percentage of do bad terrorists out there that want to enjoy the added experience of building their own drone the way they think a drone should be built; opening the box for the first time; laying out all the bits across the lounge room floor; running off to bunnings or aldi aerospace to purchase missing pieces; arguing with the wife that it always looks the same pile of metal each time she looks at it week after week year after year; packing up and moving the entire build to new premises because landlord sold the property; cease and desist letters from council about industrial noise at 2am; cutting out side of the house to push finished drone out into front yard for engine testing; waiting eight and a half years for lockdowns to finish before flying drone mission into building only to realise target has retired from office to tropical tax haven island two days before end of lockdown... Gotta be high percentage out there of ones that enjoy the journey!! 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Criminal Negligence? Like politicians? Isn't engine failure caused by channel 7? 😕

    Natural gas comes out of the ground; thats why its called natural; must be good for us, because it comes out of the ground; like potato... or a carrot... or like oil... ... 🤔... 🤔

    This is clearly not Boeing's fault; cut them some slack. Ground engineer obviously screwed up or got a ping on iphone to check latest 2.5 second tiktok feature blockbuster film. All things being equal Boeing supplied aircraft; ground engineer received training with Boeing supplied content; ground engineer failed to implement Boeing approved method. So Boeing is accountable; it is Boeing's fault... 🤔... yeah that is a solid argument..

    If my pencil falls out through the little slidey bit on the canopy is that counted as light sport carbon emission, or throwing projectile from aircraft? 😐

    The best tune i ever got out of a 875cc hillman imp was 48mpg at 75mph. The best tune i ever got out of mg tf1500 was 42mpg at 72mph. The best tune i ever got out of a mini cooper s was wheel spinning in third gear at 50mph on slicks and dry tarmac 😊

    Trying to keep the data relevant; subject of oil should be fodder for never ending story 🙂

    Well you are going to have to do the additional training for big pants aviation either way. "Pay money, gain access", same all over the planet except for dogs cats birds fish and anything else non human except politicians.

    The subject presented has nothing to do with choice of oil; it's a mechanical and materials related design matter resulting in reduced component longevity. It would not at all be surprising if multiple engines exhibit these aspects of lifter wear if inspected at the end of TT.
