  1. Be aware the usb volt meter may not read accurate; the one i installed reads a whole volt higher than actuals; confirmed with external test meter.
  2. The issue with the business model, like most, is that its "cost" incentive driven as opposed to "performance" incentive driven; broadly one of the two above dynamics never end well for anybody due to the presiding entity calling the shots... Someone mentioned the word Boeing; yes, exactly, case in point.
  3. How they function, what's great about them, and performance challenges present
  4. Research "Flightship" and you will discover what caused the project to be renamed and owner to relocate overseas. Its a great concept for many reasons, and hope they succeed.
  5. Which one gets me front switch in Milwaukee County Sheriffs Office?
  6. The blue oil hose could be a Parker aviation grade product line; google the reference numbers on the hose. You might want to check the Bristell parts catalogue to see what is factory under the hood. Anything 'on' the motor including fuel pumps is required to be Rotax factory spec. Anything running 'to' the motor needs to be Bristell factory spec. So check first before assuming things have been mod changed without a log book entry. Its quite possible the fuel supply line is Bristell factory installed.
  7. So there will be a university and petrol station as well on the island? What about a strip club?
  8. When will the incubation, sorry confiscation, sorry, correction, sanctuary, damn dit it again... when will the contamination, far out... Let's start again... When will the quarantine huts be settled at each side of the border?
  9. Sav only needs 50' to land and take off with a good head wind
  10. Boundary island must surely have two pubs 🤷‍♀️🤷🏼‍♂️
  11. Its possible the flex line was fitted when the blue oil hose mod was installed due to components clashing. If your engine is a certified red label version, without required mod cert approval, it is no longer certified. Unless there is a log entry the high pressure fuel flex line should be regarded as an unknown, and unless it can be identified as a high pressure fuel line then it would be prudent to replace it with a verified known spec component. Just because it looks right does not always mean it is. The last aircraft I purchased, after having a bit of a poke around, I realised the previous owner should not ever been allowed near any tools; which motivated giving the aircraft an entire and thorough scrutiny and expunging of all remaining badness. If the aircraft is 24 registered then return it to factory spec and maintain your insurance cover.
  12. The article mentions boeing 🤷🏻‍♂️
  13. Maintenance means parts replaced were manufactured by boeing. Only house getting off the hook at the moment is jabiru; appears they are enjoying a well deserved respite from being a general aviation punching bag.
  14. Beggs Muller is not a given for "all" aircraft. There are a multitude of subjective study papers and conclusions on this with each individual aircraft responding differently according to its inherent design, position of CG in the moment, and orientation of autorotation. Beggs Muller is not a blanket one size fits all affect. Anybody writing it off as a "fad" does not yet understand the intricacies of it.... Additionally anybody that thinks they need to be looking at the stars with the horizontal stabiliser beyond its positive or negative stalled position is not yet mentally flying through a three dimensional space and should go acquire some more advanced and challenging training.
  15. Another amazing gadget searching for a problem to solve. if it could clock 400kt, break into a hijacked jet liner, and dismember joe average hijacker who is not really named joe. Then it might be a useful thing. Still waiting for my flying car they promised me last century in 1923!
  16. Its a Boeing; police are taking notes... "cause of incident; Boeing", "supporting evidence... castle nut found on ground at Crown & Kembla by member of public.... other circumstances noted; "windows and doors missing..."
  17. https://www.pprune.org/rumours-news/658024-stuck-rudder-pedal-during-landing-roll-out-boeing-737-max-8-a.html
  18. Sounds like a bad Dream...
  19. Arriving with a few spare doors included we can assume.. 🧐
  20. Chippy had a shielded rudder; spin recovery results to be expected and not surprising; end of story...
  21. I dont recall that being presented in the basic training syllabus.. 🤔
  22. Short podgy man with glasses directing aircraft seen waddling away briskly from scene shortly after incident.... Fake security ID tag found laying upon tarmac belonging to R.E.Joyce
  23. Don't worry the media department of qantas will spin a line of their own on this incident to demonstrate how safe and efficient the airline is operated.
