and

the "Forums" button on the Off Topic page works OK

but not on the Rec Fly page.

a delegation from the IOC with an announcement that our man Boris was to represent the nation at the bad hair Olympics.

duly came the final with three remaining contestants Boris, Donald and Kim fighting for the podium with all three pushing and shoving and trying to balance on the top spot.

The IOC calls in a whole alphabet of international consultant firms who recommend a circular podium with only one flat surface.

All three then refuse to stand on such an abomination of the competitive spirit and head off to their respective TV interviews

Is it possible to safely use 18mm coolant hose where Rotax calls for the difficult to source 17mm?

The FAA allows ferry or re positioning flights without passengers.

Why does he have to keep letting go of the stick?

Someone mentioned in another thread the poor ergonomics some have.....

If correctly  trimmed  there should be no need to touch the stick for the interval needed to adjust the flaps

certainly attitude changes with flap setting changes but not violently nor dramatically enough that no

Flying by wire?

took me a while

True Skippy,

But my concern is/was that every time that this system is used at some point the fuel/air mixture would be at a potentially explosive ratio.

Whereas with other systems the gas mixture in both the receiving and the delivering containers would be too rich at all times.

I used a foot operated lilo pump to pressurise a jerry can and it worked exceedingly well.

That is until I thought about it a bit more

Thoughts being

1 liquid fuel is not explosive

2 fuel-vapour is not explosive

3 fuel-vapour/air mixture is explosive

4 pressurised fuel-vapour/air mixture is a potential flame thrower.

With those thoughts in mind I went back to decanting liquid fuel from jerry can into Mr Funnel into aircraft.

"

They have already proposed a seperate yearly medical at 75 which was only removed from the proposed ops manual after it was pointed out that a yearly medical is already required for a driver’s licence.  I say watch closely. "
